2.2 ENRICHMENT | HALF TIME BEATS
Halftime beats are everywhere in popular music, from hip hop, pop, dubstep, to rock. In this lesson, you’ll learn how a simple change to the snare can make a big difference.
1 | Set Loop & Create Clip
Prepare your beat by setting the cycle bar to 2 bars, and creating a 2 bar empty clip.
2 | Snares, Kick, & Tempo
Put your snares on beat 3, kick on beat 1, and set your project tempo.
3 | Closed Hi Hats
Add 1/8th note and 1/16th note hi hats to make your beat ‘bounce’.
4 | Kicks
Add up to 6 kicks. Remember, with halftime, the placement of the kicks matters.
