Hello.
This is my latest song and it is out on Spofity from today. It's also on YouTube and all other places where music is put.
https://open.spotify.com/track/5tgCSHMPOkiebBFFzb7Ahy?si=9cd4a02be3b04f86https://youtu.be/wDp8temT33MHere is the story how it is made:
I wanted a latin style groove and had the idea to change between major and minor in feeling, and also change keys a few times. Actually there are four key changes in less than the two minutes the song last. I always try to keep everything around two minutes. The key changes are between A minor and C minor so even if it is three steps it fits well in harmony.
I picked tempo 120 and style _GUAJIRA.STY which has some great musicians and groove.
This is the ground verse.
|a) Am7| D7| G7| CMaj7 E7| A7| D7| G7| CMaj7 Em7|
|a) Am7...| Bm/A..| C/A| D/A...| FMaj7/A..d| G/A...d| E7| A7sus..d|
After that I tried the funktion to create an Intro in Jazz style, 4 bars, and tried it several times until I found some cool chords I liked. Then I manually changed them three Keys so I got the first key change right after the intro.
Next step was to pick BLUE and GREEN boxes for different groove. Then I used the very cool function CHORD OPTIONS and there put in some HOLD and SHOT chords. Sometimes with the exceptions for the drums.
When I was happy with everything in BIAB I exported the instruments to Garageband using DAW. Then I started creating the melody on guitars. This time I kept all instruments, ofter times I play everything except the drums. Short about the mixing in Garageband I often put comp guitar and piano right and left around 35 and drums and bass in the middle. If I only play one guitar it's also in the middle but when I play two at at the same time I have them at 15 right and left.
That's about it. To get it on Spotify I use Rotenote where I have put many songs now, alla short instrumental in blues, rock, jazz, latin etc. Remember to have a copyright free photo if you put songs there.
Hope you enjoy and someone got inspiration and some ideas.
