So how are you suppose to do what I am trying? Or won't it work? Or is there a better way? I was also wondering about the step sequencer itself.
Drum step sequencer studio one 2 how to#
But then I couldn't figure out how to re-select the original pattern if I wanted to change it. I was able to create a new pattern with the step sequencer without changing the original one. Then it occurred to me that maybe my cursor wasn't in the right measure, so I tried it again. By chance, I opened the staff view and I saw where the different drums were placed on the staffs and I was able to add my ending that way. I tried to add something new using the step sequencer, but I extended up changing the original pattern. But then I thought.the ending should be different. It sounded pretty good for my first attempt. I entered the pattern into the step sequencer and then extended it to the length of my song.
I read part of the book and then I came to a page where they had four simple patterns that they said had appeared on many hit records. That's when I dug on the book I had bought. I didn't know how to correlate mine with his. But his drums were labeled D3, B3, DB3, etc. I was going to mimic exactly what he did, but when I added session drummer to a track, I had actual drum names. In one video I watched, he used the step sequencer to create a drum "pattern". I watched a couple of videos and then I dug out a book called Fast Track Drums 1 that I had bought some time ago, thinking it would help me adding drums to my music. Yesterday I wondered how hard it was to create other tracks. I was using Sonar X3 or Notation to create sheet music of my songs. All my songs so far have just been piano and voice.
