Project Tasks
You’ve successfully recorded a single-take Software Instrument Bass part. In a few minutes you’ll work with the Smart Controls and the arpeggiator to record a more complex bass part using multiple-take recording. For now, you’ll hone your current skills to learn and practice the new bass part.
Create a cycle area from bar 17 to 25. Display the Note Pad to see which notes you need to play for the Bass Part 2 Chorus. Open the Musical Typing window and play the new part along with the song. Use the Score Editor to look at the notes you need to play. Remember that you are just learning the individual notes. You’ll add the arpeggiator in the next section.
The keys you will be playing on your computer keyboard/Musical Typing window are K, G, F, K, A, F, K. Once you have practiced the part, stop playback.
