■ Overdubbing the Hi-hat — Rhythm Track 2 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Now, let’s flesh out the rhythm a bit with some hi-hat parts — and add a turntable scratch at the end.
21 Using the “In the Fast Lane” box above as a guide, go on to Rhythm
Track 2, and make the settings as described here.
Turn the indicated buttons on and set them to the instruments shown.
While you’re programming the instruments, let the Pattern play. Hearing the sounds as you
enter them is a great help in constructing hip tracks.
■ Snare and Ethnic Spice — Rhythm Track 3 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
For the final mix, we’ll record a snare backbeat — and throw in some Indian tabla and other percussion for
good measure.
22 Have you got the hang of the things by now? Use “In the Fast Lane” above as a
cheat sheet if necessary, and program Rhythm Track 3 as shown.
