Beats
Low thumps and crisp hits make the pulse you can tap your foot to.
MEET THE SOUND FAMILIES
Every sound has
a personality.
A beat gives music its feet. A melody gives it something to hum. A texture makes the whole thing feel like a place.

Melody
A pattern of pitches gives you the part you might whistle later.
〰
Texture
A soft hiss, a buzz, or a shimmer adds color behind the main sound.

Voice-like sounds
Even without words, a bendy tone can seem to call, answer, or sing.

SOUND IN A MIX
One layer at a time.
Start with a steady beat. Add a melody that leaves room for it. Finish with a texture that fills the quiet spaces. Turning one part off can make the others easier to hear.
