OK. So in this part, we're gonna be looking at arranging the song that we've already made. Now, there are lots of A I tools which will just generate an entire instrumental for you. However, what we want to show you is an a tool that can take information that you've already generated for it and then it arranges it for you. So in this case, we're gonna be using Logic Pro and we're gonna be using the session player function which allows you to uh create a drum track, a bass track and a keyboard track as well. The reason we want to do this is because ultimately, um we believe that it's important that the creativity initially comes from you and that you're using A I as a tool to help support and augment your creative decisions you're already making. So we have got the projects that we're working on in previous parts with the piano part, the basic piano part with the chords and then also the A I vocal, let's have a quick listen to it just to refresh your memory. I want you to know that I lo...

ve you. I know you feel it too. I am never go. Now, let you go. Our fire will always glow with every beat. I feel so alive from the till dawn. I'm in paradise. Paradise. Paradise. OK. So that's up to the end of the first chorus there. We've got some functional chords and we've got an A I vocal that is singing the melody that we want to do. Now, let's try and expand on that flesh out the arrangement. So first way we do this is we click on new instrument and we're gonna go to session player and uh I'm gonna show you two different options. First one we're gonna do is more of an upbeat sort of pop arrangement. And the second one is gonna be more of a ballad and down tempo arrangement. So let's start with the upbeat one. When I'm doing an upbeat arrangement, often I like to start with getting the groove or the rhythm section feeling right. So we're gonna start with the drummer in session player. So I'm gonna create that and there we go, we have it just there and let's just play what logic has generated for us. I want you to know. Love you. I know you feel it too. I am never go. Let you go. Our fire will always glow with the OK. So it's given us a groove to start off with and there's a lot of things that we can do to just tweak this and make it more the sound we want it to. So I want more of an electronic drum sound. So I'm gonna go down to here, I'm gonna click on pop songwriter and I can change the type of drummer that I want. So I'm gonna change it to an electronic drummer. Then I'm gonna look at the different styles. So I could go for EDM Tech House dubstep. I'm gonna go for synth pop because that's what I had in my mind when I was thinking of this song. So we're gonna click synth pop. Let's have a listen to what it's given us. Now. I want you to know. I know you feel it too. OK? That's more of the sound that I was um hoping for. So that's great. There's these two bars here that we can adjust. There's one which is complexity, there's one which is intensity. So let's see what happens at the moment. Complexity is about halfway. Let's see what happens when I up complexity up to 100 and see what changes with the beat. I want you to do. I know you feel it. So suddenly we've got a tremendous amount, more of different fills on the snare. It's busier. The kick drum is doing more things as well. I don't necessarily want that for my verse section. I wanna keep it feeling quite simple. So I'm gonna drop it down to about just slightly lower than we were. And let's see how that sounds. I want you to know. I know you feel it too. Never go. I'll let you go. I will, I might drop the intensity as well slightly just so that when we get to our chorus, I'm gonna make it feel even more intense. It's gonna make the chorus feel even more impactful. So let's just drop that down as well. Hear how that sounds. I want you to know that. I love you. I know you feel it too. Never go. I let you go. Our fire will always glow with, OK. Great. I'm happy with that. Now, in this box here, we can decide what instruments are gonna be playing. At what time I think for my verse, I'd quite like to try not having high hats or a shaker. And then when we bring those in, in the chorus again, the chorus is gonna feel texturally more dense and it's gonna feel even more impactful. So I'm just going to deselect this and deselect this and let's see how that sounds. I want you to know that I love you. I know you feel it too. Never good. I let you go. Our fire will always glow with every beat. OK? I am happy with that. I can change as well. Different rhythms. So let's go down to one, this is the pattern that the drums are following. Let's click on, follow chord rhythm and I'm gonna, you've got a selection of different rhythms that you can try. So let's try out, let's try out number five. See how that's different. I want you to know. Said I love you. I know you feel it too. Never go. And that's cool. So he's got kind of a little lecture of a, a skip to it. Boo boo boo. I quite like that. I might keep that. I think I'm also gonna go back in here and there is the option to follow a track that you've already got. So, um I quite like how the electric piano chords are being pushed. They um the second chord is coming in on beat four of the previous bar rather rather than on the beat. So I'm gonna change it. So this instrument, the, the, the drummer follows the classic electric piano and that's again, changed the part. Let's see what it sounds like. I want you to know said, I love you. I know you feel it too. I am never going. Now let you go. Our fire will always glow with every OK. Now, I, as at the end, we've got this little fast stabby bit of snare drums that's doing a drum fill. Um We can now say how much we, how many fills we want in this uh track and then also how complex those fills are as well with these two faders here. So let's uh let's see what happens when I just put this up to 100% and complexity up to 100%. Let's hear how that sounds. It's gonna be interesting. I want you to know that I love you. I know you feel it too. I am never go. I let you go. Our fire will always low with every, if that was a live drummer and I was playing in a room with that drummer, I'd probably tell them to chill out like it's doing a lot of stuff there. So let's drop that right back down. It was around about there, I think round about 10 o'clock and then let's bring complexity down as well. Maybe what we can do is when we're um putting drums in the chorus, we can add a few more films and we can make those a bit more complex. But for my verse section, I want it to feel pretty simple. Um So let's bring that down again. Let's hear it one more time. I want you to know said I love you. I know you feel it too. I am never going. Now, let you go. Our fire will always glow with every OK, I'm happy with that. Now, we're gonna move on to the chorus and as I've said, we wanna make the chorus feel more upbeat, more energetic, more dense. So we're gonna copy over this file and we're gonna just paste that in there. And now at this point, we are gonna up complexity. We're gonna up intensity and I'm gonna bring in this high hat and the shaker. Let's see how that sounds. Oh, we're also going to increase the amount of fills, increase the complexity of them. Let's see how that sounds. We'll listen to the end of the verse going into the chorus. We're always low with every, ok, I'm immediately happy with that. I might make it slightly more intense, I think just so, it really feels like a step up in energy with the, what happens? Should we add some cowbell? I think that's a really important thing that we need to do. Let's click on the cowbell. Let's see what happens here. Ok. I like the sound but it's doing this kind of offbeat thing which makes it sound a bit more comedic. So let's go for a rhythm that looks more on the beat and maybe a bit busier. So let's try four. Let's see what four does. Here we go. We, some town. Yes, I'm happy with that. That is the right amount of cowbell that I would like. So that's working really, really well.
