Alright, so I'm totally new here and to creating my own music so bare with me. First off, I'm made some drums sounds with the drum machine and chosen a base riff from the templates. How do I get them to match up bpm wise?
I would suggest to find the right bpm for your genre of music you are going for 90,100,120,128 are the most popular, however play around with the bpm if it sounds too radical slow it down a bit, if that doesnt work try starting off and practice something simple using Kicks and mixing it in with some snare the more u mix the better it can sound, Good luck!
When you created your drum object, did you follow the beat? How? By turning on the metronome and playing to it?
Or did you create a MIDI object without following the beat? If so, then you have to edit the MIDI object to line up your hits (like notes on the piano) with the bars.Perhaps you can explain in more detail, "chosen a base riff from the templates." Which templates? Soundpools, Robota? What?
We can't see what you did so you have to explain in detail.
