Music is amazing. It has the ability to turn something that is completely boring into something interesting. It can stand alone or also work as part of a video. When creating a piece of looping music the first thing you need to do is record your samples.

When recording music you have to make sure that your samples are in time. When I started mine I used the dropping ball on my iPhone to keep in time. Since I was doing it all in one take, and in a bit of a rush, I only managed to get up to four different parts. When you are making your own music the best way to do it is to follow this process:

1. Record a part
2. Put it over what you already have
3. Think about what beats will sound good over the top

This way it gives you more control and a better sense of how your piece is going to sound.

Software you can use to do this is very varied. I used my video editing software which allows me to overlay different tracks of music. Software such as Audacity enables you to sync lots of different sounds together and create a more structured sounding song, and it's free. However if you want to also record video over the top you will have to make sure it keeps in time with your actions.

To create this style of music isn't particularity hard and has a million different possibilities. Anything can sound good when it is sampled and edited together. As you get better you might think about investing in software such as Fruity Loops which enables you to create a whole range of songs, as well as being able to autotune different sounds to make them sound with each other perfectly.

The next step is to start adding harmonies and melodies, or using sounds you have recorded and autotuning them to sound how you want them to. Don't fear and give it a go. The learning curve isn't that steep and experience counts for everything.
