Ultimate Trap Music Booklet on Logic Pro X

This Booklet on Trap Music is designed to be ran on Logic Pro X. Some prior experience of Logic Pro X would be helpful but not essential. It is most suited to Year 9 or Year 10 BTEC Music Practice Component 1.

The booklet consists of some flexible starter pages, followed by an introduction to the basic features of Trap Music. After this, there is a step by step guide to creating a Trap backing track arrangement on Logic Pro X. This backing track is based around the chords and bassline of Still Dre, which students use and manipulate into a Trap style.

The step-by step process for students is as follows (with clear images and text to guide students through each step)

• Students learn how to play the chords and bassline of Still Dre.
• Chords are recorded on the first Track of Logic Pro X.
• Drum Beat using bass and snare recorded on another track.
• Hi Hat pattern recorded using note repeat on another track.
• 808 Bassline sound created using ES2 Synth and altering settings.
• 808 Bassline sound used to record the bassline of still dre.
• Composed melody created by students on another track.
• Structure, texture, automation and panning are developed for the entire project.
• Finally, Students are guided through a mixdown of the project as an MP3.

at the end of the booklet there is a success criteria page followed by page for giving students feedback on an assessment page.
