I've always wanted a ''MP" even though i don't know what "MP" stands for........ANYWAY it's an electronic instrument that has 16 square buttons that make an individual sound. it's used to make beats using a steady process where you control the tempo.MP's are commonly used in the rap and hip hop business. I've always wanted an "MP" and there is still hope that i will get one soon.........

Mixing songs........Like on the radio^_^
when i mix songs on Garageband i go to Limewire and i download an acapella from a song and put on itunes then i download an instrumental from a different song and put it on itunes.After the songs are saved to my computer i put them in Garageband and listen to them put together several times.When i listen to the words i split parts of the acapella and arrange them in the instrumental so they can match the format of the beat so it can sound like i was in the studio with a famous rap star.I try my best to use my musical imagination.

Steps to making a beat on Garageband
1. Set the tempo for your beat and listen to it.
2. Select a drum or bass sound of your choice with your own rhythm and go with the tempo so you'll stay on beat.
3. You select a different instrument to create the main sound of the song that fits the drum beat.
4.Create a sequence of the beat by sorting the main sound and drums in different parts of the beat.
5.Put in an alternate sound to brighten the melody of the song.
6. Change the rhythm of the beat with a change of drums or another alternate sound.
7. Once your're done with your beat click each of the bars that have your sounds in it (one at a time) and fix the notes so it wouldn't bad.
8. listen to your beat twice and if you like it save it

My Life
My name is Montrel and I live the life of an everyday 15 year old, I go to school, study, do leisure activities, and try to behave. I've went though a car accident that was very ironic because thought I was going to get to my destination safely but I did not. I didn't feel pain until I was in the hospital.I was in the hospital for 10 months and I've been out for 3 years and I'm living life like its golden.
