FIVE LAYERS OF MUSICAL CONTROL

ADVANCED TOOLS FOR MUSIC CREATION

Liquid Music separates music into different parts or “layers” that you can tweak and customize to build the perfect track. Each layer offers unique tools for morphing and evolving your music until it’s just right. Check out the different layers and tools below!

• SKETCH - Sketch is where all the layers come together into one intuitive musical shape. Simply click and drag to create original harmonies, spark new song ideas and draw the shape of your music.
• KEY - The key and mode of your song impact more than the selection of notes—it influences the mood your track has. Major keys for clear harmonies and positive or upbeat affect, go minor for something darker, or explore other more rare keys and modes to find some stranger harmonies.
• CHORDS - Chord progressions provide the harmonic framework of your song—finding the right one is a crucial step in shaping your track, and sets the possibilities for all the other musical interactions you create.
• VOICE - The more voices you use, the richer and more complicated the melodies and chords will be. Use the Voice Layer panel to add just the right amount of harmony.
• RHYTHM - Liquid Music’s Rhythm Layer leverages the host of tools offered by Liquid Rhythm drum and percussion software, only geared to the rhythmic aspect of your melodies and chords.

CREATE SONG IDEAS IN SECONDS

SKETCH. EXPLORE. CREATE.

Crafting original song ideas with Liquid Music couldn’t be easier. Sketch shapes and explore unique melodies to get your creativity flowing and set a direction for your music. Dial in the perfect groove and beat with the rhythm features. Then polish your idea by taking control of the musical layers—change keys to evoke a different mood, add harmonies, alter the rhythm to humanize the performance, and more. How you want to create is up to you, Liquid Music just helps you do it a whole lot faster.
