3OSC plugin is used in creating synth and lead sounds. There's the sinusoidal, ping-pong, zig-zag and saw patterns to create beats.

I added a snare-808 sound to the beat.

Always remeber that each genre of music (Rap, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Pop, Dancehall, Rock, etc) has a particular drum pattern they follow. So when trying to create your drums, you must know the type of genre of music you want to produce.

Lecture 5 coming up pretty soon. Hold on to your horses.
