update 1 for project seven

i never got to blog last class, but i started to make my synths. the first one has a low pass filter and a little chorus. the second is a sine wave with a low pass also. today i made two more synths, one for lead and one for bass. The lead has a high pass filter and the bass a low pass. i added "bassdeepsq" and changed pitches to match the loops. i had a different b section last class but now that is deleted to make a happier dance beat sounding all-around loop. i played around with the riff machine and learned that if you write a bass part, it will think up a lead part that sounds great with the rest of the loop. im not sure if i really like how the intro works but it soundsbetter to me as the loop progresses. so for now i think i am done and will play around with other synths

update

today we learned about what we are going to do in project 7. I'm not too happy with my synth sound now so i'm going to definitely change it next class. and ask mr. Rabuse about panning, and volume effects because i forgot about how to use them. making my own synth is going to be difficult but i am going to make sure mine is jst right for my song.

project seis sytrus

This is my sytrus loop. i spent a good week really finding the sound that i liked and at one point my loop sounded like it should be in pokemon. at first i had all my channels running through riff machine with no bass. my loop sounded too shrill and busy. so i toned it down(literally) and added bass. with the guidance of Mr. Rabuse i found that simple patterns all add up to something big and make a cool blend. so with this project i tried to blend everything together and keep it "central". hope you enjoy!

november 18

today i posted project 5 and was pleased with my results. after posting i played around with edison and vocoder for awhile. and found that guitar solos are quite easy to make in fl studio.

project 5 vocoder

we have been working on a voice moding project. this is my loop. i had a lot of trouble making this loop. i was messing around with the vocoder and was just starting to get the hang of it when everyone else was starting their projects. after looking around i found a couple of great voice loops. after i looked for drum loops i found some great sounding drums. then i worked for awhile adding bass loops. in the end i couldnt find a good drum loop. so aftyer searching fpc i found a good funk groove and added that to finish my scary/funny loop.

today while searching freesounds.com i found a bunch of cool/scary voice loops. I found two little girls singing ring around the rosie and made it sound double tracked with a demon. It was a successful class, next class I'm going to put a few loops together of famous people and their devilish other side.

Automation Project 4

here is my automation loop. i was inspired by a reggae high note feel along with a techno synth line. my drums have reverb and my synth lines soar with there pan effects. i had lots of fun filtering different sounds, and also had some trouble getting my synth sound exactly right, i had to play with the solo in the piano roll.

here is my new loop. i created it while being inspired by classic rock, and metal. i think the loop turned out to sound like a metal/hip hop dance loop. The guitar parts are all in the same area in key, and the drums have reeverb 2 on them. I used flange and chorus for my guitar parts. Hope you enjoy!
