kanye west- Love Lockdown Remix

this is my love lockdown remix. i had trouble thinking of what i should put in the chorus and verse of the song. so i listened to the original for awhile are realized that it needed "spice" so i added drum and synth loops and altered the intro to speed it up. the ending was very plain so i added a fpc and synth to jazz it up. the main synth was a sine wave with a low pass filter. hope you like it.

ringtone

here is my ringtone, this is one of many that i have made over the semester. it is a hip-hop flavored 15 second loop.

Project 7 is here

i finally finished project 7. i used a low pass filter and chorus on five for my first synth used in Section A and the intro. the second synth in section B is a high pass filter w/ the chorus on four. as i described in my previous updates i have had trouble with my bass sound. i searched for awhile but realized i personally like the original. the drums were fooled with for awhile beacuse i didnt know if i should use riff machine or to create somehting of my own. so doing the sensible thing a did both made my own and used riff machine, i think they really balance each other out. i used the deep sounding bass for my riffs but brought it up 2 octaves to balance. i really tried to make everythign work as best as it could and not just use cool sounding riffs and melt them together. hope you like my loop.

update 2

today i worked on my bass sounds and got really frustrated with how it all sounded. so i am planning on re-doing my bass next class. other than that i love my loop. cant wait to share!

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!
