project 4

FX. Different things to enhance a piece of music. The piece starts off with a simple drum loop with the beats on 2 and 4, with an overlay of a delayed kick dum. The delay was not created by me. When I found the sound it was already added on. I did listen to it without the delay but it didn't have the "off-beatishness". The peice moves into the drum loop/ submaster that plays throught most of the peice. The submaster and the hat have fruity reeverbs attached. This loop sounds fine if I remove the reeverbs but it gives it more fullness to keep it intact, expecially on the hat. The melody, the boobass, has both a reeverb and a flanger. The flanger gives the bass its skippy sound, which was the what I had been trying to create on my own when I made the piano roll. The reeverb doesn't add much to the peice at all but after hearing with it on for so long, it sounds like something is missing when I remove it.

project 3

Chopping. Taking a something and making into tinier pieces. In this case, chopping a note into multiple notes. I started "building" this loop from the drum line up. Adding a chopped slayer and bass to the drum line created the back ground loop that is found throught out the piece. The drum/guitar loop heard throught out the piece is actaully one loop transposed four times. Even the loop behined the second over lay is the first pattern, the only difference is I added a boobass, a high hat, and a clap. The melody is an "Aladin" style over lay, followed by an arpeggio major cord.
