Project 5

My project five is actually not done yet. I got it to a build up but haven't yet been able to really achieve what i want to happen after the build up. So here's my post for what I do have done. I started out by using the noise envelope and creating that awful sound in the beginning. I put it into my mixer and put fruity filter on it. I don't really remember what I changed in the filter but I think it was the cutoff frequency. Then I went in to sytrus and created a synth. I used the preset saw and then made the output filter1 and edited the synth to my liking. Then I was just messing around and came up with some notes that ended up being my "riff". Next thing i did was add some kick, because every song needs it :) I chose fls_kick07 because to me its the deepest kick and i like it. Then i also put it in to the mixer and put fruity limiter and fruity parametricEQ2 on it giving it a more full and hard "thud" to it so it would sound nice with a sub. Next Mr.Rabuse suggested I use the poizone synth since you can do so much with it. So i added poizone and we came up with three different patters to go along with my original synth. Then i added an automation clip on the amount envelope to make the synth swell and fall. After all that i was quite stuck with my piece so i went with a highhat ha. I put my hat into the mixer as well and actually put fruity blood overdrive and fruity vocoder on it. I thought this gave it a less harsh high pitched sound to it and made it more round. Then i added an automation clip to frequency envelope and made my highhat swell where my poizone synth fell. That leaves me with where I am now, a build to nothing. I'm sure i will think of somewhere my song can go, Its just taking me some time. So I hope you like what I've got :)

Just an update on my Demo project

Have alot to do but right now just getting the basics down. Its a start.

Project 4

I guess i go back and forth, one i don't like and one i do...so this one is a don't. But any who, for this project I used distorted metal channel, Phat bass, Fpc drums, fruity filter and the default kick drums. I started off with the distorted metal choosing three notes and then chopping them to get a pattern. After that I added the phat bass and chose main notes and points to hit that my guitar has. It was supposed to be more of back up but because of the settings I put for the fruity filter it made my bass seems more as the highlight. Of course as always I had to get some drums in there. (Iheartdrums) I chose the FPC breakbeat12. I like heavier drums but that wouldn't have went to well with this. After I had everything made up i started putting automation clips on the master volume, making it fade in, and on the phat bass making it fade out at one point and slowly back in so the transition was smoother. Well that's that, enjoy. If thats possible ha.

Not mine.

Rabuse this is for you -

Project 3

Finished my project three pretty quickly, took me like three days I think; but I really like it so I hope everyone else does too. I started out by going into SimSynth, and choosing the sound deep brass. Then I chose a note that I wanted my piece to revolve around. After that I put it into the piano role and chopped it till I got and energetic but controlled sound. Time to move on to drums, I went into FPC and sorted through it until I found one that matched the synth well. Qucik and easy, then I decided I wanted a fade in so I went back in to the synth and made a new pattern with the one note I chose and just had it hold it out. Then I put an automation on the master volume for it to fade. Next I felt like my piece needed to change up a bit and decided I wanted a poppy, techno guitar sound. I tried slayer but just wasnt finding the sound I wanted, so I went back into SimSynth and chose a guitar sound, with a note that would fit into my current sound and chopped it until I got what I was looking for. I also put an automation on it to get louder. When going back to my original sound i thought it needed to kinda change a bit to keep the spice going with my guitar beat so I cloned my original beat and then put an automation on it as well. Then towards the end I just made my song fade out..Thought I was done but Mr. Rabuse thought I should ad a simple kick where I cut my drums off. So I picked a deeper kick that I liked and it worked out nicely :)

Project two originally

This is project two before I completely changed it. And it wasnt completed so I dont suggest listening till the end haha.I just kept playin the right hand for fur elise.. It was just for fun.

Project 2

So here is project two, I seem to have a problem with wanting one thing then completely changing my mind halfway through the song so this is what I ended up with. For the beggining I simply pulled a common drum move, four taps with the stick sound of my choice. I used the Sytrus(303ish 3) for the piano making it what my song is mostly about. I also put a guitar part using slayer to accompany my piano.Then to add I did three different drum sounds. The first one was used mostly throughout the whole song. For it I just picked one out of the Fpc that I liked. For the other two I did one my own beat and the other fpc, mostly just adding them for kick. All through out the making of this I mostly tweeked all the sounds, changing their pitches to what I wanted and so forth.

Project 1

So my drum loop is finally done, deffinitely not perfect but its better than it was.
