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 :)
Very good work here Dakota. The riff is everything. Excellent job on that piece- I had it stuck in my head for a few hours after hearing it in the lab.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to be creative under a deadline, so I understand your writers block. Remember that the purpose of these assignments is to get you familiar with the tools available in FL studio, and not so much to create a complete album of songs. What you have here demonstrates that. I especially like the kick. It's almost over the top as far as bass presence, and the edge that it has- perhaps from the vocoder- is a great sound. I'm sure you'll get inspired for the next part and cme back to finish it. Well done.
