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.
