Project 4

The mixed version


The original


For this i used Slayer FPC, and Brass under 3x 0sc. Everythings starts at once so that it can be a flawless loop if you were to repeat it over and over. I used the XY controller for the brass and the fruity filter for slayer and also vocodex. For the fpc i used the effect template with a delay which made the bass dru sound like 16th note when actually its quarter notes. I also used Hardcore set under the preset Funky fg. This gives it a deeper sound. With all the different effects the original (the second clip ) sounds much different than the ones with the effects.

Project 2



In project two i used four different channels: Fl Slayer, FPC, SimSynth and Boobass.I used Fl slayer to make up my guitar parts, i used the chopp tool to get a good rythm and then kept the pattern but changed some of the pitches. For two of the three guitar parts I transposed the first lower picht guitar part to a higher pitched and they rotate back and forth. What i did for FPC was took the section of drumbeats that would fit most with this song style and pop seemed to work best. So I took two rythms that sounded the same but had a different bass and snare rythms but still the same drum. I did this so that it sounds like one longer rythm when actually it is two that blend together. I also used FPC piano roll to create the drum break toward the 3/4 mark of the song and also the ending with the deap toms and crash symbol. The Simsynth was used to make a slightly akward, carnival, interesting sound that goes down and back up the scale. It is the opening to the song and used in measures 19-23 were it was transposedto a lowwer pitch so the song would end on a low sim to a high guitar then to a low deap feeling guitar and drum. For the Boobass i used the chop tool to make a bass line. I have one lower calm bass line and another choppier bass line that alternate with the different guitar parts.

The song starts out with the carnival type sound and when it starts the second time the 2 drum beats start alternating. Then the low pitch bass comes and alternates with the choppier bass. The carnival stops playing and heads into the guitar parts that swap from the higher to the transposed lower. After some measures of that it cuts out and goes into a drumbreak. After the drum break the Carnival and drumbeats start up and stop again to one of the guitar parts then to a low dark guitar riff and ends with six tom hits and a crash symbol.
