Project 8

Project 8 was dubstep. And it was awesome. If i didnt get off to such a slow start it would have been way better. So, this was started off by making a half time drum beat, a staple of dubstep. My loop was made by having a highhat on every first beat and a kick on only the very fist. I also had a snare on the third. My other drum beat is identical, except it has one more highhat hit. I actually lied, i have two more drum beats. Alright, the other one is identical to the last, except it has one more snare hit/bass kick. The last one has a kick on the first and third, three highhat hits, and two snare. I made a sound in 3xOsc which had a square wave in every oscillator. It has a low delay, lower attack, and medium amount and speed. The pitch is very high. This was the base for all of my sounds, they are just different in pitch. For the "drop", i have two notes in different pitch stretched out, and i made an automation clip that made the pitch drop down. I then put a sound that is a bunch of notes playing at the same time. It sounds kind of like a laser, so i just tossed it after the drop. I brought the pitch back up and put in one of my sounds. I made a bass to go with it that is identical. I alternated between a few sounds and added my wobble bass automation clip. I made it fast at some parts, and slow at others. Variation. When i had time a put in a synced explosion, but i didnt have time to do much more. I almost forgot, i accidentally added gross beat, and something messed up when i saved it so i couldnt take it off. I didnt think it was much of an issue though, i didnt really sound that bad, so i left it. I switched up my drum beats every once in a while, took them out, etc. I put a volume fade out at the end. I had a lot of fun with this project, i just wish i started better so i had more time. I almost forgot this too: the mood is supposed to be sort of high and happy until the drop, where the pitch gets lower. Enjoi!!!! :D

Project 7

Alright, I've said this before, but its been quite a while sense i have done this, so bear with me please. I am not spelling well right now either haha. Here it goes: i accidentally made another spacey-techno one, i dont know how, but i did. It's made to be pretty slow. Because it is the sytrus project, of course i made some sounds in it. My first sound in sytrus was a sine waveform and the filter type is SVF.the waveshaper mix know if very high. the volume envelope goes from low, to high, to medium, to low. under FX, i have the chorus order at 9. i have no delay in unit 1 or the reverb unit. On my second sytrus sound, i have a sawtooth wave shape. For the volume envelope, i have it starting very high, curving to the middle, and getting very low very fast. In FX, i have the chorus order set on one and i do have delay in delay unit 1 but not the reverb unit. I then made a chord progression with the first one, which was B4-A4-E4, E5-A#4-F4, F5-A#4-F4. The chord progression with the second sound is too much work to type out, hahaha. I made another one that i also dont want to type out. The drum loops in this song are primarily cymbal hits. The first loop is just two cymbal hits and one kick. The second one is cymbal hits on every one beat, except the end where it's on the three and four. I arranged all the sounds and had the master volume fade out at the end. Like i sort of said before, this is meant to be kind of spacey and light feeling. Enjoi.
