Project 7

I designed my own synth sound using the sytrus in fl studio. I started by changing the pitch envelope to a random shape sort of going up from bottom left to top right. Also the pitch lfo to a triangle looking shape. I liked the sound of my synth, it was catchy and interesting. I put the synth into the piano roll and randomly started choosing riff machine sounds. One stood out to me and I put that certain one into my loop. The sound is very "busy" it never really takes a break and are short beats that go up and down. The form that this is in and AB. Yes it is short but I wanted to keep it simple and not seem to be too repetitive. I added a fl slayer song and also some snaps and kicks.

Today I worked on my bass line to my loop. I worked with a simple bass loop at first but then mixed up the rhythm to it. I used ghost channels to help make my synth and bass line up. After working awhile on The bass i went to add it to my song and it was deleted. Next I'll be working to make up that same bass loop again.

Project 6: sytrus

This Project, project 6 was about making your own synth sounds in order to create your own loop. After making 2 of my own synth sounds I put them both into the piano roll and pulled up the riff machine. I found two different loops for my synth sounds in the riff machine, and added them inot my playlist. I worked wit ha fpc drum loop and also a bass line to fit my synth sound. Overall I didnt want my loop to sound clustered so I kept my loop simple and catchy.

Today I worked on project 6 using the ghost channel, which helped me put my bass into my loop because I had trouble finding a loud and strong enough bass. I added more drums also

Project 5. Vocodex

Working on this project was fun because we got to play around with a recorded voice and make it sound a lot different than the original.This project wasn't any harder than the rest because the only thing I did different was put in a voice into my loop. working with loops now though is a lot easier and I use the previous things we learned and I know more about where I can change everything in my loop and also change it up so its not as boring. Overall in this piece I used a lot of high hats and also added bass. I used the new riff machine to add bass into my loop, which is a lot easier than guessing what will sound good. I also added things like a kick and snap that repeats throughout the loop too. The voice that I added was German voice reading poetry that now sounds more like an alien, haha. So that pretty much sums up my Project 5.
