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.

I'm finishing up my vocodex project, I added a couple more sounds today like a new symbol and also using the riff machine on bass added some bass to the loop too. I fixed some of the akward sounding sounds as well and im almost finish with it.

Today I worked on project 5 using the vocoder. I found my sound last class and today worked on a loop around it. Using FPC and a "plunk" sound it was called. the german speaking sound was put into the loop with snaps and also a kick drum. I like where my loops going.

Project 4. Automation

The first thing I did when starting this project was to find a simple, but at the same time very cool sounding drum loop. I did, and then started fooling around with the pad vector and wrote an interesting sequence to it. When I added the pad vector to the loop I decided I wanted another rock drum loop to complete it. I used those three loops to create 8 measures and at the end added another pad to make it sounds slow and to end the piece.

Project 3. FX

Project 3. Was the first project that challenged me in finding the right sounds, notes, and loops. Adding FPC to this loop was easy, I found a simple rock drum loop, and started getting challenged when I found more than one guitar sounds that I liked. Adding them into one loop was difficult but I fit them well into the beginning and sort of as a fill in some parts. Overall my project has tons of guitar sounds, and that's what I liked about it.
