Ninth Project

Here it is, my last project ever. I hope it is a good parting gift. It was not the masterpiece I was hoping for, but I like it none the less.



I used some old synthes I created and used some chords. The structure of it took me awhile to come up with but I think it worked out in the end. I also experimented with volume control to make it sound better and to give it an ending, which I like, even if it is anticlimactic. I hope you all enjoy my last project.

Tenth Project

No I haven't forgotten how to count. I know I skipped nine because I finished project ten before nine. don't worry, nine is coming. Here's ten, my attempt at commercial music.



The idea for this project is to take a commercial without any sound and to add our own music and sound effects. While I succeeded at the music part, I was less than good with the voices that would normally go with a commercial about toothpaste.

I used steel drums to give it a happy sound to it and to give it structure, but I was unregulated in my melody. That's why it sounds random.

eighth project

Here it is at last, my eighth project.



I feel terrible about this one. The ending is not what I wanted but time has forced my hand again. Curse you time!

The entire project wasn't a failure though, I got two great sounding synths out of it which I hope to use in my next project. I should probably describe them, here they are:

Phat Saw - This one is unique since it goes up and down an octave and has a loop. This makes it sound awesome and fun to listen too.

Woah - I forgot what makes this one unique but if you turn the Modulation X knob the sound it creates is wicked. (can I use wicked to describe it)

I admit the structure of this song was heavily influence by my last project but if it works don't fix it.

Hopefully my next project will be better and more thought out then this rush job.

S.S. Pride and Joy (seventh project)

I have to be honest for a sec. I was dreading this summary of my song ever since I saw how much work I put into it(I kept notes while working, just over two pages of notes), so I decided just to sum it up instead of going into details because face it, besides Mr. Rabuse nobody is going to care. Without further ado here is my seventh project:



For the first Sytrus I made, I gave it a combination of two different waves, upped the BPM to 160, and created a motif using a modification of ParagonX9's "Chaaz Fantasy" (for details on it head over to http://blackhole12.deviantart.com/art/Sytrus-Synth-Creation-Part-3-75988419 and check it out) Then I gave it a unison, and come Chorus and Reverb(that may be way it sounds so industrial). This first one was not my pride and joy of the four. The second one was.

Started off by making it into a saw wave, then gave it a Lime Low Pass Filter, followed by taking away the chorus and giving it some delay with reverb. Don't know what I did to make sound so full but it works and I'm proud of it, maybe the answer is in the details. On to the next one.

This third one may be my second favorite with it being a little simpler than the last one. All I did was head over to the OSC tab and make a semi-curve (the best I could do with a mouse and a shaky hand) but it had a smooth button to smooth it out. Like I said this was simple. Now for the last, and certainly not least, Sytrus.

Unlike the previous Sytrus where I made a simple curve, I went nuts in the OSC tab. To avoid having this one sound like scraping metal I enable the plucker which made it sound like a guitar (in a way). That's it for the Sytrus, now for the hard part.

Originally I had the first Sytrus with the bass line as the bass for the entire song with the the other Sytruses (I think that's the plural) filling in the other rolls of one of my typical songs but that didn't work. so after so fiddling I had some custom stuff going and that didn't work either. But, since third times a charm, I remember a certain composer I heard once, He would use the same melody with different instruments so I decided to use the same bass line from the beginning for all of them. And in the end I have what you hear now. So, please sit back, listen, enjoy, and comment (since I LOVE comments).

EDIT: after Mr. Rabuse listen to my original song he told me I was missing something, DRUMS. They have been a staple in everyone of my projects and I have forgotten them, now then enjoy the new version, now with 75% more FPC.

ANOTHER EDIT: It is said that no battle plan survives contact with the enemy, the same can be said with songs and Mr. Rabuse. After some weird food metaphors I understood that the drums in my last version were random and bad, so after a complete redo on my part the drums were toned down to simpler ones. And after that Mr. Rabuse came by again and help me redo the melody of the song (out with the simple, in with the interesting). Now you have what might be my pride and joy of all of these.

Last Project!?

I regret to inform you but this is my last project, or it was until I notice that I have this class again.

Like I promised the Slayer/FPC combo is back now with 25% more repetitiveness. The whole point of this project was to use the Sitrus thing and create a new sound with it, twice. The first time was the introduction to the song and I started with a simple pitch bend, change it to hell and back, and added some effects. Same with the one at the end. For the most part I just used the same formula, get Slayer, BooBass, FPC and chopped them. Woot 88 grade for the class.



If it doesn't work go down to my first project because that plays my new one. I don't know why, it just does.

Fifth Project of DOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Due to a certain comment from my last post, you know who you are, I have vowed to do this project without slayer or FPC, the drums you hear are of my own creation. But fear not for my next project will have them back with a vengeances ... hopefully. Anyway, I had no idea what I was going to do for this project so I did what I did in project two, I winged it(and we all know how that turned out). I started out with the Sytrus and the 3x Osc. I decided on the pre-set for Sytrus because I loved how it sounded and I worked the 3x Osc to go with it. After some fighting and a little help from Mr. Rabuse I got it working. After a little bit i decided it needed a BooBass to help, since it isn't a Slayer or FPC I could use it. Then I didn't like how it all started at once so I shifted it around some, added some fade in and fade out and ta-da I have this slightly shorter but still good song for you to enjoy and comment on. I mean come-on people just two comments, that's weak.

P.S. At the time of writing I was unaware of the fact that I have three comments.
