Project 4: Filters

For this project, i only used three different sound loops, the slayer, fat cheese, and FPC. i put both the slayer and the FPC through the fruity mixer, which is where it gets complicated with the filtering and stuff. also i used automation clips on the slayer and FPC. The slayer is the main voice in this project and hold the main melody. to back. At first i let the slayer play by itself for the first four counts, but then the FPC (drums) fade into the slayer. in the middle of the loop is where the fat cheese comes in and backs up the slayer at an octave or so higher to contrast the sounds and make it more interesting. that plays only for a couple 4 counts. at the end, the FPC fades out and then the slayer is played by itself and eventually fades out also. let me know what you think, enjoy (:

Project 3: Automation

this is my automation clip. I used three different channels, the SimSynth, FPC, and another Simsynth (with a different sound called Piano Chorus). in the first pattern i used the drums to keep a steady beat, but then i made a melody with the simsynth in which what makes the main chunk of the loop(which is where i use the automation, which is why you hear the pitch kind of change). for the fill, i used the same synth and drums, but i added the second synth (piano chorus) to make it sounds different and to add a bit of a suprise i guess. at the end, i made an automation clip on the master volume on all of the channels and made them fade out. let me know what you think!
