project 3, FX


For this project I mainly used the clone tool, layer tool, and lots of FX. I started out with a chop tool using 3 octaves and then put a bass line under it. I chopped the bass line and added a rock drum beat from FPC. I then figured out a mid section of the song, I wrote a minor part for the lead gutiar and had a bass with distortion playing a line lower and i used the layer tool so that i could change it up after a bar and then go back. I used this layer tool technique for the first part of the song when it changes notes. After i got done writing, i added some FX, and i added reverb to the drums and phaser to the guitar.<

project 4, automation

On this project I had alot of fun messing around with the automation effects. I came up with a basic minor line for the simsynth and then added a straight up rock beat from FPC. I added a drum fill every so often, sometimes four to eight bars apart, and added alot of reverb to the fill. I wrote out a middle part using the chop tool and a 3octave minor part. Then i added the automation. I used the sim cut envelope and the sim emphasis envelope first and put in different points and found what sounded good. After i did that i put in a panning automation that happens every other four bars for four bars. It gives the solo/midsection a bounce back effect i really like. Also, the way the cut and emphasis envelopes are set for the first part of the solo, it sound like a steel drum which i liked.
