Project 7

For "Some Velvet Morning" remix project, i wanted to take a very simple approach. Instead of reworking and editing the entire song, i picked certain parts from the song that seemed like the more important and memorable moments in the song to use. So i basically shortened the song, and put some new pieces together, and then added my own thing to it. My intro consists of first a FLS_Radio sound that simulates a static-y radio sound. This was followed by a increasing VOC_Launching sound. I combined these two sounds because i felt that together they created a suspense building part, that made you want to listen for what comes next. I started to add pieces from the orginal song, and i incorporated aquiet jungle sound throughout the song. I used several automation clips, and an ominous synth that i created, but again i used it quietly in the background of the song, as my purpose was to enhance the orginal song, and not rewrite everything. My ending was just an overall fade-out, with a few cymbals and repeated drum beats fading out at the end.

Project 6

For this project i started out with an "Fx_Ex"sound. The entire song was mostly based off, and inspired by a very mystic and magical sounding parts, encoorporated with my synths. I started with my saw wave synth, which i made by first editing the envelope to start with an increasing arch, which then dipped back down.I added more depth by Basically the entire song is run by the saw wave sound, used with a "PAD fantasy" sound to add a longer string sound to the short, choppier saw wave notes. I used the riff machine on one of my synths, and used this part in the beggining and end of my song. For my second synth, which was my sytrus, i created a short, kinda of video-gamesounding synth.I put it in quietly towards the middle of the song to add some contrast to the long, string sounding saw wave synth. I used a variant of my "PAD Fantasy" sound to add some contrast towards the end of the song.
The very end of my song used another "PAD" sound that mixed well with my saw wave synth, which i just faded out ot create the ending.

Project 5

For this project i had the idea of a mario/video game kind of sound. i used the riff machine to start out my piece with "frog" sound. after that, i encorporated drum and kick sounds to add more of a beat. right before my baseline started, i added the "Duaglis" sound to serve as somewhat of an introduction. I also used the opera sound unexpected and brighten up the overall sound. it gives more of a contrast, as well as an introduction for other layers.

Project 4

This project was overall controlled by the drums and bass. I transposed my boobass and FPC #2 to add depth and diversity to the middle of the piece, followed by the orginal pattern. I added an automation clip of the FPC #2 to add a range of changing volumes throughout the piece.

Project 3

For this project i used bright, echoing sounds throughout the entire piece.
I encorporated the X-Y controller to add a more "squishy" inconsistant sound to go along with a few trasposed sharp notes, which added contrast. I chose a synth bass to have make long, solid, drawn out beats to the middle of the song. Overall, this piece was inspired by the kind of music which might be played during a race or chase scene in a movie.

Project 2

With this project, i tried to start with a more simple beginning, and utilize deeper, more powerful sounds. I began with a very deep synth, and kinda built from there.This synth gave my loop a solid beat, which was evident for the entire thing. The idea developed into starting with somthing very plain and dark, and slowly addind little "spurts" of happier and brighter sounds.
The guitar i added, which had a "sunshine reggae" sound added kind of strange sound to my loop, but i felt that it was unexpected, and fit the song well.

I used the chop tool to add a more marchy drum sound to the end of the song. Overall, i found i was influenced just by listening to music that seems to be popular these days, and hearing all the unexpected sounds and beats that are in them.

Project 1

This loop came more as a last minute thing, rather than influenced by anything.
It was more of just experimenting with FL Studio. It will be easier to actually do what i want with the second project now that i kinda understand the entire program more.
i do want to experiment with different levels of bases, and ways to make it sound completely different than the typical sounds.
