Project 5

I'm not quite done with proect five but I've just about picked my sound I want to use from the Sytrus devise, after playing around with some knobs and dials I think I just about have what I need, now I just have to brainstorm some ideas for a song, and then pick some drums to go along with it. My sound consists of some reverb, I was gonna have a delay before the reverb but I decided against it.

project 4

In project 4 I used the fruity effect and the X L effect. I started out with a riff I thought was cool that I found using the riff machine, the intro just used single hits to the snare because I wanted a song with just a simple drum beat intro that focused on the riff. The next part had the same riff but i added some double bass because I love death metal and wanted to incorporate them i, however the double bass drums did seem to get a little lost in the mixing but i thought it still sounded cool with the wavy effect. I didn't know how to transfer to the next part so I just made a fill that I thought sounded pretty cool which lead into the slower part. During the slow part I just used kick and snare because it just felt right for the riff. The X L was used in the second part of the song and the fruity was in the first. And of course I ended with a fade out.

Project 3

In this song I used the automationclip and make the lead instrument fade in and out in a random pattern that I found to be pretty cool. I did'nt feel necesary to incorporate complicated drums, the simple drum patterns centwring around the bass drum and snare sounded good to me. I changed it up with more than one riff and drum pattern, and included a quick snare drum solo that led into the buildup. Towards the end I added random voices because I thought they sounded cool and funny and could actually work with the song, and as indicated I ended the song by fading it out.
