Chord Project

This is my final update for the chord project. I didn't had to much from my last update just a little bit. What I had in my mind before didn't sound so great when I actually put it in the song so I kept it out. I wanted to put a triangle, a suspended cymbal, and maybe a few different shaker parts but like I said, wasn't a big fan of them. I did carry the string bopbass on for the ending which I personal love the sound when it is blended with the lead part. The two together is just great. When the second pattern of the bopbass comes up at 52secs, I decide to have that just in the way back of the other sounds. The point of it is just so you barely hear it but it is still there. Then when that pattern repeats it comes back at normal volume. That is pretty much it. I hope you enjoy.

Update-Not finished yet

This is my updated version of the chord project. It has the same idea as the last one I posted but much different and a lot better. It is pretty much a new song since I started with nothing. I did the Ionian scale. All of the notes are over a C. I keep the same pattern threw the whole song and just build around it for now. My finish version is going to have a longer version of the main pattern to switch up the feel of the song. I like the soft, smooth feeling. I'm going to give it an faster past to it though near the end. I used a kick drum, string bass, and a shake to build around the main pattern. That is about it for now. My next update will be my finished version.

Chords

This project is the chord progressions. Its a pretty fun project and I think it will help me write better songs in the future. Mainly with the flow of the song. I think just a few chords dragged out can really help that way. I'm not finish with this song yet, still writing parts for the song and working on what I have so far. Wrote two different parts with the poizon. I used pre made sounds for each of them. Then my next step was to write the patterns. I started with one chord then looked at my choice to what would come next smoothly. What would sound the best. I did that after every chord. The very first pattern that played in the beginning is the only pattern with a FX that I put on it. That is pretty much it. For the back around I just have a kick drum and high hat. I just want to keep it simple and nothing to complex for the whole song.

Starting my modal chord progressions project today

ADSR project

This project wasn't to hard to do and it was fun for the most part. I had writers block when I first started, but I was able to write something. The piece isn't to long at all. It also has two parts to it. The first part sounds something from lord of the rings and the second part sounds something you would hear today. I made a poizone and change the ADSR around to my liking. The attack comes up pretty fast and it release pretty fast also. (Full information of ADSR is the post before this one) All the parts in the song is written by me, no riff machine, no chop. This is a first for the most part for me to do. I wasn't to good writing parts for the songs before but I like this one for sure. I didn't do a crazy kick drum or a drum. Kept it nice and simple. I add a triangle too and kept that simple as well. For the two parts, what I did to make them sound different was to shorten the notes and change the pitch. Gives off a whole new feeling/sound of it.

Second poizone update

For my second Poizone, I'm using the ADSR. I have the attack and Decay pretty high to the top.I want a fast attack so the sound isn't tacking to long to rise up. The attack is around 1300ms and the Decay is around 1900ms. Same thing kinda for Sustain like attack. I did not want the sound take to long to rise and I did not want it take to long to go away. Sustain is not that high. Its at 12%. The Release is at 1200ms. I didn't want to have the release to high so it wouldn't hold out the sound for to long.

The poizone project was fun since I could make my own sound and it wasn't that hard. Honestly I never did like working with the styurs which is kind of like the poizone just, the poizone is better I think. Now I do like this and I know how to use it kind of well. I made one main poizone sound and two other one that is similar. I turn the unison up to 4 to change the sound from a beep sound to an more of a chorus affect. In oscillator A I turn the pulse on and turn the PW up to 75%. That will give it a more full rounded sound to it. Oscillator B I turn pulse on put the PW up to 62%. The right amount to keep it at a more of a bass sound that isn't to deep or to high. I put the LP filter on and have the cutoff at 62%, Reso 0%, KBDTRK 0%, Veltrk 70%. The LP filter give it a more thick sound and more of a bass sound to the whole sound over all. That is it for that poizone. My other one is exactly the same but I put Trance Gate pattern in affect to it. There is a third one too, exactly the same as the other two but a different Trance Gate pattern. I like messing around with the Trance Gate so I will be using that for a different project in the future.
