Envelope and LFO

I think im pretty much done with this project (im already working on something else). Ive posted the result below, and I will discuss the details after our next class (I cant remember the settings or details). So, that will be coming ASAP.

Envelope and LFO Stuff [3-10]

I have the most of my project done now. What I have left to do is some levels mixing, and possible run parts/all of it through the Maxiumus plugin. We only have access to the demo version, and I barely know how to use it, but it makes things sound so much nicer.

The song is pretty electronic, with slightly more complex synths. I used a sample I made on the demo version at my house, and alot of filter automations to make it more bareable. Ive been trying to stay away from filter automations because it makes it much harder to notice the ADSR stuff, but i did all that last project, so I know how to use it. I used it all in this project to, but the filter makes it less noticable.

ADSR

I have to admit I didnt put the most creativity into this project. There are four poizone synths. The transitional synth is very simple. Evenly spilit between the two oscillators and some noise. LFO and envelope both play with frequencies A and B, amplifier fades in, low sustain, high release. Next comes in my "L" synth. The amplifier hasnt been changed much, but in the envelope, the attack is at about 25%, decay is at 70%, sustain is at 0% and release is about 100%. The unison is at 2 and polyphony at 4. The next synth supports the "L" synth at points. It is really simple; pulse/sync settings in the oscillators, trance gate used, and the amplifier and envelope sections are both used. Amplifier - A=65%, D=80%, S=30%, R=65%. This gives it a quick swell. Envelope has a relatively high amount, A= 40%, D/S/R= 100%. Last is my favorite this time around, and of course it is pretty simple. I used it as a pulsing bass. The trance gate does the pulsing. Amplifier; A= 45%, D/S= 100%, R= 90%. Envelope; Amount= 75%, A= 70%, D/S/R= 100%. Thats really about it this time. I did have some problems with clipping in this project, im going to look on the internet about that, I know Imageline has some really simple videos on youtube about basically everything.



Afterthough; I should have moved the very last note up a step, and added one more kick at the start of that note (making it a triplet). Im not going to waste class time to change this, export, and upload again...
