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...

This is fantastic work Josh. I'm impressed by the balance of all the parts- especially in the percussion parts- and between the synths. When I read in your post that you had four PoiZone synths in this loop I was expecting a real mess, but I was very pleasantly surprised at how well the different textures complemented each other. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Rabuse. :) And compared to some electronic music artists, I feel like I barely used any synths. I have no idea how 'Unicorn Kid' came up with the song 'Dream Catcher'. That song is flawless...
