Project 6: Envelopes in Sytrus

Finally, project 6 is now finished. This project took me the longest to do out of all of them that are posted so far. For me, i usually have a hard time trying to figure out sytrus haha. For the loop, i had to use 8 different pattern blocks. 6 of them are made with the sytrus channel and the other 2 are made with the FPC channel to make the drum patterns. To start off, i used a bass line i made using the sytrus, then i have my first (main) drum pattern (FPC) kick in and after that i have my main melody kick in, which was also made with sytrus. I also used sytrus to make miscellaneous sounds/patterns in the backround so the listener wouldn't get bored or tired or listening to the same thing over and over again. Next, i have a little fill i made with the FPC drums and sytrus which this leads to the main piece of the song. At the end, i have the main piece play again, but it fades out and sounds nice (: Let me know what you think! Enjoy.

Project 5: Noise Envelope and Sytrus

this is my newest and favorite loop i've made. it kinda sounds like some sort of cute little video game haha but it gets a little more interesting. i used 4 different sytrus', a kick drum, claps, snares, and high hats. it may sounds like more than that, but its not haha. with the sytrus, i made a bass pattern, and the main melody, and two miscellaneous pieces. i first start off with the noise that isnt very appealing with the simple high hat hitting every 4th beat. then the main melody and follows along, also the two miscellaneous parts come into play to spice it up a little. then i repeated the noise and continues the same pattern, but with a different drum beat and i added a bass line, which i made with the sytrus. also took out the little sounds that were in the first half of the pattern and used reverb on a lot of stuff in the pattern such as the claps and snare drum. well let me know what u think (: enjoyyy

Project 4: Filters

For this project, i only used three different sound loops, the slayer, fat cheese, and FPC. i put both the slayer and the FPC through the fruity mixer, which is where it gets complicated with the filtering and stuff. also i used automation clips on the slayer and FPC. The slayer is the main voice in this project and hold the main melody. to back. At first i let the slayer play by itself for the first four counts, but then the FPC (drums) fade into the slayer. in the middle of the loop is where the fat cheese comes in and backs up the slayer at an octave or so higher to contrast the sounds and make it more interesting. that plays only for a couple 4 counts. at the end, the FPC fades out and then the slayer is played by itself and eventually fades out also. let me know what you think, enjoy (:

Project 3: Automation

this is my automation clip. I used three different channels, the SimSynth, FPC, and another Simsynth (with a different sound called Piano Chorus). in the first pattern i used the drums to keep a steady beat, but then i made a melody with the simsynth in which what makes the main chunk of the loop(which is where i use the automation, which is why you hear the pitch kind of change). for the fill, i used the same synth and drums, but i added the second synth (piano chorus) to make it sounds different and to add a bit of a suprise i guess. at the end, i made an automation clip on the master volume on all of the channels and made them fade out. let me know what you think! (:

Project 2: Chop and Transpose

For this project, I kinda wanted it to sound angry haha so i for the into, i used a the Sweeper pad with a little kick drum to it and snook in a simple drum beat the plays throughout the whole song. Then for the main body of the beat, I used the slayer, boobass, and the simple drum beat from the beginning. For the slayer (which is where i used the chop and transpose) i used the same patteren, but in different pitches except for the very end of the slayer loop. For the bass, i made a groovy little beat to go along with it. For a fill, i used a little drum loop to make this interesting. Then finally for the outro, i used the same exact thing i used for the intro, which sounds really cool. Let me know what you think! (: Enjoy

Project 1: Drum Loop

In this loop, i used a series of high hats, claps, snares, toms, tambourines, and kick drums. The original default kick sound was too dull, so i used a channel called Layer to mush two other kicks into the default one to help it sounds better. I used 3 different toms for my fill to take place of the kick drums to make it a little more interesting. In the last pattern, instead of using a constant high hat like i did in the first one, i changed it up and replaced it with the tambourines. This is my first time on FL Studios in about two years, so bear with me here haha. (: I hope you enjoy my loop and let me know what you think!
