DUB

Back again with dub. I am a huge dubstep fan and am inspired by Skrillex. All of his beats, sounds, etc. are just fantastic, I haven't even come close to what he does but its a start. The sounds are aplenty with the 3xOsc square wave shape from the dubstep sounding wubs. The drums include HIP_Hat_4 for the hi hat and the  HIP_Snare_7 and the HIP_Kick_5 are layered to sound with the basic kick and default snare. There is reeverb on the snare and the setting was put into channel 2 in the mixer. The drum pattern is a steady beat for dubstep to lye upon it. its a simple x-----x---x-X-x- (tempo 120, snare: X, kick: x); The hi hat varies. The dubstep portion is a steady incline of notes followed by something that reminded me tenfold of a Skrillex type part. After is a increased pace of kick to lead up to a couple arpeggiated notes. The inclination and arpeggiation consists of the Fruity Blood Overdrive and other patterns have a filter cutoff and a speed LFO.

Sympathy For You

This is the song I made myself with the demo at my house. It took so long on the account that its three minutes and I had no save feature. There can definitely be changes made, such as the annoying guitar whine during the 'drum part.' Otherwise I'm really pleased with how this came out. This song was made out of a hardcore riff and drum part. None of this was created with a riff machine or chopper. All the sounds came from FL Slayer and the real drum kit.

Chord Progression

As usual, I have no inspiration for what I created. What I used to create what I created is the Sytrus channel sine wave that has been varied to fit the sound. I set filter one and FX to the output with a seven setting on the chorus. The parts I wrote with the sine wave-ish effect vary in chord progression with arpeggiation to fit the mold of what I thought the song should sound like. The underlying bass effect comes from the Sytrus 'phased' preset. It consists of a steady sound that doesn't change pitch during the duration of the song. The drum kit is from the legacy dance section of the browser, using kick 2, clap(not used), hat, and snare 3. I do not have much knowledge on chord progression, in fact maybe only knowledge that Mr. Rabuse has taught me. I gave it my best shot.
I realized I did more of a melody than actual chord progression. I edited my work changing the song almost completely. There is no melodies as far as I can tell and I added in a bass line to match the bass drum. I used the BASS Harmonizer from FL Slayer. The drum pattern only changed in the bass drum for interesting variation. Most of my chords start at C. 

I Made This

The inspiration could be described as nothing more than what sounded cool, nothing else. I used the FLS items for the drums with the exception of the swimming pool sound I used. To create my synth like sounds, I used the Sytrus channel to create a sine and saw way that I tweaked out. The saw wave is the higher pitched echoed one that stands out.. I edited the saw wave to my liking and added a fast echo with a chorus of 6. The sine saw I used was edited to have more than two bumps, and to have a horn kind of effect. It's the low sound in the background. The drums were composed to fit the synths with a mostly slow beat. the bass builds up for effect than uses the swimming pool for the big bang. The sine wave is constantly occurring and the saw wave is short and simple for the best echoed effect.

X + Y = Music

For this project, I had no inspiration at all. The items I used were the Poizone for the synth, FL Slayer for the guitar, and the RealDrumKit for the drum parts. I used the default setting for Poizone but I tweaked it around for a sound that I liked. I chopped up the synth part and I also copied the part and pasted to the FL Slayer so they played the same thing basically. In Fl Slayer I chose the POWER Metal preset. For the guitar part I added a fruity filter to channel found tweaked the settings like this: 3/4 cut off frequence, full resonance, 3/4 low pass, full band pass, 1/3 high pass, and full X2. The the synth part I added an X-Y Control and recorded more towards the high frequency section. 

Sweet Synth Man

For this new and unique project, I used the SimSynth synth generator and the Drum Kit 2 from the drum kit packs. I chose a riff that sounded cool in the Riff Machine and I set the drum beat I made to match the synth section. the synth part for the SVF Cut knob gradually rises, arcs downward, and finishes as it rises again. The SVF Emphasis knob starts a little higher than level, dips down, rises sharply, stays level with one little spike that rises, than gradually decreases. The Master Volume stays the same but on the fourth loop it drops to fade out. The synth pattern is looped four times. The drum beat is a 16th note ride pattern on the hi hat, a half note pattern on the snare with variation at the end, and the bass changes to add variation to the beat. The drum beat also drops out before the synth pattern finishes for cool effect. I do not listen to techno by any means so the inspiration is unknown but I must say the only techno I've ever heard is Daft Punk so it may contain trace elements of whatever they write.

Epic Guitar

This projects inspiration had none for the guitar because all I did was find something that sounded cool, however, for the drums I had a few inspirations. Pattern A starts off with a faced paced A Day To Remember/Make Me Famous kick pattern that has variations with an off beat fill inspired by Bring Me The Horizon. The guitar pattern was chopped up from the Superstition pattern in C#4. I tried to make the drum beat fit with the guitar as good as possible. For Pattern B, I transposed up an octave to make it sound more like a chorus or bridge. For drums, the hi hat is a simple 4th note ride pattern, a constant 16th note pattern for the bass, and a variation of the snare (inspired by Bring Me The Horizon). Pattern C I tried to make deeper and darker but transposing down an octave from C#4. The drumming was inspired by an A Day To Remember kick pattern and fill at the end. Finally I went back to Pattern B for an outro  that gradually fades. The guitar sounds were from FL Slayer POWER Rock from the Superstition chop and the drum sounds came from the Real Drums Kit and one crash from Drum Kit 7. This piece is rather short but please, listen and enjoy.

I Do Da Drum

The one inspiration I kind of followed was certain beats from Eminem songs. I enjoy Eminem's beats more than other rappers because i feel like they have more subsistence and I can easily find myself tapping my foot along to the beat. I tried to mimic catchy pattern with my creation because I know that people don't like boring music. Anyways, I created a fourth not pattern for the hi hat and a half note pattern for the snare. I also incorporated a crash to hit with the second snare in pattern A. Pattern B for the second beat is a little ska pattern with the bass alternating the snare with a hi hat pattern to fit in between. The bass does change to add variety to the beat. The fill that ties the two beats together contains some of the bass pattern from A section while having the ska feel from the snare and the hi hat from pattern B. My fill also has the middle tom and floor tom to make the fill, a fill.
I feel that the two patterns contrast quite well for the ska pattern differs from most I have seen. All the sounds were used from drum kit 3, 5, and 6 on the browser. Give it a listen, you might like it.
