I have just posted my project 5! It is finally done and ready to go. Next class I will blog about my post and then it will be officially done and I will be ready for project 6.

The project number 5 was based on us using the vocodex which is a system in which you take a sound and change it to sound like something else. Once we picked out sounds from freesounds, we put them in the vodex and made them sound like whatever we wanted them too. My sound is of a girl singing a oo la la sound. After it was put through the vocodex, it sounds like a soothing high pitched voice. I started with the sound playing by itself and then adding a simple drum beat.The drum beat has 5 kick drum steps with a high hat on the 3rd 7th, 11th, and 13 steps. This created an upbeat drum beat to offset the slow vocoded sound. Then after the drums and voice play through twice, i added a different drum beat that is simply 9 kick drums that accidently went through the vocodex as well and turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The vocodex put a cool twist on the drums that you can really hear. After that, i started over with the original beat. However, i this time added a sound called onion string. It is really cool because it adds a little flavor to the beat. I also added some notes from the slayer. At first I only had one plain beat. But then i added another one that contrasted with it to sound really cool. After the notes play through twice, i decided to switch the beat up, so i chopped those same notes into a more "choppy" beat and I thought it sounded really nice. Once those notes play..the onion string comes in again by itself and kinda gets you ready for what comes next. After the onion string comes my original beat with the same notes as before. Then another onion string note plays and finnally, the ending note which is a lower version of the notes playing before. My project ends with the playing of an onion string and a backward cymbol. i really like it, and i hope you do too! ENJOY!!

Today I added a couple more cool sounds to my loop. I added a symbol and this sound called onion string in the middle of my loop and I think it should turn out great. The onion string came by accident when i accidently clicked on it. I am very happy with it. Although it is still developing, I think it will turn out to be a weird, cool sounding beat.

Today we continued working on our project 5. I addes some more drums with a little bit of a techno sound to liven it up. Right now my loop is almost done. At this point I am debating whether or not to add more, or simply end it..and if I want to add more..what to add. Hopefully I will have it done by next class or so.

Today we continued with our project 5 vocodex. I found a cool kind of eerie sound last class and I continued to work with that today. I added some drum beats and put some reverb on it as well. Sounds good so far, but still needs some work.
