Carol Of The Bells



For this project I had to remix the Christmas song Carol Of The Bells. I knew from the start I wanted an intense drum beat like the August Burns Red version of the same song. I started off writing the melody in. The first synth I used was the 3xOsc. I then added bass and guitar. For the two I used BASS harmonizer and DIST Reeth both from Fl Slayer. I then wanted a violin sound so I used the Pizzicato preset on Sytrus. Then for the major synth I used the dreamy preset from Sytrus too. All and all I was extremely pleased with the outcome.

Illuminator Remix



For this project I had to remix the song Illuminator by the band Underoath. I started off by deciding what parts I actually wanted to change. I decided to leave the drums vocals and synth. I then wrote a bass part. I wanted to keep the bass part simple so it wouldn't take notice away from the guitar and drums. For the bass sound I used Bass Harmonizer preset in the Fl Slayer channel. I then wanted to make a synth part that was fairly simple but catchy. I used the CHR_HEAVEN_C6 sound and then wrote in my part. I then wanted to work on getting a guitar sound in there. After a multitude of failed attempts at trying to record myself playing I used Fl Slayer. For the actual guitar part I just simply changed out a synth sound for it and liked the sound.
