Issues Final




For this project I had to remix the song Issues by the band Escape The Fate. I started off by cutting out the drums and using Edison to cut out the chorus guitar because i didn't like the sound of it. I then decided to write my drum part for the whole song. After that I wrote a chord progression using the Orchestral 2 preset for Sytrus. I made a bunch of little synth parts using Poizone (KBD Cut Short ToTc and KBD Play Staccato ToTc) and using the echo bottles preset on Sytrus. I also made my own bass part using Bass Punch in FL Slayer. Overall for the song I found it hard to come up with good synth parts and I also didn't enjoy the key its in but all and all I'm happy with the final outcome

Issues Progress

As of today (April 6th) Issues is pretty much done. Sadly due to computer problems I was unable to access my files and post it. Also due to the fact I will be absent on Friday Issues won't be posted until next Tuesday. The circumstances fit the title well.

Progress

I have been working on the remix for Issues by the band Escape The Fate. Due to filming previews, mcas, and lack of class time little progress has been made. So far I've used a few synths all from poizone. Writing has proven to be an issue (ha music pun) due to the fact its in B minor.

ADSR



For this project I had to use the Poizone channel and use attack delay sustain and release. For the presets I used SYN BrassAss TC and gave it a slow attack. I also used SYN The Grudge ToTc, BAS BigUnison TC, and LED Powerful Pulse ToTc. For the writing process of this song I wanted to do it in a different way then usual. Rather then give each sound a big intense part I made them simple but that flowed and sounded good together. I thought of making it like that while listening to the music we are doing in band. I also have to give credit for the intro drums to Chris Darroch for showing me how to cut the bass pedal up so it could go faster.

Poizone Project 2 Progress

New Poizone project is coming along nicely. Ive so far used 4 poizone synths and will probably use more. So far it has an interesting sound and I'm pretty excited for the final sound.

Poizone


In this project I had to use the poizone channel. I started off by editing my main Poizone sound. I changed the noise setting greatly so it'd sound more distorted. After that I wrote the drum part for the intro. I then wrote out the melody using the original Poizone sound I designed and wrote the remaining drum part along with it. After that I wrote out the bass part, this time i wanted to make the bass part a little more intense then usual. For it I used the BASS PUNCH preset in slayer. I then wanted a weird synth sound to go over everything, so I used acid 3 in sytrus. I decided that I needed more Poizone so I picked a setting to go over the intro, I chose ARP Ozrical TC. I also wanted to add accents on the 2 and 4 beats so I used the Syn Phaz TC setting in Poizone. For the sound of the song I wanted a harder sound but to have some techno mixed in.

Progress

This week I started to work on a project using poizone. So far I've used poizone for the main riff and plan on using it for more. I've written the main riff the drums and a synth part. I'm starting to work on the bass now and an ending.
