The return of the Third Project!!!! (and all the better for it)



The first version of this didn't sound as good after a few more listens, and especially after seeing those other posts. so, i reworked it. I didn't change the background, but i did add a "pulse"- a kick drum line that sounds like a pulse. I also added a second melody bit that had a background piano. I think that this sounds kind of like the trance is in your head. which is often where a trance is, so that works for me. I think this sounds much better, and i hope that you agree.

Project the Third- Chop and Transpose



This project called for taking a long sustained note and putting it through the chopper, then transposing it for another pattern. i originally did this with a chorus sound, but it sounded really annoying in the high parts. the main body worked, though, so i looked and found a nice violin sound that fit much more smoothly. I looked around for sounds to augment it, and found a type of orion string sound that at first just sounded cool, but i ended up making a really nice melody line with it. at this point, i wanted a background sound, so i hunted down a couple of piano sounds, and eventually chose the ELEPIANO. it fit the sound, i fixed the tempo, and Voila! this is the end result, one of my favorites so far.
