CC1 - Week 4 - Sequencing


This week must have been the most frustrating week for tryiing to understand what we were supposed to do. When Christian explained to us what we were supposed to do, it almost seemed like the other weeks; have a no fear approach to making a 45second 'abstract' piece in Pro Tools, using sequencing to get the effect you wanted. Not only every time that i tried to find a Mac they were all T.A.K.E.N., but in one case Pro Tools wouldn't even open, and another the other time it would not read my files.Just as i was about to give up, just then, Christian came in and saved my sanity.He managed to get the New Pro Tools working. Once it was open i found a menu window called 'Audiosuite'. This was definately the funnest window i have ever come across in my life! This was because i discovered the... MOOGERFOOGER! This high tech piece of gold was the ultimate in making my soundscape awsome. If you turn up all the dials on it, something i decided to randomly do, it turns your noise into what sounds like thunder, or an explosiion. It was so good! When listening to it, you will notice one near the middle of the piece, and the other (my personal favourite), at the very end.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that i amost died trying to get this excercise done before Christian helped me, i was unable to load any pictures inot the site. Very regrettable. :(
Throughout the soundscape i also used other applications such as Wave mechanics, Funk Logic, AmpliTube,mixer, JOE MEEK Compressor, Flanger and the Cosmonaut voice. These helped to change my original paper sounds into my soundscpe today.
Overall, a very frustrating, but satisfying excercise.
