A track using the analog instrument to create a synth sounding bass along with a simple drum track.

Drum and Bass

Chord Progression is I, V, VI, IV

Instruments:

Analog: For analog I used the square sync lead and changed the shape of the first oscillator to sine. I also disabled the LFO's for both oscillators.

Operator: For the operator I used the synth key pack percussive keys as a preset. I then changed the levels of the A, B, C, and D and turned off the B level entirely.

Wavetable: Basic Analog Chime was used for high notes, to get a sharper sound that was a quick pluck turned down the filter envelope and decay

Assignment 4: Call And Response

A song inspired by the style of Nintendo music that I mixed and master for sound class. I used EQ's, reverb, panning, compressors, and a limiter to make the audio sound as clean as possible.

Mixed and Mastered
