I used the beat from the song "Sweater Weather" by the Neighborhood and took a small clip from the intro of Avici's "Shame on Me"
The beat made up .90 seconds and the 'ok' sample took up the remaining .10 seconds. (see 1 second for the full second sample)
I applied a few effects to the beat including a fade and some tempo changes. The base hum is a stretch effect added to the 'ok' sound. 

1 - 20

One Second samples used for my 1-20 track.

The drum track is an audio clip converted drums to midi. The bass is a midi instrument recorded with a midi keyboard. The melody is also performed on a midi key board through a midi instrument. I applied a reverb to the melody and a chorus effect to the bass. I also faded the audio in and out slightly at the end of the tracks and adjusted the panning of the bass track.

Tyrell Compositon

I used a  combination of tyrell synth sounds and midi instruments. The kick, and melodic element at the beginning are both tyrell synth sounds. The chords are a cello strings instrument with a chord effect added to it. All of the tracks have slight automation added to them though not much. I left it semi-quantized, hoping to give it a performance feel.

Looping clips to create one track, I utilized EQ, Auto filter, and a few other effects on each track to help the loops change in overall sound. This track is comprised of three clips that I recorded myself. On the track with two half notes repeating, I added an EQ, Auto filter, and Cathedral reverb effects, using automation to adjust when and how each effect was applied. On the second more melodic track, I used an EQ, Auto filter, and a chorus effect, also using automation. On the last track, what I would call the bass line, I used EQ, Auto filter, and a resonators effect. With all three clips utilizing different effects that are automated to play at different times, I think the overall track has some interesting melodic elements. 

AL#4

Completing a challenge using a vocal cropping technique. I used raw stems from https://beta.indabamusic.com/opportunities. The Stems are from Jennifer Hudson's song titled It's your World. I chopped the vocal track into sections and then played them like a midi instrument
