This track was inspired by the feeling not walking away or taking a break from something I enjoy even though it would be better to walk away. I messed around with the volume of the notes.

Instrument: Drippy cave pluck

STS349Sponge Assignment 1 - Andre Alberto

I messed around with a different instrument and changed the velocity of the notes. I also played with the amp gain, amp volume, room settings. I changed the BMP from 130 to 144 too.

Instrument: Guitar-Dual Amped Heavy

STS349Sponge Assignment 2 - Andre Alberto

This is a redone version of assignment 3 using only an audio track. 
I recorded a short bit of audio and messed around with looping the audio and shortening the which parts of audio are looped. Then, I used a tuner to see check what note the audio was playing so that I could adjust the notes accordingly.

Also, I used a gate to reduce the background noise of my audio track a bit. Finally, I used a Master EQ and Compressor and messed around with Bass, Mid, Mid Freq, and High.

Drums: Flares kit

I messed around with the different drum kits until I found something interesting to me. I also changed the BPM until I was satisfied with the result.

Hell's Greatest Piano Solo

By Andre Alberto and Diego Arpino. Welcome to Hell

Hell's Greatest Piano Solo (Update)

This piece is my rendition of "More than Anything" from the animated series "Hazbin Hotel." I spent time listening to the original and decided to make my own version of the instrumental. I made several MIDI tracks tested various instruments until I found sounds that I liked. I also looked at sheet music for the song to get a basic idea of how the piece should be structured. 

Moreover, I used grand piano, and drippy cave pluck as my main MIDI instruments, accompanied by two different drum kits, the Flares Kit and 909 Core Kit. I drew in the notes for the MIDI tracks and drums and adjusted them according to my tastes. I then played around with the key of the piece along with adjusting the velocity of certain sections. Finally, I added EQ and Compression to the tracks, and I automated one of the grand piano tracks in the last section to have a gradual increase in volume as the piece came to a climax.
