This piece was made during late hours. My creativity and randomness seemed to be boosted during these times. I wanted to think a little outside the box. I used a coin to choose which sound went where. 

Sounds used: soundwalk, typing, keys, zipper, crunching chips, walking on leaves, and breathing.

Each sound has various effects, making it almost unrecognizable.

Justin-Etude 1

For this Etude, I decided to do the Cut-Speech project. After listening to it, I'm satisfied with the outcome. It almost sounds like a Cut-Speech mixed with creating the sound scene. I am a huge fan of The Walking Dead and decided to use multiple scenes with the villain Negan talking to create this piece. I was trying to make him sound like a humorous good guy. I also added a little ambience to make it flow a little better such as nature sounds, which I downloaded from Freesound.org. 
I used effects such as reverb and pitch=shift to make it blend more together and change the scenery, as well as lowering the volume of the nature sounds.

Original clips: (Warning!: Some Explicit Speech. I didn't use any, however, and couldn't find better quality audio.)

Justin Etude #2

This was a project for University. I literally just rearranged certain verses. My First time dabbling with Pro Tools. Enjoy :3

Polyphia 40oz Cut&Paste

My first attempt at remixing a song! Enjoy  :)

Polyphia - 40oz Remix

For this Etude, I messed around with oscillators and synthesizers. I used different types of waves to produce a sound that changes back and forth. My idea was to create something that sounded very eerie. I used Logic Pro with Absynth5, Alchemy, and ES2

ETUDE 3 Justin

Here's another remix of 40oz! I'm slowly but surely learning how to mix! I think it turned out okay for a beginner :)

Polyphia - 40oz Remix v.2

I decided to mess around with layering and multiple tracks for this one. It's a tricky task creating such sounds.

Etude4- Justin

For this track, I used three separate instrument tracks in Logic Pro X. One is a standard grand piano with strings. For the second and third tracks, I copy and pasted the first track into them to layer the sound. Then I adjusted the synthesizers for the second and third. For the second, I used alchemy and adjusted which waves are being simulated. I also added a small arpeggiation to this track which adds to the scare factor. I used Volume automation to make the track come in and out. For the third track, I used absynth 5, with two oscillators that both have two different types of waves. I have two stairstep waves, a sine wave, and a string wave. Then i adjusted the ADSR of the two oscillators to have a longer attack. The first has a really low release while the second has a longer one. Then for this track, I used Volume and panning automation. The volume doesn't change much, but it pans from left to right throughout the track.

This is my finalized midterm project. It's about two psychopaths whom sort of argue. I used clips of Negan from The Walking Dead, Heath Ledger's Joker, and Frank From the movie Donnie Darko.
