Something a little different (project 4)

Hello, this is my project 4. I based it around this idea I had where I wanted to create something with a sort of 3/4-ish time to it, but not exactly in 3/4. I don't know how to explain it seeing as that I'm not that educated when it comes to different time signatures and whatnot. Off of that one idea, I put some string sounds as to add to the "sad" feel of the song. They start off quiet and then build up, much like the drums which are all made by me with the drum loops. I tried to focus the drums around a "clap" sound and I think it fits the music well. As for the X/Y controls that we were supposed to use, I did put it on a sort of solo thing at the end. It didnt change much, but it is there. I also used the mixer to add a bit of delay/reverb to the solo piece.
Enjoy!

Ill call it... FRUITY JUICE! (project 3)

GOOD AFTERNOON! Or good morning, or good evening depending on when you check this out.This is project 3, and this time I didn't really know where I was going with this, but it turned out pretty good in my opinion. It started when I chose the channel "toxic biohazard" or something similar. I liked it, and I put an animation clip on it that was pretty crazy and involved a lot of pitch bends and such. I noticed that it sounded very empty though, so I looked over my shoulder at Josh and saw that he was using a synth-ish channel thing called "Simsynth" and decided to check it out. I enjoyed it, so I chopped it up and added some drums. Then it would have been repetitive if it had kept going forever, so I added another animation loop on the simsynth that slowly bends up the pitch, and then goes back down at the end. I even added a bass after it went back to normal, and a fading out animation loop for an ending. due to the way it sounds, I call it "FRUITY-JUICE," and I think the name is appropriate. I'm fairly proud of it, and I hope you enjoy :D
