Pigs by Old Glory

Loop With My Sounds Remix

2008-11-25T09:34:00.000-08:00

So, I did a little remix because i am dumb and didn't completely understand the directions, so, my bad to all of you. Anyways, with both of the sounds that I made, I started out with the default sound in the Sytrus channel. For the bass-ish sound, I completely altered it, giving it some distortion and lots of bass. I used a few effects like a flanger and a blood overdrive, along with the bass and distortion. I also changed the shape and the skew and tension a little bit. On teh main sound you hear, I completely altered everything, including, skew, tension, sine shaper, shape, and the pre-filter until I got it to a sound I liked. I hope you like it as well. Oh, I just remembered, I got a drummer and a name for our band. Our band name is Old Glory as far as I know, and we'll have an anarchist flag as our logo, most likely. Here's our line-up:

Tim Bak: Throat
Luc Alpert: Bass, Backup Throat
Mike Adriance: Guitar, Backup Throat
Dave Solak: Drums

We'll probably get some stuff to sell, like T-shirts and stuff, so I'll keep you updated here. I wrote 4 songs, so we'll probably be making a little promo CD with those 4 songs, and maybe a couple of cover songs. Anyways, I hope you like my new post.

Loop With My Sounds

2008-11-18T08:01:00.000-08:00

Alrighty then!!! I have some good news, and I have some even better news! First, let's start off with me new loop, eh? So, I used a lot of different sounds. I made two saw-waves on the Sytrus application. One is a little growly-type thing, and the other is like a little synth. This is easily my favorite project I've made. On the growl one, I mad a tiny delay, and I sped it up a little bit. i also threw a little flanger in there, so I hope you can hear it. With the synth, I also a added a tiny flanger in there, so you should be able to hear the two meld together pretty nicely. Alright- the even better news- Me and my my friends Mike Adriance and Tim Bak are starting a band. We are all into punk, like Bad Brains, The Misfits, and Billy Idol, along with the original singer from The Misfits, Glenn Danzig, stuff like that. We need a drummer, so let us know if you know one. My ScreenName in LucAlpert on AIM, and my e-mail address is alpert35@gmail.com, so drop me a line if you know of a drummer. I hope you like me new song, mate!

Arpeggiator Loop

2008-10-24T10:02:00.000-07:00

Alright, so this is my newest loops, and one of my favorites. My inspiration was a little riff I came up with while playing my bass. I just thought "I can;t wait to put that in FL Studio with the Arpeggiator. I tried using a few different types of chords, but this one I liked the best. You can still hear what the original riff would sound like, but you can hear the arpeggiator loud and clear. I also used the drums because it has a nice, quick sound and beat to them, and that is exactly what I was I was looking for. I'm really happy with this loop, and I hope you are, too. Make Music!!!

BTW

2008-10-16T08:20:00.000-07:00

I'll be gettin' some of my artwork up on my site, but for now, I'll show you my favorite artists. They are NeckFace and Michael Sieben.

Extra Credit Project

2008-10-16T08:16:00.000-07:00

Hey, this is a little extra credit I did because I was ahead in class. It is a mix of a lot of different synths and whatnot, and I just kept puttin' it in and editing it until it sounded good, so hope you like it. Make Music!!!

Automation Loop

2008-10-14T10:05:00.000-07:00

Alright, so what I did was I took the clap, the kick, the snare, and the hat, and I made a really basic sound, but I made an automation clip out of the kick and the clap. With the kick, I altered the pitch and the volume, and with the hat, I altered the pan. it is a little difficult to hear, but if you listen closely, you can hear it. I hope you like it. Oh, BTW, reply to my poll, please. I don't know if you noticed it or not, it is asking which of my music posts you like best. Make Music!!!

My YouTube Video

Here is a video of me and my friends Tim Bak and Barret Bradley skating in Pittsfield. Hope you like it.

Effects Loop

2008-10-02T10:20:00.001-07:00

All right. What i did was I used a bunch of different effects, like a flanger, and bass boost, and a squeeze, along with a couple of other things. I used the kick and the hat to add some beats and percussion. the main instrument in there is a tuba, if you were wondering. I really didn't have an inspiration, but I play the bass, and I just jam by myself, and I came up with this a couple weeks ago and said "That'd be sweet in Music Tech." So, here it is. Make Music!!!

By the way, if you ever want to contact me, my e-mail address is badbrains08@gmail.com. I would like other people to chat with, because livin' in the sticks of Peru, Massachusetts sure is boring. Thanks. Make Music!!!

Bluegrass Loop

2008-09-29T13:48:00.000-07:00

OK, yes, it's true...I listen to Bluegrass. Call me hick all you want, but to tell you the truth, I love it. So, I used few different hats, a tuba, and, most importantly, a banjo. Ahhh, the banjo. I love it. Anyways, I got my inspiration from a guy named Earl Scruggs. His fast-pickin' on a banjo with a bass line from the song "Handlebars" by Flobots. They are a rap-rock band ish...type thing. Yup. Thats it. Project Numero 2.

Drum Loop

2008-09-16T08:04:00.001-07:00

What I did was I just made a pretty basic fill, with a snare, a hat, and a kick drum. I got the beats from "Daft Punk", mainly the song "Harder,Better,Faster,Stronger." They are a really good techno group. Check them out. I also got some of the beats from the band "The Sounds", the songs being "Hit Me", along with "Rock 'N Roll." They are a rock band and their drummer has really basic beats, but it goes really good with the music they play. For the others, I used a couple of different hats, and at the end, that sweet hat, and NOICE!!! my first drum loop.
