Automation Project

Here is my next project, the automation clip :)

This one took me quite a bit of time, and it gave me alot of problems too :/ i started with the idea in my head that this was going to be kind of an eerie song, and so i looked for a pad for the background that would reflect what i wanted to make the piece feel like. I ended up finding the "Light Waves" Pad, and i decided it could sound kinda creepy with the right melody over it. over THAT, I found the "Oberheim Bass" sound and made the melody to go over the pad. I don;t know where I've head that melody before... but I've definitely heard it -_-' So i made that loop and added it and decided it needed drums, so i looked for a drum loop that would fit the pattern of my melody, and i looked and looked and looked (it took me a very long time) and i finally found "DL_AfterKill" and i liked it, but it didn't QUITE match the melody exactly, so i though "THAT'S WHAT EFFECTS ARE FOR!!! :D" SO i started with the pad, and put an automation for the Volume, and made it spike up and down very very VERY fast, and it sounded choppy and i liked it. Next i added the volume automation to the bass part, and then did the X-Y muffley thingy (i really don't know what its called) and recorded it, and it sounded WICKED COOL. NEXT i added delay to the percussion and i think it fits in to the rest of the piece nicely :) At the very end i made the layers just fade out, because it was time to finish it, and any other elaborate thing would just take WAYY too much time -_-'

(And i just realized how much i use weird faces in my posts >_>)
