These tracks were completed for "Project 2 - Recording Project" in my AUD212 module. This project required me to develop and record a media asset that meets the requirements of a client (in this case, I was my own "client"). I required drum recordings, a re-amped version of a bass track, and EDM-esque clap samples. This project required the recording, editing, sampling, processing, mixing and mastering of audio. It additionally served as a way for me to study synthesis and sound design, seeing me begin to work with the wavetable synthesiser "Serum" by Xfer in audio production. I wanted to collect these sounds for usage in attempted re-creations of the Porter Robinson tracks "Divinity" and "Flicker", from his album Worlds.
The final audio bounces of my re-creation attempts have been uploaded together to a SoundCloud playlist:
Sourced MIDI for chosen tracks, made minor adjustments.
Completed the Project 2 Planning Document I was provided.
Researched artists I am influenced by for more information.
Researched basics of using Serum, and basic sound design.
Synthesised all required sounds for both tracks in Ableton
Learned to use a tape machine, recorded new drum samples.
Learned to re-amp sounds, re-amped my bass for "Flicker".
Recorded samples of myself clapping for both of my tracks.
Exported Ableton stems to Pro Tools, completed final mixes.
Mastered Pro Tools sessions, bounced as .wav, 48kHz, 24-bit.
Uploaded to SoundCloud, created a playlist and some artwork.
