Creating Electronic MusicCHLOE AND ELLIE

26th January 2015

Aim

Our aim was to create an original piece of music that would be ‘copyright-free’.

We were to add at least three virtual instrument tracks and use effects such as panning, EQ and distortion.

Virtual Tracks

We made a drum track using un-tuned percussion instruments

We also used a guitar for the backing chords

For the main melody we used four chords and played the same notes up an octave

Effects on Guitar Chords

For the Guitar chords we used effects such as EQ, Reverb and Distortion.

We used the EQ to remove the really high and bass notes.

We used the Reverb to add a bit more depth to the sound and the Distortion was used for the same reason.

Effects on Drums

We used a couple of effects on the drum track.

We used EQ to remove the really high irritating noises.

We also used reverb to make the track sound more realistic.

Effects on Main Melody

On the melody track we used many effects such as EQ, Chorus and Reverb.

We used EQ to remove the really high notes and the bass notes that we didn’t want.

We used Chorus to make it sound as if there was more than one person playing.

We used Reverb to create an echo sound that will make it sound realistic.

Effects on Melody

On the Melody we used EQ and Reverb.

We used EQ to remove the edge of the high notes and the bass notes.

We used Reverb to create a more realistic sound.

Could have done better?

We could have made it longer.

Our timings are a little off at some points.

What we did well?

Our piece is completely original and we didn’t use any of the loops on Mixcraft.

Although short, what we have is well done and hits the success criteria.
