Sound Class Experiment #1

This is just one of those 'get to know the program' type exercises. (Much like the entire year of Computer Graphics in college for those of you who remember it.) Once again, the almighty lameness of Macs rose up, refusing to actually open pro-tools, for about a week or so. The idea was basically to just use the inbuilt oscillator/signal generator and play around with the on board effects and such to make something half interesting.

So everyone started with a Sin Wave, at various frequencies and whatnot. Most people (myself included) took the project home to whatever they would usually use given the uselessness of our Uni's 'industry standard' software. This basically defeated the purpose of the exercise but hey, what's the point of anything, right?

Most people obliterated their sin wave with heaps of effects, and chopped it up using various free-ware programs like fruity loops and whatever, which created something that kind of sounded like Chip-Music's less successful younger brother with a speech impediment. I went for a really simple and subtle approach. I played around with effects and so forth (which I'd never bothered to look for before), but I only left one on which was a rotary filter on one track. The rest is just in the placement of the separate tracks and some basic panning.

Anyway it's nothing special, and no, the sega mega-drive controller doesn't have anything to do with it.
