FX Loop

AN: Turn the volume up to hear it (it saved very quietly)...and sorry for the "popping" noise at the beginning, I'm not sure how it got there. Tell me if I need to repost it because of volume issues.

This project was the hardest so far to do for me because I couldn't get any ideas of my own. I borrowed two lines from Footloose (the bass and guitar) and it helped a lot. (Warning: If you are going to borrow a line, be prepared to listen to it over and over and over again. I am now sick of the song.) On the drums I have reverb, which fit very well, as did the chorus on the bass. The delay (which is on 'mono echoes', by the way) seemed to go best on the tambourine because if it was on anything else, it took over. The last effect I have is flanger on all of the guitar parts. It took me two classes to find an ending and in my opinion, the one I have now is slightly cheesy, if you will. Overall, I am not 100% happy with it, but I am satisfied.

Chopping Loop

In the beginning, I didn't have the cymbal clap, but I grew to like it. I wanted this piece to have a mysterious feel to it and think I accomplished that with noise that moves "in and out" for lack of better words (if you can think of any, let me know, please). Both the bass and guitar were chopped and after many different tries, I found patterns that fit together. The cymbal at the end actually came before I decided I wanted one at the beginning. The last thing I added were the wind chime, which added to the mystery of it all. Hope you like it!
