Week 5 Creative Computing - Piece using 1 Guitar Sample

I created a short electronic piece using only one guitar sample and protools. I used the Audiosuite to radically mould samples and the realtime effects to mix the project.

Guitar Sample Project MP3

Ambient Pads

• Cut single chords out from guitar sample
• Timestretched them to be longer and sound more glitchy and electronic
• Compressed, EQed, reverbed, delayed
• Applied Amplitube in some cases
  

Snare

• Cut out a short transient
• Distorted with amplitube to move towards white noise
• Faded out for a percussive sound
  
• Compressed, reverbed

Kick

• Cut out guitar transient
• Pitch shifted down an octave
• Cut lower mids extremely while boosting 80Hz and 3kHz
• Faded out
• Compressed

Whines

• Grabbed a chord
• Timestretched it
• Used EQ with very high Q value to boost fundamental frequency and one overtone by >15dB
• Applied heavy high and low pass
• Pitch shifted to create any pitched sound I needed eg intro sounds
• Bass sounds were created by pitch shifting
