CC Week 8 "Processing Continued"

This has been a very stressful week. I had no time to myself, so I had to put this assignment aside for another day, which I did.

This weeks assignment was pretty much the same as last week's but it involved more tampering with sounds. I liked it! This week's assignment took me little over an hour and a half to complete. I am very pleased with my results.

In this assignment we were to create a sound bank from either our old quote from last week or something completely new. I was tempted to chop up sounds from "The Dark Side Of The Moon" but I thought better of it. Lawsuits are not my forte!

What we were also to do this week was put our quote through the program SOUNDHACK. This program performs a number of FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) processes. In other words, it messes with the sound.

We then put the already weird sound file through a processing program by the name of FScape. This program performs many functions such as spectral, multiband and many more. We used the multiband function, which split the sound file into multiple frequencies and saved each frequency as an individual sound file. For my sound file, i split it nine times.

Once this process was complete, we then repeated what we did last week through Reason NN19. I completed this process rather quickly and as mentioned above, I am very pleased with the results.

Below you will find a screen dump of my NN19 setup and a link to my crazy sounds.
