Sound Design

BASS - The first thing I did was choose my synth plug in (ESM), I then reset the synthesiser to the default option, I increased the glide by a tiny amount, I chose a specific wave which was a mix between saw tooth and sign wave, I did not really know the names but from what I heard to me it sounded like a saw tooth and sign wave. I increased the cut off and I also increased some resonance which is the body of the sound. For the filter I decreased all of the INT because I wanted a sub sound, I then boosted up the decay and boosted the velocity to the max, I then increased the volume and the volume decay and the velocity for the volume and I kept the over drive distortion low. I then recorded my bass line. After I recorded something I noticed it was fading out so I went and decreased the velocity for the filter and the volume. I equed the bass and I then moved onto the next step.

DEEP BASS - For the deep bass texture I chose the ES2, I then chose the sound wave I wanted which was the 2 triangles and a square wave

MELODY (Electric Piano) - I added the melody but before I made the melody I needed a sound, I wanted a soft sound but very bright because I wanted the melody to be very high pitched. I chose the EVP88 and once I chose that I clicked on a small arrow that said open next to it, once I clicked on it it opened up and it gave me a choice of models and I chose the electra piano model. The reason I chose the electra piano is because it had a very unique sound, soft and easy to listen to. I then chose 20 voices for the piano, which is the amount of the piano's tone or the quality of the sound. After that I needed to change the model's parameters, so I kept the decay and the release in the middle, I also kept the volume of the bells and the dampers in the middle. I kept the stereo intensity at 0 because I wanted the sound to be mono. The reason why I kept the parameters at default was because I like the sound and I felt that I did not need to change it. I then had to change the  stretch, I kept the lower part at 0 and the upper part 0 as well and I brought the warmth of the stretch 90 degrees. I then kept the EQ at 0 because I did not want to change the sound I had because I was going to change the EQ with the EQ plug in on logic. I kept the EVP88 EQ flat. I then changed the drive by increasing the gain to 2.66 and then I increased the brightness of the tone by 10,000. I then had the option of adding the phaser, because I did not want the sound to phase, I then changed the tremolo by bringing up the rate to 2 HZ, after that I increased the intensity by 70 and I did not change the stereophase.
