Producing For Wesley  I have finally received the audio file from Wesley and with a short period of time to produce, I have managed to get the vocals done with Flex Time, Flex Pitch. I started to Flex Time first by using the polyphonic setting on all of the vocals. Next, I used Flex Pitch to pitch some minor off pitch notes.  Adding the Effects (Vocoder) For his Chorus part 1 and 2, I have added a vocoder just to highlight some of the words and to make it more exciting.  First, I had to change the audio file to a midi track by watching this video , it only works if there is Flex Pitch data on the audio track. I had to go into the editors tab and select the audio, click on edit and select Create Midi Track From Flex Pitch Data . Once I got the midi track, I start to choose which words I would like it to be highlighted. After, I chose the EVOC PS (Vocoder Synth) in the instrument slot and selected the Noise Effect Voice under Warped Vocoder and added an EQ for sound des...

Producing For Wesley  This week I added in two new instruments, the classical piano from the EXS24 and the String Ensemble. I have added a few sound designs for the classical Grand with echo and reverb and later bus it to an aux track. I quantised and fixed the timing for the midi tracks. I need to check on Wesley's Ableton project for his bpm because in some parts of the song the time seems to be off. I am still waiting on Wesley for his vocal tracks, I plan to use flex time, flex pitch and later on a vocoder for sound design on his vocal tracks.  Intro Chorus & Instrumental 

Producing for Wesley 2 I am still waiting for his vocal recordings and we are planning with the vocalist for her to come in and sing. For the time being, I have discussed with Wesley about his song, and I plan to fill the Intro with a synth because of the gaps. I used a Liquid Breath Flute synth from Alchemy and am in the process of tweaking the delay, sustain and release so it does not sound busy and floaty. I also plan to find a synth for the chorus in the rhythmic section of the song and also add a flanger or some sound designs. For his vocal track I would like to add a vocoder to fit the backing tracks. 

Lyrics  (Intro) - Hums (4 Bars) (Verse 1) All these moments I’ve been holding on to I’ve never really asked me why Feeling used when you’re with someone else new I can’t help but to realise (Verse 2) Every part of me i’ve found it in you all these hurt is deep inside Love is hard I know but it’s nothing new but I think you’re the reason why  (Pre Chorus) Tellin me why why why I never let you go Tellin me why why why I never let you know (Chorus) Every time I cant sleep Every time I cant breath  I just wish you were around  Goin down too deep Seeing her just kills me  feelin like I let you down  - Hums  Never, Never, Never  - Hums  Never, Never, Never  (Verse 3) Feeling lost and no control of me  When I look into your eyes All the people say im crazy in love  but all i want is you_ ohh ohh (Pre Chorus) Tellin me why why why ( no no ) I never let you go Tellin me why why why ( why why)  I never let you know (...
