#6: Sytrus and the Riff Machine

For this project, we had to make our own sounds and implement them into our loop. After you make the sound using Sytrus, you can use the Riff Machine to make riffs automatically for you, which is very useful for the riff impaired (me). I made a techno sound and used the riff machine to make the most random loop I could, because I like random sounding things. I also used the Riff Machine on a Tom drum, to make it sound good so it could go along with the original riff. For my second riff after the main one, I made it with BooBass. I added a guy screaming because I wanted to get something that could ease the loop back to the first riff. Then I repeated the first riff, with the drums and bass with it. Enjoy.

  1. haha I really liked it. :)
    I feel a trechno (screamo/techno by Dannell and I) comin' on. xD Like Dr. Acula, and I Set My Friends On Fire, specifically. Not sure if BMTH would do this...haha.
    Anyways, that scream ACTUALLY did pull those two different parts together, for me.
    And, don't even DENY that you could hear the bass in that. :P
    By the way, what was that noise, that was randomly in it? Like, in the beginning?

  2. I'm not crazy about the bass part. A better approach would have been to include a bass part that was simple- to contrast the rather busy riff machine generated bit, and to include a steady pulse behind it in some sort of kick drum percussion groove.
