[ Computer Generated Sound: Final#Project ]

#1 Discription

In this final project, I created a simple looper with sound effects added. The user begins by recording a first recording that will be used to determine the length of the rest of recorded layers. After the first layer has been recorded, a shred with an infinite loop of the bottom layer will be added to the Virtual Machine. Then, the user can use the 'd', 'r', 'p', or 'c' keys which denotes 'delay', 'reverb', 'pitch shift', and 'chorus' effect to select another layer to record with the effect they choose. After recorded, all the layers will be looping with the effects. Users can use any sound source as the instrument to record (ex. guitar, voice, bass, whistle). It is also recommended to wear a headphone while recording to avoid feedback. I used this looper to record a song by Eric Clapton: wonderful tonight, with the delay and reverb effect loop in my looper. I also used the looper to record the song from oasis: supersonic. I used the pitchshift and chorus effect in this song and also use my pick to scratch the string to produce a plane flying sound with the chorus effect.
