Week 6 - Sound Recording Reflection + Bassline Comparison
The sound recordings I've made in the past for vocal recordings have been pretty reasonable in terms of actual audio quality; the issues I've faced mostly come with recording guitars through VST amp plugins. My audio interface, as well as the plugins themselves, have plagued the recordings with some computer interference sounds. I've figured out ways to mitigate this. One of them is to face away from my computer monitors (screens) whilst recording the DI for guitar; this is a practice I will definitely consider for my track this semester.
Bassline Comparison
Two dubstep tracks I heard a long time ago in my teens. Having gotten back into electronic music more recently, I thought it would be good to reflect on the sound design and rhythmic characteristics of these two. The bass rhythms from Funk4mation are a little more straightforward but have an interesting sound design. In contrast, Sektor bass is more neutral-sounding but plays with the triplets and is offbeat in the rhythm. Combining the best aspects of both would be a wonderful addition to my track.
