More Audio Effects

(Part 2 of a 2-part guest lecture by Quinn Gibson)


Parameters of the Redrum


Pitch- Effects how "Hi" or "Low" sounding a hit is


Velocity- Effects Softness & Loudness of particular hit




In addition to reverb and delay here are some other commonly used effects that will help you on your musical voyage. But first a quick vocab lesson.


Timbre: Also called shape. Two instruments can play the same note, but sound differently. Why is that? Because the timbre or shape is different.



Distortion- Alters original timbre or shape of sound.


megaton b-boy 2000


Mobb Deep - Shook Ones Part 2



Phaser- Filter & LFO ; Whirly

Bonita Applebum



Chorus/Flanger- Shimmering quality; Result of roughly same timbre & pitch being played at the same time.

Black Hole Sun


Is It A Crime



Appregiator- "Broken Chord"

Stop Running Away




Exercise 2

Create another 16-Bar Song

1) Create Redrum drum pattern using distortion and light reverb.


2) Next create a 4 bar melody using a synthesizer with a phaser or chorus effect. Duplicate tracks and Use same melody in last 8 bars of song using appregiator effect.
