Well after last weeks debacle working with Reason, I figured I’d better sort this ‘key zone’ issue out properly. Yay! It seems I have sorted it out, but before we get into that there’s some sound manipulation in order on Fscape and SoundHack. I used the band splitting plugin in to split the word Behold into 8 parts and processed the full sentence in SoundHack with the phaser vocoder plugin, then split that into 4 parts with the band splitter. I went back to play around with it some more today, and chose some extreme settings. I think they were a little too extreme as the file size went balistic. I found it strange that there is no cancel option to stop a process, but since it is an early audio processor it is easy to forgive. I let it get to over a Gig before I quit the whole program down to stop it.
As I mentioned earlier I have figured out the key zones and placed my sounds together where they would be convenient to play and give the right pitches I was after. I’m still no keyboard player but I am much happier with the results this week and am getting more confident with Reason. After todays Perspectives lesson, I think it would be a good task for me to figure out how to assign different sounds to velocity changes.
Finished Soundscape.
