For 2 of the 3 songs I am releasing I have used sakura to create all of the melodic sounds because I really like the sound of the vst. It has a very eastern asian and oriental sound to it and I love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of the drums in this song I synthesized myself. I have a page detailing all of the drum synthesis I have researched and done, I also created myself a small sample pack of all these drums for use in songs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sub was made on serum. I make all my subs on serum at the moment however I have been thinking about using hardware subs because they just have a better sound to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final details lay in effects and automation. I really like automating EQs to fade different sounds in and out, as well as filter changes before the drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the video where I go into detail on how I produced this song<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"China Riddim Production\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AmByHfgdZZc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">yurp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, this song is amazing. It is my favourite out of every song I have produced for this project, it is really good. I have been receiving lots of positive feedback for this one and I have been guaranteed a radio play of this song on subtle FM, unfortunately a day after the due date of this project. Unfortunate that I can&#8217;t add that to my portfolio but that isn&#8217;t the end of the world as it is an incredible song regardless of whether I get to show the exam board my radio clip or not. Very proud of myself with this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"China Riddim by Albert\" width=\"840\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1826358792&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=1000&#038;maxwidth=840\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">baby panda dunk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China Riddim is the last song I have produced for this project.
