Mixx Assignment 8: Scratching



Artist: Holy Other
Title: Yr Love
Paragraph
In this assignment I used the spinning vinyl. On the right side of the waveform overview there is a rectangle of 6 small boxes. The first box which happens to have a small spinning vinyl picture on it is the box you have to click on to get the big spinning vinyl. This is where I got the assignment done. While the song was playing, I was scratching the spinning vinyl to create a scratching DJ affect in the song. This is how I completed this assignment.

Mixxx Assignment 7: Pitch Control Slider


Title: Thirteen Thirty five 
Artist: Dillon


Paragraph
During this assignment we used the slider bar. I have learned during this assignment when the slide the slider bar all the way to the bottom of the bar the song slows down & the artist's voice sounds deeper than it is. When you slide the slider bar all the way up the song speeds up & the voice of the artist now sounds squeaky. Now when you put the slider bar to the middle the music song normal. In this assignment I played with the slider bar to make the song sound like the song was slowing down & then speed the song up again. That is what I learned in this assignment.

Mixx Assignment 6: FX

\


Title of song: Thirteen thirty five
Artist: Dillon
Paragraph 
                In this assignment I played around with the big FX button. I also used the depth, delay & LFO button too. I noticed that when I turned on the FX buttons they make the music sound fuzzy & a bit unclear. When I played with the depth, delay & LFO button & made them lower or higher I didn't really see a difference in the sound of the song. To me the song sounded the same when experimenting with these button. Only FX made the song sound different. That's what I learned in this assignment.

Mixx Assignment 5: EQ

\
Describe  the decision you made while making this recording: While I was recording this I clicking the high, low & mid button. I was turning then off & on to see the difference they made it the song. 


Paragraph
                Today's assignment required me to use the high, low & mid button which I don't I have used in this class before. I have noticed that if you leave all of the buttons on at the same time the music stop playing. When you press the high button when the music is playing you'll notice that the music doesn't sound as clear as it used to. It almost sounds blocked by something. The mid button kind of does the same thing as the high button but, the mid button does it in like a mild way.

Mixx Assignment 4



Title of song: Know me
Artist:  Frank Rose
What did I do: I played around with the balance and volume. It made the song sound different with all the changes.
What you learned:  I learned that balance is similar to volume because when you lower it all the way you hear no sound.


Paragraph
     Today I did a project with Mixx experimenting with the volume & balance buttons. While doing this assignment I found out that balance & volume are more similar than I thought. When you lower balance all the way down it is like volume because it has no sound to it. By lower the volume & balance it obviously made the song sound different. This assignment was interesting.
