CC1 Week 6

For this task i added a few effects to the original MIDI instruments. I used the MIDI effects and a bus to Plogue to make the original recording sound much more natural.

The first effect i added was to the drums, i used a delay. This effect was actually a fluke, it made the drum beat much more dense and interesting.
I played around with the effects on the guitar (Saw wave), but it really didn't do much at all. So I bussed the MIDI signal to Plogue and added a reverb and an EQ to the sound and it created a much more natural, resonant sound.

Here is a photo of the Plogue effects chain.
