In this video, I talk about the different avenues as well as giving excerpts from other full sail graduates that have taken the freelancer route. With all this being recorded through OBS, even though it was my first time using it, and much like my process of professional music making, I found this process to be very beneficial to my creative process as I feel it would help me broaden my horizons more through freelancing.
Project IV
For this personal project, I was tasked with choosing and remixing a song from the selection of the Cambridge library, and with this I have chosen to remix 3 different versions of a song named New Day Dawning by G Bass Project. This track is a Neo-Soul project that helps me get a feel for what I could be expecting to face and create in the future when making Instrumental tracks that have a lack of vocals but, at the same time, keeping a focus on the emotional draw of various instruments, chords, and melodies. In these 3 versions, the short clips of these track are to serve as my process for creating my personal edits of my selection.
Variation 1
Variation 2
For this first versions I wanted to keep it simple with my usage of plugins by utilizing the Channel EQ, and standard Compressor to go for the original feel of the reference song.
In this second version, I took the liberty of adding subgroups to the Percussion, stringed instruments like the electric guitar and Bass, and finally the Keys, where I used a combination of more channel Eq and Compressor to give the multitrack a more unified edit for the mix. I also took the liberty of adding EQ to the Kick drum which gave it a more identifiable sound.
Variation 3
Finally for this version, I went ahead and added more plugins like Echo and Glow, to the idiophone, Bass, and electric Guitar to give those instruments a louder sound profile in the song compared to the reference tracks barley audible sound of this specific instruments, in order to give a more laid-back Island vibe to the overall track
Sound Design
Demo Reel
This sound design demo reel showcases a collection of projects that highlight my creative and technical abilities in audio production. Throughout these works, I focused on building immersive soundscapes by combining original recordings, digital synthesis, and layered effects processing. I created custom sound effects using field recordings and manipulated them with EQ, reverb, and time-based effects to match the visual elements of each scene. Additionally, I experimented with dynamic transitions, spatial audio placement, and rhythmic sound design to enhance storytelling and emotional impact. Each project reflects my growth in using industry-standard tools and techniques, as well as my ability to translate ideas into engaging audio experiences. This reel represents my evolving style and commitment to developing unique and professional-quality sound design.
