The document discusses editing and adjusting various tracks in a song. The opening section was adjusted by lowering and adding top end to the EQ. A 15 second loop was used to judge adjustments to the kick drum track, which had its EQ raised at both ends and left normal in the middle. Distortion was added to the kick drum to improve the sound. The snare was adjusted by lowering the bottom end and raising the top end of the EQ towards the end to emphasize the final bang. Reverb was added to the snare to create a small repetition. The overall drums were lowered and main drums boosted by adjusting the EQ. A filter was added to control frequencies. The pitch was changed to C Major and some tracks were left un

1. I changed the opening section which is singled out in the song and only two different tracks are
involved so I adjusted the EQ mainly lowering it but adding top end at the end of it. I did this because
the high frequency’s coming through were to overpowering and this beginning sound needed to be
muffled as it would not sound good coming through the headphones to the listener.
After finishing the opening section I looped a part in the song which is about 15 seconds long, there
was a pattern in the song which seemed repetitive throughout the song and made my judgement on
what to do the track from this loop because the sound would have been kept the same continuously
through the song. The kick drum track in this loop the song needed to be adjusted as well, not
making the sounds lower on the EQ mainly just raising it at both ends and leaving it normal in the
middle.
The sound was still not right, so I added distortion to the Kick drum which gave it a better sound.

2. The snare needed some extra kick towards the end of the beat because it was not emphasised
enough which I changed in the EQ, lowering the bottom end and topping out the final part. This was
done because only the final bang on the snare needed to be emphasised so the frequency’s which
would be in the middle don’t need to be heard so I lowered them and made the final section of a
higher frequency to emphasise it.
I felt the snare needed to be adjusted more and needed to have a repetition but just a small one so I
added a small amount of reverb to the track.

3. The overall sound of the drums needs to be lowered and the main drum tracks boosted so I lowered
the EQ then raising it at the final part.
I added a filter was added, a filter is an effect which only allows a certain amount of frequencies
through not allowing certain sounds in below a certain frequency.
The EQ on this had to be adjusted at each ends, raising the top end at the beginning and end of the
frequency,lowering the sounds in the middle.

4. After changing the EQ I felt that the pitch needed to be shifted so changed it to C Major
These tracks did not need to be edited in my opinion so I just left them how they were.

5. The final track to be adjusted, I only changed the EQ raised one section and dipped the other.
After I had finished editing each single track I changed the volume of each individual track in the
mixer so that the sound was balanced and other sections did not over power other sections.
The original adjustments that I made to the song change the way it sounds too much which is not is
wanted to be achieved little adjustments to the EQ up or down a few points not as much as I have
which completely alters the sound so I had to go back on myself and make the EQ adjustments
smaller and no so drastic at different points in the song. The removing some of the effects which I
sued because they were not the effects needed such as pitch shift & distortion. Instead I replaced
these with a gate especially on the drums because on the overall head recording you want to cut out
the excess sounds which can be heard. This gives the overall track a more real sound.
