As i am writing this post, I am quite a way into my track, I have recorded my drum track but i am going to re-record it in the live room on the acoustic drum kit because i would prefer to have a live sound, i also had Mat Quinn record the guitar and bass because i cannot play either, I am planning on recording the guitars and bass again because there are a few bits out of time with the draft and i want to have it spot on with the new drums, the same goes with the bass. I also layered the guitar track to give it a bit more of a thicker sound the guitar and then i panned the original guitar track to the left and the layered track to the right. The idea to end my track was with something to transition my track into Dan Burrows track, so we delegated and decided that we could end mine with an alarm sound and start his with the same, so i went onto reason and set up a subtractor with a scream distortion unit and created an alarm sound, I then decided to add some reverb on Logic using the space designer to give it a bit of atmosphere and i used an EQ to get rid of a high pitched whine that was on the alarm.
This is a screenshot of my alarm sound.
To make my track transition into Dan Burrows track a bit better, I decided to make a Laser Gun sound which would be the trigger for the alarm going off because the listener will hear the lasers as if they were going past them with the help of some panning and after you hear an explosion which i got off a royalty free FX youtube channel.
I made the Laser Gun sounds on logic using the ESP synth, using some effects such as; Bitcrusher, Phaser, Flanger, Expander and a Space Designer reverb, this may seem like overkill with all the effects but when the effects are bypassed and you hear the ESP without them you can understand why i used all these effects because it makes the sound more "Alien".
This is a Screenshot of my Laser Gun and the effects.
