2nd tutorial and 2nd synth composition

When creating a tutorial for this project, I feel like it was kinda difficult trying to explain exactly what I did to create the certain distinctive synth sound I wanted. Other than that, I feel like it was not to a point where it was very impossible based on what I'm trying to explain. On the other hand, for my project, I decided to challenge myself and create a simple background-like sound under a certain amount of time along with being able to use only one synthesizer. I decided to use a warm synth pad since it always catches my attention. Not to mention, it is not loud or buzzy. It was an advantage for me. That said, I feel like the main feature of this composition is that about every four measures, there is a new sound added. Although it is the same instrument, the sound is different since I was messing around with the synth's effects. Thus, there were different sounds that were created. You can hear how one is buzzy, dark, and light (kinda sounding like a violin).

Although the ending result was very satisfying to see the different sounds of using the same synth instrument, it does not mean I did not encounter any problems. I think one problem that was difficult was trying to find a unique sound that does not sound similar to the original. I had a situation where they sound too similar in terms of it being too soft and mellow. It felt like it was not enough for it to be noticeable. Other than that, I did not encounter any other problems. Overall, I am satisfied with the result based on what I decided to do for this project. If I did not have to worry about time or ability, the only thing I would change would be being able to use sound effects so it can help my composition be better and more interesting.
