 * Learning by doing: Digital Audio (Basics Part 2)**

My remix of "Sunrise", by Shannon Hurley, has more of an indie-hip-hop feel during the intro, which is what mainly took up the 1 minute timeframe we were given for this assignment. I decided to get rid of most of the noise in the intro and leaving the electric guitar alone for the most part. Then I moved the drums forward in the song and chopped them up a bit to spice them up and add variation to the pattern before it becomes a loop later on in the song; I also added some panning and volume automation, repeating the same type of processing to the backup vocals. From there, the song seems pretty cool to me, I just faded in the acoustic guitar rather than bringing them in abruptly, and I also left the piano out of most of the song. Oh, and I almost forgot, the intro drums have a frequency bypass on the highs that make them sound so tinny, and the intro electric guitars have a low-mid frequency bypass that leaves room for the intro vocals to sit in the high mids with yet another frequency bypass applied, as well as some delay to create the echo.
