When creating sound effects we were exploring new territory and for that reason we had to scale back our initial goals quite a bit. Originally we wanted to create more complicated distortion effects but with the time that we had available were unable to create a realistic distortion. When looking into the sound effects we realized we knew very little about the technicalities of sound/audio. If we had done more research before hand, we probably would've been able to implement more effects. Additionally, we should've implement a digital to analog converter to make creating the sound effects much easier. |
| We also faced difficulty when scheduling time to work. This project was assigned towards the end of the semester when both teammates were in 3 heavily project based classes and so much of the work was done late at night after both teammates were tired and had a hard time focusing. | We also faced difficulty when scheduling time to work.

There are plenty more effects out there and we could have even explore created new, innovative sound effects. |
| - | Second because we already have the ability to play individual notes it would be nice to give our system to take in sheets of music and play songs with the ability to create effects on while the song is playing. | + | Second because we already have the ability to play individual notes it would be nice to give our system to take in audio input and play songs with the ability to create effects on while the song is playing. At the moment, the sound effects are only occuring on a single note because of troubles we were having with the implementation of the effects. |

| This is where the project that we picked worked to our advantage. We were able to scale features based off of the amount of time we had available to us. Though moving forward it would have been better if we had front loaded more of our work. | This is where the project that we picked worked to our advantage.
