While we're at it, let's look at this song.
I'd just like to point out that daft punk is one of the worst possible examples of sample manipulation I can think of, right up there with Kayne and co...
They are great examples, though, of the kind of thing you feel guilty about: basically just pitch shifting someone's track wholesale and adding a drum beat.
If you are going to use samples as an "instrument" which is the type of creative endeavor I think you are referring to, do something like this:
Also be careful of legal repercussions... sampling is definitely a grey area.
also, I write music on an original daw with a custom rig which uses a ternary system of my own invention.
I also use hardware synths made entirely of scraps of old IBM machines and Russian vacuum tubes for which I programmed the communication interface in an entirely new assembly language that I wrote down on a napkin while eating chicken waffles at Grandy's.
it sounds so analog
-
Well I have 3GB, and all I really need are a couple of string articulations, brass, and maybe 1 or two woodwinds, xD. I don't compose full-classical, I compose orchestrated heavy metal.
for epic tutti orchestral sounds like what you describe, project sam Symphobia 1/2 are exactly what you are looking for minus the size requirements.
you can't do something convincing like that with most orchestral libraries, sorry, not even east west sounds good at that type of thing
basically orchestral mockups suck cause you either do them very well or they sound terrible. there's really no in-between
-
good grief everyone wants some - guess I should go warm the equipment up...
but seriously, pretty sure there's plenty of musically talented people around here... don't discount anybody as final boss status!

I was sad I missed out on this last year... but not this time!

how long does this competition usually take to run its course?

haha you guys make it all worth it... thanks for the comments, and yes, there will definitely be more tracks to come!

Hey everybody,
I've just released a new single for pay what you want, cause you guys are awesome.
(and most of my other new tracks are bogged down in the label process.)
Cityscapes and Tesla Coils:
http://soundcloud.com/prototyperaptor/cityscapes-and-tesla-coils-1
http://prototyperaptor.bandcamp.com/album/cityscapes-and-tesla-coils-single
It's an orchestral-electro track, sorta like skrillex meets movie scores.
Feel free to leave comments, bash it, profess love...
Or just listen

I play trombone.
all the stereotypes about low brass are true.
especially the one about pizza and beer
-
wapwapwapwapwapwaaaaaaaaaaaapwapwapwapwapwapwa
HEY
LISTEN
bshoohouushsohsrereruuuuuuuuuuopsdhrerereoireeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuuu
not even kidding, this is how the track was originally conceived
...I often wonder if that's true of most dubstep...
-
gotta get down
To the bus stop?
-
This is a great idea, but there's something wrong with the glitching during the drop - it doesn't flow as well as the build.
and the sidechaining is a bit excessive... but that's coming from me, so definitely hypocritical I know
keep working, this is a pretty original mix of the most overdone source ever
-
Sorry to say the most convincing Trumpet and Trombone are not free but really fantastic.

this, or http://www.warpivmusic.com/AboutUs.html
or get a real player and fix all of your problems....
it's not easy to do brass unfortunately
-
Goddammit who cares anymore?
QFT.
can we just let sonic die already?
-
when I heard the deadmau5 loop I lol'd pretty hard
this would have been great on the front page
(at least for a day)

Noisia is one of my favorite bands, period.
They've done all sorts of electronic genres, from DnB to house - but their DnB is extra ridiculous:
Also, Dieselboy is a standard, very "generic-dnb" sound. You've probably heard his stuff as background music:
as far as dnb remixes go, there is mine... but it's nowhere near Noisia/Pendulum levels.
zircon is awesome too, check out all of his mixes, most of them have some of that crystal method breakbeat/dnb style
-
I hated every minute of this pile of crap.
-
who is this Ben Briggs guy? sum noob?
moar chthonic plz
but seriously this is a great ep, and you should feel some sort of great sadness if you download it with no love for the crazy dude who made it.
no really, he's pretty out there.
-
. Seriously, Cortex's theme is like, the most awesome theme in the series.
dude. DUDE. this is awesome
...I'm on it
-
Fucking LOVE Ke$ha.

FWIW, I'm fairly certain the waves multiband is one of the most (over)used fx in pop productions... especially in stuff like kesha and company, where the unnatural sound it brings is wanted.
Does wonders on drums too, especially if you only have overheads to work with...
Basically, treat it like a ridiculously overpowered dynamic eq, and sometimes it does wonders.
-
This is so much better. (IMO!)
The vocals are very clear now, and the reese is a nice nod though not what quite I was expecting haha
Congrats, can't wait to see this on the front page!
-
Try using an amp with a cabinet sim rather than just straight distortion - in my experience the cabinet "dulls" the sound in all the right ways
-
Hey everybody,
Finally got around to mastering this and submitting it. We'll see what the judges say!
For those of you who can't wait for a verdict, here's the track in downloadable form:
http://prototyperaptor.bandcamp.com/track/sonic-adventure-open-your-heart-remix
This was fun, and now I have a vocalist who wants to do another track like this one - so do you guys have any suggestions for sources??
-
I'm late to the party on this mix, but I have to say, epic orchestral introduction + beatz is right up my alley...
And this doesn't disappoint. Very good stuff!
I'm going to nitpick, though, rather than just say how awesome it is, which is true.
-The main snare sample is off. It's either too long or pitched too high, or some combination of the two. An easy fix, cause it's the perfect sound other than that.
-The kick also lacks some thump, try adding a slight hump at 90hz.
-Where's the bass? I hear the subbass, but I keep waiting for a really nasty reese at some point
Also, the vocals don't sound right because they are sitting very hot in the mix and have lots of mid-lo frequencies - try dipping 400hz and see if that doesn't clear it up.
-
that's not exactly true, but they are prized for sentimental value. and lamps.
hum, I coulda sworn the old buffets were one of the more prized clarinets, and not just for decorative purposes.
if it's the old equivalent to the R13 I'm pretty sure it's worth something...
or not
let's play a little game!

wish I had slate... sounds fantastic!
here's my quick pass, using all provided samples, including drums.
