It'd be something I'm interested in.
Just would probably need to team up with someone else since live instruments are more of my flair and prowess. Haha

Bappy Hirfday bud <3
You're a star.

Maybe an album in which every track is a collab?
HOLYYYYYYY
Great idea! I'd be down for that. It could make some really awesome tracks in styles that aren't generally utilised together.
Could be cool.

If you had Sunday plans, it's time to cancel them
I may be able to make that. I think it'll be 3 am for me... but I might be able to make it.
Hopefully.
And then die in a pit of suffering during Uni.

Man, I was exactly the opposite. Sightsinging/eartraining was the easy, fun part of my composition degree (that I never got to finish because fuck federal aid. 5 years down the drain). Theory wasn't really difficult, the concepts stuck. I just found it really boring.
Man I'm the opposite.
Aural is dummmmmmm
Theeeeeery is kewllll

I have faint memories of solfege and sight singing.
NOOOOOOO
I'm doing University Aural at the moment for my Classical Composition degree and I want to kill myself. Haha
Sight singing isn't so bad... it's dictation that sucks. Especially 2 parts or more. :/
Also, for those of you who are insistent on key changes here's a tip or three to help y'all out.
1st Key: A Maj
2nd Key: B Min
There are several ways to approach this. Sometimes you can combine parts of these to make a stronger modulation.
FIRST MODULATION THING YEAH
Q: What is your new key? A: B Minor
Q: What is the dominant/dominant 7th of your new key? A: F# Maj(7)
Q: What is the Secondary Dominant (7th) for this motion (A secondary dominant is just a dominant of a chord in the key)? A: C# Maj(7)
After you've deciphered that information you can literally use these to change your tonality/modulate.
ie. A -> C# -> F# -> B
You have to be careful about how you handle this though, and you may wish for a PAC (perfect authentic cadence) at the end by making the melody go from scale degree 2 (or 7) to 1.
SECOND MODULATION WHATSIT YEAH
Q: What is your new key? A: B Minor
Q: What is the leading tone/Diminished 7th (fully or half diminished is fine) of the tonic of your new key? A#Dim (Spelled A# C# E G(#) <-if you want half diminished)
You can use this leading tone chord to move and cadence towards the new key.
ie. A -> A6(meaning first inversion(C# E A) -> A#Dim -> B Min
MODULATION TIP THE THIRD BOOYAH
See what chords you have similar in both keys. Outline them as I do below for your keys and circle similarities.
A MAJ: (I A) [ii Bm] [iii C#m] [iV D] (V E) (vi F#m) (vii* G#dim)
(I'll alter B Min to B Harmonic Minor for the raised leading tone of A#)
B MIN: (vii* A#dim) [i Bm] [ii C#m] [iII D] (iv Em) (V F#) (VI G)
Your pivot chords are your Bm, C#m and D because they occur on both keys.
They help to make modulations seem familiar before you do them (and sometimes they help you modulate as you pivot FROM the chord into the new key.
ie. A -> D -> G -> Bm (This also works because D is the dominant of G and G has two of the same notes as Bm to create a smoother transition)
Hope this wall of text helps. Music Theory is realllllly fun y'all. And that's not sarcasm.

It is yet another sad day for Nintendo. :/
Not exactly the best idea I've ever seen... let's leave it at that.
-
Hey, dude. If our track's gonna include vocals, do we need to have the lyrics written?
Can I just outline what the melody is and then write the lyrics at a later date when they flow from me better?
Just checkin'

post-grunge chiptune actually sounds pretty do-able, and it actually probably exists already
Tuberz I bet you could do it!
You're great at rock/punk/metuhlz/what-have-you as well as chiptuneWell then. I'll have to see.
Might be an interesting thing to try. How could you not mention how awesome it is that Tuberz just did an amazing imitation of Holy Wars while remaining a mashup of the two souces? I am very disappointed that you missed that.
btw, your arrangement is fucking awesome for that, Tuberz.
<3 <3 <3
I love you bud. You know just how to make me feel good and giddy inside. :3

Early or Late?
Not Risk-like I hope.
So Far So Good So What? my favorite album.
Rust In Peace buddy. <3
Not my favourite album, but my god it has some killer riffs.
My favourite is either Youthanasia or Countdown to Extinction.
Actually, I really like 'The System has failed' too.
Kick the chair is such a cool song.
-
This sounds excellent. I'm studying Classical Composition so I'd love to put my skills to the test in terms of arrangement.
Sign me up yo! <3

Goddamnit the week I wanted to add vocals and I have a cold. :/
Had to sing down the octave... if I get to fix it I will, but it's in a near sub state.
Hope y'all like Megadeth.

i suddenly had a vision of redoing Violent Breathing as weezer-esque 90s poppy alt-rock but unfortunately i don't have a guitar or an actual set of drums or a bass or anything to do that with
someone else do that, though, because it'd be sweet
Dude. That's rad.
If you arrange it, I'll do all the performances with my live instruments <3
You game?
-
How advanced does our initial WIP have to be?
I'd jump right into it headfirst, but I'm up for a Compo this round. :/
Yikes.
-
So goddamned excited for this week.
Frack yes.
-
This is rad... and I'd totally take a track if I wasn't swimming in obligations right now. :/
-
I'm writing 9-bit SNES metal. Soundin' sweet ;o
I think we should do a collab album in this style.
Just saying. <3
-
I know some people are not too keen on the genre being put over their vidya games tunes! As long as you're cool with vocal remixes then ok! XD
Dude. You're talking to the king of vocal ReMixes <3
Dustin's the man.

God freaking damnit. I wish I was up this week. <3
Enker's theme has been my favourite since I was yungin.
Good luck bros and bro-ettes.

I'd be interested.

Guys. If everyone has something different that they believe holds more merit when considering their vote, it adds a diverse range of top votes.
This is better than like... three teams constantly getting 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Every week in a row from everyone.
Stop trying to defend or force your views on voting to others and just work with what you believe.
It's like religion, I have no issue with what you believe in, just don't force it on me and tell me that my beliefs hold less merit.

Man. I'm pretty glad for this. It's exactly what I did with my Crush 40 Track for VROOOOM.
I love projects too much. <3
