Gonna try to have a WIP today of some stuff I wanna do on Records! @Thirdkoopa are you by chance opening up the track for instrumental solos? I'd like to take a crack at one if you're considering the opportunity!

For sure! You know I'm down. I've been swamped with a lot of projects so I'm catching up with the progress of everything going on in this thread so don't count me out!

It is indeed in the vein of a classical guitar arrangement. I agree that the performance could have been cleaner also, haha. I was enjoying my Thanksgiving brews was feeling a little loose for sure. I'll redo it and post it. I did simplify the timing of the melodic line intentionally so that it could be played more like a roll (making this more a folk-adaptation) as my roots are in Appalachian music more than they are in classical. Thanks for the feedback!

Hello friends! I recently wrote an arrangement of the Underwater theme from Super Mario Bros. and wrote the sheet music/TAB for my arrangement for educational purposes and wanted to share it here in case anyone was interested. Hope you enjoy!

Hey, is there a chance I could get a direct link to the track you are wanting harmonics on? I'll record something with my guitar and the track and my DAW just to give you an idea of what the part will sound like. Thanks!

I could give it a shot at well!

GarageBand has so many tools! It's a great songwriting app. The only reason many people don't consider it a "DAW" is because the level of EQ, mastering, automation, and "polish" isn't anything like a real DAW, but can be a formidable tool in composition and the creative process! Keep doing what makes your music sound good to you.

Thanks! There is a whole big world of professional-level audio production technology available to iOS users. I'd like to show off some tracks that I've recorded and produced strictly from my iPad to give an example of the sound quality available to those who don't have an elaborate home studio or are dedicated to their iOS device. I've heard a lot of good things about the FL app and am anxious to try it out myself. Have you experimented with Caustic at all? I highly recommend it! Here is a buddy of mine I recorded scratch vocals and guitar on one mic and produced the rest of the instruments in post. Tai Nishiuchi - O Death Here is a cover of FF6's Decisive Battle Theme. Final Fantasy VI - The Decisive Battle

Thanks! I was going for a smooth, chill vibe with real instruments. I made due with what I had available but I'd like to do more with it. I'll go for it and give it a formal submission!

Hi, I wanted to let everyone know what kind of rig I've been using and ask other members of the community for some advice/feedback regarding iOS recording and production. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'd love to hear about mobile music production from people other than YouTube. lol As far as my rig goes, I have an iPad mini, running through a Focusrite iTrack Dock (anyone familiar with Focusrite would like to know that it is a cousin of the Scarlet as it uses the same mic preamps) with lightning connector allowing me to record at 24-bit/96kHz and get some really good sounds. If there are any other users on the forums that produce with iOS tech, I'd love to hear about it! I'll list my setup (with links) as it stands below so you can get a better idea of what I'm working with. Tracking/Audio Capture: 2 Samson CL8 Studio Condenser Microphones (I use other mics too, but these are the ones that get used the most) Focusrite iTrack Dock iPad mini Harmonicdog MultiTrack DAW Final Touch Guitar Amp Simulation: BIAS Amp BIAS FX Synthesizers: SoundPrism Caustic Drum Machine/Loops: Caustic Now, at this point, I could get pretty redundant as there any many different ways to use each of the apps to get a different result, but the main thing I wanted to share was that I use the inter-app audio support of the Positive Grid apps (BIAS FX and BIAS Amp) within Multitrack DAW to get my amp sounds and often use the effects bus in the DAW for reverb/delay as they are relatively high quality. I can use BIAS for guitar and bass guitar. SoundPrism does not have inter-app audio support nor does it have AudioBus support (I don't know about SoundPrism PRO, though... haven't used it) so I am using an external device (iPhone 4, baby!) via 3.5mm to 1/4" cable into my line-in port of the iTrack Dock. This comes in handy for a lot of things like my chaos pad (SynthPad, which also does not have Audiobus support). Those of you familiar with recording via iOS will know how valuable AudioShare can be, and that is the main way I take drum loops/samples from Caustic or other DAWs (like GarageBand) and import them into MultiTrack as it is a much better DAW with good EQ, Reverb, Delay, Compression, and editing options in a very simple, user-friendly setting. Not the most complex or feature-packed DAW on iOS (not like Cubasis or Auria) but it does a good job for very cheap. Once my project is done, I bounce the track, export it to Final Touch, and start with several of their mastering presets and tweak them to my specs. I have the option to export the whole track in many different file types, bitrates, and have the option to upload directly to Dropbox, SoundCloud, email, etc... BUT Final Touch is also great for mastering tracks BEFORE they hit the DAW. Sometimes I'll send my drum track from Caustic (which may include live automation, synths, drum samples, etc...) and want it to sound a certain way before I mix in my live tracks (guitars, vocals, saxophones, hand percussion, etc...) and will give me a better idea of what to listen for and edit properly. THEN I'll bounce that, and master the whole track, making less-drastic edits to my master, and have a more coherent sounding track. This is just scratching the surface of what is available to artists via iOS and I may have said a lot of redundant things but I wanted to share what I do with others who haven't experimented with iOS music production/creation before and get some ideas from others who have been doing it longer/differently than myself. Thanks!

Oh yes, I can slap dat bass! Just depends on what level of skill you'll need, but I can get pretty funky.

Haha, awesome. I can definitely see that. I wanted to get some feedback before I got overzealous with my arrangement and beat a dead horse because I know this theme gets remixed a lot. Just wanted to see if the vibe was worth pursuing. Thanks!

Sounds great! Thank you! Just contact me when you need me to start getting to work and I'll do my best!

This is a version of the Chocobo Theme I recorded in my teaching room a few years back (tracked and mixed from my phone) and I was thinking about doing a full-blown Irish Folk/Jazz thing with it with solos and some new melodies. I thought the palette was pretty nice for what it is, though! Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in hearing.

No prob, thanks for putting it out there! I am offering performance on any of the instruments I have listed on my profile in addition to vocals, if needed! I'm not a classically trained vocalist so I wouldn't go as far as to say that is my offer to the project primarily, but can do it in a chamber/choral setting if needed. I can assist on audio support as well, but my equipment is quite modest compared to most people and I'd be best suited at recording myself and getting those tracks sounding good. I'm a multi instrumentalist by trade and can cover a lot of territory.

Hey guys, this is a really cool project idea. I'd like to offer my services as a performer to anyone needing some live instrumental recordings. I have a high quality audio rig and have mic techniques and basic eq/mastering knowledge to get a good .wav of anything that needs to be sent to remixers. I've got too many projects going on to offer a dedicated remix of any of the tracks myself or oversee the arrangement, but I'd be happy to track/record anything that I can offer!

I'm a huge fan of euphonium! Had a buddy in college that was great at it and he was the first to show me the Bob-omb Battlefield cover that got some attention back in '07/'08. Love it

Dude this is rad. I have a buddy that would LOVE this. I'll be sure to share it with him. He looks for jams to hype his melee game.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! I agree about the volume of the sax. The melody gets kind of lost amidst the other layers going on. I'll be sure to remedy that on the final version. Thanks much! I'll be sure to make a formal post/submission when it's ready!

Hi guys, this is my first time posting a remix on the forums and would love to get some feedback. This is a track I recorded last year sometime and am going to rerecord everything at some point as I had done this as just a means of getting an idea of what my pallet was going to sound like. I am going for a "room-jam/lounge" style ensemble and timbre. I want to know what listeners think of it and what they'd like to hear in an original arrangement like this. "Does it need solos?" "What kind of percussion would be interesting?" "It needs more instruments!" etc... Thanks in advance and I'll be looking forward to feedback!

Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums but would love to share some of the work I've done with my group Becoming Elephants. It's got a musical vibe similar to some video game soundtracks like Castlevania/Mega Man/TMNT but also some modern sounds that draw influence from progressive rock, metal, and jazz fusion. It's all instrumental and our first album is a concept album. Hope you enjoy it! It's available in it's entirety for streaming on Soundcloud, YouTube, and Spotify. Thanks!
