  1. some minor sequencing efforts have commenced. i am happy nuf about it, tho nothing to write home about. it's all flstudio stuff, except 1 massive. trying to make some music again, bear with meeee! it's super unfinished at parts i just want some listeners :D

     

  2. my new favorite sequenza! things are coming together and finally will i be encouraged to do some weird signatures. cheers to gol BOUT DAMN TIME now for some easy color mods to tweak the grey, should b easy with the vector stuff now, right...? is it already possible and i missed it??

     

    but rly i love this version and the last one, everything is better now! the old pattern blocks legacy workarounds are no longer missed. time signatures do seem a little convoluted with the piano roll still displaying 4 4 when you go like 7 8 and only the playlist reflecting that change, am i missing something? it still is an improvement.

    cheers to 20 years of FL or 14 for me. cheers to the program that made me discover you can do more than shitty midis on a computer.

    they can stop updating now...or i will.

  3. crank the amp up!!!!!! bass sounding good. tarncegate synthy kinda boring but seeing what you goin for. needs a more biting sound, maybe layer the guitar with another more abrasive sound, a second guitar with a fuzz pedal, or add another synth to kind of help people overlook the guitar. it sounds a little bland by itself. articulations? edgier sound? something anyway.

     

    sorry if i'm being anal but this sounds a little like you wanna master a specific sound so i thought i'd mention ma beef

  4. vocals kickass, sound too abrasive, not like hardcore too abrasive, just a bit too much for its own good. i'm getting a kind of qotsa freakout vibe from this, except much more OFEOIAFDPIFOADKGPE=GjweJr3i0ri3i0OKE"=dksfsidfoi. is this stoner metal?

     

    METAL BROFIST SISTER! is this shreddage? let's make a joint thread for some bananametal

    oh yeah do post the lyrics, i wanna know whats up with that insterdan, i feel soooo old loosing connectun

  5. u on crack?

     

    no seriously i'm sure you'll find a few fitting ones, but uh....why?

     

    but uh, pick anything by mazedude. not to fit the mood but to crash your wedding with some hard core video game remixes. isn't that what you really want? COEM ON

     

    but if you really want something that goes with a wedding, maybe try some of the jazz 'standards' performed by live players. i can remember some pretty danceable organic jazz remixes of super mario classics and such. band name escapes me. as i said there is stuff that's fitting somewhere in there, but good luck finding even 1 tune that makes people dance on a wedding. then again, i haven't been to many weddings, and maybe it's a nerd wedding. what do i know

     

    edit: oh, you specifically said it's not a nerd wedding. good luck then :P

  6. learn to sample. get a simple sampler. if you want bad sampling, you can do it yourself. use burps and farts for melody, make all the mistakes that constitute bad sampling, like shabby loop points, uneven pitch over the length of the sample, and so on. positive side effect, you kinda learn sampling without noticing if you just do that.

    really, it's super easy. or get a casio sk-1 and you get a shabby but musical sounding result. so, either an archaic sampler or a modern one that you can't use.

     

    or use soundfonts. cheesy outdated soundfonts are great for this too. i had a lot of wacky soundfonts, one only consisting of james brown samples...shame i deleted all that crap years ago

  7. i think what most people miss is that 'stiffness' is a property of rhythm that can be as expressive as any other. in the right place, used deliberate. that's a very neat point that DMT Produktionen brought up with the way Nintendo music tended to sound (for example).

    stiff can sound expressive, relaxed can sound expressive. both together is fun

    (this is just swing and no swing in one song, there's no humanisation in that sense of the word today, but it's pretty funky)

     

    we just got the trouble with computers that 'stiff' is so easy to do now, as in exactness. so it's not as appreciated anymore. but really, listeners don't care in the end. rhythm is free, and slavish rhythm is another part of that freedom. it's all awesome depending on context, genre, juxtaposition of different rhythmic stuff....blabla.

    btw humanization was literally the ONLY thing i heavily practiced in the last months when i was sequencing. it's worth it to really really try out everything. grid sequencing sucks. the problem with stiffness is really just that there's too much of it and it is not deliberate. learn to sequence un-stiffly, then learn to sequence stiffly and then you have the FUNK.

    STIFF

     

  8. you think the non-snes versions are gonna be anything like the snes versions? this is sam we are talking about....

    it might just be from scratch with a couple thematic connections

    unless he finds a way to directly midirip all the 'snes originals' and makes everything sound super awesome with kontakt in 5 minutes. who knows.

  9. someone should make a game around these. this is 'just' snesology now. but you needed the illusion of them ending up in a game to really come that far with your snes expertise. it's cool, innit? extreme mockup. are you gonna stay in the project? feeling frustrated with it or good to write another 20?

     

    thinking about it, why don't you just rename it part of the snesology thing? i mean it's all a brainfart until the music meets the game and is released, right?

     

    a wonderful brainfart :)

  10. use the presets. you don't have to learn FM synthesis for the alien bloops - many normal synths have enough routing and/or fx on board to do very strange sounds.

    FM is not for everyone. i chickened out long ago. once you get better at subtractive synthesis and effects use, you will realise how much advanced synthesis you need for the sounds you like.

  11. i'm confused. the thread wasn't intended 2 b about copyright, right? i think the question was, do you think it's lame/cool to use voice snippets. i would say it can sound awesome and/or cheezy. i happen to like the cheeziness in psytrance/goa, for example. overuse is a problem, but that can be funny in some genres and even a perceived quality of it.

    Wutz with the copyright topic fetish

     

    ok nvm i see it now, at the end of the post (not even clear if OP was thinking about copyright versus work ethic or whatever.)

    idk, i'd rather talk about good and shitty examples of sample use or whatever. I YAWN AT this ever recurring legal 101 topic that is almost completely irrelevant to amateurs and aspiring technotarncers. EVERYONE SAMPLES STUFF FOR FUN ANDVOICE IS FUN

  12. oh btw i remember my love for manowar now

     

    "The Gods Made Heavy Metal"

     

     

    In the beginning there was silence and darkness
    All across the earth
    Then came the wind and a hole in the sky
    Thunder and lightning came crashing down
    Hit the earth and split the ground
    Fire burned high in the sky

    From down below fire melted the stone
    The ground shook and started to pound

    The gods made heavy metal and they saw that is was good
    They said to play it louder than Hell
    We promised that we would
    When losers say it's over with you know that it's a lie
    The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die

    We are the true believers
    It's our turn to show the world
    In the fire of heavy metal we were burned
    It's more than our religion it's the only way to live
    But the enemies of metal we can't forgive

    Cause we believe in the power and the might
    And the gods who made metal are with us tonight

    The gods made heavy metal and they saw that is was good
    They said to play it louder than Hell
    We promised that we would
    When losers say it's over with you know that it's a lie
    The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die

    We believe in the power and the might
    And the gods who made metal are with us tonight

    We're here tonight for heavy metal are you ready in the hall
    They have chosen us and we have heard the call
    Gonna tear the roof off with our sound

    Crack the walls and shake the ground
    Fight tonight for metal one and all

    Cause we believe in the power and the might
    And the gods who made metal are with us tonight

    The gods made heavy metal and they saw that is was good
    They said to play it louder than Hell
    We promised that we would
    When losers say it's over with you know that it's a lie
    The gods made heavy metal and it's never gonna die

     

    i love this. anthems to the creation of metal

  13. i've always been much more concerned with stuff like a good stereo sound, because that part can't be fixed so easily on the users end.

     

    and when you fuck up the mix via overcompression, that can't be fixed so easily either.

     

    good sound on lackluster total volume, easy to fix by listener.

     

    and i don't think the loudness war is getting any worse. it's more of a radio thing, and some artists like to mimic that in their mixing. not that they'd have to.

    i notice that most (not all) of the artists i like don't terribly overdo it. as in, dynamics and loudness are balanced in a way that makes sense.

    metal bands are one notable exception. i'm mainly talking electronic producers, musician and engineer in one type of sorts.

     

    like, take pretty hardcore stuff like venetian snares. i think the mixing makes sense on most of his stuff. it's not over the top even though the music may be.

  14. i wish they gave the earlier books some love instead. those were the good ones, if u ask me.

    after a while, it became this stupid weekly fighting and talking thing. fan fodder.

     

    i know, DBZ is funny and sometimes fun, even. but the first books, let's say until tournament 3 (and that's being generous)....they're the good stuff imo.

    i'd love a re-imagining of that.

     

    ok, new story is good, but i doubt it can match the greatness of early dragonball.

     

    dragon ball really is sort of like simpsons to me, coming to think of it.

     

    i wish they rebooted the simpsons too, and cleansed them of all things family guy. but that's another thread i guess.

  15. holy fuck the riffs! yeah i'll give artillery a good listen.

     

    but seriously, good riffs. this goes right in on first time listen.

     

    so first stop artillery. i like to move slow with new music.

     

    voice seems alright, is this Dio style somehow? i only know Dio from Black Sabbath, but the vocal style sounds familiar.

     

    yeah, it's a little bit like a more screamy version of Dio.

     

    (btw, what a great album cover)

  16. as far as opening solos go, this song by slayer has a special place in my heart. it is completely ridiculous.

     

     

    slayer is an interesting topic anyway, as i would call most of their solos "musical guitar shredding", and i'm not sure how many would agree. this example is more about a bonkers song structure, lol.

     

    i'm in a guitar mood. here's more childhood stuff of mine (parents' album stack)

    this probably isn't shredding anymore, but he's a damn impressive player anyhow.

  17. Delve deep into the pretty boy pit that is glam metal

     

    HOLY FUCK i had a moment of sex confusion. 2 seconds of "ohh hot 80's girl"! embarassing :D

    i rewatched the intro, and yeah, there are a couple moments where blondie looks pretty feminine. like, actually convincingly feminine, for a couple frames.

     

    it's a fun tune, i don't mind this at all. i'm probably very tolerant about 80's, especially lighthearted stuff.

     

    the singing, idk, it's axl rose without skill, right?

     

    instrumental is cool! it sounds kind of like an impossibly good live improv to me.

     

    i also like the europe tune. solo is cool, but i like the whole tune lol. i loved final countdown as a kid too. i think i like europe. there you have it, lol. it's super nice 80's fluff.

  18. neblix, i'm bored of this. this is also about support and being nice and all, not strictly market.

     

    i will not debate your lengthy sophistry. i made my points, you made yours. yours aren't alignable with my reality, sorry. i can't help but think that you need to keep talking in order to not lose. basically the same thing i see with u and timaeus all. the. fucking. time. no thanks.

     

    agree to disagree?
