OverCoat

holy fuck what no nearly flawlessly my ass, though it's a lot closer than triforce. If you've gotta sample NES sounds, rip them out of virt's chiptunes via modplug or some other tracker Okay I gotta stop freaking out about this shit

You have to register on Sakari to download songs. Entirely Illustrationism's fault!

It's a tracker that lets you write your own .nsf files. I should really try to make a beginner's guide to chiptunes and post it in this forum somewhere. I might work on it when that xm-to-spc tool is done.

another one settles for shitty VST that don't sound anything like the NES Ask me about FamiTracker!

best group name ever?!?!?!

There's a sample/soundfont request sticky. If you'dve read it, you would've been to www.findsounds.com by now.

I thought ACID was pretty easy to figure out, though that was a few full versions ago. Just poke around for now

A virtually created song usually consists of two elements - samples and virtual synths Samples are .wav or .aiff [or .pcm... or .xi, the list goes on] recordings of instruments or sound effects. You can actually do a lot with samples in any program, sometimes even right out of the box. FL Studio, for example, can let you do all kinds of shit to a sample - slice, granulize, distort, tremor, vibrato, pitch shifting - the list goes on. The only thing it can't do very well is edit the actual sample. I fucking HATE FL's sample editor. But that's beyond what I'm trying to tell you. Any good DAW can do this, just a lot differently [and maybe you'd prefer it that way!]. Virtual synths are a bit different. They're basically a synthesizer on your computer, as opposed to hooking up a hardware one via midi/audio input. These are all inherently editable, depending on their features. Not all music software supports VSTi, but anything GOOD does! A VSTi looks like this: You can almost reach out and touch it! You're kinda halfway there if you already have a midi controller. All these are things which, in a DAW environment, can take your existing midi and turn it into AWESOME. And after you convert your old midis, you can start working on some ORIGINAL CONTENT and abandon the .mid step entirely, unless you want to still release in .mid format. P.S. I'm not sure since both their messages are pretty cryptic, but klm09 and Splunkle seem to have missed the point of your questions. P.P.S. Once you figure out how to export .wav from your software, I recommend converting to 96-192kbps VBR .mp3! You could also go with 160 kbps CBR. I just hate it when people go over 192 though.

I usually only collect one or two VSTi at once. Then I play with them and end up making a song with them. But it seems like you got them all in one sitting, so I dunno - make a song using as many of them as you can? I have way more than 120 VSTi btw, but I know what each of them does or is as I look down the list, because I've used them all in songs.

Mahon: this is where internal midi comes in handy! Set the VSTi to midi port 0, then you'll be able to use MIDI out channels that correspond with the channels in the VSTi. Say it's Edirol Orchestral and the flute's on channel 4. Set the MIDI out to channel 4 and it'll play the flute through it if the MIDI port is on 0. If you have more than one multi-output VSTi, then just use the next ports [like 1] and just set whichever midi outs to those ports. Don't forget to label all those MIDI Out channels! Otherwise it'll get confusing.

It did. eKid was talking about converting some unused effects letter in the .xm format to be used as the echo effect when converting to .spc And it worked!

We need to call discussions like this "buffer limbo." How low can YOU go?

mda DX10 does come pretty close though

You can't make them yourself? Reverse a cymbal sample or something You can also use pretty much any synth with an LFO or pitch envelope to make sweepy noises

So we can just throw mixing out the window when using Reason? SOLD!

I learn how to play the song by ear heehee I just find the first note and then I know all the intervals, It takes me 15 minutes to half an hour maybe to know how to play the main melody, then I get sequencing.

Maybe not by you, but I can use soundfonts seriously. This isn't a joke tune, is it? But of course that's electronic music, not exactly meant for live performance [though I can totally do it!]

http://soundtempest.net/soc/mod/oc-sendtock.it loops Yeah, I got owned again, but imo it's not just some piece of shit. I'm actually kinda proud of it! Definitely one of my better mods.

ya, im spammin ur wip:other

http://soundtempest.net/soc/single/oc-Sunrise.mp3 3.7 MB I discovered a neat moog sound, made a quick pattern out of it, and thought it was pretty cool, so I built a song around it. The song isn't really anything groundbreaking, just some average everyday OverCoat. Honestly, while making this, I didn't seem to be having very much fun. Dunno why, it's not really a BAD tune [well, by my standards], but it sounds boring to me. My whole imagination is shot, so maybe I need to change my life around a bit, eh? One thing I resolved to do though, is never go too long without releasing SOMETHING, or else the writer's block gets worse!

Well downloading the demos would be a good start!!!
