untilAre the drum parts in your arrangements "too static," "on autopilot," or "super basic?" The Sages are here to fill in the gaps! Join @paradiddlesjosh for a live workshop on drum part writing - what it entails AND how to program! This 3-4 hour event will consist of a primer on notation (sheet music and piano roll via the General MIDI map) balancing repetition with variety (through dynamics, articulation, and the application of patterns and fills) a discussion of "feel" and the creation of "grooves" a practical demonstration of the terminology in action, writing new drum parts for a well-known VGM track Everything will be demonstrated with free tools (where possible) and some of the more prominent tools in the community. VST instruments, MIDI files, and links to further learning will be made available to EVERYONE at the end of the webinar; please see the VOD description for links!

Hello everyone, I improved at mixing, so I decided to take a go on DKC's Forest Interlude song! What are your thoughts? It uses FM8, Zebra2, some drums, and a free Taiko SFZ I found on the web. https://drive.google.com/file/d/18zhiPKGZ04UGu6Eypx4KlzNHLZcSc4OA/view?usp=sharing Elijah Wiencek -

Ready to have your face melted into oblivion via sonic decimation? The type of sounds you will hear are in the vein of the TB-303 and the Access Virus. Here is WIP 3 of Acidity! It's an acid synth fest with additional distorted synths. -
work in progress Futurists vs. Ethicists
Trevor M. Baker posted a topic in Post Your Original Music!
Here is a track I made just as a test. But we all know that a lot of emotions that we vent are from recent contemplation, anxiety, etcetera. I have been thinking a lot about the ethics of human augmentation lately. If you like Metroid, Half-Life, Deus Ex, 80s music, etc then you will likely like this. What do you think so far? -

The first piece I submitted here was made partly as an experiment with recording cheap drums with cheap gear and still coming away with a decent sound. For anyone interested in the hows and whys, I made a blog post about it: https://thebitterrooster.wordpress.com/2019/04/13/acoustic-drum-recording-on-the-cheap/

This was a practice of my beat making skills. It started out just as a drum arrangement. I just couldn't leave like that though. It needed a tune. Yet, I am still thinking of making the drums a creative commons asset. Please listen and tell me what you think. https://soundcloud.com/soulcinema-raadude/warriors-drums

Here is a remix I am spending time on, so far the sequence is coming together but I would like to open this up as a collaboration. This remix is the song shortly after the prologue in the Sega CD classic "Snatcher". I would record my bass for this but I am having some gain or pickup issues that I'm hoping to get fixed soon. I can make a shared folder with tracks set for each instrument. I'll post my latest mix and the original tracks below to give an example. Thanks for listening and your criticism is welcome!

Hello everybody, REMEMBER CITADEL, Germany's only video game music collective band, is about to release its second four track EP. As an appetizer for the full thing we (or me, this time) put together a little music video of its first track, Old Friends, from the awesome Transistor soundtrack. Feel free to check it out, comment, and also leave a like at: https://www.facebook.com/remembercitadelband/ -

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!-

Just Looking for Feedback (Song of Storms)
The White Steve posted a topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
A piece I threw together and recorded at my house, I'm just looking for feedback on the composition more than the recording standards itself, But pointers on how to record are well taken as I don't really do Mixes. It was recorded in audacity too make it that much more disgusting. But thank you to everyone who listens too this, it's probably the first video game thing I have recorded properly in a while, and yes All parts bar the drums are real instruments, recorded one over the other. -
Hi I've been suggested on KVR to come here to seek some advice and I'm very happy to discover this site and the amazing video game remixes! I had no idea such a community existed! Maybe I finally found the place to improve my music, I have a lot of songs to listen to now anyways! So I have this punk project where I want to use 8bit sound to make the drums, bass, synth.. Mostly everything except the voice and guitar. Here's my actual challenge (also posted on Reaper forum): I'm starting from scratch so for the drums I used videogame samples, noise, triangle and square waves to create some kind of drum-kit. It took a lot of EQ to obtain some sounds that sound drumesque.. I need some advice to improve my drums sound especially if you have big speakers and you can have a show feel or even if you have studio monitors which I don't have. Are the snare and kick thick enough? Here's a playlist of 3 new tracks with a different drum sound each. It would help me a lot if you tell me that you have a favorite (and least favorite) track and why. I would like to sound 8bit but I cannot sacrifice the punk punch of the drums (I can catch up with the 8bit sound using synth later). Any comment will help me improve anyway since I'm a beginner, thank you! And here are some examples of punk bands of which I enjoy the drums sound for reference: 4 get me a nots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB0-qopJyz4 lagwagon https://youtu.be/W_x5hD1cx3A?list=PL...XoWx6PSl6IOfKA dradnats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW0p9mrqY9s

Hello errbody. I was recently made aware of some nice, free alternatives to sampled drum kits like EZDrummer, Addictive Drums, etc. http://www.powerdrumkit.com http://de-de.sennheiser.com/drummica I haven't yet tried the PowerMT kit, but I have loaded up the Sennheiser kit, and am pretty happy with it, especially for being free. It only features one kit, so there's no drum swapping, but you can swap the mics used on those drums (which is kinda neat in and of itself because it gives you an idea of the "color" of some of the different mics they offer). It is loaded via the Kontakt player, which is also free. I demo'ed it here: Hope this helps someone who doesn't currently have the cash to throw down on a drum sample library!
