bloopasan Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) This came from playing around with the bassline rhythm a bit and then building on it, which gave it a different feel than the rock sound we're pretty used to. So I leaned into it, pulling reference from the SNES Ninja Turtles beat em up, and it just didn't sound the way I wanted, so I left it for a while. Then when I decided to use the theme from Char's Counterattack (a Mobile Suit Gundam movie) as a means to try figuring out Lo-fi sounds, I realized the feel that I was building with this wasn't meant for a really fast BPM. So I slowed it way down and replaced the drum beat with the lo-fi beat I had from the other. Let me know what you think. Original Build: LoFiBodyFunk ---- EDIT: Okay, so I revisited this one after learning a bit more of the software and plug ins (learned a lot trying to emulate Madeon's sound for the song Freckles from Rurouni Kenshin), and thought I'd use the Cybersynth pack on this song too. Layered a little in there for the atmosphere. This leans a lot more into the funk feel, but feels a LOT less Lo Fi.

Souperion Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Lo-fi Cannonball? My horizons are expanded. It works far better than I expected, too. My first thought is that the lead synth is a bit sharp, but I am not really familiar with the genre. This thing is groovy, a bit head-bobbin', and fun to listen to. Nice work! bloopasan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloopasan Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Sorry for the delay on the response! Life got a bit chaotic for me leading up to the holidays. I appreciate your feedback on this one, and I definitely felt that too. The synths were changed around to try to avoid some of the higher pitches that happened. I had to do some more research on Lo-Fi for a project I was working on, and I wasn't entirely aware of the parameters for the genre. Bit too high on the tempo for it, among a few other key things. But I felt that any slower than 94 BPM dragged a little...and I wasn't entirely sure how to go forward with it for a bit, so it got shelved for a few weeks. I ended up adding a few things to my toolkit and workflow in the time in between when I last worked on it and now. And the resulting changes after touching on it, felt like it needed a new name.
