Title: Cramulan Audio
Post by: Cramulus on August 18, 2011, 06:56:22 PM
Once in a blue moon, I bust out some audio software and try to make musics.

It's usually pretty bad.

I made this minute long song this morning, mainly to get reacquainted with my audio software. I'm posting it here not because it's good (it's not), but so when I actually figure out how to make music people want to listen to, I can look back at how far I've come.


Here's a very short song. It has no title. http://kiwi6.com/file/t3l03g5mzm

That was pretty good actually.  I think you've got a good knack for playing around a melody.

:)
Also posting to say thanks for the Kiwi6.  I didn't know where to host some of my audio rants that I don't necessarily want to host on my site, but want to share here.

I liked it.  It was simple, not unharmonious, and sounded pretty.

My first thought was 'cute'. It's a nice little upbeat tune. I liked it and am interested in following your music's evolution.

THIS MUSIC JUST CHANGED MY LIFE!!!

it's pretty good, lightyears better than whenever I try to come up with a melody.

something about it kind of reminds me of kraftwerk's really old stuff.

There's something not quite right about the drum-line. Its sound is simple, but it's rhythm is somehow too elaborate. I'd err on the side of simplicity. Or maybe it's just the relative volume of all the drum samples, I don't know.

(this was re: the first one, btw)

THE SECOND ONE IS SO CRAZY IT CHANGED MY LIFE RIGHT BACK--GOOD JOB

I'm pretty sure now the thing with the drums is that you need to adjust the relative volumes. Or maybe try a different drum synth machine :)

Additionally, I'm fairly sure that you need to download some nature documentary and sample the sounds of screeching monkeys to accompany this track. Either that or classic cartoon sound effects. Or both. Or maybe do sounds of monkeys and typewriters :)

no they're not, but thank you.  :lol:


I made this track as a combat soundtrack for a LARP
http://kiwi6.com/file/40x2294t2m

I'm running an encounter where all the enemies have an attack they do at the same time, cued by the soundtrack. So if you pay attention to the soundtrack cue, you can outsmart / out-maneuver them.

A cabalmate and I are working on this project

we're a boy band

called S3X DR1VE


all the music we've made so far has been using this iphone app which autotunes your voice and sets it to one of three music tracks

it is uniformly awful, and I don't think any of them are longer than a minute

An early draft of "Horse Song"
http://kiwi6.com/file/f8e742ytr8

This is background music for a specific scene at a LARP I'm playing in two weeks. It's background music for a ritual, so I'm going for a mystical, mysterious sound

the next version will include horse noises

S3X DR1VE's new tracks just dropped

this shit is so awful

I mean, we are using the songify app, with the same background rhythm every time. I keep asking my musician friends, "Do you feel like a sucker for spending all that time developing music skills?" Seriously, you can churn out top 40 pop music in SECONDS these days, with ABSOLUTELY NO SKILL WHATSOEVER.  Legitimate musical talent is for SPAGS.

The OLD way is to release an album with like 12 tracks, each one of them should be unique in some way. That's bullshit. the S3X DR1VE formula is to release basically the same track over and over again until we get laid.

and just to be clear, the joke here:

It always cracks me up when a liquor commercial wraps up with a court mandated "drink responsibly" PSA.

"Pound back 10 Jager Bombs responsibly!"


the goal was to mix up the GETTIN CRUNK IN DA CLUB vibe with the DRINK RESPONSIBLY vibe and see what came out.

I hope your buddy appreciates being called bitch but otherwise :lulz:

BTW I just had a brilliant idea, someone should do "With a little help from my friends" except the lyrics would start

What would you do, if I sang autotuned ...

You roll hard like a butttown playa, responsibly.

Do you mind if I burn a few CDs for some friends who have become internet-challenged recently?
