>a lot of elitist composerfags here on /jp/
There's ZUN!bar. I'm not sure if he counts as "a lot."

>>2614788
Apparently you didn't see the thread that lasted, like, 4 days or so with people posting song samples they made and talking about the different instruments they were using.

There are programs that are like this but better. Like Click Musical Keys, where you can actually see which keys you're playing.

>>2614805

Composerfag here.
I tried to make a song with it, but seriously, it just doesn't work.
Here's the result: http://www.tindeck.com/listen/pwfl
I'll be going back to my " professional" FL Studio now.

>>2614788
He has yet to release a piece of music, he just criticizes others

>>2616679
Elitists are like that.

You have to be a complete newfag at music if you think you can actually do shit with keybored, go pirate yourself an elitist fancy "professional" program.

>>2616679
He has released a piece of music. It wasn't completely awful, but he was obviously a complete beginner.
Anyways, I made a quick rendition of the same song in FL Studio: http://www.tindeck.com/listen/dqmm
You be the judge which is better.

Also, I mistagged the first one...artist name is now 'that crappy song', with 'VDZ' as the song title.

So, composer thread?

>>2616662 Here's the result

"Tubular Chopsticks"

>>2616808
>So, composer thread?
Wouldn't we need some composers for that?

Where can i upload a song quickly to show you people?

>>2616808
Could you or someone else link it? I'm interested in listening to it, especially after he accused the KS music (something I considered to be decent) of sounding like something he wrote when he was 14.

you guys are going to be sorry when zun reads this thread

>>2614792

Is that the thread that ZUN!bar started to praise himself?
Btw, ZUN!bar compositions suck too hard, and he actually believes that he is the American ZUN, just because... well there is no motive at all

I'd like to hear one of zun's songs.

>>2617201
zun is a faggot who cannot compose to save his life, he constantly attacks others out of an inferiority complex and has zero creative impulse.

>>2617223

Ever heard about Touhou?
All the music in the games are composed by ZUN

You guys are fags. I play on a piano and have no way to record anything. Not that I care to record anything anyway.

how can i learn to compose music ;_;

>>2617257
Buy a Yamaha keyboard, an m-audio sound card (i forget which one and am too look it up), and go to town.

>>2617223
No, you wouldn't; nothing to phone home about.

My first complete song on FL8. A shitty attempt at a remix of Yume Nikki (which, by the way has an excellent sound and music folder already ready to be used).

http://www.tindeck.com/listen/yfwc

Tell me what you think.

>>2617284

I have a Yamaha keyboard, and i didn't buy any sound card to record it, the sound is pretty awesome.

>>2617293
Pretty cool.

Does anyone have the "Graze Dat Mixed" album by Margatroid? All the data on my computer was lost in the HD crash of 2009. I somehow retrieved "Graze Dat", but can't find any working link for the second album.

>>2617293
Got better towards the end.

>>2617331
Hurray, the first opinion on my first song is a good one!

>>2617358
Yeah, at the beginning I was just testing what I could do with only the sounds from the game. I still need some practice.

>>2614777
Elitists are just elitists. Without any substance, they're just another annoying tripfag or anonyfag.
The only one who got anything decent was the person who made the /jp/ song.

>>2616808
No

>>2617293

Not bad, I like the end. The begining got a bit tedious, repetitive much but that's Yume Nikki.

>>2617395
Does anyone know who made it? (the /jp/ song)

What I find funny is how you all insult zun when he's done much more creative stuff than any of you will ever do. Get a life.

>>2617410
He chose to stay anonymous, like a true bro.

>>2617460

Ohh much more, huh?
Point one, tought guy

aw shit yeah, I love these threads even though I'm not around here often.

http://www.tindeck.com/listen/uvpw

is my newest trash, made with basically SNES synths. I'm still working on it and there are a couple parts that I'm very unhappy with but it takes over a half hour to render it. I'm also a giant faggot.

my last shit I posted was stuff on youtube --

>>2617473
*sniff, sniff*

Nah, I just felt like trying it out. I'm still anonymous most of the time.

Op XKCD FTW

>>2617496
Oh fuck I didn't notice.

Thanks citizen, I reported this thread.

>>2617293
Dude, I'm groovin' to the last part. Wish you could crop out the first part and make more to go along with it instead of me having to just loop that section over and over.

>>2617496
That's not cool, broham.

>>2617521
Sure, I'll see what I can do. But I don't get it, do you want the first part, or the second?

>>2617505
That's not cool, broham.

>>2617544
The second.

>>2617565
Roger. Don't think I'll be done by today though, I still have some work to do, but I'll upload when I'm finished.

>>2617293
I thought it was okay.

>>2617624
I kinda like it.

>>2616808
Yes, please. (But is it really /jp/ related?)

Man, I really should be composing more since it's the summer, but I've just been feeling really lazy lately. I'll see if I can't get another little ditty out later if this thread is still alive.

>>2617844
It can be /jp/-related if we rearrange VN and Touhou music. I haven't had the inspiration for that for a while, though.

>>2617521
To the guy who called me dude. Made you that second part, rendering it and uploading it soon, it'll be up in a couple of minutes.

Does anyone have that Keybored letter sequence for Septette for a Dead Princess?

>>2618146
Nice.

It's here.

The remix of the remix, as requested.

Hope you like it..

>>2618204
The "upbeat" section of this would make a rather great ringtone.

>>2618229
Haha, you're right. I didn't notice.

Fuck your shit.

>>2618260
keyboard > guitar, fag.

>>2618264
I sense a war building up.

>>2618264
Keyboard + Guitar = Keytar, fag

Where the hell am I going with this?

>>2618273
Keyboard is more versatile than guitar, period. (Unless it's a guitar synth/midi device)

>>2618285
Gotta agree with you there.

Virtual Piano Keyboard is better than Keybored, since you can map keys, and create virtual MIDI outputs to use in other programs.

>>2618280
Back to the 80's is where

>>2618280
Are you trying to be funny?
If so, please kill yourself.

>>2618301
Still a keyboard? Even MIDI controllers are keyboards.

>>2618305
No, I'm being annoying like the rest of /jp/ today.

Keyboard is dildos.

>>2618311
I'm starting to get confused now.

>>2618319
Your grandmother is dildos.

>>2618323
Er, sorry. I have a habit of using MIDI controller to mean "keyboard MIDI controller".

>>2618327
Well, I meant the part where you're asking "Still a keyboard?"

I don't know what you mean by that question in the context of >>2618301.

Well, I'm going to bed. Hope this thread is still up in the morning.
If trolling is the only way to keep a thread up,

Finger tapping on tables is the only god tier!

>>2618342
It was rhetorical.

>>2618363
Oh.

>>2618342
I think he got confused when he thought you said it's better than an actual keyboard when you mean "keybored", the program.

I think.

>>2618372
Aha, I'm fucking retarded. Yeah, ignore me.

>>2618386
Sure.

>>2614792
I wouldn't really say anyone has appeared cocky from all I have read and taken in. Perhaps people are confident with what they make, but the majority of stuff made by everyone is pretty decent to listen to.

>>2618386
Got bored with spamming the same images over and over again and decided to impersonate everybody else I see.

ITT ZUNdere Anons. Lots of them.

And I'm an elitist when it comes to video games and anime, but never about music. I don't know where people are getting that from; I always enjoy these music threads.

>>2617624

Are you the same bro who made that thread?

I've been working on a MOON megamix/mashup the last few hours - basically just time-stretching/pitch-shifting/beat-slicing up chunks of various tracks. And then, Audition 3 decides to bug up and force me to end task it. Now, I was hoping the crash recovery thing would let me recover most of the project, but the piece of shit only had the bit I did in the beginning. Needless to say, I ragequitted.

>>2619008

It's ok, it happens to everyone at least once. I started to save every minute after it happened to me.

A MOON mashup sounds like a cool idea too.

Which "professional" program would /jp/ prefer?

>>2619335
FL Studio, or so I've heard.

>>2619335
For sequencing alone, Fruity Loops and Reason are common and apparently useful enough.

To bring recording real instruments into the mix, use Cubase or Sonar.

>>2618809
I haven't started any composer thread, but I have been bumping them alot and contributing to them.

Also, there's lots of posts here, but still almost no music...

>>2619848
Then post more!

Oh, cool. This thread is still up after a whole night. Too bad no one posted any new songs.

>>2619335
FL Studio 8. Only takes about a day or two to learn the whole interface.

...Are you being serious? I've been screwing around with this for at least an hour total, and I haven't figured out how to do shit. It also doesn't help that I don't know shit about musical terms.

>>2620040
More songs? Okay, here, have 160 songs: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=583CT4ZG
I decided to upload ALL of my songs. Quality varies from 'wtf is this shit' to 'hey, this isn't bad' (or, if you actually like my music, it can go all the way up to 'this is awesome').
If you sort it by 'last modified' date, you can see how my music's changed over the course of time.

In case you want to edit my songs, or just want crappy reference material, you can also download the FLP (FL Studio project) files for most of the songs and a lot of unreleased songs here: http://www.mediafire.com/?rqykjgymnim

Songs included in the MP3 package that are /jp/-related:
Cold Earth (Remix of a song from the obscure NES game 1999: Hore, Mitakotoka! Seikimatsu)
Crimsoness - Split the Earth (Rearranged midirip from Crimsoness)
Crystallized Silver (Touhou rearrangement)
Eight Murders (Higurashi rearrangement)
Infinite Rage - Crimsoness (Crappy Crimsoness rearrangement)
Karma (I don't need to explain this one, do I?)
Moonshine (Rearrangement of a track from Moonshine)
Sono me dare no me (remix) (Remix of voice samples from Chaos;Head)
The Golden King of Windows (f/sn's The Golden King with default window sounds mixed in)

I just use FL and audacity nowadays. I am so terribly boring.

so the quote unquote professional software nowadays actually has quality-sounding synth instruments?

or does synth violin still sound horrible

>>2621095
That's what VSTs are for. You have a program to create music in (FL Studio, Cubase, etc), which comes with a set of 'instruments' (VSTs), and then you download additional instruments.

So yes. Every modern music making program can have high quality synth instruments, you just need to download them and put them in your VST folder.

Somebody here might enjoy these little clips. I was planning on doing an orchestration of the entire star fox sound track, connecting the songs together to make a ~30min mix but nobody seemed interested in the star fox music. I work with cubase 4.

>>2619008
Alright, so I've been at this again, this time just preparing the resources for use. Managed to deconstruct the pieces approximately bar-by-by, and also made rex files out of them (though they're pretty rough). Anyways, I've managed to do the first 4 tracks and I am totally burnt out - here's the files in case someone wants to attempt do some remixes of those tracks.

>
> (I would've started such a thread and posted music myself, but I haven't had much inspiration the past two weeks, and I've only composed one crappy piece of music.)

>>2621148
I think these are quite good. I only remember vaguely remember Star Fox music (only course select and corneria basically heh), but the orchestration is pretty good.

I'm not familiar with the Gradius piece (the tag says it's from IV?), but it's quite an energetic arrangement.

The Zelda Intro is probably my favorite of the bunch; don't remember which 'intro' it is too, but it's a very nice and relaxing number. I actually also started on a Zelda piece (a TP montage of sorts) last year, but never finished it due to losing the project file. Here's a WIP I managed to dig up though: http://tindeck.com/listen/rypy

>>2621188
So relaxing... I love it.
It would be great background music for VNs.

>>2621243
Why are you posting anonymous, VDZ?

Well, started with composition yesterday, it must be pretty terrible. Feel free to hear or offend my mother.

http://files.filefront.com/calm1mp3/;13784745;/fileinfo.html

>>2622271
Could use more instruments.

>>2622221
I usually post anonymously, I only post with my tripcode if there's a good reason for it (such as when I post my own stuff, when I'm posting ripped/compiled stuff, when I'm posting stuff about VN translations, etc).

>>2622460
Alright.

>>2622460
>I post with a tripcode only to get popularity

>>2622621
Actually, it's more to tell people what to expect. For example, if I had said Yosuga no Sora is will be getting translated without my tripcode, I'd probably only get a 'cool story bro' and the thread would drop off page 10 soon afterwards.
And the 160 songs just now, if you think my music is shit, it instantly tells you it would be a waste of time to download them.

(Please troll more, it gets the thread bumped.)

>>2622794
Request accepted.
Digital music will never sound as good as classical.

But really, I'm surprised this thread has survived for this long, even on /jp/.

>>2622049
Yeah, well, because it actually is music from a VN. Moon. I was just taking apart the music some so that one could try remixing the parts.

>>2622827
Oh. Haha, didn't know. Never played Moon before.

I haven't played piano in about 6 years, but I still have the old piano around, so I went back and played stuff on it.

It's surprisingly easy to get back into the swing of things; my left hand still inserts chords effortlessly into the melodies. Doesn't hurt that I've been whistling Touhou tunes for the past year...

which Katamari song are the lyrics in OP pic from?

Musical bump.

>>2622950
I'm wondering how whistling tunes helps playing piano.

>>2622964
No, Royal Rainbow is what the King of the Cosmos says when he takes your completed Katamari at the end of a level.

Keep this thread going, post more songs. Hopefully this thread will still be up in the morning.

>>2623838
I was talking about the "we travel along, rolling up more and more" part. Those are translated lyrics to some Katamari song which I wish to know the name of.

>>2622899
Honestly, I haven't gotten to it yet either, heh. But I was listening to the soundtrack, and there's really a number of simple, but nice pieces. Also, many of them have the same feel to it, which gave me the idea for the mashup in the first place.

Anyways, I've started on the mix - it's kind of jumbled and abrupt at parts, and I should probably fix some areas by manually resequencing it (went too happy with the loops this time lol), but overall it's not too bad, I think.

http://tindeck.com/listen/vyyo

>>2624278
I like this

Parts of it sound really time stretched though. I can't tell if you're actually using time stretched samples or if it's just a result of some of the delay-type effects you used, but if it's because of the effects I'd turn them down a bit if I was you to make the mix sound cleaner.

Just my opinion tho

>>2624366
Yeah, some samples were definitely stretched out, and combined with tons of pitch shifting, pretty much shits up the quality. I was just felt doing it all with samples today to sketch it out, but I'll probably replace some of the parts with synth'ed stuff, and add some better transitions and such. Glad you liked it so far though.

>>2624235
Oh. Well, sorry for the confusion, and hope you find the song in question.

>>2624278
That's really good! I'd say just a few minor parts are a little jumbled, but it really sounds great.

>>2633148
Well, I guess I don't compose fast enough for that...so I'm hoping other people will post stuff to make up for that.

>>2624278
Hey, I have a question.

I'm >>2624366, I downloaded your song the other day, like I said I think it's pretty cool. But something was bugging me about it and I realized what it was. I have an ear for samples, and I could swear I'd heard the drum loop in the beginning before, and I figured out where I'd heard it. It's used in a BGM from Persona 2 called "幻想" ("Gensou"). I may have heard it in other songs too, not sure though.

I'm just curious where you got it, since it must be the same sample source that the people who made the Persona 2 BGM used and I'm a sample nerd so I like knowing where shit came from. I feel like this loop might be a time-stretched/processed version of the often heard "synthetic substitution" loop, so I played around with that loop for a bit but I couldn't get it to sound exactly right so I'm not sure. Either way, the Persona 2 BGM drums and the drums in your song are IMO far too similar to just be a result of the same kind of EQing and processing, they've got to be the same pre-processed drumloop.

Anyway, here's the Persona 2 song if you're interested. The drums in question come in around 0:23.

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=e7d99693d24288f4111096d429abd360e04e75f6e8ebb871

>>2633148
FAIL'd. Sorry for the delay, here's the actual file even: http://tindeck.com/listen/kcbj

>>2633173
Well, doesn't even have to be a whole piece -maybe a bar or so of what you are working on, as sort of teaser or something.

>>2633197
Yeah, I know what you mean - it's definitely not the first time I've heard that break. But I'm not really much of a 'sample nerd'; I really only started using drum loops and such last year. Anyways, I tried searching for it to no avail, but I'll ask around later and let you know if I get the answer.

If anyone plays the piano here... Would this be hard to play? I am a bit concerned with writing jazz parts for the piano, as I can hardly play the instrument...

(ignore the shit score itself, I transposed some of the notes down so they would fit on the ledger lines and other stupid things)

>>2633345
I'd need to practice it, otherwise there'd be mistakes all over. It Isn't too hard though.

>>2633345
Chord on downbeat of 14 (and subsequent repeats) looks like it may be impossible, or at least pretty uncomfortable.

>>2633354
Ah awesome, thanks. I guess I shouldn't worry very much, considering it is only going to be a MIDI triggered piano playing my stuff anyway, heh.

>>2633345
That's pretty much unplayable, because of the ridiculous spacing between notes. The largest interval most pianists can play in one hand is a 9th, and even that's difficult with notes in between. The general rule for piano writing is that you want intervals to be an octave or smaller, unless there's space for the pianist to roll the chord. However, this can be fixed easily by removing double voicings, which there are shitload of.

>>2633368
9th? Shouldn't it be tenth? Lots of piano literature has 10ths in one hand.

>>2633368
Also, I should add that if you're going to voice all of the notes in a chord, there's (usually) absolutely no reason to double any of them, and just results in a headache for whoever has to play this.

>>2633371
Yes, there is. However, in those cases, it's usually expected that the chord be rolled. The only piano literature where you're going to see tenths everywhere is in really difficult stuff for virtuosos.

>>2633361
>>2633368
Yeah, I had roughly planned the hand spacing out before doing this transposing down; annoyingly the whole question was flawed as the reading of it is voided due to the transposition. The right hand was supposed to be 2 octaves higher, to compliment this marimba and xylophone part. Thanks though, and I'll keep that 9th limit in mind.

>>2633323
Hey, are you the dude who made the song? If so, what sample library/loop library or whatever did you get the break from?

>>2633380
I think you exaggerate a bit - a person with normal sized hands should be able to just hit most tenths, and can probably comfortably add in the fifth too if it's not going by quickly.

>>2633381
Other than that errant chord, though, I think all of your intervals are no more than a 9th for one hand. And for that chord, you can try bumping the G down an octave and the Eb up an octave if the slight change in texture doesn't bother you much.

>>2633438
My hands are rather large, at least enough for teachers to comment that I have ideal piano hands, and I can only reach a tenth if I'm hitting the very edge of the keys.

Good work /jp/!

Sadly I have been out of inspiration for the last couple of days but this thread has made me want to do something quick.

>>2633453
Ok, so let me just make sure we mean the same thing - by 10th you mean in major or minor third plus an octave, right? I have fairly large hands as well and I can barely reach the white key only perfect 11th's.

>>2633470
Yeah, that's what I meant. You probably just have really big hands. I'm currently preparing an audition for the conservatory right now, and the only time I've encountered large amounts of 10ths that were required to be quickly played were in pieces by people like Rachmaninoff and Ravel, who are notorious dicks to pianists. I'm not really adverse to large intervals as most of the time I have enough space to quickly roll them, but when they're in the middle of a bunch of consecutive chords, they can be a bitch to play. Either way, the piece would be pretty much the same and would be much easier to play with more practical voice leading.

Thanks for your help there everyone; very grateful. In return, here are a couple of ideas I had last night for the 'Tamriel Rebuilt' project, if you're in the mood. They are just ambient dungeon tracks, but I got some really nice sounding software recently, which I've been playing around with.

>>2633541
Pretty neat - rather abstract sounding and stuff. I think maybe you should adjust the reverb some more consistency though - some instruments (like the brake drums(?)) sound kind of too close to the "mike," if that makes any sense.

Sounds randomish, but that leaves a certain charm to it I guess.

Um, I wasn't serious about the Musical Bump music. It IS random, as in, I just clicked randomly to add notes.

>>2621213
Anything by East/West is good for a variety of instruments, from traditional orchestral stuff to ethnic instruments. Huge filesizes though.

I don't know about synthesizers -- I remember a vst called Crystal that was pretty good for amateurs (you can just click "random" to get new synth sounds until you find one you like), but I don't remember where you'd find it.

For rock drums, there's Drumkit from Hell, Addictive Drums, and a bunch of others. I don't know anything about techno drums.

Something I'm working on for a VN project thing, though it's still kind of rough.

That was a nice song.

I would've liked for the drums to either come in earlier or not at all, that whole end part actually. It's really nice and feels sort of wasted to only have a little bit of it at the end.

>>2638207

HOLY SHIT! thats good. and yes. the end was a bit rough.

Musical bump.

Bump that has nothing to do with music.

I'm on an AMD Duron 650 mhz with 256 MB RAM.
Are there any composer programs that run on this piece of shit?

>>2641560
Anyone?

>>2641956
All of them.

composing music using the computer is so boring, stiff and soulless. Anybody know of any good Synthesizers?

>>2642083
You're boring, stiff, and soulless. Soft or hard?

>>2642092
Why, I like it hard.

>>2642094

>>2642083
A computer.

>>2642104
DAT FACE

Hah, I can't believe I listened to this whole thing. It was mostly annoying, but there were some surreal moments.

Pepernoten bump.

>>2645872
I'm getting the feeling that /jp/ is bored of this already. Perhaps give it a few days, and start anew.

>>2645872
This is the first time I see this. What does /jp/ have to do with Holland?

>>2646216
No idea, but I love pepernoten.

Musical bump.

Junk bump.

Man, I finally downloaded Symphobia, only to find out that it only has mass ensembles and NO INSTRUMENT SOLO/SECTION instruments. SO DISAPOINT. But I'll still probably use it in a piece or two else I would've wasted that bandwidth for nothing.

>>2648636
That, or you could just download FL Studio.

>>2649499
Symphobia is a sample library; Fruity Loops is a DAW. Apples and oranges much?

>>2649595
...
Oranges are better. Definitely.

Microwave bump.

Excellent...

So I actually tried messing around with these some, with mixed results but yeah...

KeyBored is pretty cool in that it has like a 4 octave range and you can easily traverse through them as they are mapped diagonally (ie, 1, q, a, and z are all octave equivalents). It's also kind of fun in the way that it registers all keystrokes even if the program is not in focus - you can be typing up a report or something and it'll still knock out funky notes. Sucky part is the way it handles accidentals, which require you to press shift for sharping the note. This makes it extremely annoying to play (fast) passages that switch back and forth from the sharp and natural version of a note. Also, there's this website (http://keybored.wikidot.com/system:keybored-songs)) that has a list of the melodies of numerous songs in KeyBored notation, but you pretty much need to know song well as the notation it doesn't portray rhythm.

Click Musical Keys takes the more sensible approach in putting it's black keys on every other row, though of course this cuts down on the range to about two octaves. Plays more intuitively but for some the octaves don't map smoothly like they do with KeyBored - each row extends to the 11th or something. This of course makes chords using both rows a good deal more awkward. Also, there is no option to skip octaves like in Garageband or Logic.

If only there was another program that combined the strengths of these two..

Oh, and both have the option to use all 127 patches from your GM synth bank (no drumkits though), but unfortunately can't be used as a DXi/VSTi/AU/RTAS host for plugins.

Just kidding, this is also a bump. Post more.

>>2653958
But the thread is dead....

>>2653975
So... time for new thread?

>>2653975
Dead?

Holy shit, it's the autosage.
