[DQN] We Must Create Another DQN Album! (244)

1 Name: ( ίƒŽί) : 1993-09-8972 13:38

We cannot have VIP scum releasing their albums faster then we ever will.

THE TIME IS NOW!

We need to compile another community project.

Whoever gets >>20 names the album.

10 Name: (*ﾟーﾟ) : 1993-09-8972 23:08

if you're gonna be that much of an autist pedant at least be pedantic about the correct part

"Here" is used correctly, but it should be "here are" and not "here [is]". Consider that if you rearranged the sentence so that it read "A bunch of songs written by DQN-kun is here", it wouldn't be correct.

11 Name: (*ﾟーﾟ) : 1993-09-8972 23:22

It is a single bunch.

The subject "bunch" is a collective noun. In American English collective nouns are treated as singular.

DQN music. I meant "there are plenty of songs on this page yet to be recorded" rather than "here's a list of songs yet to be recorded". You don't need to be autistic to be pedantic, or just to want to communicate concisely...

  1. download FL studio from your favourite russian torrent tracker

  3. stutter 3

(optional) record your favourite DQN song using a text-to-speech voice and put that over the top
4. repeat
5. export as wav

How? How do people create digital music? I blankly stare at OpenMPT, patterns fly in front of my empty eyes, switching channels off and on - and it doesn't make sense. Sometimes it's a sample that sounds low quality, no good alone, and that one sounds just silly; sometimes it's just a mere echo of a sound that makes no sense played on its own - and here is an intricate pattern of various drums. But they somehow fit together and make a pleasant tune.

52 Name: (*ﾟーﾟ) : 1993-09-8988 19:17

The tracker interface has probably the highest learning curve of any "standard" method of making music digitally. There's a lot of tradition behind it, it's a really weird paradigm honestly, and as someone for whom it's sort of a primary method, I don't recommend it unless you're aware that it will be a significant time commitment, there are some pretty big limitations to it, and you may never succeed in actually feeling comfortable with the interface. I would say there are only a handful of people in the world who have truly mastered the art of the tracker. The rest of us sort of hobble along behind them.
  • Find some tutorials and watch them. Go all the way through a bunch of tutorials with the program closed, just to get the feel for how someone might approach problem-solving with this tool. Once you're done, start over with the program open and follow along.
  • Download other people's modules and tear them apart. It looks like you're already doing this, which is good. But go further. Slow everything way down, play around with effect commands, try to see how a certain sound was produced and how you can replicate it. I did this a lot with Virt's old stuff, as he was the one who inspired me to pick it up in the first place.
  • It can be helpful if you plan your song in advance so you have less problem-solving to do in the tracker itself. I neglect this most of the time, and as a result I take a long time to finish anything.
  • Do not be afraid to experiment. Your stuff will sound awful for a while. That's okay. Come up with an artist name for awful stuff, or release it anonymously. Do better next time.
  • Be always on the lookout for samples. Find stuff that sounds good, save it, and keep looking.
  • Don't think, feel.

Back in the day I used to like following the Soundevotion Competition. They always had some pretty good samplepacks. All the entries are in Renoise format, so you'll have to use a different program to read them, but it's a pretty big database of both samples and techniques, ranked somewhat by module quality. Renoise is commercial, but it's free to try; you just can't directly export to wav (although there are ways around that).

53 Name: (*ﾟーﾟ) : 1993-09-8988 21:19

>>52
Thank you for the advice and encouragement!
I've been following the demoscene for at least a decade, but seeing it from a creative side is a bit new.
Perhaps, I got too used to instant gratification overall which makes me startled by a blank state and experimentation. There is certainly quite a gap between empty module and a tune in my head (which also tends to vanish).
Oh, and I didn't use my time to amass a sample library.

This also gives some encouragement and direction.

I don't know much about audio editing. Perhaps I could record some field recordings and then someone else could incorporate them into their track(s)?

Not everybody has to be a music producer. Some people can contribute pieces that other people use.

Instead of every track being made entirely separately, I could record stuff that other people can use in their own stuff. That seems more collaborative too, don't you think?

86 Name: (*ﾟーﾟ) : 1993-09-9001 21:17

I am making a sequencer program for making music with! It is graph-based, like PureData, meaning your session will be a bunch of "nodes" (a thing that processes events and outputs other events, like MIDI input, metronome, etc) and they connect together via their ports (like incoming MIDI message, tempo, etc). It's also got rudimentary type checking, meaning you can't connect a MIDI message port to a tempo port!
At the moment you have to write the script to connect everything up, but I have plans for an actual graphical interface. It will focus entirely on sequencing, at least to start, so you will have to connect it to external instruments to hear anything.

Anyway I hope you like my idea and that you might enjoy making music with it when it's usable!

How would you estimate the necessity of a specialised electronic keyboard for creating digital music on a personal computer (its usefulness with trackers, for example) and learning music as a beginner?

What do you think about Chicago footwork?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_0J1LGI2l4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8GyEsz4YEA
Sometimes, indie Bandcamp artists incorporate aspects of both breakcore and footwork/juke into their tracks. I think it's quite nice. Machine Girl, Yeongrak, etc.
Some people make the mistake of calling footwork a hip-hop or rap style of music. That's wrong. Hip hop and rap are more centered around lyrics, whereas Footwork/Juke is dance music (and a style of dance).
Example:
There's some Japanese footwork, too:

Personally I've never used a piano keyboard for tracking. I did learn a lot about music theory many years ago from one of those RadioShack keyboards that would tell you what chord you were playing and stuff (and would recommend such a thing if you find a used one on Craigslist or whatever). I've thought about getting a USB MIDI keyboard, and may yet, but for the most part once you get used to using your computer's keyboard it's not cripplingly bad in my experience. I'd say if you want to do chords or anything in real time, or learn piano/synth as an actual instrument, you'll want a piano keyboard. Otherwise, I mean, if you wanna throw $60 at a used one, it still won't hurt. Make sure your tracker will handle it, though. For instance, Renoise will do it but I don't think MilkyTracker will. Just about any conventional DAW will.

I've used Festival a bit in the distant past, but I really want one that sounds really monotone and vocoded for the purposes of music, so I'm still looking.
