I haven't started because I'm really busy setting up for a live show next week. I promise I'll start working on my verse afterwards though!

No rush guys, projects like this take awhile to get going. ( 'A` )

103 Name: 100 (Captain Obvious) : 1993-09-5125 18:39

Sure, but we still need to get the first round of tracks done pretty fast to prove that this project is serious.

So if I understand right, ALL SIX of the DQN regulars are in on this? Wow.

106 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5127 12:02

I could to the vocals for some, but I don't have a mic. Any recommendations?

107 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5127 12:40

>>106
Plug a set of headphones in the mic jack. It actually works, but you'll need to turn the input volume up and filter the noise out with a sample editor.

Or you could just go to radio shack and buy a $10 microphone. ;)

108 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5127 12:52

... wait, did you mean recommendations for a brand of microphone? lol
If you want good quality and have a few dollars to shell out, get the Shure SM58; otherwise, any $10 mic will do just fine with a bit of editing. For true DQN quality, though, headphones are definitely the way to go.

I guess I'll use the nick "dqn-kun" (no caps) for now.

I would claim one, but I'm not sure what to do about the music.

I don't really want to take a pre-made instrumental track from somewhere, so the only choices are to make one myself of have someone make one for me.

110 Name: Insert nothing here : 1993-09-5131 00:39

Has anyone pirated this "Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku" program that made the animu news in various places? It seems like it could come in very useful for those who don't want to do live vocals.

Much awesome

>>110
I'm acquiring it right now but I'm not sure I'll be able to use it if it requires reading and inputting moon runes.
There are other vocaloids in English, maybe that can help if it's difficult to use - but from watching youtube demos the other vocaloids sound pretty shitty in comparison.

115 Name: ( ・∀・)  : 1993-09-5140 03:30

Well, that Vocaloid thing was pretty straightforward to get to work without undersanding Japanese. Very little trial and error is required to get the basic functions to work. This can definitely be useful to moe up the very long song.

I must say, I've been playing with vocaloid and it is awesome. Probably would be even better if I could read any of the menu items, but they all show up as ???????? to me (lol, wine sucks at japanese) -- still, I've managed to figure out at least enough to do the Evangelion OP. Thank you >>110; I'll be up all night playing with this thing.

Not only easier, but in fact readable. Unfortunately, it's not a Windows problem in my case, but an issue with Wine.

.... oh yeah. I forgot some people actually sing.

133 Name: ( ・∀・)  : 1993-09-5148 02:23

Hey guys, what should we do about the encores? There are 4 or them:

  • 1st verse encore after bridge 2
  • 3rd verse encore after 1st verse encore
  • 2nd verse encore after bridge 3
  • 1st verse partial encore * 2 after 2nd verse vencore

We obviously can't have the exact same song file twice.

I think maybe we could just go the easy way and have someone say in a pretty DQN voice something like "As to improve your enjoyment of this song, we recommend you play the 1st verse a second time".

134 Name: ( ・∀・)  : 1993-09-5148 02:49

>>133
I was thinking of doing remixes for the encores.

135 Name: ( ・∀・)  : 1993-09-5148 03:19

>>134
I second this idea.

136 Name: ( ・∀・)  : 1993-09-5149 04:04

I've finally figured out how to write Vocaloid lyrics reasonably quickly:

  • lay out as many notes as there are syllabes for one or two sentences
  • right-click the first note, choose the next to last option
  • Write your sentence as engrish syllabes, each one separated by spaces. For example, 'i ro ru do mi tu i zo do mi ci ru' for "He lured me to his domicile".

There is a dictionary (ALT+L then C) but I've not figured out how the hell it really works yet.

137 Name: ( ・∀・)  : 1993-09-5149 04:55

it carries out and is ω

138 Name: ( ・∀・)  : 1993-09-5149 21:16

>>136
You can also set the pronounciation manually (last option in the right-click menu of a note.) Unfortunately, Miku seems to refuse to sing in English even if I tell her the pronounciation...

139 Name: ( ・∀・)  : 1993-09-5149 22:16

Any quick way to get just a consonant sound without the vowel, and without cutting the note off?

140 Name: ☆★VIPSTAR★☆ : 1993-09-5150 15:22

Hey guys, there's a new wiki at http://tanasinn.info/, feel fee to use it as a project page, we would be honhored to host it!

I had EPIC PLANS but my speech synthesizer was found wanting. So instead of carrying those out (and is w) I forgot about this project for a month and then made this in 1 hour from two midi files lying around on my hard drive. Enjoy.

150 Name: ( ・∀・)  : 1993-09-5159 21:45

Just in case someone else is trying to do stuff with Vocaloid, here are 2 additional things I've found out:

  • When editing a note, you can edit the pronounciation by pressing ALT + Down Arrow then writing pronounciation symbols
  • The pronounciation table in the included dictionary is only for English Vocaloids! The pronounciation with Miku is available in the help file: press F1 then look for the page "VOCALOID2発音記号一覧表(日本語)" in the last category ("付録").

Here's the first verse.

http://dqn.dqn.lol.googlepages.com/1stverse.mp3

Actual effort went into not making it sound listenable, as to not scare away listeners right from the first verse.

Since there is a full encore, and then a 'partial encore x2' of this verse, please go ahead and fuck it up twice. This is a good way to participate if you can't make music but know how to speed up a song and smear noise all over it.

Also, go grab a mic and a guitar or something and go record a verse right fucking now guys.
I don't care if you're reading this at 4 AM and don't have a guitar, do it anyway.
And don't forget that 3 remixes are still up for grabs.

You don't have to read this whole thread to get started, all the info you need is at http://tanasinn.info/wiki/Really_Long_Song_Project , including web-based speech synths.
And if you're not comfortable editing the wiki, just say you reserve a verse in this thread and we'll take care of the wiki for you. Then you can upload the MP3 to rapidshare, no need for something permanent.

Do 77 and ( ゚ ヮ゚) (names used on the wiki) still intend to do the 4th and 13th verse? I think they have been reserved for months.

Anyway, for those who don't care to check the wiki yet care to know how it's going on, 16 of 29 songs have been recorded. Of the 13 remaining, two are remixes (of the first verse, and of the chorus which hasn't been done yet) and the 11 others are normal verses.

I still plan on doing mine, although I have been having no end of technical problems the last month. Latest news is my computer is completely dead and I'm borrowing a friend's laptop until I can get a new one, but the entire 4th verse minus the last couple lines is still waiting patiently to be tied up and rendered to mp3.

There's a CompUSA down the street that's desperately trying to sell all of its stuff. I might pick up a cheap desktop from there and swap the hard drives out so that I can get this done. I actually have parts of other verses done as well, so once everything is operational again I may be able to contribute a few verses.

> I actually have parts of other verses done as well

Which ones? So we can consider them semi-reserved (it's not like there's a need to hurry). Also, were you the guy doing the 4th or 13th?

Someone should make some cover art.
I think it should depict Miku under the moon wearing mittens.

Chorus by VIPPER
Chorus (with occasional, repeated shouts of 'lol internet') by VIPPER vs. ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃

(I'll have to admit it didn't turn out as ☆☆☆VIP☆☆☆ as I hoped...)


Also, for the guy who had problems with the myspace player, here's a mirror of the verse 2 encore

BTW, CompUSA isn't any better when all their stuff is 30% off.
