I wonder how many times the Yoshinoya rant was actually spoken, let alone recorded. This may be a historic recording.

This is now my favorite song. I shall now play it every day for the rest of my life, until I get tired of it.

Like I would commit to this before knowing what those crazy DQN might do.
Hope you won't mind if I steal a few of your lyrics to remix in my version? I'd like to lift the bridge part.

53 Name: >>1 : 1993-09-5112 23:29

Haha, that's fine by me, it's all in good fun.

54 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5113 01:15

Brace for more awesome.
I tried to put some actual effort in this one, unless the previous one that's just pure DQN. But more speech synth because it takes me way too long to do the vocals right otherwise. I've used stereo effects to try to do >>20 and >>22 justice, but I just left >>12 alone.

That's a huge challenge... none of us have the same style, the same tools, and we don't even know how many we are (probably at least 4 if I remember correctly the amount of recordings of All Alone for Christmas).

A collab would probably be either:

  • 1 or 2 guys working on a long background track fairly consistent throughout, and singers adding their lyrics (can't have the backing really reflect the lyrics if we go this way). And because of the huge scale of the task, there's no way bad singers can get their lyrics fixed by the arranger(s) if they can't do it themselves. I doubt we can get dedicated and organized enough to do it.
  • A succession of unrelated songs that we would just consider to be 1 really long song. We would probably split it so each song is 1 verse + the chorus. Maybe we could make it work by having someone make an official a capella chorus, and everyone else must reinterpret it or remix it in a way that is strongly reminiscent of the original. But this way, there's no helping the fact that every 2 minutes, the genre, the quality, and even the volume of the songs would drastically change.

Also, we would need some kind of actual organization. At the very least we should all agree on a few rules and on which part everyone would do. Maybe a wiki page on scratchpad.wikia.com or something would be better than a thread that could quickly become way too long and intimidating for people who would otherwise consider joining the project.

I'd definitely participate anyway, whether we go for complete DQN style, actual music, or a succession of very different parts.
Are there more people who would participate? (if so tell us what sort of music you would do)
I make mostly electronic music with horrible vocoded vocals (can't sing), spoken parts, and speech synth.

66 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5114 22:14

I do hard electronic stuff, but none of my music sounds similar enough to pinpoint a style.

67 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5114 22:23

>>65
I was definitely thinking the second option. The fact that every part would be completely different is what makes it great.

We could probably get some of the guys from DQN ELECTRONICS VOL.9 to help, so that's 12 more people at max.

As for organization, scratchpad would probably be best, unless someone who has a wiki is willing to host something like this.

There's another etherchan like wiki in the works, but we don't have any programmers or admins. Anyone feel like doing a ton of work for no real reward? ( 'A` )

> But this way, there's no helping the fact that every 2 minutes, the genre, the quality, and even the volume of the songs would drastically change.

I don't think that's a problem, it will just make it even more DQN.

69 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5114 23:28

http://www.myspace.com/buundqn is me. I'd help, if you'd want it

70 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5116 06:14

So only 3 now... ? Even if we managed to do the 18 verses all by ourselves it would probably be too repetitive to make for something fun to listen to...

Well, the song was finished long ago so maybe a few people are waiting to see if we're really serious about that before replying.

71 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5116 07:20

Also, no need to rush. Things like this take awhile.

I'm willing to help. I'm the guy who arranged "DQN DQN LOL" way back when although I did not try very hard on that one. I can probably do better.

74 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5116 11:35

Sup. I was the guy who... "sang" the parked mix of All Alone For Christmas. I swear I've improved a bit. :p I also think I did a (purposely) crappy mix of another dqn song using some text-speech thing and my knowledge of what sounds bad.

Anyway, I'd be willing to help.

You can use iiichan's /music/ for hosting.

That would be a big influx of big files in a short time... nothing wrong with rapidshare while we're still working on them.

Anyway, what should we do about all the flood/AA/foreign language.... parts? Anything goes so long as we try something, or we skip them?

77 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5116 19:29

We should leave it up to the artist. If they don't want to repeat "under the moon loli to issho" 50 times that's cool with me.

>>77
Trying goes against the spirit of this board. If this is going to happen, it'll be half-assed in true DQN style.

Also, what tools do you guys use? I wanna contribute, but all I have is a cracked copy of Reason that I have no idea how to use. ( 'A` )

82 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5117 00:34

OK guys, I've started this mini-wiki: http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/DQN

BTW, do you guys want to do it anonymously or with nicknames? (It may be hard to collaborate if we don't have a way to distinguish each artist)

83 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5117 00:37

Anonymous is more DQN.

I'm willing to help!

I did "My Life is Ruined" and "It puts the lotion in the basket" (the September 5000 song.) My sort of website is http://www.freewebs.com/anondoesnotforgive/ but I don't update it. You can call me Anonymous or DQN-kun.

Wayback is back up, and it has the etherchan page archived. It lacks the edit page, though, so no wiki-formatted version.

We could copy the html source over then edit the links and whatever else that breaks.

I've updated the wiki a little and started a few discussions about the various parts of the songs there.
I propose that when we are ready to record something, we reserve the part on the wiki.

94 Name: ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ : 1993-09-5117 19:48

I think that if we are going to do this it has to be anon, but WITH nicknames, so not like our common nick names but we choose other ones like captian obvious or ⊂二二二( ^ω^)二二二⊃ or something

We pretty much need nicknames, at least temporarily so we know who's doing what. When we're ready to release it though, it will be under one name of course.

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.

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.

A good set of studio quality headphones is your best friend.

I use HD-280s. :p As well as some Sentry headphones that do a decent job.

The problem is my singing.

how much does a good recording mic cost?

Thank you! That's my favorite verse out of the Really Long Song and you did it justice.

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".

I was thinking of doing remixes for the encores.

I second this idea.

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.

it carries out and is ω

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...

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

That would probably give us more exposure too.
