Whaddup all! Also I've been making some music...

It's been a while! I think my last post was talking about the election hah. My first post was nearly five years ago, too. Wierd how time goes.

Anyways, I used to post my music here for a couple years and so I thought, maybe I'd restore the tradition? Most of my new stuff is just for solo piano, and I've been posting it on youtube. Here's my channel and here are some of my favorite pieces (newest towards the bottom):

Prelude in A-flat Major
Prelude in D-flat Major
Prelude in B Minor

Glass and Light

Mirach
Mu Andromedae
Nu Andromedae

I would be pretty cool if you checked em out!

That's awesome!

I've made some too. It's mostly poor-quality "chiptune" (note the quotation marks) so not as good as your's.

I'm proud of this one, though.

Keep working on it and you'll get better! I sure sucked when I started. What program do you use?

Thanks Twelvefoot!

Hey Ecthelion how're you doing !

Really liking the compositions, they're beautiful man, how did you learn music theory/where did you learn to compose?
Also what software did you use for your old chiptune songs as they were so awesome as well? I remember using your one of them, I think it was Wind as I really liked that w/ the bird & wind sounds, for my failed JJX let's play.
The only original stuff I've done has been with LSDj and I never felt brave enough to upload it as it is no where near the level as yours & other stuff out there haha

Hey Tye! Nice to see you around, it's been a few long years. I appreciate the feedback! I've mostly been learning theory from the internet (Reddit is a surprisingly good source!) but I'm sure twelve years of piano lessons has helped a bit. I've never had any formal composition training though, which is something I'm really interested to do next year when I start college.

My earliest stuff I made with nanoloop, which is a really simple iOS/Android app, but that Wind song I made in Garageband, I think. I've never used LSDj so I'm not really sure what it's like, but I'd be interested in hearing anything you make!

Nice! I've had guitar lessons in the past but included none to very little musical theory and now I just regret not learning the piano... Planning on doing a Udemy course on musical theory over summer but will have to see how that goes, I will have to check out reddit as a music theory resource I mean it is good for basically everything else.
Your compositions are so good for someone who has just self-taught music theory, keep it up !

Ah sweet man! Everyone I know who is studying music at university/college has enjoyed their course massively and some of the compositions my friends have done has just blown me away. Good luck with it man, would love to have some updates here on how it's going

I tried out nanoloop but never really learnt much about it, will have to give it another go. LSDj is alright but it is very clunky & fiddly as you literally have to input notes into a grid like UI called a phrase: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Wn2bViJqiok/hqdefault.jpg which is basically like a bar -- 4/4 time with each row being a sixteenth note. You can get 3/4 and other time signatures by putting commands into the CMD column. Then each phrase gets sorted into the Song grid where you can order them: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/U-Ha5I5x6_o/hqdefault.jpg Here each column is for a different instrument channel/voice with the NOI being noise.

I created this with it a couple of years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPI1IBc7IEA but it is literally just a note-for-note cover of Crystalised by the xx...

I am waaay more proud of this one which is a cover of Not In Love by Crystal Castles. I did it with a friend (who is insane at singing and music production) and basically wrote the song in a different style which was a lot more fun: https://soundcloud.com/josh-waites/not- ... s-chiptune

LSDj is like an old-school tracker used for making basic electronic music. SunVox is a super cool one that's free on PC, but it's like $10 on mobile (iOS/Android)

Hey Kiddos, long time no see. I have also gotten really into making music over the last two and a half years. I use Ableton Live 9.5, Serum VST and Sausage Fattener (funny name i know). I make EDM tunes, mostly Dubstep and Trap music. Heres my SoundCloud if anyone is interested: https://soundcloud.com/getrealtunes

If anyone else has SC accounts or anything, message them to me or just reply to this comment, I dont know if the rules have changed to be against that stuff haha. But yeah, hows things been?

Damn Shaun, those are some really nice tracks you've got. Do you happen to take inspiration from Aero Chord? Just a guess.

Every producer worth their salt uses sausage fattener to create those beefy, luscious, moist, sausagey kicks especially if ur gonna create dubstep (or trap like everyone else)

I've been excited for Android release. hbu?

More than just kicks, basses, leads and everything, I love it lmao.

Aero Chord is definitely one of my inspirations; aswell as MUST DIE! and basically everyone on the NeverSayDie roster, Skrillex, Boombox Cartel and many more. But thank you bro, that means a lot to me

Omg, that’s what you call “poor quality”? I sort of like all of my song (note the word “song” being singular (on purpose)) made in FL Studio Mobile (yep, bought it with my own debit card and I’m 17! :s) and its not even close to what you’ve made! J:

Also, how do you even make those bit-crushed drums? Like the noise? For me, it only sounds like white noise, not like 8-bit noise… :s
Do you use the “Bit Depth” (sometimes has a different name, I think “Bit Range”?) on the bitcrusher?

I don't use that, I use Beepbox. It's online, and meant for music like that. I think for those I used the white or the retro drum option.
But now I use a modded version called ModBox. Here's a link to something I've made with it.: https://theepicosity.github.io/modded-b ... 41jjjjji00

Yeah, that's a long link.
