WM Beatbox for FFR

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

One problem with this, the tempo is close to a static BPM, but it changes just an oh so little bit. Its gonna be hard to syn this.

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

Yea, I noticed that. Its hard to keep exact BPM when beatboxing and such. I do give permission to somebody to fix the BPM in this, if they can.

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

ehh its alright but i dn there seems to be too many gaps in between beats and it goes off beat a few times but good work beatboxing is hard

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

Thanks. Im usually better with fast DnB, like secret zombie room. Although, I wanted to do something nice and easy. Partly due to Im sick, and partly due to me wanting to have a slow song for once. hahaha. Thank you though.

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

Honestly I don't think this would be a very good song to go on ffr. It's not a bad job by any means, but the file would be rather boring, and it's pretty slow and long.

Not to mention keeping ttis file synced would be really tough.

Although, if you are better at faster stuff, i suggest uploading some faster stuff for us to check out.

That, or try using a metronome with headphones when you record, so that you can try to keep a steady tempo.

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

I could try that. I just thought that maybe you guys would like something slow. A lot of people are like, "Thats too fast! I cant do *INSERT* to that!". :P. I'll wait for some more replies. I think I did pretty good.

Mind you, I need to find AA batteries, before I can record again. Unless I use my PC mic, which does a sutible job but I dont fancy it.

EDIT: If you guys get on Vidchat right now, I could rip a fast beatbox for you and you guys can tell me what sounds better.

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

Bump. Does anyone know how I could hook up a dynamic mic to my PC and be able to record through it? I'm buying a new mic. I once bought some adapter to do this method of recording but it never seemed to work. Could have been my mic at the time.

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

i just heard the song lol and yea its slow and could be varied more in beats but like you said you were sick so its cool

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

lol get a mixer. send your mic through that, and then to the computer. i dont trust adapters

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

Metronome. It's entirely possible to maintain a relatively constant BPM doing this, just as it is in live instruments or singing.

Incidentally, I didn't like this one bit. Quality was terrible, and even the "music" of it just wasn't very good. To be frank, there is a reason why a person playing a rhythm instrument like, say, a drum set, isn't generally also responsible for melody. It simply is something outside the range of the average person, even those who are musically inclined. If anything, I would say what you do would be better to focus on the rhythm element and overlay something else in, like someone else rapping or maybe some sort of light melodic instrument.

Something else: what's with the purism for not layering? It can show off skill to do that (I myself don't think I could ever keep a beat and use humming or throat sounds like these beatbox folks), but it's not necessarily conducive to the listening element of it. If the goal is something which is more listenable, a little bit of layering/processing can help things a lot.

Even so, first step I would suggest is working out some other way of recording the audio, because again, that quality is terrible.

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

Yea, I know. Sorry about the quality. I'm working on something to fix that. Uhm, do you know some good CHEAP mixers? :P

Re: WM Beatbox for FFR

I kinda like it. Not fast enough. Try again when you are not sick. I would love to hear a perfected version of this where it is faster, keeps a fairly steady beat, and feels smoother.
