Gameboy Rave

My first stab at fruityloops.

http://www.mp3unsigned.com/Showband.asp?id=309

I'm satisfied with the music; still struggling with the vast technical depth of these new tools...

Pooping_Panda · 02-20-2004, 06:33 PM

its pretty cool.....

i use fruity loops also....IM me if u want to know anything about it or sumthing....

Amfew · 02-20-2004, 06:37 PM

Ok. Any idea why, whenever I play it in stepmania, it chops/lags like it's running 10 instances of windows defragmenter? :0

I have no idea... but I can't make a stepfile out of it because of that. :/

its ok for a start, the lead synth sounds really annoying though
add a bit more percussion on your tracks, add some pads, and add some FX maybe

g0ldenSun11 · 02-20-2004, 08:42 PM

I like it, good joob!

**djaero** · 02-21-2004, 02:17 AM

Damn I'd really like to remix this. Send the flp to aero@aerogroove.com if you can. I'll post the mix back up here when its done.
If you want to keep the compisition to urself, its alright I understand.

Amfew · 02-21-2004, 08:53 AM

I'll send it. I'm interested in seeing what you'll do and I'll probably learn something.

WOAH! I just started up fruity loops, and i clicked play, and it started playing Rain Drops by Toby Emerson!

g0ldenSun11 · 02-21-2004, 12:30 PM

the guest was me

**djaero** · 02-21-2004, 06:01 PM

Here it is:
http://aerogroove.com/songs/remixes/..._The_Rocks.mp3

I didn't have a horribly large amount of time to do this, but I gave it a shot. Its kind of a housy tune, with an electric guitar for the lead, bass guitar for the... bass of course, and a nice strong 4/4 beat.
Enjoy

Amfew: Its a really great composition, that 4 years of midi experience really shows.

Amfew · 02-21-2004, 08:50 PM

That was cool. I love slap bass(it sounded like slap bass to me anyway) and electric guitar, but I suck at finding samples/don't really know how to generate the right sound with them.

And thanks. I'm glad I never have to touch midi again though.

What are you talking about? It doesn't sound annoying at all; unless you just really hate that classic videogame lead sound (or if you just completely hate the classic videogames.) No offense, but it actually sounds better than any of the work I've heard by you. I'd evaluate myself before speaking, if I were you.

[EDIT: or you may be just letting random lies that sound like advice fly out of your mouth (or finger tips, rather) in attempt to sound like you're good with advice and that you know what you're talking about. If this is the case, here's a little 'tip': it doesn't make you sound like you know what you're talking about.]

**Cenright** · 02-21-2004, 11:31 PM

Sounds like it actually came out of a gameboy. Good job.

**djaero** · 02-21-2004, 11:32 PM

Amfew: As a rule in general, the sounds in FL suck, so you really have to scourge the net for some good samples, or purchase a sample cd. And I noticed in your flp that you didn't use any synthesizers, are you familiar with vst?

Jono: I was thinking the same thing as you.

Edit: Thats crazy, there was 3 posts on this topic in a 3 minute span.

Amfew · 02-22-2004, 11:39 AM

Hmm, vst? Nope. Not at all. :/

I tried a whole lot of different things, but I ended up doing the melody and bass using the ramp saw, both on the same channel even (because I need to see both at the same time for harmony's sake). After I made it modulate in a certain way, it sounds exactly like the saw used in romancing saga and mystic quest boss battles. I couldn't resist. :0

And yeah, the standard floops samples seem like they would be perfect for certain things... just not what I need usually.

Soundfonts are pretty easy to find, but they kill my CPU even when the poly is pretty low. I have yet to find any good wav samples but... I recently ripped a bunch of samples from spcs with cool old-school ones(Final Fantasy series, Megaman X series etc) which I'll have fun with for a while.

So... nope, not familiar with vst.

eyespewgreekfire: It's strange, because CIA rave actually gave me the idea to make this in the first place.

**Moogy** · 02-22-2004, 01:23 PM

Aero's remix sounds cool... Wish I could listen to the original, but mp3unsigned.com crashes Mozilla due to wildly invalid code everywhere.

**SpookG** · 02-22-2004, 02:54 PM

it also crashes me with IE...ha..

Amfew · 02-22-2004, 04:38 PM

I signed up for mp3unsigned because it was my only resort in getting it hosted, unfortunately.

**djaero** · 02-22-2004, 05:58 PM

You can go to Soundclick.com for free music webosting, its probably the biggest unsigned artists community right now, with the downfall of mp3.com and all.

...And the vsti's, they are basically software synthesizers. You can use them to generate sounds. For example, in FL when u go to add a channel it gives you a menu of what types of channels you can add, the ts404 and 3xosc among others are vst synths. You can adjust the parameters of these synths to create your sounds. Generally synths are used for all the intrumental parts of the songs, and samples for the drums and percussion. The best way to learn about the vsts is to experiment with them, so add a couple ts404 channels and play around with it, and you will understand what i mean. You can also download more synthesizers off the net, my favorites are Albino, Slayer 2 (Thats where i got the guitar in the remix), Vanguard, Superwave, so you might want to try those out.
(vsts go in the c:/program files/Flstudio/Plugins/Vst folder)

There is one more kind of vst that creates effects, when you go into fruity and add an effect in the mixer those are all vsts, and likewise u can get more off the net.

Hoped that helped.

edit: what program did u use to rip the samples from the spcs? I've been looking for a good one.

JustJono · 02-22-2004, 06:15 PM

Probably computer mic and a NES..
