Post finished or WIP stuff you've done!Oh my god I love that synth so much.
https://soundcloud.com/ollistarmusic/thechip1 I just dropped the first track of a series that will eventually be the soundtrack to a cheesy over the top cyberpunk buddy cop-esque film (with data smugglers instead of cops) my friends and I will be making.
Very tasty.Thanks guys.
I'm going to tie you up and throw you into a basement one day and force you to make music for my shitty games.
:umbrella:
I've begun to make music for my game.
But it doesn't sound very good, since I'm trying to learn from scratch.
Do you have any advice?
Are you asking what experience I've had with music before?I've begun to make music for my game.

Well first off, what's your musical background like?

Almost none. I sang in the male choir in highschool, and that was it.
Like I said, I'm learning from scratch.

Okay, well for starters you'll want to learn piano since that's what most programs are gunna be based around. You don't have to be great at playing it by any means but at least know what keys are what notes. (sidenote: What program are you using/planning to use?)
Also you should definitely learn some music theory. Again, you don't have to be Igor Stravinsky or anything but knowing scales, how chords work, and even stuff like relative majors and minors will only help you. I'm sure your local uni or community college has a basic theory or something of the sort, if you're attending school. There's also PLENTY of info online if you're not enrolled somewhere or would just rather give a little extra effort to avoid some cost.
Best of luck my up and coming musical kiwi! :yay:
Sexy as [that thing you like] :sing:
http://puu.sh/gg3OV/f518652417.mp3I...damn.
Another track to that soundtrack is well underway! Peep it while it's fresh, fam!
I wonder if they'd let you practise in there if you were a black metal band instead.
:laugh:
I really like this rendition, but the intro seems a little bit off.Probably. I wasn't really trying. I didn't even use headphones.
The violin just sounds kind of...flat?
Getting some shmup vibes from this
http://puu.sh/hx7jO/4ff36efc66.mp3
This one sounds like something out of a ps1 jrpg!
いい歌だよ! :wave:
We could of used a theme song when the API RANGERS were still together!
http://puu.sh/iAtIV/dca98f5dfd.mp3That sounds nice !
Started working on a sentai team theme type thing!
I'm going to use one of your songs in one of my videos some day if that's okay with you :heart:
DAW s are easy to pirate. What are you waiting for?
http://puu.sh/iZ6kq/e5e6193fb6.mp3
This one makes me mad nostalgic, the reason being that the timbre of one of this track's constituents sort of sounds like a reed pipe, which is bodacious, yo. Y'know what I'm sayin'?
Check it:

Walk around your neighborhood while playing this on a ghetto blaster. That'd be the bomb. It's important that your boombox be red and that you have ice tips, or else things just won't be as radical, okay?
Do you need to be smart to make music?
Or understand musical theory?
Or notes?
Very neat Olli, as usual
The first thing I noticed was something lewd on the left in the background of that picture. Well at least it looks lewd to me.
Is this... a bot? Of some kind?When I browsed API on mobile, I got a prompt to browse it using tapatalk.
There was another account that randomly posted a while back, just once, with the same taptalk thing but in English

how do you make-a the music?
Like, program? I kind of want to try experimenting
can't be that different from video editing, right? :poh:
Anyway, good. It totally fits what you were going for.
It also kind of makes me think of like, a "Hangar" theme that'd play between missions in the garage and mail screens in an armored core game.

Ollistar on vocalsye
FL Studio is one
Put a donk on it^
Hey Ollistar, me and Pomfwall will be working on a video, and I was wondering if we could use one of your songs as a backing track to cut the silence when neither of us art talking?
If you don't mind, then is there a song you would suggest? It doesn't have to be any particular style (ill-fitting is funny to us), but it should either be long enough or easily loopable enough for a 5-10 minute video.
If you're not interested, i'll just look up some royalty free music, so no biggie either way. :laugh:

Sure thing! I'll post some things, some of which I may not have even put out anywhere. Also if you ever have anything in particular in mind lemme know and I can whip it up real quick.
http://puu.sh/kCCAS/2ab1089dbd.mp3 This is silly and might loop decently.
http://puu.sh/k3OkX/99479e8ee5.mp3 Also never used and could probably loop. Toonami sort of feel.
http://puu.sh/k6HDX/15997f796f.mp3 probably never use this ever but I'm placing it here for your.... uh, amusement.
http://puu.sh/k5ogH/bf134cf0ee.mp3 Cyberpunky "Little Neo-Tokyo" type thing.
http://puu.sh/jVJoZ/4b6650801e.mp3 Some weather channel-y muzak. If you like this I can extend it a tad/finish it up
http://puu.sh/jqJvW/edadb7408d.mp3 This is made with a sample of my friend going "uh" so it probably wouldn't get caught by the copyright police?
http://puu.sh/jn6M8/889113a64e.mp3 I-It's a cover! F-fair use, r-right? (actually this is kind shitty so probably don't use it)
http://puu.sh/j92wO/f3e3efb315.mp3 bossa nova
http://puu.sh/j4Ew7/6a6f400c6f.mp3 This could be fleshed out more and made to loop
http://puu.sh/iIFVU/709eec032c.mp3 WACKY ANIME WOOOOAAAHH OOOOH OOOOOOP AAAAAH
http://puu.sh/leAOk/07ead76a1e.mp3 see: above discription (though honestly not nearly as wacky)
https://soundcloud.com/ollistarmusic/all-work-no-play not sure how loopable but I always really liked this tune.
https://soundcloud.com/ollistarmusic/the-end-is-here I've also always really enjoyed this song. It's a bit more serious and I made it on new years having just come to terms with/figured out a bunch of stuff in my life. This is a song of completion.Kinda old but I think it doesn't hold up too badsame as above
https://soundcloud.com/ollistarmusic/wrong-part-of-town-cps2-original pretty loopable I hope cause capcom and what not
https://soundcloud.com/ollistarmusic/ape-escape-galaxy-monkey-re-arrange and once again, cover/remix type deal so if you want to try it go ahead
Welp. That was way longer than I planned, but you've got a very wide range of options so I hope something fits.
if you wanted to flesh out "Some weather channel-y muzak" a bit, that's probably my favorite one that isn't too obtrusive, but don't feel pressured!
Everyone laugh at this nerd and his aesthetic.
tfw you will never be talented like this
Whoa someone on API actually has talent, that's unexpected. :yay:
Oh my God, it's throat singing with a southern accent :laugh:

Sounded cool up until 0:07. Like you had a good first bar
I've been debating getting on adderall lately. I'm just worried about potential side effects.
Oh well I don't really sleep well currently and could use losing a few pounds... :nyoron:
I already have prior diagnosis for ADD so I could easily be given it. The main side effects I saw were Weight Loss, Loss of Appetite and Trouble Sleeping, which are all either benefits or negligible for me.

Same actually. I think the big thing is that it just feels kind of weird going in to my doctor and being like "hey give me drugs," you know?
feeling when adderall / amphetamine is almost illegal here(http://b.1339.cf/atfsmei.gif)
Drugs won't dig you out of a hole of depression nor anxiety that shit not that hard to overcome. Just kinda change the way you think of everything as a negative and just let the good times roll!
the lifting guys part is funny :laugh:^
Yeah he was obviously the one who wasn't being mean or pitious or having an ulterior motive, he was just trying to help in the way he knew how and then told him it'd be okay, nice guy all around :love:
I may use that vocal sample sometime.

at this rate i'll be the next ollistar before ming can even draw an alice :laugh:
It's coming along kiddo

there is still like so many things I don't know about basic song composition, the sort of stuff that I wouldn't even know what i'm missing to look for a tutorial, if that makes sense? Like I know so little that I don't know what i'm doing wrong?
But, on the other hand, i'm finally learning the interface.
I'd suggest finding basic theory stuff. Theory is super important in composition. You def won't need anything to advanced but you'll want to understand basic chords, keys, and how melodies work.
I spent 4 hours on this
It obviously falls apart near the end but I feel like some of the parts are at least more focused than my first songs?
By the last while of making it I was sleep deprived and couldn't think of anything so it's just terrible.
https://a.pomf.cat/uxabqx.mp3
thanks, his video about music theory actually helped me visualize the very basics
also; daily minute: https://a.pomf.cat/fpftxs.mp3
someone was talking about breakbeat so I "tried it" and then halfway through I found out about chords and "Tried it" and I'm not very happy with the final product compared to yesterday's but oh well :damn:
http://puu.sh/nDxnf/f8092bc09f.mp3
Been kinda depressed lately. Have some sad shit I started. And feel free to accept my apology about the sounds themselves being shitty, they need replaced. The music is nice tho.
I liked it
That's way better than the shit you were putting out before
How'd you improve so quickly?
It's okay.I liked it

http://puu.sh/nGTKu/b163d9876e.mp3 something a tad different
also here: https://a.pomf.cat/znthgy.mp3
Also I made a sexy smooth funky funk.
http://puu.sh/nHNqy/4543e9a8bc.mp3
Tell me what I should improve
Thank you!
It's most definitely not vaporwavr at all. However, it does make a very pleasant ambient drone piece.Tell me what I should improve
For starters stop making vaporwave.
This was a pretty fun tune overall.
+the chords were pretty nice, IIRC think I heard some suspended chords with their resolutions which was
-towards the end it got a little polyrhythmic, which isn't inherently bad obviously, but here it felt unintentional
Hey Worthy, you might find this useful. It has a player so you there's no need to download the mp3.
https://clyp.it/
Explain these?
+the chords were pretty nice, IIRC think I heard some suspended chords with their resolutions which wasI thought I heard use of suspended chords, so the third being raised up a whole step, then it being resolved, so lowering back a whole step to your standard triad.
-towards the end it got a little polyrhythmic, which isn't inherently bad obviously, but here it felt unintentionalpolyrhythms are just multiple rhythms going at once, maybe even multiple time signatures, it can be clashing at times, though you can use the clashing to your advantage. Here however, it felt unintentional and therefore didn't work as I assume it was entirely unintentional.
You're definitely improving. Music production and composition is a lot like playing an instrument, it takes time to get good at. Just make sure you do it a little everyday, people don't think about "practising" production and stuff like you would an instrument but it's no different. Progress in these areas can be hard to see as they are so gradual, like how you don't see evolution as it's happening, but in a year's time you'll be able to look back and be embarrassed that you even made half the shit you did. Thus is the nature of the artist. (I'd show you some of mine had I not deleted all of them. I think if you scroll to the bottom of my SoundCloud there's still some shit lying around)
A fun little exercise I like to do is I'll remake a song I like from scratch by ear. Even if the final product doesn't match it sonically, I make sure the composition lines up to the best of my ability. It's a fun little work of the brain and often times there will be at least one thing I really like and take to use in a song of my own. I usually don't post these anywhere and often times won't even save them. They're just for practice. Maybe give it a shot some time.
I liked that one oli. Never heard the normal song before but it's pretty catchy. Feels like a song I could use as a alarm to wake up since it has a good happy vibe to it. Cool work! :sparkle:
I just listened to the original song and I totally like your one more. Has more of a playful sound if that makes any sense to you.
Guitar feels very out of place
Sounds kinda like Wavvesi know
http://puu.sh/oxgbD.m4a
Recorded from a shitty multi-effects pedal. I might recreate it in an actual DAW and add some synths and a more varied drum track. If I can figure that stuff out. :poh:
Minus the recording quality this is really really good Plein :heart:

Please make a longer version of this, with just instrumental. I'd love it. It sounds great, but I just start getting into it and it ends.
That's probably the best work you've done so far Olli
