Alright guys, I'm working on a minimal track at the moment and was wondering if anyone had submitted any or worked on any music of the same genre. I could use some advice and some examples to be honest.

No problems if you haven't.... just wait for this threat to sink to the dark depths of the audio forum.

4.The most important:how do i make my own SFX?

I suggest you read the sticky threads at the beginning of the forum. Check out the threads at the top labeled something like "new to audio" or something. You should get all the answers you need.

Depends on what sort of desert style your going for. If you want that really hot baron style, i'd use shakers with plenty of delay and reverb with some arabian vocals and some dry sounding strings. It's all about onomatopoeia with instruments.

YOUR SHIT IS NOT THAT GOOD.

YOU DONT PUT ANY TIME INTO YOUR SUBMISSIONS.

No one is going to steal it and even if they did, you could make it again in less than a minute. Please, please please, just relax man.

I think thats a bit unfair man. Shadow's obviously proud of his music and worried about it being stolen. I have heard his music and agree that it is unlikely to be stolen, but stop putting him down man. Why not give him a little encouragement rather than just slating him.

And to the original message, you'll probably find that as all of the submissions on this site are dated it is easy to prove that your version was the original as anything stolen would obviously be used after this date. I wouldn't worry too much though, it's unlikely that someone would want to steal many of the newgrounds audio. There are much more professional sounding artists out there which make a bigger target.

Reason. Does the job.

I'm afraid I haven't got anything that would go particularly well for checkers, although I'm liking Rigs 'Standardize'. That seems like a good option to me.

What???

Let's all ignore those small time artists who have their songs just as good as the ones people mass 5 vote and suck cock over.

Lol, thats seriously bitter man. But I feel your pain.

Give writing your own beats a go. It's easy to use prewritten samples, but writing your own is much more rewarding.

If it's trancy with a little bit of drum and bass, you'll probably find it fits well under the game music category. But it's hard to tell without hearing it.

As we're on this topic... does anyone know where i'll find some decent free software for writing music?

I just wanted to submit a piece that i'd recorded with the school's recording system but i'm unsure if i should.

Hmmm, i'm not entirely sure but i think aslong as nothings been sampled you'll be alright...

Maybe even http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/7 9565 or http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/7 7802
Something from here might work, too.

Nice collection RigAudio. I'd imagine any of these would work fine. I'm afriad to say I haven't really got anything that would be of use to you, but Rig's stuff seems perfect.

I think that this is a good idea. I know that the music submitted in newgrounds isn't to professional standard, but then if it was, it wouldn't be on newgrounds. If anything i see this thread as a way to pass reviews on to each other. I know my music is pretty shitty, but I love the fact that people review it and try and criticise it to help me improve. I don't just 5 people for the sake of it, I give it a fair rating and then review. This place is all about improvement, and where better to do it.

I by no means see this thread as an advertisement, but more of an opportunity to help each other improve. By all means tell me if you disagree, but a review means more to me than a 5 rating.

I hope the song is what your after man, although strangely enough it seems to have the best rating out of all of my songs... maybe that has something to say about my compositions, lol.

Anyway i'm really pissed and it's 4:30 in the morning here, so nighty night.

On some of them I dont have the title to the artist and I was just gonna say like: "All music from newgrounds.com's audio portal."

Would that be credit enough?

If you want to be really polite, put a link to their music page after the video as well as their name.

Heres the link to it man... let me know if its not what your looking for and i'll delete it.

Linkin Park Song

Take it easy man, and I hoped this helped.

Just searched for linkin park midi in google. I made the piano sound more realistic though.

At 10/16/07 12:59 PM, MarcusRaven wrote: I have hoping to request an entirely piano arrangement of Linkin Park's What I've Done from Minutes to Midnight. Entire song in piano, giving it a softer and more somber feel, no vocals. I'd like to use it in an animation I'm making for Wizard World Texas coming up next month. Any body interested?

Ok, so I've basically used a midi file i found on the internet and put most of the instruments as a piano sound. It's technically a remix and not sampled so I can't be done for plagerism so just let me know if thats what you want and i'll post it to you or something.

It's not particularly great as I did it in about 30 seconds. But it's yours if you want it.

Sounds like a bit of a fusion to me. I'd probably stick it under industrial on newgrounds...

Apparently, if you don't really know what your doing... visuals are really hard to make. Best visuals i've found so far though is for winamp. It's called milk drop.

Awesome mate, I may just get in contact.

If only you would write a tutorial for reason... but in all seriousness, nice tutorial man. Should get the tunes flooding in soon.

Email me if you do. i want to get into the biz with voice overs.

i'm 17 female. so if you need a girls voice or any other voice. tell me what you want and i'll try to make it!

If I give you some words to speak do you reckon you could. I'm looking a young american lady to speak some dark but sexy lyrics over a techno tune i'm working on. If you reckon your the part could you PM me.

Cheers, Jimbobsthebest

I suggest you get yourself a copy of fruity loops or Reason or any other good program for creating digital music and get started for real.

I see what your saying and don't like it when people submit music from such programs but i don't think its against the rules. I'm pretty sure your legally allowed to sample 4 bars of any song before it becomes copy right. Sampling can also be used extremely creatively, so i'm not against sampling, although those prewritten loop sample programs do aggrovate me.

Could also use Audacity, but wavelab is just as good.

I remember seeing someone say like x number of dollers per x minutes of music composed so if anyone knows something to help price my music accordingly it would help out alot. As far as i know i think i made a pretty good deal, i told him that the beats are non exclusive so i can let others use the beat aswell and he agreed.

Good or bad deal?
What should i be charging?

Thanks alot
Greeksta

Sounds alright to me, as long as you've still got the rights to them. Depends on how long the beats are aswell. I think legally you are allowed to copy 4 bars of music before it legally becomes copyright. So if the beat was under 4 bars, he could have nicked them for free. I could be wrong though. Anyway... congrats on some extra money.

All depends on what you are looking for. If you looking for sound FX (I know you've probably tried already) but just google for sound FX. Also when it comes to looking for music it helps to have an idea of what your looking for. This will probably be a certain genre so try searching for music in the genre section.

Oh and remember to ask permission before using someones work. Even if it's not specifically the rules, it's just polite.

Hope this helps.
