Beer_Suitcase posted:

I'm not opposed to AI helping. I use AI to rip all the vocals off the tracks I use on my song, and I tried to use ChatGPT to help with the lyrics a bit. The problem is that AI does not know how to sing or talk. It can't take a existing song and just transmute it into a Christmas version of the same song that is really doable.

But I'd say if you have all the words or you make all the music and use AI to help, it's still your work with just some help. I don't know how to write music and if I had a way make take my lyrics and have a computer make a song around it, I'd be ok with that.

I'm almost done with my song, I've made a temp track. sounds p good soo far... i mean imma do it again and make the vocals better and take out my breathing, but for a fist pass it think it sounds..... good, the singing wibbles not withstanding. as a first pass i dont mind it. but you have mo better ears so whats should i do to improve?

for this one i really just made sure my gain levels were good as to not sound tooooo loud but im not an audio engineer. i just want my vocals to sound like they belong on the track, not just blasted on top of it


Edit: I think the music needs to be louder

If you go to soundtrap.com and make an account I can add you as a collaborator and you can tweak things.

I can't buy a lot for Christmas
Only patch points fill my need
Just more modules in my own rack
Blinking like a Christmas tree
I just want an LFO
More than you could ever know
Credit bills are due
I'm bankrupt because of 3U

I love a good lyric swap. Christmas Mummy still terrifies my kiddo but I love it and Good King Wenceslas is a "Christmas Standard" so you can sing it at karaoke or if it comes over the Muzak at the store

I've done it twice. I did the lyrics for Who Wants to Open Presents and in an earlier year had written The Sack.

Brutal Garcon posted:

This needs to happen now.

I'm still working on writing the rest of this year's Santa Odin story. I also need to get off my rear end and finish putting Holidays together, but at least I've got all of it thanks to Grammarchist and my cat is norris. I hit writer's block with this year's Santa Odin but I think I've finally got the rest of where I needed to go with it. If I can finish getting it written within the next couple days I can record it and have it in by the deadline on Friday.

I did an exploratory attempt because, well it's a banger.

Based on my meter and reading there are parts of the "I'm going the distance" chorus that make it lumpy but it's not impossible but you will have to rhyme through the whole instrumental at the end to make it all fit.

I do have a whole other song to finish, and I'll take a stab at it myself. I believe in you Brutal Garcon

I used this one
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43171/a-visit-from-st-nicholas

I've also found that karaoke tracks have backing vocals on the chorus so I'd just rip the audio off something and use the music.

In the most positive way I can say it, I don't care. :shobon: Take it as follows:

"Try to get it in by the end of the 15th in your timezone, but if you need some more time, that's fine. Just kind of aim for that date the best you can."

If it's released around the general timeframe, that's fine. I'll do a 'last call' kind of thing beforehand, so keep an eye out for that if you know you'll be running late.

I've been busy, but I'll catch up with the last few tracks posted as soon as I can. As for how many have been posted so far, I'll take a quick look and edit this post with the track count.

Edit: 20 by my count, is that right?

Lyrics:


Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo


Sleds Packed up this mornin
The North Pole, you know it it's snowing
we work for free
aint got time for a vacation
our only motivation
is helping santa fill the world with glee


And He makes you smile, with a gift for you
Do ever what you wanna do, this coming yule
Keep on smiling, but please know this
hes gotta list and i think hes always watching

passin out gifts bassed on what he observes
making all the toys for good boys n girls
Come tell him whats on your lsit
We make them the things you wish , she said


I am Santa's elf
Doing good for someone else
Christmas time is my life, baby, baby
I am Santas elf
Im helping the big guy with tooooys


Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo


The sky was cold made a big ole snowman
with a carrot for a nose

And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
back when he was dancnging in the street
a simple magic hat is just enough to do the trick


It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock
with a egg nog rhythm, a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the nog that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again
I said


I know you are asking
how we find the right gift just for you
how does santa know just what to put under the tree


I am Santa's elf
Doing good for someone else
CHristmas time is my life, baby, baby
I am Santas elf Ill helping the big guy with tooooys


I believe in the snow beneath my boots
i hope everyones on the good list
that no one ever gets coal

i know naughty kids are bad on the inside
everyone is good if you just try
And that would be alright, alright


And when the Fog came in,santa worried crashing
no way to navigate the city ,
then all the reindeer refused to fly
Now were struggling to survive
haliday is in distress
some one here has to save christmas
Lil red Rainder passed the test,
weird glowing nose helped guide through the darkness


One


And you hold me,
and you are hoping
I think might her the jingle beels
Feel yourself, heading off to sleep
through the chimmny he'll be creep
Ho, Ho
its magic just for one night
milk n cookies washed down with smile
and it will be alright, alright


I am Santa's elf
Doing good for someone else
CHristmas time is my life, baby, baby
I am Santas elf Ill helping the big guy with tooooys

Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo-doo doo

The sky was cold made a big ole snowman
with a carrot for a nose

And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
back when he was dancnging in the street

quote:

Merry Gear Rising: The Nick of Time


God was the biggest trickster of them all
when I brought joy and asked for joy
for all the children without fault
a simple bishop trapped in endless toil
I wanted more and I got more
than I would ever bargain for

the Christmas Eve, repeating without end
I do the work forever cursed
to never see the day
feel my mind fading away (feel my mind fading away!)
the houses blur together
nothing cold can stay

Ho, ho, ho! Alone I rise
through the longest night, dawn never breaking
Yeah, yeah, yeah! A vow built on lies
bringing a rotten delight of my own making
and every house and cycle ends with asking why
in the nick of time

In all your letters, all your cards
it’s a panopticon of vice
I’ve seen into your little hearts
and no one's ever really nice
you’ll get your packages and treats
you’ll get your conflict chocolate trees
next year the exact same deceit
the hunger never disappears

I am a party to crime (I cannot fully understand!)
with future blood I pay
to blind a wounded world
I am a party to sorrow (weeping cannot symbolize!)
the trick of God was not on me
I am the herald

Ho, ho, ho! On my crimson sleigh
see every soul astray, follow every kid
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Got nothing more
but rust and coal for the wicked
And at Mach 5 you might just see me passing by
in the nick of time
The Nick of Time, the Nick of Time!
(whoo-oh!)
The Nick of Time!
