President Ark posted:So since you have insider information, tell me this: Thirty seven. Also since the thread's here, and letting this gem get drowned out when EoA5 gets released, I might as well post it now. It was posted in the fanart thread but not as many people read that at all. The homestuck fanmusicians made a Jailbreak album! It's all chiptunes  http://homestuckgaiden.bandcamp.com/album/jailbreak-vol-1 First two tracks aren't too amazing, but everything from then on is great. There's a fair few bonus tracks for downloading it (it's free, just type 0.00 for the price!), and my favorite tracks are Title Screen, Assail, and Jackknive. Either way go listen to it while we wait for the flash.

Paracelsus posted:The horns are a tougher case, because I'm not sure that an element of a character taken in isolation is sufficiently delineated to qualify as copyrightable. If they sold Mario's hat with the trademark M on it it's sue-able. Most likely twelve candy-corn horns in the identical shape of twelve characters from the same comic they've already ripped off counts too.

A good poster posted:At first, I thought time dilation was stretching three nanoseconds from Hussiebot's point of view to three years from the kids' point of view, because they were traveling at really, really close to the speed of light. After a glance at the Wikipedia page for time dilation, I think I got the effect reversed. Now I don't know what the hell's going on. Nah, I think my friend told me mspa forums worked out hussie did it backwards for some reason, probably explained by it not being our real universe and creative license. Also they worked out that the distance the ship was travelling wasn't exactly a foot due to it coming out of the middle of the windows. Basically incredible nitpicking.

Hamiltonian Bicycle posted:Speaking of Homestuck-related music, Alexander Rosetti ended up posting his Squiddle-themed Christmas story "A Plumbthroat Christmas" on its own after all, if a bit late. Go have a listen, it's all very festive. Oh, hey, Voidburger, a goon voiced it! I want to listen but it's 2am and I don't think I want something like homestuck for the holidays or the squiddle album stuck in my head for the night. I'll check it in the morning though!

Don't know how many of you have seen this, but it's by BlahStudios who makes amazing homestuck typography videos. It's a collaboration called "The shipping wall", 20 minutes of typography videos of all the relationships in homestuck. Some of it's a bit silly, but, yknow, shippers. Anything made by Blah though is generally not mushy and instead pretty dang cool. You can tell some of the people in the video aren't as good as editing as others, but it's still nice. Part I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6KmtOgYxYI&hd=1 Part II https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RF3ML4jMEUc&hd=1 Edit: For those who don't want to watch 10/20 minutes of footage or want to see some of BlahStudio's nonshipping stuff, here's some other great videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpdFUQK0HcE&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SttG15EEgyQ Jewel fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Dec 29, 2011 |

This morning and while SA I was down I picked up Famitracker and taught myself how to use it. I'd never made music before or transposed anything, nor actually read a sheet of music in over four years, but I think this turned out pretty neat I made a NES version of Beatdown I guess? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9p9gXOiZEU&hd=1

Paul.Power posted:Nice job Awesome Is there any resources I can read on to help me compose music? I want to make happy little chiptunes but I can never make music that sounds anything that isn't a random bunch of notes. I understand chords and minor scales and stuff but I don't understand how to compose a solid line of notes to work with. I can't even compose my own drum beat. How do most people start with stuff like this? With drawing, some people start with a scribble and work from there. How can I do the same with art? I've never been a creative person in life, and have devoted a lot of time to maths and programming instead, but I want to learn to make music, since it would really be a cool talent to have.

Renaissance Robot posted:I'm actually pretty surprised that the Musician's Lounge doesn't have a thread for that. There's primers on specific instruments and stuff at the top (most of which boil down to "find a teacher") and a thread on sound replication, but nothing I can find about composition. Hmh. I listen to music pretty much all the time, but yeah, I'll try doing that and not just listen to it but study the note patterns as said above. I've had no creativity in life, constantly failed english, never was able to draw, but I've always been good at recreating things with vectors and programming, so learning something creative is a little difficult. I like how I don't ever have problems with technicalities though due to the way I think. I learnt the entirety of how to use Famitracker, my first tracker, in a day, just like I've learnt almost entire programming languages in a day. My mind works really mechanically as it seems yours does (well you are a robot~ ), and that's most likely the reason I've never been too creative, because I try and break everything down into logic or mathematics. I'll try all this out and hopefully have something to show for it one day Edit: I suppose I should also mention I have a piano keyboard and I was trained in super basic piano about.. six or more years ago, so while I don't quite remember how to play, I can still read notes, which is nice. I might get it out and screw around with it some time, also maybe try and learn some homestuck songs! Edit2: vvv And that's where I fall through. I can get technique right all the time. I even give people tips on how to draw properly and shade properly and how to learn new skills, even though I don't know these skills myself, and the advice almost always works, since it's based in logic. I don't know how to force myself to think creatively, and that's why I'm asking for resources. I can't take that first step and view the world in a new way after being grounded like this for so long~ Jewel fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Jan 6, 2012 |

Well Manicured Man posted:I'd suggest musictheory.net but that doesn't really help much for creativity problems. Coming up with original melodies is hard for everyone, and that's probably why I do so much Homestuck fan music. If you're desperate, you can take your chord progression and your scale and plop down notes on them and rearrange them until you get a melody. But when it comes to me, sometimes I end up thinking, "I've heard a melody that goes kind of like this before, but what if I play it on horns instead of strings, maybe with a different countermelody, and change up this phrase in the middle?" Creativity is about taking things you've heard or seen before and thinking of a new way to realize them. Thanks! Also, I shut down, got in bed, then remembered I needed to ask you a question. Where in the world did you get all your instrument samples (I need to get my hands on all of them), and what program do you use?

Loden Taylor posted:e: Since I'm in teacher mode, I'll keep going. When you listen, don't just passively hear the music, actively pick it apart with your ears. Listen for melodic contour: where does the melody rise? Where does it fall? Is it moving stepwise or by leaps? Listen for structure: what is the form of the music? What are the repeated sections? Are they the same each time, or are there variations? How would you map it out - if you call the first section A, the second B, and so on, what would it look like? ABABA? ABCBA? ABA'BA? Also listen for dynamics. Where does the music get louder, and where is it softer, and to what effect? Go ahead and take notes, and as your understanding of music theory deepens, revisit songs you've listened to and see what new things you can hear. Hahah, last thing I'll say on the matter for a while, since you guys gave me more than enough information (Thanks so much!) but I accidentally did this last night before I read your post. I say accidentally because I was laying in bed TRYING to sleep but music just kept drifting into my head and forcing me to analyse it a little. I ended up not being able to sleep until 3am :T I'll definitely check out a book or two if I can find them, and also WellManicuredMan, thanks for the suggestion on the EQWL. I'll check if a friend has it (I've never really known what I was specifically looking for, so I couldn't ask) for me to play around with, and if not, I might get it when I'm a bit better in a few months time.

Well Manicured Man posted:I figured I'd better make some progress on my contest entrant Homestuck starts up again and I lose all my willpower. It's not fully mixed and mastered yet (as you can tell), but I've got the general composition down pat. Also, you just reminded me. Even if you somehow manage to not get a place in the contest (or even if you do), you should try and talk to the homestuckgaiden.bandcamp people and see if you can get your own fanalbum up some time! It'd give you a lot more of a fanbase and a greater chance that you'll maybe even be able to sell some non-homestuck albums a lot easier after homestuck is finished! Edit: vvv That'd be fine; as long as you keep linking them here! I don't have a Tumblr because I have too much to worry about than checking yet another social networking site every few minutes, so I can't follow you on it.
