YOU'LL NEVER TAKE MY MOJO!

Or challenge me to a space jam.

Awws ; ; Foiled again!

WITH THE POWER OF STEAM!


I need all the mojo I can get.

Wooow....i really like it a lot ^^....hrm...what sort of scale did you use, or do you just kinda go with whatever sounds good to you? and i dunno why, but i can see a strings piece fitting well underneath that, like...just an octave of the first note ringing out in the form of strings or something....uber nice piece^^

I'm a big fan of overtones. I don't really know too many scales, so I play it by ear. I forget what note it was based around but my goal was to use "all white keys" and make it sound "not quite as sad as everything else."

Ah...i see...hrms. well, if your using all the white keys, your technicly using a minor and a major at the same time.( its really complex so ill speare the details lol )it more or less depends on what not you start on. Like, if you were using all the white keys, and started on C then that would be C major. i dont know what the minor of the white keys is...i think it might be A( So, if A minor is the one that uses all the white keys as well, if you were to start on the note A, your song would sound sadder....i think...its uber confusing stuff music theory ) i dont know what happens if you start on other notes though when using the white keys, i guess it depend on which which note you use most commonly to conclude a riff or something. lol. though, either way, one doesnt need to learn scales nessicerily to play well, doing it by ear is still music theory in a way, your just learning it in a more ear trained sense^^;;;

Yeah, I've had classes with music theory, they completely explained what MAKES it minor or major...I just don't care. I just understand half step here makes it sad, halfstep THERE makes it happy. It's all I need.

ah, i see. hehe, good point there indeed

Generally speaking, putting notes together that sound good is kind of easy. I'm actually a lot more interested in designing the sounds.

Yeah, i actually know what you mean there...though i unfortunately havent any expirience in it myself. closest i guess i am to that would be my friend showing me how to properly edit music in audacity lol

Oh well. I've been trying to figure out how to use the synth programs in FL to create my own sounds.

Hrm...i heard a new version of FL just came out, i think seven or something. I dont know much about like...forming specific tones or anything, but you could always just add a bunch of effects to some of the more base sounds, changing how strong the effects on it are to make some...then just load it as another instrument in FL

Yeah FL 7, a friend of mine has been using a cracked beta version for a few months.

In plugins like SimSynth, 3xOsc, Sytrus, Wasp, and Wasp XT you can tell it the type of waveform to use. You can alter certain ways the waveform will change. On sytrus you can probably get the most detail into the waves, 3xOsc is pretty much the barebones utility version, wasp has wave forms and filtering, wasp xt has a little bit more control on filters.

It's not THAT complex once you know how some of it works. I suggest you play around with nobs.

ah...hrms...im surprised i actually understand what you said XD they were pretty sweet stuff though, i think my favorite was sytrus personally, they had a lot of arpish stuff...>_> im kind of a sucker for arps myself o_o i think that i think confused me the most about FL was the recording aspects and the little graph that goes along with each instrument.

The piano roll?

To record a soft synth all you need to do is have it open press record press play and have at it. Or just right click and open the piano roll. It simply places notes.


Or the playlist which is just placing each pattern made inthe appropriate location. It's actually really simple once you figure it out.

well i mean recording as in, inserting vocal tracks, or a real guitar line that you physically play yourslef.

I don't have any inputs set up in FL, I've never even tried recording in it. I record in Audacity and just move the files into fl.

Soo very nice. Love this one!

I'm glad you like!

...as if my computer wasn't slow enough already!

Still, this is some very nice stuff. It's a bit repetitive, which gives it a hypnotic quality. I like the use of overtones a lot, too. It's frankly addicting.

Well goody! I like trying to write different kinds of music.

Its not very often that I listen to an FA submission and FORGET I'm not listening to my own collection of music. Thats a major accomplishment :D

You've got my +watch and +favage for this piece alone ^ ^

I don't know why I never responded to this. It must have gotten missed or checked as read withotu noticing.

Thanks. That's a great compliment. I'd really prefer my music to sound like it's something people would already be listening to.

Oh man, delightful melody, I love it!

Use it to put your computer to sleep(mode) at night!

Just don't let the alarm clock hear, if it falls asleep you'll be s.o.l. in the morning!
