Official Discussion Thread (Ghost Edit)

Sports, politics, movies, videogames, questionable hobbies, photos from your family vacation, etc. Talk about stuff that isn't ponies or music. But do try to stay on topic and respectful of alternate opinions.

not to mention our links are most likely higher quality

Uhm, I do o3o...
I mean, sometimes I can only get something from such a site.

And sometimes I do go out of my way massively to get the music of a veeeery infamous producer off of a site like this, so yeah xD

i am having a ton of fun adding random samples into my music and making them sound natural and blend with the music. I am doing a teeny tiny amount of vox in a song I am currently working on, but on another song I made recently, I used at least 5 samples that meshed nicely and smootly throughout the song. Which someone commented to me about how he liked the ambience that the samples made.
I like using them because they fill up frequency space. :3
here is an example song: https://soundcloud.com/noah-l-kriska/winter-crisp-20
there are about 4 water samples in the beginning and then also some bird samples. In the middle and towards the end was some police sirens samples I used.
I am going to continue to toot my horn a bit so I'll put it in a spoiler.
Spoiler toot:
I swear im not trying to be conceited, but I love this song. I had a decently good amount of fun making it. I liked how crisp the snare came out and how chill the song flow is. I also like the melody I made that comes in towards the end of the song. I think its lovely and something that would make a younger me very happy and feel-good. (the me that used to listen to melodic music) It kind of reminds me of the melodic music I used to listen to when i first became a brony. This stuff is trance-like and I love that kind of music.I think that the mastering and mixing on this song is also one of my bests. I had a difficult time getting the bass to be present, but not over enforcing. I managed it somehow kind of, in a way that makes me happy. its not just like a super-wall of bass, but instead a support wall for the higher melodies. i am basically glad about the result of this song.


and finally, here is a private link to the song I submitted to the brony areospace music contest if you want to hear it. Its not what it currently sounds like, but its pretty much the same. I only made a few minor changes that your probably would not really notice. https://soundcloud.com/noah-l-kriska/candlyland/s-pBTbq

Just a little feedback on the first song, I think it'd be a lot better if you played with the structure of he intro a little. Going straight to 4/4 kicks is a little boring imo, I like intros that're a little more explorative. It works just fine though, I just woulda done it differently.


Also song is nice good job

Aaaannddddd, ill actually do that. Seeing that nobody has downloaded it and it has less than 10 plays despite being up for a couple days, I see no problem in doing this. im making the song private. here is a link to the song if you wanted to listen to it and the original link does not work. https://soundcloud.com/noah-l-kriska/wi ... 20/s-KEfjF
biggles, you're a genius



(instead of making another post, im adding to this one.)
Spoiler im really happy guys:
its weird to think that when I joined this forum, I wasnt even able to produce music. And then after a while, I started trying and my music sounded like crap. and to think that my skills have improved as much as they have, its kind of weird to think about. Literally, you guys were the only people there from my very beginning. I feel like a child presenting something to his parents whenever I show you all my music, just because you all know (or at least had the opportunity to know) where I started at and where I have moved to.
literally, started at nothing and worked up to placing in music competitions. (well, just one, but still)
I just feel like a special person right now.

I will have the free will to go to a brony convention in approximately...never.

Actually, college is under two years away, so I may be able to then. But until then, not happening.

I wound but literally just some new drama happened at home. Long story short is that I'm going to be paying my car insurance now and I am not even currently working so I have no inflow of money. Which means that I'm going into super money save mode.
God it's so tempting to vent. Lol but I won't Unless someone pm'd me. Not that I think anyone would
I'm just stressed now all the sudden.
