The "What Are You All Working On?" Thread

[Ricky Denzel]

I love ti so much!!!!!

[Ricky Denzel]

I'm working on new songs and I'm bored!

[Warbalist]

I'm going to be working on Fallout: Equestria for some time, but here's an update: the first song I was green lit to release! Yay! http://youtu.be/xt9XtBIc8j8

[Ricky Denzel]

I actually know the writter of Fallout: Equestria.

[3M0 DJ]

a great intro.
not a huge fan of the huge drop off that occured at the 9th measure, and I think you should smoothen the transition to measure 15.

I'll leave that up to you.

Thanks for the advice and positive feedback. Like I said before, I threw this together in about an hour, so I wasn't expecting to continue it. But I'll continue it and try and use your advice.

EDIT: What do you suggest I do to smoothen the transition?

[3M0 DJ]

:D i think you'll end up liking the song more if you figure that out for yourself.
trust me. It's much more satisfying when you solve things without help.

my opinion is that the volume dropped off too quickly, but you can literally do anything you want to that section to add intensity and make an awesome transition.
experiment with it. I think you'll like it.

Alrighty then. I'll see what I can do. Thanks again for the advice. Mmmm... Advice rhymes with rice. *drools*

[3M0 DJ]

That's why there are different varieties if rice. For example... Fried rice, Sticky rice, Brown rice, etc. I prefer steamed or fried rice.

Tried combining punk rock with a french house type setting, not sure if working

I present my WIP: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11219554/Song%205.mp3

Anything I could do to make it better?

[colortwelve]

Last night, I turned my ripoff of Boards of Canada into a ripoff of Feed Me's 'Relocation,' and now I'm trying to figure out sound design for liquid dnb for the Collabortion album.

[Parawings]

I got incredibly bored and manged to make this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/72489501/WIP-%2 ... 0Entry.mp3

Was thinking of using this as my Balloon Party entry, any opinions?

I originally didn't like it, because the intro threw me off a little bit. Whatever effect it is you have on the guitar sounds weird when there's not other instruments around it.

I like it so far, but I think I'd be able to make a better critique with a longer WIP.

Yeah, Kyoga's right, that's way to much distortion on that lead synth. Turn that down I think you'd have somethin' pretty nifty-sounding.

i'm working on learning the languages of WUBWUBWUB.

ah fun i used to do that now i learn the language of BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

[3M0 DJ]

I worked on that one random song a little bit. I still need a name for it though. I also wanna try and make it have to do with ponies somehow. Any suggestions are fine.

Oh, and Kyoga. I still haven't changed that transition part you wanted me to try and fix. I'm still trying to figure out what to do there.

[Ricky Denzel]

I'll teach you for three easy payments of $99.99

I already know the language of boom boom boom. but the language of wubwubwub is one that surpasses my current knowledge. I'm looking for the maths!

step one change the lfo a ton

I'm learnin' the language of WUBWUBWUB or at least the language of BRZZRZZRZZ

I figured out how to run sidechains into two different kinds of Logic softsynths. One to run my drums track through a total synth resonant filter, and one to modulate the bass with a kick, and then I made the bass do insane silly things with the kick instead of just ducking (like, modulate the waveforms and inverse modulate the cutoffs and who knows what else, it got real messy)

Fun!

Alright here's a full-ish WIP of the song I'm working on (longer than 12 seconds). It's a song.

I would really appreciate tips on mastering (hint hint), as that has always been my weakness.

It's a song.

Or it will be. When I'm done. Or. I don't know. Thrackerzod!!!

I like it. What plug-ins did you use? Also, about the mastering... Well, I suck at mastering, so I can't help you there.

This is basically the synth I use for, well. Everything in this song. This thing can do a TON. And its free which always makes things better!

I also used TAL's bitcrusher, which is also free, and the 3xosc for some subbass lines.

And samples from anything Sweetie Belle has ever sung in the show.

Currently I'm working on song which is a MIDI-based project I've had in the works for a while - it will be a sort of progressive metal-themed suite divided into 9 or 10 movements. It will tell the story of a man on his quest to rid the world of disorder and the various worlds he visits throughout.

So far it's looking as though it will end up as more than 40 minutes of some of my most complex riffs, stupidest guitar/keyboard solos, and most erratic time signature changes - so I do have to wonder if I've gone a bit above par with this one.

I'm taking a lot of cues from Dream's Theater's "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" and Symphony X's "The Odyssey". If you haven't heard those songs yet and you're a prog metal fan, you owe it to yourself to check 'em out.

That sounds super ambitious and crazy awesome. Good luck!

I'm slowly making progress on a post-rock song for the charity album. Also have a dance-punk/hardcore remix/cover of "Clash with Dash" that I've been messing with. Unfortunately neither are ready for WIP posting yet, but they're getting there!

I'm like a turtle tortoise when it comes to music.

[Metabrony]

working on my 2nd remix, I'm still a noob at this so its not too great
