Pony glitch music

Postby ArcaneSoul » 13 Jul 2012 19:11

This has been a thing we have all heard from MANY and i mean MANY songs. But yet has there been any tutorials? Not exactly since everyone has there own style (MHM, pinkiepieswear, teithepony) and they wouldn't want to reveal that.

Are there like any basic ones? Like for pitch shifting on ableton because it is a thing i have always wanted to try but never could. I can make basic glitching, easy but ones with pitch shifting, HOW DO I DO?!

If anyone can give me any tips or tricks on how to do this in able i would be grateful. Just something basic thats all. (Unless i HAVE TO HAVE MELODYNE)
Lets make some music whether its trance, dnb, ambient, or something dark, I CAN DO IT :D

The whole point of the glitch sound is that there's no exact way to do it - it's something that just has to happen.

Just experiment
Tuners can help you figure out the key of samples
Pick out samples from songs so they're already pitched
Melodyne can help but it's not necessary.

Also experiment with more than just vocal chopping, I wouldn't say that alone is enough to call a song glitch - experiment with other things like reversing, gating, bit crushing, time stretching, just generally playing with samples (it works great on drums).

Also

If you're going to vocal chop

PLEASE

Make sure it fits into the key of the song, most samples whether or not they were singing have some sort of tonality to them.
Tei's music is downright dissonant at times because he never does it, it's obnoxious sounding.

Asking MHM is the easiest way to find out how he does it, Tei just loads the vocals in slicex and chooses random clips.

Nah that guy has a massive fanbase now. not that he couldn't be doing it better though from what im hearing. personally i dont like how omnipony shreds his vocals as they just seem recycled from various pony songs but not giving those vocals any tie to the song or concept he's working on. Then again its funny to pick flaws with music that's clerarly more popular then ours, lol.

Don't use dblue's Glitch. Do real waveform chopping and atrocity. That's the best easy way to get real glitch. Otherwise if you have a tape recorder, then record the original to a tape and fuck with the tape. Then you can also burn it to a CD and rub it with salt, spill drinks on it and leave it in the near vicinity of kids. Then play back the CD on an old player (that doesn't know when CDs or tapes are erronous) and re-record them. That's real glitching. I love the real glitching and you should too.

As everyone's said, there are so many ways of glitching, and it's up to you to discover which one is right for you. To help you along, though, here are some ways of doing it in Ableton:

- Warping. Of course! There are six different algorithms that Ableton can use to process warped samples; from a layman's perspective, they're listed in order of quality (Beats being the worst, Pro being the best). With that said, for some samples, Pro won't know what the hell it's doing, and Beats will sound amazing. Experiment with all six and see what sounds you can get out of them, and when doing different things to samples (stretching and compressing different lengths, pitch-shifting, combinations of the two, etc). My personal favourite sound is taking a lead guitar and pitch-shifting it up an octave on Beats.

- manual glitching. I do this a lot; call it personal preference. Take your wave form and Ctrl-E that mother up into the slices you want, them move 'em around, copy them, reverse them, mess with their lengths... If you want less clutter on your UI, though, I'd suggest:

- slicing to drum racks! Take a sample and (preferably) warp it so that's it's perfectly in time, then right-click it and select Slice to New MIDI Track. Ableton will cut up the sample for you into individual slices of a length you can choose, and sort them into a drum rack. From here, you can write out your own melodies or beats in the comfort of a piano roll, rather than through that silly manual business.

Truly, you are a god amongst men.

Im not going to say that your fact is useless. Infact, that might be very helpful and i may try it.

But what i was referring to is what dj mhm does where there are glitched AND melodicly pitch shifted. I was mostly wondering if there is any way on how to do that.

No, seriously, Tei just loads vocals in slicex and chooses random clips. I talk to him and I saw him make music, that's what he does.
