THGC Music Project

four years of highschool chorous right here, and I got madd Acid 3.0 skillz. I bet there's some other musical talent around this site. How about our name:
Blink 182mhz?


Most people live at the speed of life, I drink Mountain Dew!

Wow, thats some experiance / talent. Only 1 year of 4 string bass, a few years of trombone, and 2 of violin.

Only thing I still do is bass and vocals.

Very cool, two more vocals, guitar and bass. Now I know theres more interested. Maybe more synths?

Oh, once we're sure who's involved, we'll figure out how were going to do this, and if we should have one or two people oversee the project as a whole to keep it going smoothly. I'm probably going to step back, submit with everyone else, and engineer where I can. Having a full time MIS job, 3-4 club nights a week, and heading-up my own project including eventually making all the promo material, live gigs, and webmastering probably won't give me much time to take on too much. But I'll do what I can.

I can play the uhhh tambarine and maybe the triangle (though I am rusty)

smurf A- I saw you leave with smurfette
smurf B- oh man as soon as we got out of the bar she started smurfing me
smurf A- shut the smurf up
smurf A- right in the smurfing pariking lot?

I would suggest you try finding people in the Music forums, such as Sound Cards, no?
Those who go there often are people looking for advanced musical cards to compose.

It's not really an issue with the advanced high-end cards/interfaces. I happen to use a high-end because it was the best choice for both an audio workstation/studio setup and a portable live-gig setup. I spent alot of cash on the hardware so I don't have to compromise now and still have the expansion room for later. I could have gotten away with less, but I went for it. In the last project I was in, we did more with less. We were using a P2 or P3 with maybe 128MB ram (wasn't my pc, so I'm not sure) with a Soundblaster Live value, a 4-track mixer, and a copy of Cakewalk Pro Audio. We cut our cd's on this. They weren't great, but people bought them like mad. At first, we used some old laptop and brought all the gear to live shows, playing all the sequences. We had some problems with some gear at a couple shows, then bought a <A HREF="http://https://www.cybernetman.com/default.cfm/DocId/101.htm" target="_new">Cybernet Zero Footprint PC</A> and used pre-recorded synth tracks. We were using the built-card on that pc, and it sounded great (we improved the mix, so it was better than cd).

It's not the top-end gear that counts (though it helps), just the drive to do it. If you can record a track to submit, great. If you use softsynths, loops, and samples, then your slightly ahead because you don't have to leave the pc to record the track. It's as much hardware as software, but it's the person doing it that counts. As long as a someone wants to be a part and has some way to submit the tracks, it's all good, whether you have a home studio, samples and a mod player, a guitar and a Audigy card, or some sid chip ripped out of a Commodore64. Even if someone submits a track that sounds less-than-stellar, someone else can take it, add some EQ, reverb, or some other effect plugin, and make it sound great. It's a community project, we just use what we have.

jk about the whole tambarine and triangle thing lol but I suppose I could get out the old trumpet out of the attic and try to remember how to play the thing if you are serious about it. I really would like to be good at that, I could never play it well I didnt have much of a teacher... but I would love to give it another go

Basic Guiter, song & lyric writing.

Late 70s & 80s Metal & Rock, funky stuff, Jimi etc

IMO you can go for video-game music composition. I notice Children of Bodom has a lot of that beat and tune, and IMO it'd be great for the THGC Music. Now as for lyrics, we need someone as artistic in language as Wingding, but using computer terms.
It'd be so funny, but so cool!

I am sorry I have no music knowledge (I only played guitar for a year, 4 years ago ) but I can suggest things to make it worth it! Who knows, you might even become popular for it, selling albums for geeks lol.

Hello. Is there anybody in there?

Floyd is cool. I listen to just about everything, from Floyd to Jethro Tull, to Skinny Puppy, to Primus, to Duran Duran, to Kompressor (listening to now), to Fields of the Nephilim, to....

MeTaLrOcKeR, if your friend want's to donate space, that would be cool. I didn't plan on going that route just because of the file sizes we'll be dealing with. Figure any song that's close to completion will be around 50MB a clip (.wav format), and it'll add up with all the variations and different clips going back and fourth, depending on how we try to structure this project.

I'm new to this thread, but maybe I have an idea that will be of use. I'm in a music project with a few friends of mine, but we all have our own setups (ranging from cpu-only to extensive studios with dedicated music hardware ) We all have different musical taste, different musical knowledge and when we decide to rehearse together it always ends in a day of lounging and achieving nothing. So, we now do it like this:
we each search out some good sounds or compose a midi track and send it out to eachother. Those bits get used (or not) edited, remixed or whatever and then send on again. untill something sounds really cool. It's an ongoing song, and one idea often brings us a couple of songs. Nothing worth listening to, though.
what do you think, could we do that ?

"There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't"

No problem,
I'm getting really enthousiastic about the idea, working with all kinds of people, different levels of knowledge and influences, etc.
The newsgroup alt.binaries.comp-graphics does the same but with..err.. computer graphics.
I have been keeping my eye on two newsgroups where nothing gets posted, and thusly are waiting to be taken over. Would that be a better form of communication? and they are within the alt.binaries hierarchy, so we could use it to post stuff.

"There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't"

The two groups I talked about are empty (at least on my newsserver) so we wouldn't interfere with anyone. And they could be taken over by us without interfereing, because there were no posts at all in the last weeks. Maybe you could check on your newsservers. The groups are:
alt.binaries.music.makers
alt.binaries.music.maniacs
I posted a message on both of them under the header "toms hardware" (which is free publicity)
The music posted on those groups could be archived on somebody's harddisk untill you found that FTP server.
Anyway, just thinking out loud.

LOL

LHGPooBaa knows a link to some nice sounds of IMB HDs going bad.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dimms when I turn it on

I think and am pretty sure IBM has faulty HDD sound files, to show what should be a warning sign, so people can quickly react to prevent any potential data loss. Funny sounds, really.

Well, once I figure out what my newsgroup server is (shared access so I'm not sure at the moment), and as long as it's kosher with everyone that will be involved and the owner of that group, I don't see any reason not to use alt.binaries.music.makers. It will at least give me a little more time to work on getting a website going to host some of the work. If a few other people could check this group out as well to confirm it's basically dead, we'll be on our way.
