This thread is going to be our jumping-off point for OC album 36! Here, anons and namefigs can discuss their schedules and make suggestions for the release deadline and stuff like that. We'll also discuss the cover art and possible names for the album.And of course, you can also submit early songs, post samples or stems if you want people to use or remix them, or make plans to collaborate.
First!

>>13218078On the topic of AI, I'm kind of interested in using RVC to change the texture of voices, and having VSTs custom generated. I've always wanted a waveshaper VST where the curve shapes and point positions can be automated and I finally had AI put one together for me today, but I wouldn't use it in a song that I'm going to post here without asking the community first.
>>13218288Sorry that was meant to be a question. So... what's the consensus here?
>>13218288I don't care as long as it isn't fully prompted suno slop like Kyrie was doing
The first thing I'd like to discuss is the use of color graphics. Your choice of pictures has not been conducive to bringing traffic to these threads. Please consider thisin the future.
>>13218309what baout something like this?https://vocaroo.com/1ktr7FiWJs0B
>>13218360This is precisely what I mean by prompted slop. These are supposed to be OC albums not slop albums.
>>13218362just wanted to get that clarified and out there. technically this was written and carefully crafted, not just "Do a song about the nice gril", but the issue here is that it was basically all prompted out and didn't actually include any original music. Now let's say I had AI make music but I sang, or made the music but had AI sing? Where is the line?
>>13218363Personally I would like to see only music fully composed/arranged/sequenced by human hands. Like you said, original music. Using AI tools to create samples/text to speech vocals to incorporate in your composition would be acceptable, but not much beyond that I think. Anything spit out by directly prompting suno or whatever is just going to be garbage, if it's going to be allowed I personally won't be contributing.Your fortune: You will meet a dark handsome stranger
>>13218366fair and agreed, I think this is the right move. AI as a tool, not as a means to "create".
It should go without saying that this is not the platform for prompted music. If I recall correctly, when I started the last OC album thread, kyrie's thread for AI music was still up. These threads are explicitly distinct from the AI music threads, as a platform for the creative expression of the s4s community. I have no problem banning all AI audio tools completely from use in future s4s OC albums (insofar as I'm hosting them) if that's what the community here wants.>>13218343I do enjoy monochromatic palettes because, by their nature, they avoid clashing. But you make a good point, anon. Even though this *is* a diagram of some of the internal workings of the classic TB-303 bassline synthesizer, it does blend into the board and therefore it's not very eye-catching. As board participation is the number one priority here, I'll keep this in mind when I set up the next thread.
>>13218686>8686Ebin, honestly.
>>13218686>banning all AI audio tools completely from use in future s4s OC albumssounds like a plan to me
>>13218686This is the strone leadereship this boarde needs!Your fortune: Good Luck
does anyone know how to make music on linux? i have a dual boot but prefer being on linux and it would be nice learning something new to not default to windows. i normally use fl studio on windows.
>>13219660You can try running FL Studio through WINE
>>13219667but thats cringe
>>13219669LMMS is free and can do stuffI tried switching over to Linux a couple years ago and eventually gave up and went back to Windows because I couldn't find anything like FL Studio
>>13219660That new Septabee thinger everyone is talking about is linux friendly I think. It is esoteric as fridgjk, thougheverhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lW8Z98pXuSEhttps://septabee.nekoweb.org/Your fortune: ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!
>>13219673holy heck this is autistic
>>13219660LMMS is alright, the main issues are that it has unwieldy automation and - in your case - you can't natively run windows VSTs. But ZynAddSubFx is pretty fully featured, for example. I usually tell people that in the long run, starting on LMMS is going to give you a better understanding of the fundamentals of production than starting on FL would. Whether or not LMMS is going to work for you as a DAW is really a matter of the type of sound design you're trying to do, and your level of experience.

should we decide on a theme and then people loosely follow it or be completely open ended
>>13220502I don't know how much people took notice of the theme last time. We can do a theme this time, but just by the nature of the board you kind of have to expect that some people are not going to follow it at all and be okay with that.Also, we had two songs submitted late for the last album that I'm assuming I should carry over to this album. So those might be off-topic if we do a theme.None of that precludes us from giving the album a theme, these are just things to consider. The case could also be made that picking a theme can do nothing negative since, were the theme to determine just the name and cover art of the album and be sort of unrelated to the contents, it would be just a normal [s4s] album.

I haven't really been present in thread this week, but I'll probably be posting more next week. My hope is that being more consistent with OC and keeping the thread near the top of the catalogue will keep things a little bit more active and help build some momentum. If it stays dead, though, I might consider letting this thread die and starting a new thread with a more eye catching OP image like anon said.Thank you to the anons who are keeping the thread bumped, though.
>>13219691the autistismo
>>13221200The album should be named PC-Trends 99
>>13225529OC-Trends '99
>>13225529>>13225553Personally, I like these ideas
silly billyhttps://files.catbox.moe/fzspdt.mp3
>>13225662Is there a name you'd like to have this included in the new album under?>>13218127And I'm not sure if this one is a submission so I suppose I should ask as well.
>>13225662ebnicYour fortune: Better not tell you now
>>13225680yes i'd like to submit the first song as "Anonymous - silly billy". For the 2nd one: https://vocaroo.com/1iiOd5rIDLzsI'd title it "repeating thoughts" >>13225715ebnic
>>13225662>>13225868are they AI?
>>13225884no
>>13225896they just feel weird cuz they sound quality but then have an abrupt ending
>>13225905i see what you mean, i kept the tail on this one so it soudns more naturalhttps://vocaroo.com/1cn5oR4h55ps
>>13225905i've made some changes to the first one aswellhttps://files.catbox.moe/5ytkgq.mp3
>>13225947>>13226305naisu
I will be out of town tomorrow and most of the day after, so please watch the thread for me, guys.>>13225947>>13226305If you prefer the more abrupt ending and that's what fits your original vision, that is totally fine though. I would suggest doing a very sharp fade out with a volume or lowpass curve just so that there isn't a click. Sharp jumps in volume can be hard on some speaker systems so it's always safer to smooth them. In such a case, you would be smoothing on a time scale so small that it wouldn't be noticeable to the ear, except that there may be less of a pop (insofar as there was a pop in the original, although I didn't really notice anything but I often feel it's better to be safe than sorry with these situations) so it would preserve your idea and would not change the ending of the song in any meaningful way. I've personally never had any speaker damage from this, although I've definitely had samples that I accidentally cut at the peak of a wave and they would end with an audible click until I smoothed them. There's probably a word for that, but I don't remember it if I ever knew it.

I'm leaving [s4s] for goodI'm sick and tired of everybody threatening me all the time on this board.No, I am not making this announcement to stir up any drama, or to get people to talk about me fondly after I am gone. This is not a cry for attention. This is not a threat. There are many things that this post is not, in fact I cannot think of a single thing that it is.I am simply leaving, and I thought you all should know.
