OC Anchor. Post new songs, vocals, mixes, art, etc.
Still looking for the anon who did the take of Switches in case he's gonna supply the raw vocals to do a better mix.Otherwise, hoping Anonika's doing okay and not murdering his voice.
Need a couple of backing singers for 80 Bucks Give No Fucks.
>>722802375>>722802376I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE TO SHOOT
>>722802584they're within a couple seconds, so shoot the one that didn't link the OP or use the known formatting.
>>722802584First post is the winner, I guess.
>>722802728not really, the anchor is there for usability not speed. we want it linked to the OP and to be instantly recognizable as the anchor, that's why they usually start with the all caps "ANCHOR".
>dead of night gaymen*sigh*, alright I guess
someone sing my song pls, the singer doesn't have to be female
>>722803297What song?
>>722803297which song
>>722803460>>722803462the ones with anon in the writers field
>>722802921>so much has happened everywhere
What time should the Gaymen song be posted then?
>>722802375Made some art for Rocking the Board. Now someone please sing the song.
>>722803916In like twelve hours
>>722803916at a time when the thread is active. aka during the day in america and posts are consistently coming.
>>722803929it's XIII anon. funny to see like 50% of people use XII.
>>722803929is it a parody of something
>>722804002Fuck my bad. I'll fix it.
>>722801979i doubt hardly anyone has even heard of mercyful fate on this board
>>722804160that's one of the cool parts of /v/tm, the parodies help people find cool music, even the art ones
HOLY 10 BUX OF LIFE FUCKAN SUCKS ANON, ONLY A WEEK LEFT UNTIL THE MUSICAL'S OVER, WHAT ARE YOU WORKAN ON?WRITAN?SINGAN?EDITAN?ARTAN?VIDEOFAGGAN FOR SONGS BOTH OLD AND NEW?Gonna be honest I might be MIA for the next few days, some life shit is going down and it fuuuuucking sucks, might need a substitute yellan for the next few threads, possibly longer, I dunnoBut don't forgetI BELIEVE IN YOU

>>722804325tis all good
>>722802375https://krakenfiles.com/view/dUHx0bWuzh/file.htmlI need (You) the one reading this to put on headphones and tell me left or right. Put on headphones turn it down so you don't go deaf. Close your eyes and then: left? right? sounds the same? Left?Right?Same?This is some behind the music shit ignore the theme was someone actually playing the hollow knight games and then FOTM fags trying to hop on and get clout. It's perfect for the original song since it goes from something actually interesting and unique in delivery to a fucking dogshit track and that about it especially tickles me but is ultimately irrelevant. I actually saw a bunch of people playing HK with cheats and crying about SS difficulty. Big ups to the people who actually played HK before SS that's some good shit.

>>722803929>>722804002It's fixed now.>>722804061Well, it's so much of a parody cover as it is more or less trying to be stylized as an Ice Nine Kills Album. Even tried to match the font.
>>722804892What is this for, Business? Not gonna lie I don't understand what these lyrics are about.
>>722805094the references? or?? specifically this song is talking shit about sonys weird ass decisions since basing in california. The chorus is about concord and live services if that gives you an idea of where the seed sprouted. Mostly industry focused in that case.I don't know what to put for things like mellie mel, jon manziel, scott van pelt. Vidya auteurs? Reference other failed live service things like foamstars? I haven't been following sonys latest newest stuff. To make a 2 year old topic more relevant I guess I can try and shoehorn ghost of yotei or GTA6 stuff in since I'm low on brainjuice and it still needs to kind of stick the landing.
>>722805334What's the original song and what are the rest of the lyrics so far? I don't think you should just Mad Libs it. References aren't really funny by themselves.bBut you can look up a list of failed live service games quickly on Google.

Fellow sabanons, since Banning the Lolicon seems meh but I love the song, I'm thinking of rewriting it as Fires of Rubicon about the most based man alive from Armored Core VI.

>>722810560well you did a nice job with it! i love hearing songs about video games I haven't played so I'll have to check out a game that anon liked so much he wrote a whole song about it
>>722802375Anon who recorded That’s Based (Let’s Dance - David Bowie), I love your song. I tried to update the lyrics a bit so that they’re referencing behavior on /v/ and so that it has less repetition in the lyrics. They should match your lyrics syllable for syllable, but holler at me if it’s fucked. Take a look. I actually think that this could be quite a funny song about /v/ being contrarian on purpose given the that’s based, that’s cringe chorus, but since you wrote the verses to be more about obnoxious behavior and suicidebaiting, I ran with those themes.That’s Based - Let’s Dance by David Bowieoriginal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbD_kBJc_gI instrumental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZVI-GNWYnY Ah, ah, ah, ah(That's based) get on the /v/ board and make a post(That's based) 'bout a game you'll never ever fucking play(That's cringe) post another söy-jack face(That's cringe) go kill yourself you're a waste of spaceIf you say based, I'll cringe insteadAnd if you say cringe, it's basedBecause my hate for you will split this board in twoThen you get banned, by a janny, I know from IRC(That's based)(That's based) you say you sage my threads(That's based) you post about your GETs(That's cringe) meme /tv/ unto my site(That's cringe) suicide tonight, I’m serious tonightAnd If you say based, I'll cringe insteadAnd if you say cringe, it's basedBecause my rage at you will split this site in twoThen an hero, like a zero, I know anon to be[instrumental break](That's based) get on blue board and post a pic(That's cringe) make it off-topic, it’s so fucking off-topic[instrumental break]That's basedThat's basedThat's based That's based That's based

>>722810668Thank you! I feel the same way, im surprised an anon took the time to write something for my deep cut request, so it was fire to do the sing.
>>722810770Based anon here. Thanks for the rewrite! I realised just now that I forgot to record the opening "ah"s so I have to go back to record more anyways. I'll bring these lyrics with me then as well

A uhhh song about the fact Final Fantasy is the only series where you can use an ether on a woman and she'll still talk to you.
>nigger
>>722814131Is he singing this year?
>>722814130what's the joke? I don't get it
>>722814610Imagine the MP recovery items were called chloroform, and you'd more or less get the joke.They're not the same family of drug, but they're both old school anesthesia drugs that can render someone unconscious in sufficient doses.For some reason that's the name of the MP recovery items in Final Fantasy.
>>722815050oh I gotcha so like a roofie joke basically
>>722815247More or less, with a similar direction as the Acronym Bad song.You give a girl some ether in Final Fantasy, you're being a gentleman. You give a girl some ether IRL and she's gonna call the cops.One could go with the angle of the singer being Chris Chan level autistic and not understanding why the distinction exists.

a song about the first two south park games being really good, unexpectedly good for being games based on cartoons, and then they went and announced a new game which was going to be a fucking MULTIPLAYER CO OP and OK i tried to stay positive, maybe it will be free and have shit like clothes you could buy but NO THIS GARBAGE COSTS MONEY AND IT STILL HAS CLOTHES YOU CAN BUY but ok i will stay positive, the clothes you can buy don’t have to affect me, haha, maybe it may look ugly but it will be >fun WHO KNOWS MAYBE IM FLAWED. the collector edition sold out fast, maybe it’s actually good, maybe it’s worth it, even if it’s 200 bucks, and they made new collector editions since the first batch sold out so OK MAYBE ITS WORTH IT, I CAN BUY IT AND I DID. and then the game came out and i was still waiting for mine because the collector got mega delayed and while waiting i saw everyone saying it’s shit and who knows maybe THEY are flawed, maybe they are just journos and the gamers DONT GET IT, they dont have friends who bought the fucking co op south park game haha losers with no friends haha. and then the game arrives and i looked at all the shitty merch that isn’t worth 200 bucks and its OK maybe the game is good AND IT ISN’T IT SUCKS ITS SHIT, ITS EVEN BUGGED AND I GET STUCK IN THE FLOOR AND I HAVE TO RELOAD THE GAME TO FIX THAT AND REDO THE LEVEL AND THEY ARE SO LONG AND UNFUNNY AND I PAID 200 DOLLARS WHY DID I DO IT? THE STORY WASN’T EVEN FUNNYI JUST WANTED A NEW SOUTH PARK GAME LIKE THE OTHER TWO AND I WANTED TO FILL THAT VOID WITH ANYTHING ELSE AND NOW MY VOID IS FILLED WITH SHIT AND I HAVE A VOID IN MY WALLET. WHY DID I BUY ITthis is not about me, its about a friend

>>722806549i'm down for that. vidya is nearly always more interesting as a topic than board culture, even if i haven't played it it's easy to get behind when the writer has things to say about it. still have the rest of this week to sing and i don't think there really were any harmonies to pick out for the chorus, just the guest or a woman squealing the same melody an octave higher.
>>722811292My Chemical Romancerefused to listen to them in their prime, now The Black Parade is in my top 10

You know its probably too late for any writefags to indulge me, but you know what song I'd love to sing a parody of? The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades.

>>722823442nothing spring to mind, amazingly enough seeing as there's always a thread up about it

Sing my songs, please and thank you
Evil woman (worse) anon, is the AI version still on the finished sheet? I can't check right now but unless someone removed it from the finished tab it still has the AI monologue
>>722833952NTA but there is a version with a monologue in the finished tab yes, no idea if the monologue is AI tho
>>722834148If it sounds like DSP then it is
>>722833952>>722834148yes it's the AI version on the sheet, I'm deleting the cell with it for now, we're not risking it getting on the album. when someone has a version that's actually finished they can add one to that cell
>>722834197The writer recorded the monologue when he first posted the lyrics, and then Anonfag added the monologue after finishing the song. I don't see any possibility for someone to sneak in AI.
>>722829651This fucking rules
>>722834248>I'm deleting the cell with it for nowSounds like a deliberate vandalism. Post the deleted link so that we could check if this actually was an AI.
>>722819561it'll be a good track at least, pop doesn't miss

>>722834775sounds like you're a faggot busybody that doesn't know what they're talking about and can't mind their own business or ask politely for explanations that have already been given in multiple threads.
>>722834775This is the proper, non AI monologue, at least it was posted as such a few threads agohttps://krakenfiles.com/view/ELuI0fXtbq/file.html
>>722835008coulda sworn i heard a mix with that in it
>>722834958This is the thread's business. We have a sneaky vandal, and if you're refusing to provide explanations I have every reason to think that someone is just fucking with the song he doesn't like.
>>722835182Bugged song mechanics. Nothin anon could do. AI DSP is in the track
>>722835182the thread has been given explanations, you just want to be spoonfed them yet again. if you want to hear the AI version so badly seek it out, I'm not reposting AI to the thread to satisfy you. the people actually involved in the song already know about the AI speech situation, you're outing yourself as a busybody. you have every right to think something retarded if you want, but no right to shit up the thread with baseless accusations and infighting instead of just looking for the past discussions or uploads if you care so much.
>>722835578AI digital signal processor?
honestly don't need to fight with bad uploads until after the 15th. just identify them/replace them. for example if someone was adding something repeatedly we don't need to fight over removing it, just delete once the sheet is locked at the endof course in this case if it's deleted and stays gone, great. just saying
this is why faggots shouldn't generate AI shit even as a demo. two years in a row it's been a source of drama when it ended up on the finished sheet.
>>722834784You underestimate my power
>>722836434can't wait to hear the pure power then
>>722829218Yours
No Lucky Lucky day today? I hope anon is alright.
i will draw an obese dog for c'est moi
>>722836608using ductaped pillows as armor, cardboard sword in hand and riding one of those scooters for obese people
Good morning anons, I hope you have a Lucky Lucky day!!Today's good luck charm comes through positive vibes!Share the love! Give others some positive feedback to show you care!Don't give in to the temptation to reply to bait or bad vibes posts!Make today's goal to make other anons smile as we enter our Happy Lucky final week and prepare for some serious work!!Your capacity for empathy shall be increased today!! Iincrease the total happiness in the world, because when it's digital it's like copy pasting a bike! Today's blessing is by the people for the people!
I checked the old threads to stop the drama. Is this version AI? It was made right after Anonfag uploaded his mix, and before another anon posted about making a separate AI monologue in the next thread:https://krakenfiles.com/view/sXZRRRxKUn/file.html>>722604352https://krakenfiles.com/view/loU2nXoNu6/file.html>>722631913Can't listen them right now, sorry.
will someone sing Mima's song?https://rentry.co/ktxuu3zchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCH8WMIhvF4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMcUek73sjk
>>722836793yes the speech at 2:36 is clearly an AI DSP. that's why we had someone record a human version in the first place. it just has to be mixed.
>>722836850Did someone move the song into general edits with the human monologue already?
>>722836790There they are. Good morning Matikanefukukitanon! Good day to you too!
>>722837097thanks!

Hey Paint me Out is pretty cool, I'll sing it if I find the time.There are a few oddities with the lyrics though, mind taking a look at them writefag?Specifically:>I don’t wanna liveIn the original there's a strong accent on the second downbeat of this bar (fine BY me), so do you mind something like want TO live instead of wanna live?>Of a psyche that’s dead and smolderedPsyche is pronounced sy-kee, but you wrote it replacing only one syllable (like syk), so this could either be reworked with a different phrase, like "only getting stale and colder", or at least removing a bit, like "of a psychee dead and smouldered".>Sister carrying the weight of the worldWould you mind changing this to "sister's carrying"?Same metric but it makes the phrase grammatically correct.>Cruel the way the choice is upon the worldThe downbeat in this phrase goes with the u- in upon, but the accent in upon is on the second syllable, so this should be reworked to sound more natural.>Wish that I could go adventure this oilAdventure used as a transitive verb doesn't mean "go on an adventure to", so this phrase doesn't make sense.>The boy he has diedThis doesn't make sense either, shouldn't this be "the/that boy has died" or "the boy I was died"?
>>722837741that's just how it goes when people are copy-pasting left and right
>>7228372130.01 is too much, but jannies get a 4chan pass in return for their efforts, so you could write that instead.
>>722838146I mean the massive stretches with alternating greens. Those colors are not even being used.
>>722838413it's when things are being copy-pasted, someone probably had to fix it from a personal copy of the sheet that has off colors or something. it's not someone messing with it on purpose, every past spreadsheet has also had this happen. I wouldn't stress about it much, if we really want it looking pretty then the sheet is locked at the end of the 15th and someone can sweep through and pretty it up if they want.
>>722838558Fair, my autism causes me to go and fix it everytime i see this.
>>722838558Can’t you use “paste values” to avoid this
>>722838967sure, if you get a huge group of anonymous people to figure out that's something they need to consistently do
>>722838413Its pretty easy to fix if you just target it at the row/column level. I've fixed it occasionally but you can just click a row number (or better yet ctrl click multiple at once) then set the background color to fix all of them in one go. Same can be done per column with formatting
updated the DLC art with references to the newer DLC entries
>>722839973pretty fun. good to see DLC art getting attention in advance this year, a lot of files end up using that art and it does go to the /v/oombox page.
Reaper's fading out the audio for about a second once per minute for me.I remember people complaining about this last year and it being some plugin's piracy seethe; anyone remember the specific one?
what if I record on my phone what about then huh?
>>722840853phones have pretty reasonable mics, go for it
>>722838208wait, they do?
>>722820395Yeah, lemme fix that right now, my bad!
>>722841782technically they have a distinct account thing that has the pass stuff built in alongside adding new options to flag and remove stuff
>>722840385this is a known issue and I recall it coming up but checking the archives for the keywords I'm not finding the posts. hope someone actually into the editing side sees this and gives you the info.

in the land of the singfag, a mixer is a god
>>722843657>the best “singfags” really just have the best editing skillsIt’s like a microcosm of the music industry , and just like it we’ll never be as cool as the classics…
>>722843097>ywn get KFAD 3
>>722843759yeah people like to say the singfag matters the most but editing is the actual deciding factor. you can make a bad singer sound good, it just needs an editor that knows what they're doing. you can't sing your way to perfect harmonies and layered songs, most of that is editing and effects.
song about game bundles (99% is bad but sometimes there's a gem at a huge discount)
>>722801979I posted my version of "it's over isn't it" but the firaxis version. Did people get it? IDK if I was just meant to post it on here or what

>>722846178Two weeks 'till we recover
has this cover art been parodied yet?
>>722846367nope, did you have an idea on the characters to use? we could use another board culture album. /v/tan in top left, janny in the top right, anon in the bottom left, sneed in the bottom right could color match it and go hard.
>>722847036i actually did have an idea on which characters to use alreadyalso i had already begun on the art so no point wasting what i already did
>>722847353yeah if you had an idea go for it
its kinda nice knowing we're forced to return to the soul method of songs being unedited and a little janky, hopefully it lowers qualityfagging for next year when people don't expect every song to be high production level
>>722847814yeah the hall of shame is eating good this year, might need to add a new wing

>>722848645It rhymes with news and redditors are insufferable, you might prefer jews
>>722848645don't reply directly to the lyrics dumbie. it needed a punchline that rhymes with news and ends the topic of where someone would post during the 4chan outage

Shilling for a couple songs with no singers yet:>DEADWEIGHTReally good song and very creative lyrics>the SunVery sweet lyrics that seem to be pulled from the heart, those are always appreciated>Lucky Lucky UmaSimple and short song, the original vocalist is female but a male one is fine>A Kid in KamurochoGreat game, great song and great lyrics>Acronym's BadReally funny and creative, the song is great too. The original has multiple vocalists, but even with just one it would still be nice
>>722849756Now I don't have a job and a new overpriced switch!
>>722843892>you can't sing your way to perfect harmonies
>>722850260Unlike you bro, we'll manage!
>>722849852God if anyone can do the Sun please do. I've given it my best try but I can't with the original song.
>>722850370if you're just layering perfectly sung harmonies audio raw without knowing how to edit then it's going to sound wrong. you gotta be able to mess with the volume, effects, maybe some panning, ect so it's not just a bunch of overlapping takes.
>>722850393||Could you do any of the other songs there, pretty please? I'd love for any of them to be completed. Yes one is mine, but I'm not saying which as I want them all to have a fair chance||
>>722850620>dicksword spoilersHaha dummy
>>722850620nvm i fucked up the spoiler im gonna kill myself
desperation hours. there's 200 uncompleted songs, anons will get the ones that work with them.
>>722850620If you tell me which specific song is yours I'll look at it as long as it isn't Kid in Kamurocho because no offense but I hate that game. I'm guessing Lucky Lucky Uma is yours?
>>722845172finished recording this minute and got a few low harmonies in too. just gonna see if there's any touchups necessary and then cut and mix. skipped the guest verse because voice is too tired so if you wanna do that (shifted down an octave if you want) it'd be a load off.
>>722850775Yeah, it is. I appreciate it.
>uma spammer is discordshocker
next year lets replace the singfag credit on the song file with an editfag credit so people will learn to edit
this is the start of 3rd stanza yeah?>>722850384Now listen anon one and all
>>722850787I think I usually hang out about an octave below you, but the guest verse works great at the upper end of my range.It's similar to Linkin Park's The Emptiness Machine in that regard, where if I do the whole thing an octave lower I can get the full second verse tone shift in and it's really fun to do.
Fun last minute idea for writefags:Kodachrome by Paul Simon turned into “[Don’t Take My] Mobile Games [Away]” about a guy obsessed with mobile gacha games(If only because I keep hearing “Kodachrome” as “mobile home”)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rlDTK6QI-w

no cannibal duo siblings song this year?
>>722840385Check if it's your trackspacer or something
>>722853441there's a cannibal duo song but it's not the siblings game
Can you imagine how badly it would have gone if someone tried to start /v/ The Musical today as opposed to in 2013?
>>722854137I don't know why people keep telling me things get better in the future, they obviously don't, well technology does but that's about it.
>>722854137well yeah it would have died instantly, if not due to lack of entrants than due to jannies culling it for not being on topic. 2012-2013 was a golden era of 4chan pre-2016 where the site had developed and had a culture and strong userbase, but wasn't so established that new ideas were ignored. in those days it was normal for the average anon's post to be here because they wanted to have some casual fun and discuss even niche topics. in these days it's normal for the average anon's post to be from a terminally online schizo that is enraged at the idea that other people enjoy things so it is their life's mission to disrupt that. can't have /v/ threads without people entering solely to bait and try and piss others off, can't have ylyl threads on /gif/ without people spamming troll fligu giggu or one piece webms that nobody finds funny, sometimes it's literal bots now.
>>722854576>technology does but that's about itall my household appliances last half as long as the ones I had as a kiddon't seem to work as well, either
>>722854651I'm going to make my own image board the second I know how, and I *will* host a successor to /v/ The Musical with blackjack and hookers.
>>722854654hey at least houseing prices went from being able to own a home off a minimum wage part time job to being able to afford half of the cheapest rent to split with roommates if you take a 2nd part time minimum wage job.
>>722854654No, that's working as intended. As someone who works in appliance design it's a feature (for the company).
>>722850859Don't think the song is in my range, sorry. Lyrics are cute so I hope someone does it.
>>722854651I want to go back...
>>722852426Instead of vidya playing...
>>722854880No worries, thanks for checking it out!
>>722854651in all seriousness this is why I don't fault anyone holding on tightly to tradition and trying to keep /v/tm from changing. it is from a better era and you can't go back, so the best you can hope for are slivers like /v/tm don't also fall too deeply into the bullshit everyone else suffers from. I shake my head at each "ree trannies are evil" and "black people are in muh games" song but these people genuinely don't understand better, they probably never knew an internet where we just had some simple fun online instead of constant political infighting and ragebait.
>>722854992let's raise a glass to this website
>>722855243an' pray it keeps on staying
>>722854902
>>722840385That happened to me and I couldn't fucking fix it so I just shipped the mix without Trackspacer.
trackspacer? yeah I space them apart by having the instrumental on one line in audacity and the vocals in another line, then I export and upload the flac.
>>722854651>>722855175I miss /v/ermin /v/eekend, man.
>>722856347for sure, it's another thing that would be lucky if it the OP got 2 wojaks making fun of it and a "this isn't video games >>trash" before it 404'd.
>>722856347don't worry, it died for quality threads like the ones on the catalogue right now.
I plan to make a bunch of song art edits during the last minute editing rush when I'm done singing. Post songs that you want a little edited custom art for. I did the art for songs like Hey There Iguazu and the Not Like Us parody last year for a sense of what I can do. No promises I'll get to yours or that I'll have an idea. Please also attach the single or album art that you'd prefer to have parodied so I don't get the wrong one, as well as any ideas for edits (such as, "Make this but replace the two guys on it with /v/-tan and Yotsuba"). I'll try to get through as many as I can.
>>722855175still wanna represent this board to a degree, not just the fumes left. part of that means perpetuating the hate machine but truth be told i'm mostly just pretending to be racist.
>>722855474>click>hide
>>722856817>the muslim shocked the doggo!I didn't realize Hasan was a video game, lmfao>Buys a switch 2 then just returns it with a shit excusebased.
>>722857000the funny part is that game companies are just as detestable as always, if not more so. but so many people got addicted to ragebait about hating their fellow man that they just don't care about anything other than perpetuating more identity-based ragebait now.
me trying to edit be like
fugg I have an absolutely pounding headache no singing tonight...
>>722801979I STILL BELIEVE IN EDITFAGHE'LL RETURN AND SAVE US ALL ON THE LAST WEEK
>>722857897he confirmed directly several times that no he is not editing your songs this year.
>>722857941He always says he's not gonna do anything but then he can't help himself and edits songs.It's in his blood, his nature.I believe, and I'll more songs to the spreadsheet!
>>722856856Wanna try something for Horny, Horny? Could be a fun one
>>722858040alright just don't be shocked when I slap the vocals over the instrumental and export it as is. I won't have time for editing a hundred tracks in a few days otherwise.
>>722858160>IEDITFAG, YOU'RE HERE?! ILL SUCK YOUR COCK, EDIT MY SONG PLEASE
>>722854137It would be AI gen song project.Bless the oldfags for giving us this little flame of culture to carry to the future.
>>722858340I'm not editfag, I'm the guy that's going to give you the "editor's special". the songs aren't editing themselves and no progress is being made on the editing tab, there are no people here this year going to give your song special attention.
>tfw we are not gonna get something edited like this this yearhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hro5egkNAoYI think the only songs that suffer the most from lack of editors are pop songs, they have the biggest production.The usual guitar song doesn't need many shiny effects.
>>722858689iirc either poornon edited his own songs or sent them directly to editfag/someone else that knows how to do such things. editfag is still here and likely still editing, he just edits for his friends and maybe some songs he actually takes favor to, not half of the full editing tab by default.
check the DM
>>722858930busy day, later
I'm thinking we may need a reference to there being few editfags this year as well as the AI dramafagging in the Irish Gayman song but probably best saved for final stanza
>>722859197fuck that, we do NOT need meta faggotry in it. have some respect for the traditional songs and just keep them on topic.
>>722858445nta but i don't mind, even if you just slap the vocals on top of the instrumental, i'd rather anon do it than me, because if it's MY mixing, it's shit, if it's anon's mixing, it's soulful.
>>722859318Actually yeah, you're right, sorry. Newfag here, I should lurk moar
>>722859197Irish Gayman Song is not there as your excuse to shove meta politics or drama down our throats. At literal most you should shout "AI" and "editing issues" to be used in the part of the script where the MC asks the crowd for topic suggestions.
>>722859365I am the editor you need, but not the one you deserve
>>722859548You're probably the editor I deserve.
>>722859408it's fine, I agree with the other anon it's not a bad idea to maybe do one of them for the crowd yelling skit once we're setting that up.
>>722855332For now anons just hold on tight
>>722860032we are gamers with honor
>>722860358we got DK and Silksong too
>>722860496Jannies suck my ass
>>722860667Lil bro it has to at least kinda rhyme>>722860496I'd buy that for a dollar!
remember as well to end the final stanza with "vidya will never die" if possible my guys. how much of the song is even left?
Alright, I'm gone in like an hour, so if that anon who was getting the dialogue from Triangle Strategy to put at the end of that song could just put it on the sheet or like anchor it, I'll add it to the mix and then finish it all up on Monday.
>>722856202trackspacer? i hardly know her!
>>722861975I'll put it on the sheet as soon as I get there. I'm like 2 missions away.Guys, should I grab the audio sub or dub so you think? The dub sucks but it's in English.
>>722864259if you're putting the dialogue in the song then english so people have a clue what is being said.
>>722850787Mind uploading your takes so far? Would make it easier to sync up if I have something to sing along with.
i got carried away trying to draw the grossest janny ever and i didnt think about the background and i dont know what to do.for now i just slammed some random medieval borders i found online on it but i dont know if this style would even make sense with the sweaty fatlord in the middle. if its good i can try redo the borders with some 4chan related thing IDK
>>722865860this is song art yeah? very kino, love to see high effort song art. I think the background fits fine, the reds and yellow and green complement him and the scooter nicely.
Le Miserables “On my Own” about editing your own song (poorly)
>>722866071>metafuck off no
>>722865860It's beautiful holy kek. The border is good. Maybe just add the 4chan 4 leaf clover motif or something to the decorations.
>>722865860C'est Moi is about anon applying to become a janny, so maybe give him one of those medieval dunce hats that says WANNABE or IDEAL JOB or something on it.
>>722866308C'est Moi into Banning The Lolicon would be a good album order joke desu
>>722866515sabanon isn't singing banning the lolicon
>>722866308nta but I don't think the art needs yellow paint markers, the viewer is probably smart enough to get the joke without a sign saying "he wants to be this"
>>722865860I would say just change the heart-like patterns on the sides to be clover shaped and leave it at that, adding more details will kinda make it worse imho
>>722866515Sabaton is doing the Armored Core parody instead (based).
I hope the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida and Ozzy anons pull through.
>>722866515Sabaton is doing the Armored Core parody instead (sad)

>>722867840Elona/10 post
>>722866053>>722866195thank you! i had fun doing it and it still makes me kek>>722867238yeah i agree, i wanted to make some edits just so its not an image took from the internet, but anything that is not just clover patterns is too much>>722866308i agree with what anon said >>722867089 plus the hat is so long, it would cover the title
>>722860896i've sung that before but where did it come from? it wasn't in the first 3 aka the good ones.
>>722869032it's been in most/all of them since something like year 5 or 6, which means probably around the 4th one?
Backing vocals needed for Wokes go to GamedevCurrent mix: https://krakenfiles.com/view/q960anWN26/file.htmlThe parts that need backing are:The tranny is never misgendered // Since I have been born games are dyin' // But now that I'm born games are dyin'(all follow the same melody)and the chorus:Wokes go to gamedevGames go to shitWokes go to gamedevGames go to shit
>>722869242it started with the 6th onehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/13f-ynBD2XiR6fsfineiZ2ziwUYdKrrAxmdMI0nQjCFY/edit?tab=t.0
>>722869032the entire idea of a song we repeat over and over ages poorly over time, but at this point it is a tradition so whatever
not the writer but, could DEADWEIGHT be sung by a vocaloid since the original song uses one, or is that against the musical spirit?
>>722870086Given it was submitted and was seeking a singer, I'm going to assume there's no intent behind a Vocaloid to singing it. I think making a song from the ground up where a Vocaloid singing it can make sense, but I don't think we should be using Vocaloid as a consolation prize like "well it didn't get sung so time for the robot to do it".
>>722870231Oh i have no idea how to use one. I was just curious.
>>722870086Vocaloid is allowed because musical jannies don't consider it equial to AI voices for some silly reason.
Whoever made No More Xbox, the lyrics are fucking priceless. I don't know that much of ozzy but I'll try my best to sing it.
>>722802375Male vocals for diversificationhttps://krakenfiles.com/view/R2oFNjqdI4/file.html
>>722870825BASED
>>722870398It's really silly to just go "some silly reason", if you don't know the reason why bother answering for those people? the reason it's allowed (with an asterisk) is that it's not a shortcut, it's just as much if not more work than singing the song yourself. no human role is replaced in the songmaking process, there's still passion and human effort behind every note a vocaloid sings. that said, it's context dependent. if someone tried to submit like 20 vocaloid songs it'd be rejected without a doubt. it works as a novelty for rare songs, usually the ones written with a vocaloid singer in mind. if it's just straight a album of non-human singers that is the point where the person should just be making their own project instead of so heavily altering this one.
>>722870398the past Vocaloid song should remain the only one desu. that said, it's not considered to be on the same level as sloppa because Vocaloid is essentially an instrument which requires manual tuning and takes far more effort than tossing a prompt into suno.
I don't think DEAD WEIGHT is a good song for it because it has nothing to do with that. I think a Vocaloid singer could theoretically work for a song that is from the point of view of a bot or something like that, maybe even a game NPC where the song is about them being an NPC. But DEAD WEIGHT is a really human topic.
>>722871168I don't think we really need to retread old ground there either, "If Anons Want To See Girls" was already a perfect use of a song where the vocaloid sang it because it made the song better thematically and enhanced the message of the song.It's a gimmick and like most gimmicks it only really works once, and that has nothing to do with Vocaloid. Someone brilliantly did the The Outfield song "Your Love" about the Ed Edd and Eddy Online topic because the singer sounds like Ed, and that is perfect synergy. If people just started parodying every The Outfield song and having the Ed voice be used for it randomly no matter the topic, it not only just becomes a cheap gimmick but takes away from the 1 song that used it perfectly. I don't think it's "against the rules", but like most things in the musical it's vibe based and I don't think it passes a vibe check to say "it worked 1 time so lets repeat it and run it into the ground".
>>722871550I don't think that either of the ideas I listed would be "retreading old ground" as I specifically pointed topics that weren't the original concept of it being a fake girl. It's very possible for there to be multiple topics where a Vocaloid singer would be appropriate and enhancing. That isn't the same thing as saying that Any song or topic could be Vocaloid just because.
>>722871876imo the gimmick is a broader "lets write a song about a non-human pov specifically so a vocaloid can sing it". when the outset is "I want an npc song" that's one thing, but right now it looks like the outset is "I want a vocaloid song, so I guess I'll just write something about npcs".but yeah like I said it's vibes based. I'm sure someone will try it one day and it'll probably go over well if it was handled with care.
>>722872053You're misreading my post. I gave those topics as theoretical examples of songs that could be enhanced by Vocaloid while DEAD WEIGHT would not be enhanced since the lyrics cover a uniquely human experience. I really truly wish that you didn't immediately assume people were coming in here trying to break musical tradition.
>>722872325I was just giving my mindset on what I figured the vibe was, it seemed pretty obvious from the first post that this was all hypotheticals and we just needed something to bump the thread with.
This is probably not a good time to reveal that I've been slowly and painstakingly chipping away at a Vocaloid song since the musical began. Guess I'll save it for next year or never. rip
>>722872461I mean like anons were saying, does it make sense as a vocaloid song? if you've spent all month making a good one I'm sure it's fine.desu as a writefag, having a random song I wrote done as vocaloid would kinda suck if it didn't make sense. the moment of finding out a singfag sang your song is the potential kino reward for writing in the first place. I don't think I would get that from a vocaloid.
>>722872687I guess I'll post it when I finish and the thread can decide. I think it makes sense but YMMV.
>>722872806I don't think it's that over-complicated, what is the topic of the song?
>>722872461These discussions are going to happen next year too. Just post your song while it's still fresh off the press.
>>722872461honestly finish it and post
yo i'm trying to edit song for the first time and i downloaded all the stuff from links in earlier threads but desu i have no clue what i'm doing with the template. i just got, like, the bare minimum idea of what i'm "supposed" to do. so any help on how to use the template and not run around in circles?forgive this anon, for i am uneducated
>>722873504bless your soul for trying, with how few editors we have I hope one of them is online to help you soon.
bros its the final week, where are the new finished songs from today *sweats nervously* (ಠ~ಠ)
>>722874234It's over, the final 3-day rush is cancelled.
>>722874405its a good thing in the end, we need this next week for some of you guys to learn editing
>>722873504This dude does a pretty good job explaining the basicshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p1McP-uDmwMind you, a lot of editing and mixing is feel-based black magic fuckery.
>>722874465and let's be clear the standards are low, this isn't shit we're expecting to sound good. someone that knows how to line up the audio properly, get the volume levels decent, and apply a little reverb is already a god among men here this year.
>>722874659oh yeah absolutely, just knowing how to add reverb, a bit of delay, reverb, match volumes and reverb is perfectly acceptable, but I just thought that dude explained how to fiddle with the basic fxs nicely
>>722865741https://vocaroo.com/1mNgMTRQNX6Ghttps://vocaroo.com/126ofldSgFRwhttps://vocaroo.com/1ebDpltXs6vMno complex 3-part harmonies, just these simple ones and even that's more than the original has. i even added a little extra harmony to the prechorus. looking forward to what you come up and also would be neat if anyone could pick out some samples or whatnot from the game for the solo section. it's not terribly long tho so we could live without.
>>722874832yeah I think the tutorial is a great idea, just don't want people getting scared off if they see and and some of it makes them think it's too much work. as long as we have reverb we're good to go really.
i like to sing myself but still considered making a vocaloid version of the Daisy Bell parody for obvious reasons
>>722874843Do you want sound effects or a voice clip?Let me see if Armored Core VI has its voice files uploaded anywhere. Where in the lyrics does the solo come in so I get something appropriate?
>>722875132do the lyrics fit?
>>722875132it's a cute idea and since it has a singer it'd be dlc either way, no clue how time consuming vocaloid is but it sounds like a nice thing to do. if its dlc anyway are we allowed to do ones like that after the deadline while other stuff is wrapping up?>>722875278the joke is that it's the original song is very famously sung by an AI
>>722870086As the Lord High Arbiter of the Musical (trademark pending), I decree that it can be sung by a Vocaloid and put in DLC as an alternate track.And as the Lord High Arbiter of the Musical (trademark pending), I ALSO decree that Rin>Miku>Luka>everyone else
>>722875436https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuNixp-wvWMLol, lmao even.
>>722875189between the two final choruses there's like 40 second of solo. bit noisy so i don't know how much you'd be able to hear but 30+ seconds of no singing is a good spot to put a skit or something related to the game.
hey guys can I sing in the musical
>>722875559AS THE LORD HIGH ARBITER OF THE MUSICAL (trademark pending) I DECREE THAT THE FATASS REDHEAD DOES NOT COUNT!!!!!!
>>722875336>if its dlc anyway are we allowed to do ones like that after the deadline while other stuff is wrapping up?yeah people have submitted "too late" stuff to dlc before.the important things there are:no new lyrics or they're barred from future musicals for being outside the periodno new singing/audio unless it's specifically for the dlc, aka can't sing it as dlc and then just mix it better next year for the album since it was audio submitted outside of the musical
>>722860734the prices're raised a thousandfold
>>722802375Gave another pass at mixing C'est Moi and felt like it could work with increased music volume.Tell me which one you prefer:First mix: https://krakenfiles.com/view/DZYxdpwuN8/file.htmlLouder music: https://krakenfiles.com/view/RAYSRoeLRC/file.html

>>722876983I think they're both good. The second one sounds better overall but some lyrics are harder to understand.
>>722878927Aight, tell me which ones are harder to understand and tomorrow I will adjust the volume of the music on those specific parts

>the weird al parody hasnt been complete yet>>722804289WE ONLY HAVE A WEEK LEFT. SOMEONE HAS TO DO A WEIRD AL SONG. IT ALWAYS GETS DONE
>>722878875I genuinely enjoy Why don't you to back to /vg/? which is more than I can say about a NIGGER like you.
>>722879405then get off your ass and do one?

>>722879405Bro…Your Pokéscope For Today…it’s right there…you can sing it…
>>722882424i'll try but I hope someone better can do it although I dont remember how to pronounce half the regions on that list to tell you how much I remember about pokemon,
>>722882632Please don't sing that one. The lyrics are so Mad Libs generic it hurts because the writer didn't want to put in the effort do they're basically identical to the original with names swapped. I told him this critique weeks ago and he replied by saying he wasn't gonna put in any effort. If you want to do the Horoscope song I can write some lyrics for it right now and add a pronunciation guide too.
>>722882787nta and you can call me a newfag but what does madlibs mean? i've seen it used often and i'm a writefag so i wanna make sure i'm not doing that
>>722882925nta but madlibs means instead of writing lines for your song so it's a cohesive own product, you're looking at the existing song and replacing a single word here and there in a way that produces something closer to a cover than a parody. it's not a political term, it refers to the kids books where the kid is prompted to add any word they can think of to teach them proper grammar and such.note there are times only changing a word or two in a line is right, and even times leaving a full line alone is wrong, but if half of the lines in your song are "hmm yes let me replace [noun] with Vidya and now the line is complete" you're not writing a parody.
>>722882925It's when the song is barely changed and just has a few nouns or verbs swapped. Your Pokéscope For Today uses the same ideas and just replaces the nouns with Pokémon. It's supposed to be about Gen Wars but it contains almost ZERO references to the things each Gen is actually (in)famous for or that get brought up by Gen Wars, so it fails at being funny because it's using made up scenarios that have nothing to do with Gen Wars.Imagine a song where the original lyrics go (not a real song)>I love you Judy, you're so hot Judy, your green eyes made me hard Judy, marry me Judyand someone wrote this as>I love you 2B, you're so hot 2B, your blue eyes make me hard, marry me 2BThis is what I mean by Mad Libs where there is no effort out in beside some basic swapping.There's definitely room for similar lyrics at times or even for keeping a specific key line the same as long as it fits the song. For example that Crossing the Rubicon parody from earlier in this thread keeps the last line of each chorus intact but that's because it relates to the chosen game as the name of the true route. Meanwhile most lines are totally changed to fit the new topic.
>>722883137>>722883184I've definitely done that a couple times unfortunately, but i've been trying to avoid it. Just didn't know that's what it meant. Thanks.
>>722883287You can always post lyrics in thread and ask for feedback. Just actually try to improve them instead of balking when that happens.
newest WIP for Sharty Vengaboys song. haven't done much to finalize things like volume, just a WIP to hear the vocals. diminishing returns on my practice, so unless there's a specific but we think I gotta clean up, I think this is about the part where I stop doing vocal takes and let an editor try to give it some filters/pitch shifts to make it sound as good as it'll get.WIP demo: https://krakenfiles.com/view/G63v5dvTNP/file.htmljust vocals: https://krakenfiles.com/view/2JVI3I5rGJ/file.htmlInstrumental (audio starts immediately but I have the vocals shifted like 1 second in along with the instrumental in the WIP): https://krakenfiles.com/view/7OixPqjhI0/file.html
>>722883515*dancing* this is a banger man
>>722883287It's actually very easy to do.Sometimes one will fall into it habitually.One has to just go back over their song periodically and ask "is there a better thing I can be doing here?""What percent of the lines mean the same thing as the original?"The easiest way to avoid it is changing the focus of a song. If you're parodying a love song, and the parody is not a love song, you can avoid it more easily.However, if in your new context a line takes on a completely new meaning, leaving it can be brilliant.For example, if someone were to take the song "Stalemate" from the Death Note Musical, and change the title to "Jailbait", make it about someone lusting over characters like Selphie Tilmitt or Lyn from FE7 that people forget are canonically underage, leaving the line "Clock is ticking let's just do it" would take on a completely different meaning in that context. Especially if the L analogue was a fed appointed to monitor the Light analogue.
>>722882632wow I love seeing a good song get burned on dogshit lyrics because someone is desperate to do anything from a particular singer
>>722883137hahaha I used poop for every line and it made me giggle, am I low iq?
>>722883137It was a gay, cold November day. I woke up to the happy smell of brown tit roasting in the bathroom downstairs. I fucked down the stairs to see if I could help rape the dinner. My mom said, "See if Dad needs a fresh penis." So I carried a tray of glasses full of piss into the fucking room. When I got there, I couldn't believe my balls! There were bonobos fucking on the car!
Late night Re-Shillin' time-Needs Vocals:>Princess Is Slayin' Me, based on Two Perfect Girls from the pokemon AnimeWarning: DLC song.. It's about the numerous routes in Slay The Princess, with a very strong vibe of "I love a girl who will just kill me" >Stayed With Rare, based on Stayed Gone from Hazbin HotelVoid Kong is convinced that he's the main villain of Bananza. But the king has returned. A duet, but one with a lot of sing-talking in character voices throughout. Out of my 3 remaining unsung songs, I'll show my bias and say this is the one I most want to see done. >Prima's Your Guide, Based on Wouldn't You Like from Epic: The MusicalA young Anon is struggling with a game, luckily a certain strategy guide has come to his aide. Technically needs two voices but I think it'd be easy to change your voice enough for the, like, 4 odysseus spoken lines? for one person to cover both parts. -Needs Backing Vocals:>Tomodachi IslandA silly little song about the absurdity of Tomodachi Life. If you're so inclined you can also use the link next to it on the sheet to generate in-lore text to speech for backing vocals. -Needs Editing:>Hundred Acres Live, based on Raise Up Your Bat from DeltaruneIt's been sung but hasn't been moved to the editing tab and I ain't fucking with that because I'd probably fuck up the sheet by accidentI think I'm just gonna hold back Horror Games and The Guy Who Didn't Buy Elder Scrolls until next year, need too many unique voices in too short of a time.
>>722884492Sometimes a dumb song is fine. But in a musical setting where every song can only be parodied a single time, it does suck to find out the song you want to parody got on madlibs.I loved the idea from a few years ago where someone suggested writing Horoscope For Today about the original 12 Smash roster. You could cover the full roster without any room to spare and you wouldn't even need to know Smash 64 to get the song, fucking everyone knows mario and pikachu.I have to agree with the other anon that the Pokemon lyrics this year are not really good. They don't seem have anything to say so it's essentially just filler lyrics. The original song is a strict story of the singer going through every horoscope and telling jokes about them. The parody starts listing Poke regions and then obviously runs out of them and has to start naming spinoffs. It leaves large chunks untouched out of laziness.>Now you may find it inconceivable>Or at the very least a bit unlikely>That a general opinion of a region Or a game >could have a special deep significance Or meaning >that exclusively applies to only you>But let me give you my assurance>That these blatant gen-war shitposts Are all based on >solid, scientific, documented evidence>So you would have to be some kind of retard>not to realize That every single one of them is absolutely true>Where was I?>Now you may find it inconceivable>Or at the very least a bit unlikely that>The relative position of the planets and the stars>Could have a special deep significance or meaning>That exclusively applies to only you>But, let me give you my assurance that>These forecasts and predictions are all based on>Solid, scientific, documented evidence>So you would have to be some kind of moron>Not to realize that every single one of them is absolutely true>Where was I?Changing the word "moron" to "retard" does not make it a parody or alter the meaning of that line. It's the same full long skit but less funny.
>>722885230Little idea for The Guy who didn't buy Elder Scrolls, seeing as I missed the chance to give feedback. What if, the last person on Earth who hadn't bought Skyrim, was Todd Howard himself and the twist is that he's now the victim of his own shillsThis would help get past the fact the original song takes on a new context after you watch the full musical by giving the song a new context on a second listen.
>>722882787Anon, you appear to be mischaracterizing the exchange.After this, you replied with>That's fair I guess. I just think it's less funny when it's Pokémon themed mad libs of the original song instead of recognizable issues with the games. Genwar threads don't have logic but this feels written by someone who has never been in a genwar thread even though you obviously have and know your stuff.The criticism is fair, but I didn’t consider it world-ending enough to warrant a rewrite, nor would I have taken this as a stern dressing down of the song in the first place other than saying “mad libs” once rather lightly. That doesn’t necessarily mean I “didn’t want to put in effort”. It just means I took a mild critique into consideration. I laid out why I wrote it that way, you mildly commented on it, and we moved on.But if you want to write a new parody, more power to you. If someone sings it, great! The song ends up in the musical regardless.We’re all about having fun here. That’s not meant to handwave all criticism, mind, but I don’t intend to take writing parodies of songs, some of which are already goofy, for a musical compilation on 4chan too seriously.
>>722885683jesus thats really bad, i hadnt read the original side by side with the parody. you could do so much more with it. sad
>>722886023it is a shame because the original is a beloved Weird Al original song, and those are not only beloved but short on supply while the musical DOES love covering them. if it gets wasted then people will regret it in future years when the Weird Al options are slim pickings.
>>722885940>I don’t intend to take writing parodies of songs, some of which are already goofy, for a musical compilation on 4chan too seriously.You're saying right here that you're not going to put effort in despite leaving most of the song essentially the same. If you don't give a shit why even shill your songs?
>>722802375>>722846367>>722847353it is complete
>>722885940realistically you just shouldn't have picked such a long, intricate, and funny song if your plan for writing it was to leave most of the lyrics alone and then say "well I don't take it seriously". there are a ton of shorter songs nobody cares about you could have parodied, people take the weird al ones seriously because he's essentially the parody god. just look at the anon going "oh no we don't have a weird al thing sung yet", some people do take it seriously.
>>722885940I dont mean to be harsh anon, the idea is good, but it feels like you could've explored it way further, changed more of the lyrics to make it your own, you know? i know you could do better too since you mentioned not taking it too seriously. but you can still make a fun goofy song while putting in effort.
>>722886232I think it looks cute, are these console-tans?
>>722886341yeah, from top-left clockwise there's ps5, obviously pc, switch 2, and series x
>>722885940This is why you should never be nice when giving feedback, because complete retards like this will disregard it unless you make them feel bad about it. Kill yourself you waste of space. /v/ the musical being about having fun doesn't mean you can put in zero fucking effort. You're like the guy who throws every match and then gets defensive when people call you a shitter by saying video games are just for fun man.
>>722886436brother you're right they were lazy on the parody and it probably shouldn't be sung, but you need to take a chill pill lmao
>>722886397You should probably make sure their recognize logos on somewhere on them since most people won't recognize stylized console tans.
>>722886507fair point
>>722885758You know, that's not a bad idea, actually.Funny enough, I almost made that the premise for a different Todd song once, Skyrim Crazy, but opted against it and I can't even recall why that was.But that change also helps me phase out some of the more generic references to "Anon" in the place of Paul. Which also makes it easier to flow since I don't have to get as goofy with the syllable counts. Gonna make some notes about that so I don't forget, good suggestion, anon
>>72280197911/10 album cover
>>722886556>>You know, that's not a bad idea, actually.nta but pretty much all of my favorite past songs have a specific joke they work towards. absolutely never a bad idea to go with something specific over a general joke. if a song has a funny premise, it's gonna make people smile.
>>722886294>>722886338Entirely fair. I saw an opportunity, went for it, and then moved on to writing others. I think I was just too focused on not making the song unrecognizable that it shifted in the other direction.After Not Like Us from last year was received so well I was more open to keeping songs flowing and focusing on general theme rather than agonizing over specific lyrics. I’ll keep this kind of stuff in mind for future songs.In the meantime, I have other songs, so I don’t mind ceding a particular song to a better parody.
>>722802375>>722886232edited ps5 and series x-tan to reflect >>722886507's suggestion
>>722886556Also, I might suggest the notion that it might help to set up the fact it's a dystopic future in the first verse instead of going for the joke about waking up. Possibly not only establishing it's 2050 (or whatever year you go with), but that there's actually penalties for not buying the game now.Maybe this could be used to alter some of the choruses too so they don't get so samey.Not sure. That part is actually very tricky to work.
>>722887029Not Like Us felt high effort at least to me. It felt like something you could actually rap in universe which gave it novelty.>>722887056noice. Probably needs an actual album name though.
>>722887029>I think I was just too focused on not making the song unrecognizable that it shifted in the other direction.yeah, there's a big issue with stuff like the quoted block earlier where the verse has 11 lines and you only changed 2 of them. It's not just recognizable but essentially the same song for that whole section.>I was more open to keeping songs flowing and focusing on general theme rather than agonizing over specific lyrics.It's not a bad mindset, but I really can't stress enough that if there's large chunks of the song where you would need to agonize to change more than 10% of the words, you're better off dropping the parody entirely instead of submitting it when it's not even half baked but unbaked. not every idea works for every song for every writer, that's part of the process.
>>722887124>>722802375like this?
>>722887395What's the original album here?
>>722887490nta but "Pop". So it's a perfect name imo.
>>722887490like anon said, it's U2's album "Pop"original is all the way up here >>722846367
>>722887395Flop is perfect great job.
glad there's some platform art, easy vote.
Alright fuck it, there's a song I'm making (and possibly singing) about chuunibyou (edgy for all you non wapanese) games and visual novels. I have an idea of what I want the song to be about, and I have the instrumental, but the problem is that I'm stuck on the writing process and don't know how to continue with the song. Here is what I have so far: https://pastebin.com/1597DC9K
>>722828273*hugs you*
>>722887867thanks anon
>>722887982not gonna lie I opened this hoping to help but 1. I don't know japanese and cross-language parodies are a huge bitch to write2. You just don't have much done yetI've dropped songs that I had much more finished on when I hit a brick wall. sometimes it's just not meant to be if you're at like 10% and already can't keep going. I hope someone comfortable with japanese is as passionate about the topic as you are, but that ain't me.
>>722887124It was an effort alright. Trying to come up with the lyrics got really frustrating and I ended up leaving in lines that I thought were really mediocre looking back on it afterwards. The part where Kendrick disses Drake’s friends comes immediately to mind, I floundered trying to reference the Alola Elite Four. It even has a madlibs in there. “Hala got a weird case” I think I just saw “Baka” and my pupils went wide like that shark in Finding Nemo. I’m pretty sure when it comes to that verse I STARTED with that and never actually went back to it.>>722887302I get that. Probably just the ‘tism making me want to finish something I started. I have a bad habit of sticking to things like that even if I’m better off without.
>>722888271ngl you should probably just solicit feed back in the future and mark lines that haven't been changed or have been Mad Libbed. Lots of anons will flock to you to help.
>>722888271ngl next time do what the anon writing the chuunibyou song just did, ask for help instead of dumping it on the sheet as-is.
please editors, have mercy on us, don't abandon our tracks...
Well, guess I can't even attempt to sing anything this year. I thought for sure I'd get one day where I had the chance during the month, but no.
>>722878875Maybe you can post the major sin of each song, so that everyone involved can improve?
>>7228879821. find an english cover, and base it off of that2. if not, find the romanji and work through it, trying to line pacing up the best you can (it fucking sucks but it's the best that can be done)3. it's a long and very fast paced song, it might be more worthwhile to save for next year instead of the 5 day crunch of interlanguage writers block; work on a block for a while, take a breather with some easier songs, then come back to itfor me, it's Ciel

>>722889929Rarely we sing over good OSTs that didn't originally have lyrics too, we did several this year
>>722890390>>722802375
>>722890390Pretty nice. I think there's too many deltarune written tracks but this was one of the few I hoped would get sung. Still think that final section could actually get parodied, Tenna has specific adjective words like Glooby that could add flavor if they replaced a generic word like scary.
VRChat... is sangn't....
>>722890197Well I wrote one of those songs, "Why Don't You Go Back to /vg/?" I do want to improve and write songs people like to sing and listen to, if a little criticism will help for next time I'd appreciate it.
>>722802375Backing vocals for Ride On Rhyme have been posted to the spreadsheet. https://krakenfiles.com/view/kZSuGuDWG1/file.htmlI've moved this to general edits so we should be set. You can probably double up the backing track and it'll be fine.
>>722890390once again I think the outro needs to be parodied instead of being the same, like>It gets groovy, glooby, marvel, mysterious great job overall
>>722890914erm based as fuck
>>722890745The list is mostly about unprofessional sounding singing+editing. It's whining anyway, ignore it
>>722890935"Groovy, Glooby, hey Mike, it's TV Time" could rock as final lyrics. Doesn't have to only be descriptive words because the OG was
>>722891202Love it. Hope they have time to just record and swap out the last couple lines there
>>722891202agree
>>722890390Awesome! Glad someone was willing to pick this one up.>>722890525>>722890935Remember, Tenna is NEVER glooby.Groovy would work though.If anon wants to redo the last part consider my stance to be>Tenna’s crazy, scary, groovy, spectacular!It rewrites it to be more of a presentation than a warning, which fits better for Tenna.
>>722891202This would probably work if not for the fact the syllables don’t match
>>722890745People like to listen to that one, as can be seen by the fact one of the replies said as much. It's a fun song. Like the other anon said, it's best to ignore it.
>>722891397Tenna admits he's glooby in the boss fight.
>>722891397Anon, did you even play the chapter? Tenna giving a whole speech admitting he's Glooby was one of the highlights of his character. I can't lie, it feels completely wrong to have a Tenna song that doesn't even mention Glooby, that's like if the spanton song didn't have him do hyperlink blocked
>>722891505Ah sorry was changing it based on what the other anon wrote assuming they were right on syllables. Either way it just feels right to parody the final chunk.
>>722891202>>722891505Should rephrase that, technically it’s the same amount of syllables but there’s too much of a disconnect between saying “spooky” and saying “hey Mike” and between saying “hilarious” and saying “it’s TV Time”, and if the rapper is going to repeat it several times they’re going to trip over it.>>722891590Well yeah, but like the Pipis that’s basically him acting like it’s a dark secret and then bargaining by saying everyone gets glooby sometimes, as if it’s him admitting to being racist or something.
>>722891752Keeping the outro the same is lazy and you should feel bad about not even trying.
>>722891814I rewrote it here>>722891397
>>722891752Rapper only really needs to get it right once to copy paste the line audio, but yeah it's up to them if they think they can get it to work. Either way I think Glooby should be in there, it's a defining part of his character and the first meme people bring up about him.
>>722891814get his ass
>>722891752Why would someone adamantly against Glooby write a Tenna song
>>722891930How about vocalizing it like>TENNA’S GROOVY>Glooby????>TV SPECTACULAR!>>722891990Much like Tenna I am truly a self-hating gloober against the world.With a hard r.
>>722892094Yeah if the singer wants to perform it with style they can. I don't really care about the exact words but Glooby does deserve a spot without a doubt and the outro shouldn't be identical to the original song so killing 2 birds with 1 stone is obvious there.
I think the lesson of the day is to always ask yourself this as a writefag considering leaving a line untouched:Am I leaving this lyric alone because there is truly no better and more fitting line for the parody topic, or am I just being a lazy bastard.
>>722892308>mfw I write a parody with a song so similar to the topic that I can't figure out a better line for most of them so I worry I'm mad libbing
>>722890390Jebus, I am ashamed of my unglooby words and deeds. If you feel like redoing the vocals on the last lines I replaced the pastebin.https://pastebin.com/dkQAQF4D
Tbh I thought he left it in intentionally as traits of the character.
>>722892440Already on it, my dude.Also if an editor wants to mix this better for me, they're more than welcome to.
>>722892450I was more willing to because of that, because I thought he would say something like that, but changing it is definitely better especially if it includes an obvious iconic catchphrase and actually alters all of the lyrics.
>>722892308I think starting-with-the-title-first-then-working-changing-the-lyrics fags have it right in the end
>>722892585That pretty much was the approach here, actually
>>722892697It's over
>>722892697Just do me a favor and never leave a line untouched ever. It's not ideal (some lines are better untouched) but it'll improve your writing 200%
>>722892419Well that's a flaw in itself, don't pick a topic so similar that you can't change anything. That means the original song is already the song you want, there nothing for you to do. Pairing a topic and original song is a skill in itself and there are good and bad pairs. Weird Al ain't turning a song about being a gangster into a song about being a mobster, he's turning it into a song about being Amish. He gets to keep some of the song alone when he does that because the warped context alone adds humor to the lines that aren't changed. It's lazy to keep lines alone because they're already what you want and witty to leave lines alone because it twists the meaning of them. The Saya song this year is really impressive at that imo. The context is completely different but in a way where a lot of the song's words and lines can still be used but in an ironic echo sort of way. A line about lust turns into a line about Stockholm's syndrome, calling someone an angel turns from praise to haunting, focus on a voice turns from necessary because the song is about a phone call to necessary because the plot of the game involves the character only hearing 1 other person normally. There's a dozen parallels between the original song and parody and none of them are "well the topic is similar so it's left alone".
>>722892489Your edits are pretty good, we're short enough on supply that if anything the average song a sheet editor gets to is probably worse off than your self edits.
>Anno Domini 2025>Still no Protomen parody song.You'd think the announcement of Act III would spur anons to action.
>>722889690I'm ESL
>>722893052What would you turn a song already about a video game into? That’s kind of why we avoid those most of the time
>>722892928This. There are "easy" parodies and then there are "creative" parodies. Easy is just another word for lazy. It's ok to do lazy songs sometimes but you gotta force yourself to put more than the minimum effort on them.
>>722893132What is LUTN about?
desu some of my favorite songs really try to work within the idea or point of the original song but with a twist to keep the audience guessing. In the Grips of an Angel as >>722892928 pointed out is one example. Another is say **** 2B where the original song has the words "****ing A" bleeped out except at the very end where he says "Fucking A." Someone listening to **** 2B assumes the joke is the same and that's it's about fucking 2B. But the last iteration it's "fuck 2B" it's "save 2B" which gives the song another twist.thats meaningful to the video game it's about.>>722893129is Spanish your first language?
>>722893052They're already about a video game series. We make 99% of the songs worse, the only real niche we have is making them Vidya or making them funny. And Protomen songs are so dramatic and mood-focused that it's hard to make them funny without the joke being "haha edgy song but silly topic".
>>722893189Agree 100%. It's not my favorite song but someone did a parody of My Freeze Ray called My Waifu where it's just a generic Waifu song, and imo the only reason I didn't forget it instantly after hearing it is that the writer added a twist joke that the Waifu he's been singing about generically all song is only 8. If you can change the context of a song it will stick with people and make them think.
This topic put into words why I didn't like the gay nigga gay gay song from last year. It's the same song. The "haha he said gay nigga" joke is already present in the original song, it just changed from "haha it sounds like he said it" to "he literally said it". Which imo kills the humor entirely, now it's not a funny language barrier coincidence but just a racist homophobic song on purpose. You can make a racist homophobic song funny, but those lyrics didn't try, it's carried entirely by the joke the OG song has and how catchy the OG song was. I feel like anyone that calls it's a funny song is just saying the OG was funny but they aren't that familiar with it.
>>722893132>>722893297I think you could do a song about 4am threads. Then again you already have the /v/ sings Light Up The Night song.If you do Keep Quiet I think you could do a funny parody song about the relationship between posters, jannies and mod staff.>>722893164IDK how familiar you are with The Protomen but their albums, Act I and Act II are a rock opera about Mega Man. Act I is more direct while Act II works as a prequel and is a less direct reference to the game series.Light Up the Night became an unofficial board anthem in the late 2010's especially with the prevalence of 4am threads.The band itself has a strong cult following here on 4chan and other adjacent sites. When Act III was announced recently the thread reached 1000 posts after being stealth stickied by mods who also embedded Light Up The Night into the thread >>722277742. The second thread earlier this week when the latest Act III songs dropped quickly reached +400.
>>722892440Re-done. I sound retarded acting out that last line but it's correct.https://krakenfiles.com/view/pGx9QSdKXl/file.html
>>722894178That's sorta the issue, no matter what you do to Light Up The Night it will never be more /v/ than Light Up The Night already is. We can only downgrade it.
>>722894302Soul and very much worth it, great job
>>722894302Excellent work, Jebus.
Ok but now sing my song
>>722894339Yeah the same thing happened with the Rick Roll song until someone turned it into deltarune song #57 in year 11 or so

>>722894339Yeah, Light Up the Night is untouchable but I think the other songs could work. It'd take a whole lot of effort but I think you could make something good.The Hounds might work as a parody of Youtube/Twitter vidya outrage baiters or rage bait threads in general.>WHAT WAS THE GAME!?>Doesn't matter, now listen.You could probably do a parody of Here Comes The Arm where Anon whines about /v/ calling his favorite game shit.>The anons gathered here>Once again they fail to see>You can't set a game at /v/'s feet and not have it called shit.Maybe just say fuck it and make it a whole parody album about an oldfag and anon vs the shitposters. >There are no games, this board is doomed.It'd take a Herculean effort but it might work. IDK I'm just spit balling ideas at this point. This late into this years album, It'd be better to wait till next year.
>>722894160I agree with this but people think it's inherently funny to say slurs on purpose.
>>722893052I half wrote a parody for Hold Back The Night since it's in the act 3 track listing but it's not really much. I'd try to finish it but I am worrying I'd just be wasting a good track
>>722895297Shit, I just noticed what game this was based on.Neat pick. Could be fun if Captcha sang it.
>>722820984>>722802375The Corporeal Gull Out of Koholint Is Off Dream Island!The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us! - Sufjan Stevenshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBse9Y6zucs Instrumental: https://krakenfiles.com/view/UnLw21GDmq/file.htmlI'd just alluded to Impossible Soul in another thread when someone requested this song. The original is a moody, thoughtful sort of love song mingling love for faith, love for the natural beauty of the Palisades, and love for a boy with whom a relationship cannot be, so I thought about Link's Awakening—a love for dreams, love for the natural beauty of the island so lovingly detailed in the game, and love for a girl with whom a relationship cannot be, given that she's actually a seagull. This is for the anon who wanted to do this song. All right let me know if you have issues with the way I wrote the lyrics and no biggie if you don't want to do it anon. Great taste in music.Pronunciation guide: Mabe [May-beh] Koholint [Koe-hoe-lint] Toronbo [Toe-rown-bow] Tal Tal [Tall Tall]Holding the instrument, I walk to Mabe.I stand by the square with her song in the air.Wearing eight shadows of memories weighty,I lose my own past between dream and nightmare.Oh, I am not quite sleeping.Oh, I am not awake.There on the shore by the cliffside seeking,I hear a gull and her song's heartache.[Instrumental]South of Toronbo, we gaze out from Koholint.She sits there wearing her sunset red bloom.There between palm trees, my sea girl is pecked over waves.She flies, hiding her prayer in her plume.Oh, how I meant to take her.Oh, how I meant to love.Hatching the egg by my hand, I wake her.I hear the gull in the heavens above.[Instrumental]Oh, fair winds to what she wished! Ballad of—Seashell sword and shoreline glint. Ballad of—We were in love. We were in love.Koholint! Koholint!I'm adrift. I'm adrift.[Backing simultaneous to above]Toronbo and Tal Tal cliff. Ballad of—

I feel like drawing song art for Grimsokyo, which 2hus should replace the ayys? Eraser is track 2 on the original The Arrival album so it could totally work out for a spin on the original, and if it doesn't win the poll we still kinda get to use the art.
>>722877839easier to roll your R when you're compressing hard and singing with the front of your face with easy access to your tongue tip. do wish i could go deeper sometimes but it just ends up sounding unnatural. just scrubbed through the demo and it's all good - noticed you did the "he hears the call echoing" a bit different but i was kinda torn it myself and prefer your take so i'll redo that and anything else necessary to realign. i am however completely locked out of using Kraken now so if you can help reupload these to another service i'd be obliged.
>>722873504Ok retard Newfag here who has also been playing with it>ignore the multiple template lines they are pointless and gay just add new lines if you need them>press the “FX” button on the left of each line to add reverb and shit>if you need different FX for different parts of a song cut and paste to a new line
>>722902404There's a way to create an "FX" envelope that lets you control how much of the mix is "wet" i.e "fx output" under the "Params" button in the FX menu after clicking your FX. I recommend playing with it because it lets you fade in reverb and shit
>>722878875>tfw your takes just never get mentioned everPerhaps it’s for the best but I want attention
>>722902554Oh and you can control an envelopes "joints" with ctrl+click, then just drag that stuff up and down until it looks like it fades in out, or sharply cuts if you want

What the fuck is UVR in the Instrumental column?
>>722904906UVR's something that's used to remove vocals, which I assume means if a song has it in that column means that whoever wrote it is intending to either use that to provide instrumentals on request or thinks that they'll just get help in getting it by putting it in the sheet.
