>>722910041Holy shit.Gaston anon, that you?
>>722910395Yeah?
>>722895035 In MY factory, every morning everybody bows down and sings... the CUNNY song!
>>722911776Just saying that's some impressive work.
>>722912373Thank you mate, it is really appreciated
Love all the newfags this year, we got more fresh blood than typical and the musical is a lot better off for it
It's Friday entering the final weeking of this musical, let's all have some fun and get some good stuff going!! It's already been a great year with lots of great songs and art, very proud of you all and hyped to see what else is coming!
When is Have Sex Fuck Fairies gonna be finished
How many days do I actually have left to edit my shit? Been busy with work but I’ve figured out how to add reverb and such
>>722912883Ideally? Until the 15th.Realistically? The last few musicals we have done mixing after the deadline but the longer we take the farther away the stream is pushed. Couple of days but try to not take longer I guess
>>722912883There's a grace period after deadline, but it's uncertain. Definitely make sure you're balancing the sound right, because I remember back when I first edited I made the backing track too quiet on a song, and I've felt bad about it since.
>>722912849Cunnychads are used to suffering unfortunately. Does that one have a full take yet? there's a few on the sheet like "I Wanna Bait Moralfags" that seem to just be marked by a troll and probably won't actually get done, it's a sad fate but one we are used to.
>>722912883Until a couple years ago the deadline was the 15th and people didn't work past it. It recent years we've decided to spit in the jannies faces and tell them we'll stay as long as we want, and we haven't been killed for it yet so I'm sure people will tempt fate yet again. We're probably aiming for a stream on the 25th this year, which means if you don't care about the janny's wrath everything really should be locked in by the 20th so the compiler can compile the files and lyric timers can lyric time without having to work 16 hours shifts over just a couple days to get it done. But imo any song we're working on past the 15th should be looked at as a failure of the community and our legacy and an affront to the moderators that kindly let us stay here despite us breaking rules of the board. I remember the years we were banished from /v/ by the mods and don't want to relive that but I guess not many newfags remember those days so they think it will never happen to them.
>>722913178There was a partial take but that's about it.
>>722913676Cunnychads stay suffering, as is our lot in life....
>>722911830>I don't want no boobas when my PCs running I just want a game with the cute and the funny
>>722913537"To /v/ or to not /vg/. That is the question."
>>722913809The joke is actually that we already parodied the bunny song as the cunny song very many years ago
>>722913537If we get told to fuck off from /v/ again it could unironically spell the death of the musical. We do not have the manpower or dedicated planners that we used to, I'm sure if people one day just can't find the /v/tm thread on /v/ they won't even know to check /vg/. And /vg/ is far more schizo than it used to be, if we did host their it's without a doubt a lot of insane people would enter to try and scare us off the board or derail us, imagine 3+ of that ENA dude from earlier this year at the same time.
>>722914334I'd be more worried about the /vg/ mods, they're a lot stricter now and I could see them telling us to fuck off instantly.
>>722914090damn
>>722908350reposting album art hope someone uploads it to the drive for me
Tldr for anyone that knows how to edit, consider doing it now. It is not a joke that we do not have time on our side there, I have a feeling editors are gonna say "ok it's the 16th time to finally start editing now that I can't sing more" only to realize the pile is far too big for them to get through. A lotta songs are gonna get bad edits due to lack of time this year if we just sit on 30 unedited tracks day after day until the final 3 day rush where that balloons to like 100 tracks.
>>722914720Some men just want to watch the sheet burn.
>>722914334iirc in year 4-6 we worked primarily on /vg/ but still made /v/-threads every other day or so to get new anons on board. those were never deleted or anything, they just died because we didn't have nearly as dedicated bumpfriends around. weird thing is we still kept growing during that whole time. wasn't until after 6 shipped that the decline started. figured it was because of constant off-putting drama but now i'm starting to think it was a bigger cultural shift.
>>722914873It's 2016, the website fundamentally changed permanently because of it. The whole Internet really. Pre-2016 the Internet was usually a casual thing to visit or a hobby and people just did stuff for fun. Post-2016 you can't do anything without floods of rage bait and shilling no matter where you are. You can't have a place to discuss video games without people spamming "Muslim man uses evil shock collar on dog!!" to try and radicalize others or enrage others, and you can't attempt to discuss "hey this game is kinda fun" without faggots spamming that you should die or you should buy an ad or spamming wojaks at you or spamming hate.As a response basically the only way around such bad actors is increasing censorship or insular communities. People hate on discord, but you can actually have focused discussions with like-minded people there without a fag with a folder of racist wojaks and a VPN being able to terrorize everyone forever. It leads to hug boxes and everyone staying in their own bubbles but as long as there are hard rules for things like no politics and no infighting then it does allow some discussions even if it's not truly the same as like 2007 4chan where someone can make a joke about spilling chocolate milk and the randoms seeing it will play along and even the mods will have a sense of humor and join in because they aren't busy tracking down the guy spamming illega porn across 4 boards with his VPNs.It's no shock 4-6 we're the years we fell apart because it's the years the Internet started falling apart.

>>722915848Thanks for mixing Grips of an Angel!! I've no clue on music stuff but when I don't want to vomit when hearing my voice that's a big win in my book!
>>722916679That's based.
>>722915887desu just tell him you're interested in his work because you've always loved music. assuming the relationship isn't bad he might like having a way to connect with someone about something he's probably passionate about, music ain't something you go to school for because it's an easy paycheck.

>>722919924I like the concept, may still record it before the deadline if I've got time. It bothers my autism that "/vg/" does not rhyme with "play" though. The chorus in that song really leans on the rhyme between "dee-jay" and "play". Maybe "I post on /vg/, just one game for me"?

>>722922234From what I understand, K is actually doing that one. She just doesn't mark her tracks, and she delivers late in the musical.

>>722922371yeah that one had her name on it but I know people like to troll with that too sometimes, someone put her on the cocaine song too early on. either way if it does end up getting finished that's very cool

>>722922490I dunno, I think she also said something about it in the thread at some point, but I might be mistaken. Here's hoping.
>>722922595they're not mad about shilling, they're mad you're shilling directly onto the anchor that says it's there only for new content. it exists so people without time can get a cliff notes on the newest stuff asap without re-reading stuff they already knew about.

>>722923023there's more than that this year, the pop-anon suggested a lot of songs and I think most got left. VRChat and Manlygirl were done by suggestion for sure.
>>722923223Good suggestion. Thank you.
>>722908350https://krakenfiles.com/view/paKUdyuZwZ/file.html
>>722923023I was actually gonna go try Wings of Assholery today if singing in my car works out.
we're probably missing some song arts in the folder too, the janny one from last thread isn't in the folder yet. is that one still getting edited?
>>722923223Woke up this morningTurned on my consoleNothing doingI feel depressionIn the depths of my soulSomeone's foolingWhat do you think?
>>722923298replying to myself, wait I brainfarted you mentioned manlygirl already. I can't think of which ones the pop anon suggested now but someone posted a list of them like 4 or 5 threads back and I was surprised like none of them got done at the time.
>>722923314That was actually a reference to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH4qvzVaBe0
>>722923453yo BASED
>>722921417Is this old art work because I feel like Spore has come and gone.
>>722923621kek I still like the suggestion though.
>>722908409Need backing vocals for Wokes go to Gamedev and Metaphor ReFantaziano.Also need the other set of vocals for Diversification, could even use 2 people for that
>>722923756when i wrote the song in the back of my mind i was thinking "I'm gonna make some art for this if someone ends up singing it" because having a guy holding a penis creature seemed like a funny visual to me
>>722914873>weird thing is we still kept growing during that whole timebecause it wasn't "not enough bumpfags," iirc we were posting just fine on /v/ but /v/ was a very fast board at the time. our deadest (certain timezone sleeping) hours required /vg/, and the project itself kind of requires a thread up at all times. I think even our active hours were getting knocked off but not because we were thin in numbers, the board was just that fast a push to page 10
>>722923395Good sound quality, some of the fury in certain lines is really funny>even Super was goodCome on now…
>>722921417nice, should say XIII if you can squeeze it in there.
>>722914720we need to go back to only accepting proper demos. vocals alone are not enough, we need a working demo of it over an instrumental to at least weed out severely mistimed takes or somethingI'm just assuming there's a lot of vocal only submissions though, I haven't looked
>>722925419yeah this year we sometimes go 30 minutes between posts and it doesn't kill the thread. that was unthinkable even a couple years ago. /v/ as a board is much slower now due to how many people never came back post-hack. it seems like the musical anons had some dedication because we have a pretty nice retention rate this year, some of the anons that aren't singan stopped in to explain they simply don't have time this year but look forward to next year.
>>722923183I think the instrumental is wrong, the sheet was updated with a UVR version a while ago since the one provided was wrong. I'm sorry for the confusion. If you'd rather move on from it that's fine.
>>722925685desu demos don't really weed out much, the singer has to have shame to care. we have stuff on the finished sheet this year where the singer mistimed the line so poorly that they had to add entire new syllables into the line to make up for it that weren't in the lyric sheet, so it just sounds nothing like the original line at all now.
>>722925685Should I just remove my raw vocal krakenfiles from the sheet if I’m doing it myself?
>>722915848>>722918552Grips of an Angel backings (2 set for panning if necessary)https://files.catbox.moe/g5ynpe.flachttps://files.catbox.moe/lh874d.flachttps://files.catbox.moe/8knrrk.flachttps://files.catbox.moe/6ejxs7.flac>>722916410thanks - Gofile works for downloading, i just can't upload to it myself. getting to work in a bit.
>>722925968if you're editing a song it doesn't need to be on the editing sheet yes. that sheet is for songs seeking an editor, with how few we have this year it's very important people aren't continually doing the same songs over and over.
>>722923395Nice mixing. Glad this one’s done too.
>>722925793No I can just update it and retime it a little. I didn't notice much of a difference in the instrumentals though, did you use a version that was slightly faster than the original one or something?
>>722926006mega kino, hope we get a sick mix out of it
>>722926125No, it's missing instruments, and I think that makes the timing feel even more off. Did you compare the track with the original vocals on top of this other one? It feels like the parody is a bit delayed.
>>722922234it's getting slightly hyped so I'm worried it's not gonna be that great, just a heads up. but I'm doing it. I only have a messy demo of it so far
>>722926408Usually when I mix anything I get the original vocals and the instrumentals side by side and if I don't get a studio quality instrumental I usually shit one out with UVR after downloading it.From what I'm seeing in REAPER, the version you got with UVR now is faster than the version I have which is where the issue is.Can you post the original song file so I can get the vocals from it for reference?
>>722926493the important thing is having fun on it, everything is hype when just seeing something posted at all is kino
>>722926658hell yeah and amen
>>722926642Ah shit I didn't know that, my bad. I just dumped the original file that I used for the UVR in place of the youtube link in both sheets. Is that alright?
>>722926916That works, I'll get it done later in the evening.
>>722908267when was the last time /v/ wasn't portrayed as angry
>>722926956Thank you a lot, and once again sorry for the inconvenience.
>>722926493as long as the masses get enough chicken jockey they'll get placated
I wanna write something about the original Doom for this one but I'm not sure if black metal anon would be up for one more melodic death metal song, also it's kind of late in the musical to shit out new lyrics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf_BtBtwnHk
>>722927449yeah honestly this close to the end if nothing is written it's best to just save the idea for next year. you could rush out lyrics and someone could rush out a take then rush out an edit, but it'd turn out better if all sides had time to do it right next time.
How many queen's of /v/ have we had this far?
>>722927449Worst case you can just repost it next year.
>>7229270842015
>>722927569Six, the seventh will be crowned this November
>>722927569Queen /v/ has gone on since 2019 and it's always at the end of the year, so 5Madotsuki was the 5th.Before that was uh, curly braceBefore that MidnaThen Reimuand then Samus
>>722927660Oh wait no I'm retarded, it's six since Recette also won in 2021
>>722927084when he is portrayed as frustrated and horny
>>722927575there's 200 tracks not finished this year like every year. we really can't perpetuate the cycle of "just take everything not done and bring it back next year". it makes the sheet a mess where a bunch of lyrics just aren't good and won't ever be done because people decided long ago that they don't want to do it. there's really no benefit to dumping something on the sheet with the expectation that you'll just use it as sloppy seconds next year, just make it fresh next year and maybe they'll even be new doom info to write into the track.
>>722927837>new doom infoAnon the original doom and doom II are probably the most documented games ever created
>>722927956and we still sometimes get new stuff worth bringing up about them. I considered writing a song for myhouse.wad, and it came out in 2023.
>>722927647>>722927660I was thinking making album art using one of those Idol albums, 7 girls, but maybe I'll leave it for next year.
>>722928068well yeah if it's 7 girls next year we'll have 7 to use so that sounds like a perfect time to do it.

>>722928147Worst case an Archvile or Revenant can take the role to add to the comedy, but I'll hold off on it for now since there's so much other shit to do.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMcb1Bmbv_8
>>722926006Cool, I tried using that vocal isolation trick to help figure out what's going on in the background but I could very well have gotten it wrong.It's all separate tracks anyway, so it should all be easy enough to work with.
>>722928038>I considered writing a song for myhouse.wadyou should next year, it is one of the few unexpected 10/10 gaming experiences I had in a long life of gaming
>>722928253That gives me a year to practice my highs.
>>722908350I did a thing!https://krakenfiles.com/view/7ikeSwWUHD/file.htmlIs this workable? There is slight clicking/popping at two instances, which I'm not educated enough to know how to deal with, also didn't use any noise removers, or edits, should've i?
>>722923395Fucking MARVELOUS.
>>722929090nice voice for the track!>There is slight clicking/popping at two instances, which I'm not educated enough to know how to deal withan editor might be able to fix that but in general it's a good idea to do a 2nd take and hopefully the noises are in different spots so the editor can mix a full song without the noises. personally when it happens to me I just note the lines with the noise and record just those ones again.> also didn't use any noise removers, or edits, should've i?we're short on editors but this take is pretty good and if an editor hears noise I'm sure they know how to remove it. this audio's noise is not that bad so I'd say it's fine until the editor nitpicks at it.
>>722929090sounds just fine to me! got the occassional click and pop too because of working on old hardware, if it's not constant noise it's usually salvagable with the right tools. sounds like the vocals overlap in a couple places tho, should probably upload them separately so an editor can work on them in isolation for better results.
>>722929420>>722929434thanks lads, you warm cockelsive saved the FL (dont mock me too hard i like it) file in whic i have up to five takes of ( i think ) all verses and choruses, i just wasnt sure how should i upload them? Just name them verse 1 take 1-5, verse 1 take 2-5, and so on? Put all of it in the "singer" cell in the spreadsheet?
>>722929940yeah I would just name them with any sort of logic so an editor knows what is what, then zip all of those files, then upload the zip to a site that you can link in the vocals spot on the spreadhsheet.
>>722929940should work fine i think. even if an editor doesn't have FL they can hopefully realign the audio files anyway.
tempted to sing another rock song but there's barely any time left and i really should pick at least one track out of my comfort zone
>>722930665sing my songs, they're the ones with anon in the writer's field
Good morning, /v/ The Musical! How are we feeling?
Good morning anons, I hope you have a Lucky Lucky day!!Today's good luck charm comes through sheer luck alone!Do what you want today, and embrace the luck as it comes!!Our ambient luck surrounds us this final week! Let it coalesce within you! Today's blessing is a freebie!
>>722922416It's in. I've never done anything like this before so thank you to all the Anons for the advice and criticism. I hope to improve and to start earlier next year. I'm in the market for a new laptop so maybe I'll look into some recording equipment as well.
>>722930970it's all good, people can be harsh but they can't tell between genuine noobs and bad actors so sometimes they get on edge. don't be afraid to ask for help the rest of this year, and I hope to see you back next year.
>>722931036Thank you very much for the kind words and understanding.
>>722908350ANONS.... I hope you're ready for what's coming, because nothing can stop it nowhttps://krakenfiles.com/view/3zk277Rurg/file.html
>>722930970I'm one of the anons who yelled at you. Sorry man, we've had some malignant across this year. Welcome and good song choice. I hope to see you here next year as well.
>>722931358wonderful, there's 2 of them now. can only hope the sharty one gets as soulful of an edit.
>>722908350Mambo a la Peppino. Will probably do another take with a different version of the song and send this one to DLC, but if I don't get around to it I'll touch up this version.https://krakenfiles.com/view/9N6a9xzXzK/file.html
>>722931538holy shit, this is supposed to sound rough? you fuckin nailed that son of a bitch. can't wait to hear whatever version ends up on an album.
the soul... I feel it returning to the musical...
>>722931494No worries, it's all good. I needed to know that what I was doing was annoying.
>>722930905Just 5 days left! I can feel it, Matikanefukukitanon. My song will be sung soon!

>>722931538Hey wanna duet? I'll do the backings of mambo a la peppino if you do the backings of metaphor refantaziano
>>722931358
Anon where are you, your vocals were good despite what anyone said. There are plenty of songs on the sheet that would really fit your voice well. Sing my song pls.
>>722932480I haven’t really thought about that part, feel free to add any suggestions.
>>722932526nta but I quite like it. unsure on how those things usually go, I could see it as a 3-way deathbattle between the other anon, the solo anon here, and this duo version.
>>722929420>>722929434many thanks to the kind annons that spoonfed me Here's all vocal takes ordered by verse takes and chorus takes for any editors that have big enough balls to listen to me on repeat until it sounds passable https://krakenfiles.com/view/QkHuYkjQRz/file.html
>>722932526mix sounds great, i'd just turn the backings down so they're just there in the background all subtle-like and the main character sounds more isolated.
>>722932526might be a little busy with 3 full volume voices, it kinda clashes with the song's lyrics being about the guy going crazy as a shut in. I do like it though, might just need volume adjustments.
>>722933338i should've anchored this,>>722908350 my bad heres a bump and thighs
>>722931607Thanks!>>722932695Sounds good. I'll try to get the other Mambo a la Peppino out as soon as possible for you.
Hey Captchanon, love your take on Rhythm Heaven. Don't listen to fags, you just need a tad bit more pronunciation and its perfect. The notes are on point.
Once again shilling for Lucky Lucky Uma. It's a pretty short and simple song. Having a femanon for it would be great, but male vocals work just fine too!

>>722934258Love that! The volume tweak was the right call for sure.
>>722934258That's great!! And thanks to Kiwi for the backing vocals, I think it helps a lot!
>>722933850I might rerecord some parts or try to improve them in post. Speaking of which, I put my own mix on the sheet for a mix battle and this is the second time it's disappeared. What Google Sheets fuckery is this?
>>722935065we've had a lot of sheet trolls this year, especially earlier on this year we had to do a lot of reverts. not just you but for everyone, it's a good idea to check all your stuff is on there, re-add it if needed, and let the thread know with a link to the file so at worst it gets sorted out when organizers are cleaning up the locked sheets and nobody can fuck with it anymore.
>>722935065As someone who has the sheet open for long periods of time, what seems to be happening based on what I've seen is that someone keeps making copies of all the sheet tabs and then deleting the originals every once in a while, which for whatever reason, not only fucks up the colors of the cells, but also fucks up any cells with more than one link, only keeping the first one.
>>722935220oh shit that should have been brought up a long while ago, we have a bot that fixes vandalism automatically this year by replacing the sheet with an instant replay backup, but it's very possible that it could be doing something like clearing multi-link cells unintentionally in the process.
>>722934258That's good. I'd put this vs the other anon in the death battle and leave the mix1 (just the solo anon w/o kiwi) in the big DLC pile of extra files. mix2 is just mix3 with rougher volume so I don't think it needs to be in the pile.

>>722936668how cute, a newfag
>>722936098Look, I'm happy someone wrote a Claude song, I was hoping for one of those, but>town / surprise>was / for>dialogue / surpriseThese are supposed to rhyme. In fact, it feels half the rhymes that ARE there only are because they're the same rhymes from the original song......which happens a lot; huge chunks of the lyrics are unchanged.I know some people here feel you shouldn't do a parody whose theme is too similar, but personally I think it can work.But this definitely isn't an example of that.
>>722936953I have to agree, writefags sometimes get a lot of slack because people can't "hear" it sounds wrong when it's just text. you have to compare it to the original to notice how it misses so much of the original. a song doesn't have to rhyme, but the parody should match the rhymes of the original unless there's a REALLY good reason to break the rhyme, and none of the lines in that song stand out as "wow that's genius, it gets a pass".
Kek I wanted to write Amnesia Was Her Name but I saw there were too many Deltarune songs this year so I'm saving it for next year.
>>722936953When listening to the original I figured some of the lines were far enough apart that a rhyme misalignment wouldn't be that big of a deal. But it might have just been laziness. Do you think it's worth trying to fix, or is the subject matter just not going to lend itself to a good song in the end since it's so similar to the parody topic?
>>722937228To clarify, if this parody is just going to suck I'll retract it so we don't waste a good song
>>722936668SHUT UP NIGGER
>>722937441
>someone else sang Ultra Redo before meI still sang it and am going to (have someone else) edit it onto the instrumental, but I'm sure mine will be worse so it can go straight to DLC. Just happy that it got sung. I didn't end up vibing as much with the other two songs so I'll just probably do this one but next year I'll probably have more time and would love to have a more in depth song about the game that covers a bit more of the insanity.
>>722937228>When listening to the original I figured some of the lines were far enough apart that a rhyme misalignment wouldn't be that big of a deaThe concept of the song is good and I like it but it just needs more work to make the lyrics distinct There are tons of good Claude memes you could use that aren't use the badge man's house.
>>722937228>I figured some of the lines were far enough apart that a rhyme misalignment wouldn't be that big of a deal. But it might have just been laziness. nta but any time something is skipped in the process it's absolutely laziness. you know it doesn't improve the song to skip the rhymes, "it's not a big deal to skip this" is never anything except laziness. in a system where we get 350+ lyrics submitted but only like 150 get sung, frankly the lazy songs deserve to get skipped. if you're hoping your song gets sung over 200 other songs, put the effort in to make yours well above average, because the average song doesn't make the cut in a just world where less than half are sung.>or is the subject matter just not going to lend itself to a good song in the end since it's so similar to the parody topic?It might not be a great matchup if it's too similar yeah. I am sure it could work, but that requires being creative and high effort in the lyrics to make the new ones stand out. It can unironically be more work to parody a song with a too similar match, but the way to do it correctly is to take the time to personally look at every single line, without exception, and figure out if there's any way to inject some extra flavor, or lore, or storytelling into them. Not every line will be able to do that, but every line should be given scrutiny on if it's left alone because that's easy or if it's left alone because there truly is nothing better that can be done there.I don't think it's unworkable, but the key there is work. are you going to put the work in?
>>722937710>>722937765I'll workshop it more and remove from the sheet, and add it back only if I can get something better
>>722937607very kino that 2 people even considered it, I wasn't expecting the game to get the love this year. will be very glad to hear anything you submit.next year I might write something that goes deeper into it, even ultra redo I wasn't sure on because it technically is a spoiler even if it isn't super deep into the game overall. if we can do the "you're fiction" song from danganronpa, we can do a stellar song for some of the crazy 100L routes next year.
>>>/a/282907042
>>722937765>because the average song doesn't make the cut in a just world where less than half are sung.never thought about it like that but it makes sense.
>>722937972I'd LOVE to be a part of it, and honestly a year gives me time to get through the other 86 routes. I'm a sucker for Kodaka and Uchikoshi so the combo project was a big draw for me.>will be glad to hear anything you submitWe'll see about that one anon, I'd expect it to be tonight or tomorrow
I tried singing in my car while innawoods and while it was good for privacy it was total ass positioning wise, think I might've tired out my voice trying to get all my takes but I'll see how they are when I mix them
>>722937938Can I help you out and try workshopping the lyrics? I'm the one who helped with the badge man lawn line.

>>722945347I'll parrot the thing the other anon said where the average song isn't sung because less than half of submitted songs are, so if you write something average it should be skipped.
I am proud of every fag that touched the different versions of Grips of An Angel. Thanks.
>>722945075I already have, 3 times overall since the first time I've sung. My confidence grows with each attempt.

>>722947049sing anything you want. can always do it an octave lower if you can't hit the high notes.or if there are specific songs you know, list them with some topics you'd be interested in singing about and a writer or two will write one just for you

>>722947049there are many options for pitch:1. just ignore the pitch of the original entirely and sing it as you, Weird Al is famous and great at this, he does not do falsetto any time he parodies a woman2. pitch your voice to the vocals of the original. sometimes it sounds bad, but we're comedy-based so that's usually funny and a bonus. The Vengaboys song this year is doing that >>7229313583. you can also just pitch change the instrumentals to match the singer's voice, several singers here do that. iirc the cunny uoh song is doing something like that this year?>Alternatively, are there any good songs for a complete beginner?You can always pick something that isn't really asking for serious singing skill. We literally have a Happy Birthday song this year if you just want to record 20 seconds as practice and get mixed into the crowd. There are songs like "Smash Up The Rocks" where the performer isn't even really a singer and it's a cartoon movie where you can mostly speak to the rhythm through the song. that can require a little charisma and having some fun with it though, especially if you want to imitate John Goodman and not just be you. The Ren and Stimpy Log song turned into "Duke" is short and simple and you can probably be mixed into a group with others. Laugh at Smashfags is another short cartoon one. Overall the final goal is to have fun, if you get over the worry you can sing anything you want and it'll work out.
>>722947049have fun and sing whatever the heck you wantsing the Happy Birthday song (this will take you no time)sing the shanty King of Hyrule
I can't believe we're only like 2 days away from the end of the musical
>>722947393>>722947506>>722947705Thanks anons. Sometimes I shoot myself in the foot for being overly ambitious but for now I'll just pick the song I like the most, hide in my closet and give it a try.Definitely will be off key but maybe someone can help me with pitching the instrumentals down later.
>>722948384lets be real most of our singers don't know what keys are, you'll do fine
>>722946725I need someone to sing them first!
>>722948708nigga the edit sheet got 30, I slowed down on singing specifically because I don't want to add to a backlog that big
>>722939552Okay so I want to kind of wipe the slate and start from the beginning. First thing to nail would be what specifically it should be about. Version 1 was just Cerulean and a few of those memes with the titular character being the blue haired lass. It could instead be him referring to locations as Cleared Context, with each verse going through a different location, maybe like mt moon -> cerulean -> vermillion? As in "Cleared Context was IT'S name" rather than HER name. That might allow for more memes to get crammed in just because each area has it's own set
>>722918430They've been on my radar pretty much from the start, but between the multiple types of screams required, the rapid-fire syllables, and lots of different vocal layers, they're very hard songs to both sing and edit.

>>722948892gotta agree with this anon. there's not much time left this year, and a song like that is not only hard to learn and perform, and requires extra privacy compared to quiet songs, but I'm no trained singer so I'll probably screw myself out of recording other songs when I overdo it and fuck my throat up.
>>722948769I think that having it go back to the blue haired lass makes more sense and makes it more poignant but we can talk about different places and go back to the blue haired girl. I agree about having different locations. Do you want to have a shared Google doc or something? I'll be available in a few hours.
>>722950234Yeah something like that maybe, I can make it later
we have 4 albums between the finished and editing sheet, and I'm sure the usual anons have a bunch of tracks they haven't posted yet finished as well. lots of them seem very good too. it's a good year, great job everyone, let's finish strong this final week.
>>722889306Thank you for your advice. I know I have 5 days left, but I think I can manage. The two versions of the theme are kinda jank but I've dealt with worse.

>>722952907damn, kinda wanna sing this but i'm nearly out of time here
>>722954231it died the same, I spent far too long on the archives https://crydellart.com/ trying to find any trace about it I could, but that's why I included that verse here >>722953026 in the chorus
>>722954282I like it! good job.
it feels great to see some soul return to the musical this year. lots of new singers pitching in so this year is gonna shine bright and feel distinct I think
>>722908350Finally finished "Happy Day in /v/".https://rentry.org/him244o9Criticism and suggestion for tweaks are welcome.
can someone get me up to speed on why Savascumalang and Gensokyo are on both the general edits tab and the finished songs tab
>>722954779quite cute, certainly better than before
>>722934540This is excellent. Now to find a Conker.

>>722955747if you checked it and it's the same track I'll leave it to you.
>>722955779Well, I guess I'll go ahead then.
>>722908350I had a new mix of "Your kang of /v/" going for a while, I guess I'll put it up for DB.https://krakenfiles.com/view/0rmiidXF65/file.html
bros bubsy 4d is actually good how are we gonna cope
>>722957037by finally doing the backing vocals for Undead Bobcat
>>722955142honestly if there's no objections i'm probably gonna just take them off the edits tab because the last thing we need when we're strapped for editors is people editing songs that already have perfectly good mixes ready to go instead of the 20+ songs that aren't done yet
>>722957505shouldn't even need to ask, if they're finished they don't belong on the edits tab and it's an error waiting to happen to leave it there.
>>722955593I'm so excited!! Thank you for your hard work!
don't forget to add anchor next thread for songs that are nearly there but needs more help getting finished
>>722954282Thats great, thanks anon! It's finished to me!
>>722934540Hey. Listening to it a bit, I noticed that "pettiness isn't" the clearest in the mix. Doesn't matter much because it's an endgag, and not a final mix either. Just thought I'd let you know.
>>722958764Yeah I tried to take out the dry signal and leave only the reverb as it went on to simulate the flushing down the toilet effect but it muddied the vocals too much
>>722958914That's okay. No promises on quality, but I'm gonna see what I can do from my end about the Conker bits, provided no one does a better job first.

>>722962020basado, can't wait to see what you came up with.
what's the actual deadline, like christmas island time or something? we should have the countdown to put in the OP within a couple threads so nobody can think they're blindsided by it. have we heard anything about the stream date yet?

>>722962582>stream datewe usually go for the weekend I believe, so>18/19thimpossible, need time to get things together >25/26thideal>1/2nd novemberworst case scenario, past that would be even more ridiculous. but we still need confirmation from the streamer? just my thoughts
is anyone else undrawing album art
is anyone unediting songs
the 25th is the only weekend I can't do it so I'm hoping for November 1st ;_;
>>722964217honestly I'd guess like 99% chance it's that weekend. nov is pushing it really hard, the jannies won't let us bum here 2 full extra weeks when we're not in season, so it means everyone leaving and then people just having to remember to return for the stream. the only way I can see it being nov is if the streamer themselves can't make the previous weekend work, if we can't get the edits done fast enough we'd just rush out barely edited ones rather than delay into nov when the deadline is supposed to be the 15th to begin with. we give some leeway now but if a full week of extra editing time isn't enough it means people just aren't doing the work and we need to get it over with.no matter what the date is some people will have to miss it, but we do recordings now so at least there's always that.
>>722964213probably doing song art myself, I'm just not that good. we have "only 12" main candidates but I'm sure people will add several more, and it's a really strong batch of 12 so I'd feel bad pushing any off the slots.
That’s it. I’m unstreaming the livestream.Before it even starts.
For the anon who sang Ain't No Quest For You Wizard, really love the take though I think there's a line in the chorus that could flow better. The way you're doing it is >No dragons or castles-here for yebut it flows better if you do>No-dra gons-or castles here for yeso the second half of the line lines up

>>722964504I'm unreading your post.
>>722964415genuinely don't think the jannies are a threat for us at all. agree with the rest, except edits won't delay us. I'll make sure of that myself if I have to
>>722964415yeah, never forget that until a couple years ago it was NOT a setup where people just left things to edit after the 15th. it was standard that we were done with essentially everything but art by the 15th. I think the extra editing time is fine because we can't put the cat back in the bag, but it feels like people are abusing the leniency when the point was not to cuck a few songs that got left over, not to add an extra week of content production to a project that already drags on a bit. more than a few years ago we'd never call the 19th impossible. we'd do deathbattles on the 16th and have the 16th-18th for organizing and compiling because the actual files would be good to compile before the stream time. we'd know this was the goal so people would have prepped in advance to make it easier, rather than put stuff off to say "we'll do it later". that extra week is scope creep.
>>722964665>mouse click at the endsovl
>>722964665I think it's good, the takes aren't identical so it's gonna be a little janky, but it sounds good. lets get that baby in finished if nobody has complaints a quick edit tweak can fix.
>>722964739>genuinely don't think the jannies are a threat for us at all.I can't lie I was worried this year. not because we got kicked to /vg/ for a few years, but because of the hack. the mod team lost a lot of people, and gained some new ones to replace it. I don't know just how organized it is, but it could have easily been a situation where 1 linchpin mod was vouching for us and simply might not have been there this year. the fact that we didn't get fucked with so far makes me think you're probably right, but I do worry a bit too easily about that sort of thing.
>>722964771must be that mouse guy that trains them. shredder?
>>722965042bro he's a mouse, it's "Cheddar"
>>722965096Cheesed to meetcha!
>>722965140
>>722964739ain't no rest for the wicked :(
>>722964752I say the 19th is impossible because the stream is a bit more involved now, lyrics and what not. and we also have things other than dbs that require voting. rushing would be detrimental, also real life adult nonsense gets in the way, even just considering myself I can't keep the hours I used to :(
To the Anon that is about sing Toes on /v/, you dropped this.
>>722964989NTA but I've been seeing a rise of 4chan community events over the past few years that I would assume any new jannies would be cool with it. The /v/ and /co/ tournaments specifically, unless they've got a grudge against these types of events I think things should be alright
>>722965328true. we really should get the lyric timing stuff set up in advance this year, a column on the finished tab is enough for me to start timing a few here and there. I got a little over an album's worth done last year and I'm glad to pitch in again. Options: 1. MusicBee2. LRC generator onlineBoth have their pros and cons. I'll explain very briefly how to use an LRC generator online. The one I used was https://www.lrcgenerator.com/For this particular one, you paste the lyrics into the text area then click 'Synchronize to music'.You will be taken to a new page, in here you can load your audio track using the Audio button, and start the playback with the START button.In order to mark which line is being sang, you need to click on the 'Next Line' button as the line starts being sung (click upon hearing something, not in anticipation for consistency with others), the lyric in the text area will be highlighted white letting you know the line was tagged.You do this for the entire song then you wait it to end. I don't know if it was a bug that specifically happened for me or not, but the only way I could tell the song ended was because the timer on the now pause button stopped counting up.From here, you should have reached the end of the lyrics you posted. You need to click 'Next Line' one more time and the button should now be replaced with a 'Get File' button which will download the .lrc file to your PC.Now, I just extract the content by opening the .lrc file with a text editor (I use VSCode) and take only the timed lyric lines alongside timestamps and paste them into a new .txt(TLDR you put the song audio file and lyric text into the lrcgenerator.com website, it plays the song and you click once as each line begins, then you put the timed lyrics text it give you into a .txt file and that can be uploaded for the thread and sheet)
>>722965328sorry, I don't want to imply we have the 19th as an option, the editing habits alone guarantee it's not this year. just pointing out it's certainly not normal for it to go all the way to November even with delays and additional works.
>>722965508thanks I was wondering where I left that
>>722965521I'll happily time mine as soon as the column is available too.
>>722965641https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U56KgQ1wl4I
>>722966275well sometimes ya gotta seize the day and do things yourself. I'm gonna upload some rentry links to the second-to-last column in the finished tab because no song's notes are going that far into the text. For tonight I'm just uploading the 2 Grips Of An Angel songs and then tomorrow start on more. The important thing is I'm getting the ball rolling so we're not all sitting around waiting for someone else.I use https://www.lrcgenerator.com/ because it's literally just listening to the song and clicking once per line unless you wanna get fancier with my tips below.If anyone else wants to do it, look at pic rel/the rentry uploads for an example of how the text should look when copy-pasted from the site . My tips from last year:1. Add an extra [00:00.00] timing to the start of the text, it makes the start clean. Like pic rel.2. Delete the website's advertising bit at the end, it breaks nothing to do so.3. Personally I click as soon as I hear the line start to be sung. Like, I click as a reaction to the first syllable, ideally before the singer even gets to the 2nd one. There's wiggle room there because god knows nobody is expecting perfection, but if everyone does it this way it's simpler and the albums will be consistent.4. As you're sitting there listening and clicking anyway, read the lyrics. If the singer changed something, it's helpful to fix that after you're done timing just by corrected it to what they actually said. For example using the Grips of an Angel song, 1 singer changed the lyrics on a couple lines and the other added a skit, so they can't share the same lyric text and they should be adjusted accordingly even if they're timed the same.5. If you screw up the timing on a line and don't want to redo the whole song, just focus and do the rest right, then you can manually adjust the timing of that line in the text after. Musicbee lets you do this within the program while listening and you can instantly see how the new timing looks.
>>722908350>>722934540https://krakenfiles.com/view/S1agSDhxwQ/file.htmlGot the Conker lines for Sloptendo here.I have attempted to time them to the original
>>722968628very nice, I think that means the song has everything it needs now?
>>722968946Yes, it does.I'm not sure whether to move it to audio edits given the singer did the original mix, and I don't want to step on his toes.
>>722969093if there's someone that already did a mix, I'd just make sure they notice sometime in the next day or two so they can add yours in. very bad idea to put something that already has a mixer on the editing sheet unless the past mixer wants someone else to do this one.
>>722969160No worries. I tagged his post with the prior mix, and I mentioned I was going to try and get them earlier in the thread when discussing the mix. I imagine he'll be back later.
>>722969647yeah I'm sure it'll work out then
>>722967431Very helpful. It's always good to have that push so things get done. This is the sort of thing basically anyone can help with if they want to pitch in, I'll be doing some myself later this week.
glooby musical :)
workan with an anon on a thang that the musical might not accept but I'm doing it out of pure love for the video game so even if the musical doesn't take it I will have done it for me and for anon and had fun with it
>>722971604Might as well not vaguepost and just say what you mean. Is this the vocal thing or something else?
>>722972207sorry didn't mean to vague post I'll post it when it's done probably in this thread
>>722972291Well I'll look forward to whatever it is. Even if it ends up in DLC or whatever if it was fun, passion-driven, and somehow related to a game, that's always based to see.
>>722971604Does it involve A.I, or is it a song from a prior year?If not, I see no reason to knock down a song on vidya, and even the latter would end up in DLC.
We have 5 days left. I'm shilling only my new songs that I think really could be done well. A True Patriot - A cover of A Real Hero by College & Electric Youth (that one song from Drive) It's about Metal Gear Solid 3, and The Boss' sacrifice.Grapple to the Ceiling - A cover of Scarface (Push it to the Limit) from the Scarface movie.It's about movement based shooters, especially ones that allow a lot of vertical movement. I originally had Deep Rock Galactic in mind while writing it but I made it open ended enough to be about any game. And Grapple to the Ceiling isn't just used in the sense that you would use a grappling tool to go up, it's also an allegory on how mastery of movement options in a game like that is what gives a game a high skill ceiling. And Duke, a cover of The Log Song from the Ren and Stimpy show. It's like a 30 second song so I'm sure someone can sing it.
>>722973317>someone can sing itAlas not I.
>>722962002That's a substitute, you can tell by the picture and the use of "ing" while the yellan is happening. AlsoShits pretty bad. but I'll live, thank, anon.
>10not on my watchIt's a really shitty watch, can I get a new one?
>>722975684Thought it was off. Should have known Regardless, the sentiment holds.
I'm running out of time and haven't finished a single song haha oh no
>>722977817Any engaged songs?
>10 againAlright, discussion topicWhat's something you'd love to see a song about but can't seem to write for yourself? >That awkward skill level in a fighting game where every match is either you getting stomped by your opponent, or you bullying a literal child, so you can't get a fun and engaging relatively even matchI feel like I'm just waiting for the right song to use for this to write this, because I can't find a good source song to use for the subject.
>>722941817God daaamn good job anon
>>722980559I want a song about Return of the Obra Dinn or Case of the Golden Idol but I can't figure out a way to write it without spoilers.
>>722980559I'd suggest a duet then, a comical one, that way you can have two different tones in it, one for when you're stomping, and one for when you're getting your shit kicked in.
>>722975684ganbare anon
>>722950234Probably going to be asleep by the time you're available so I just dumped some stuff onto the rentry. Nothing much just general themes and ideas, will get back to it tomorrow.
>>722982601Sounds good. I'll be free most of the day tomorrow so let's get together. I think we can make something really good.
Fuck me I'm busy this year. If you want your song mixed you'll probably have to do it yourself.>Captcha: DXRAM
>>722983137Sorry about ditching early on the volunteering thing. Nanny state's gonna nanny state, and the emails are now defunct as a result. give a dose of my regards to Totopo and Anonika
>>722908350>>722919924DJ anon this one is for you. I didn't know what you wanted to call the song so I just called it VG. Could really use some help with cleaning up the mix though.Slightly modified lyrics: https://rentry.org/7k2s9wk8Working files: https://krakenfiles.com/view/4dOJJdPZlc/file.htmlSinger's Mix: https://krakenfiles.com/view/RUKw6v4JYW/file.html
>>722980559I've actually been thinking of writing something similar where you get stomped in a fighting game since you've only been playing offline. My source song is this one:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcmBowQsVrg>Unreactable highs, unreactable lows>I thought I figured you out, but I got hit with a throw>And all this time it seemed like my fighting skill's obscene>But I wouldn't know, no, I wouldn't know
>>722983137Yo editfag how do I make using Melodyne comfortable? Everytime I think "hmm maybe I can use it to make harmonies or fix timings" it makes the vocals sound like ass instead in a way that's super obvious. Is it really just in gitting gud or are there some nice tricks I don't understand?
>>722985379You have to understand that melodyne isn't magic. It can fix notes that are up to a couple semitones off, but if you go too far it'll sound artificial. For fixing timing specifically it's just trial and error, it can take me minutes to fix a single sentence sometimes.For harmonies you can try Izotope Vocal Synth, feed it both your original vocals and a midi track with the notes you want it to make. This also takes quite a while to learn. The way to get really good harmonies is to just sing them correctly. Also do two takes of the same harmony line so you can pan it left/right, that's how I make choruses sound big.
I'm so close to being done with this song I can taste it.
If you don't think you can finish a song the way you want this year, is it fine to stuff the unfinished version into DLC and re-do it next year?
>>722986363Yes, it's fine.
>>722986363yeah many people do that and I recommend it over burning a song but DO MAKE SURE YOU COME BACK TO FINISH IT. anyway what song
>>722986426In this case this one >>722952775I wanna do lots of rerecording to get rid of some of my fumbling performance and timings, and fix up some of the few harmonies too, but there's simply no opportunity to record that I can see in the next few days.
>>722986590Advice is put it in DLC, and finish it next year. I have some songs I wish I did that with back when I started.
MIX MY FUCKING SONG YOU FUCKS
Didn't see that No More Xbox got done. Great job anon whoever did it. Love me some Ozzy and we need more platform songs.
>>722908350"GULLGIRL" https://krakenfiles.com/view/kP5eiLO5sv/file.html This is a collab between two anons and has been tuned note by note syllable by syllable phoneme by phoneme hand by hand. Why did we think this would be better done vocaloid-style? It's about an NPC who turns out to be a seagull and loses her voice and is relating the loss of her voice with how programmed her actions are, that she doesn't pick what to do or say or sing. The idea is that it parallels the character (in the canon game story) angsting because she's actually a seagull (not a real girl) and the NPC (in the meta sense) angsting because she's actually a fictional character (not a real girl). Because it's made using vocaloid-style software, we could pack it full of syllables that would be tough for a human to say, which is the point because the singer isn't human. The anon and I have been working on this since the musical started basically. It's okay if you guys prefer it to be in DLC. If a human singer wants to sing it that's okay too but I don't think it will be easy nor expected. It just took us this long to make it which is why we're dropping it a few days before the musical ends. Can't count how many hours anon and I have poured into this.Anyway I would love critique so the other anon and I can improve it before the musical ends. I am gonna go to bed now because anon and I stayed up to finish this, but I'll read anything after.Original: "Birdbrain" ft. Kasane Teto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iVlSNpq8i8Instrumental and vocal pack: https://krakenfiles.com/view/vQ5isJ6TDq/file.html Lyrics: https://rentry.co/GULLGIRL
Good morning anons! I love you. Mix some songs today.
Holy kino my song was sung...
>>722983623Regards received, thanks doc
>>722989285The original song has multiple lines of deliberately hard to understand lyrics (like "apoplectic and apathetic as can be" or "bilious baby braying babble bent her beak") so those lines are meant to parody. But if there are any lines that sound off, let me know and I can take a peak to make sure that they're fitting the parody vs me writing bad lyrics.I was under the impression that Marin was always a seagull and was just brought into the dream like Link was. But you're right that it's never specified.Thanks for taking a listen and giving criticism.
>>722987682I had a bit of a rant before, but the typo'd a spoiler box for a game that's been out since 1993 and decided to delete it anyway.Summed up, it can be a bit hard to understand in places, though that may just be how vocaloids sound to me (I swear I hear them and there's a static to them). But despite not liking vocaloids, I appreciate the love you put into the lyrics for one of my favorite entries in it's series (second to the one with the Moon). I wish you luck with the project regardless of where it ends up.
>>722987682Can't lie the vocaloid is hard to understand in this song. It's probably fine for the stream when the lyrics are on screen at least. I don't think it's something we'd have to reject, it's obviously not someone rushing to use vocaloid when their song wasn't sung since this is the first we've heard it, and I remember when you were here asking how people say Marin. but yeah it's a rough song for a vocaloid to sing to begin with, the other one someone did as vocaloid was much slower so understanding it was a lot easier. I think you guys did a good job with what you were working with.
>>722989716Thank you for giving it a listen. I saw someone else actually wrote LADX themed lyrics a few days ago so I hope those are also done by a human singer.
>>722989756NTA but it would probably help to listen to the original because their take is relatively close in terms of comprehensibility.
>>722989915Honestly it just sounds like a bad choice for a parody then. If you can't understand the words then the parody isn't conveying whatever it wants to that makes it a parody and not a cover, which is a shame because the lyrics on text look like they have thought and effort put into them. I still don't think it should be rejected but it's something to keep in mind if there's a next time.
>>722987682i think you're good. there's a craft here that makes it interesting to listen to. skirting the lines between man and machine but the most important thing to me is that i want to hear (you)r expression. prompted content means someone didn't know how to do that and let a machine interpret before going "good enough". admittedly there's a sliver of craft to that too but by definition no love, no sovl, no art.
>>722990125to be fair the average /v/TM is mumbled to a point where lyrics can't be understood half the time if not for the text files, which is one of the reasons we begged for lyrics to start being saved and put on the bandcamp years ago. i haven't heard the song you guys are talking about so maybe it's especially bad, but that's just part of /v/tm
>>722990274When a human is hard to understand it's soul, when a machine is hard to understand it's noise
>>722990334fair nuff
I hope that one Anon that marked Lost to the Zone for an attempt didn't forget about it.
>>722987682I don't find it offensively bad or anything, and it's fine on an album I guess, but it probably would have helped your case a lot if this was made in the open. Having a finished vocaloid song dropped out of the blue from multiple people feels wrong. I'm glad it does have those few ties to past threads like other anons said, but this materializing as "yeah 2 of us made this completely outside the thread" makes it feel more like a discord butt buddies scenario than a /v/tm scenario. It feels the same with art for me tbdesu, anything the thread gets to be privy to benefits greatly from that. The janny art from this week is good, but what makes me love it is getting to see the process in the thread where it went from a sketch to a prototype to a finished art piece with additional touches suggested by the thread. That one is song art but it goes for album art too, I always end up voting for ones that have memories attached, like the molyneux one is an instant vote because it being done in the thread took it from something I probably wouldn't understand to something I know the backstory on because people talked through it in the thread multiple times. Food for thought I guess.
>>722991705Many such cases every year. If "I Wanna Bait Moralfags" was tagged as a joke or forgotten that's pretty sad because it's hilarious even if the idea is simple. Ain't heard a peep about someone working on it in the thread.
>>722991949I agree with this sentiment. The "Retarded /v/irgins Gather" and "Autistic Tendies with memes and shitposts" were my suggestions on Daily Dose of the Kingdom to parody the words on the cover. Little tiny detail lost in the /v/oombox version, but I'm never going to forget coming up with them. (The idea was to have something that resembled the original text while being funny)
Is it possible to auto tune a harmony in reaper? Or does the torrent only have timing and reverb tools?
>>722992017Know what you mean. El Pato was marked on Deadsite for like a week, and I'm thinking it's 80% chance that he didn't mark it himself, and the removal was because he didn't want me to think he was doing it.Could be wrong. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will do it for me (the opening line has been changed if anyone's worried about that).But if not, I at least had fun with the line about how the board an hiro'd.
i just recorded the Danny parts for the Bongo Bongo Bongo parody, i K wants to be the Andrew Sisters again. my only industry track for the year and i figured it might be up your alley. if it's too much hassle no worries, we're all running on tight schedules here.
>>722992726The torrent pack has vocalsynth and melodyne which you can technically use for harmonies, though you're gonna need to play with them to get anything mildly usable
>>722992386What? The /v/oombox isn't missing anythinghttps://the-voombox.xyz/api/album/XII/CD7%20Daily%20Dose%20Of%20The%20Kingdom/cover
>>722993702I mean it's too small to read there.
Nevermind. Apparently not if you do what you did.Go figure.
>>722993782>>722993862Hmm, guess it's just like that blue album one with the fine print jokes
>>722994110Basically. Doesn't matter. Even if no one reads the fine print again, I'll always know it's there.You don't need recognition to have fun. After all, if I wanted to be well known I probably wouldn't sign all my work "Anon"
>>722993062Link to torrent?
>>722994746https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/691114271/#q691116828
>>722987682I'm sorry, it's not bad, but this just makes me wanna see DEADWEIGTH done even more, as the topic of that one speaks more to me. While the idea is interesting, it almost feels like the topic was chosen simply because the original also has to do with birds, but maybe that's me overthinking it.I agree with other anons that you probably should've posted about it in the thread more often so we could accompany the progress, especially in a collab project.
>>722987682I like it, it's clear you fags put a lot of effort into it. Renaissancefags have dropped entire songs without prior notice before and people hardly bitch about those, so while it would have been nice if you gave the thread some WIPs it's not a dealbreaker.
Burp
>>722995864I don't get what you're saying at all about that seemingly completely unrelated song. Not everyone is keeping up with your personal drama.
>>722996126People do kinda bitch about Renaissancefags, not that much mostly because they're almost always also doing work with other people at the same time. You can't tell the difference between a renfag song and a normal one on the album, vocaloid sticks out like a sore thumb imo. now that it's made, yeah I guess keep it, but I feel like the reason it was made does not translate well (again partly because they didn't share the creation journey).
Good morning anons, I hope you have a Lucky Lucky day!!Today's good luck charm deals with ambition and leadership!!Don't wait for others to say to do something, if it needs to be done and you're willing and able, get things moving!Write, edit, sing, or make art! Fix errors on the sheet or in the art folder if you see them! In fact, seek errors to correct if you want!Time some lyrics or back up files in case they go missing later!Your ability to lead and inspire is enhanced today! Show others how it is done! Today's blessing will have trailblazers improve the musical as a whole, and their contributions will live on in our memories forever!
>>722998737I looked into it in the archive for you.Long story short, he considered a vocaloid for it on the grounds the song being parodied used one.
>>722995864>While the idea is interesting, it almost feels like the topic was chosen simply because the original also has to do with birds, but maybe that's me overthinking it.that seems like a petty complaint imo. are you calling the song lazy because it kept lyrics alone, or are you just whinging that they wrote a parody based on a parallel between the original and the parody that didn't lead to laziness? I don't think both songs involving birds harms the parody, we've had literal "it's the same song top to bottom" parodies before and a glance at this one makes me think this is not lazy at all.
>>722999565I have to agree with this anon. If "oh you wrote a parody involving a bird because the original mentions a bird" is supposed to be lazy, what's the amazing parody concept that deadweight brought to elevate it? The comment feels like lashing out at another crab in the bucket. If the song being about a bird is a bad thing then you should be explaining how the song you're hyping up is so much better. If it's not better in some demonstrably clear way, then it feels incredibly rude to be hypocritically dissing another track to prop your own up.
>>722999415>>723000103Sour grapes then. C'mon we can be better.
I'm proud to see the editing tab went down a little instead of up a little yesterday. Let's keep that going, we're not far from the 3 day rush where the list is gonna skyrocket.
>>722995864that argument is retarded and is only gonna push people away from the song you want people to sing. i'm assuming you're not the writer because if you are that's a stupid way to shill it. both songs can coexist just fine, the rules only say a song can't repeat if it was sung a previous year, if it's the same one it's fine
>>722999565Agree with this anon,>>722995864Writing a song that's got a completely different theme from the original forces creativity in altering the lyrics. Weird Al changing American Pie to a song about Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace means the song cannot simply be the same.The original is about nostalgia, loss and longing for another time.The parody is a synopsis of a movie that has nothing to do with the original song.It takes work to rewrite a song, change it's lyrics entirely while telling a coherent story and keeping syllables and stresses. A good parody shouldn't just be the same story but with different characters and phrasing.
>>723000103I don't think that's the writer, either someone incredibly dumb or falseflagging
>>723000693Just to clarify, I mean I agree with the anon saying the title being the only similarity is acceptable.In fact, in my opinion it fosters creativity.
>>723000638>>723000974I can't imagine it's anybody but the writer. The "I'm sorry, it's not bad, but..." just reeks of a writer pissed off that their song wasn't the one that got done, because they're probably assuming nobody is gonna bother with their song this late in the game. If it's bait, it's incredibly subtle for bringing up something the writer legitimately did complain about in a past thread, but not to the point where any of us even remember it.
>>723001043>bringing up something the writer legitimately did complain about in a past threaddid they? what was it?
>>723001236ok looking back maybe it's not the writer, unless they're doing a double falseflag now? it's incredibly strange:>>722870086I have no clue why someone would be bringing up the idea of wanting this specific song to be sung by vocaloids a few threads in a row, especially because seemingly the actual writer never chimed in despite it being a newly written song. You'd think the writer would have an opinion on if a robot should sing their song or not.
>>723001043They mentioned it in one post prior to this thread, and it wasn't a complaint but a question of whether they could. I legitimately don't believe they're trying to be malicious, but rather that they phrased things without much consideration for how they sounded and had a poor criticism.I think we're best off giving the benefit of the doubt and assuming they didn't mean to stir shit, and drop the topic. Moreso because there's been no pushback. If they're reading, point of advice.It's a little narcissistic to make a critique of someone else's song about your own.
>>722960024The chicken in the movie looks delicious, honestly, and every time I see it, I imagine spicing it and dipping it in ranch dressing.
>>723001000 Agree 100% that it fosters creativity to base a parody on a similarity that doesn't bleed into the topic. There is no hint of laziness anywhere in these lyrics, it's just a theme parallel. >hit me with the flap down, mired in the earthbound (foul!)>bilious baby braying babble bent her beak (what a freak!)>i put my neck upon the chopping block>a BIRDBRAIN, baby, i don't think my head is coming off>baby, i don't know when i'm supposed to stop>baby, tell me if you think that i should stop>baby, i don't know when i'm supposed to stop!>baby- FUCK>my calm has no organ, your heart thunder drumming (fowl!)>sti-ick by seagull staying samey swim or sink (you're my link!)>you hold my hand, you know, you're very strange>a GIRLGULL, guilt free, you love me whether or not i change>with me, i'll hold you when drifting in the bay>with me, you'll hold me when on the mountain range>with me, i still love you and that will not change!>with me- SQUAWK!Nothing sticks out as lazy at all. It's changing essentially all the lyrics, including changing some lines that were originally repeats, while consistently working in direct references to the origin game. I think "girlgull" is a bit gibberish as a phrase but overall it lead to a really cute set of lyrics. I do wish it was sung by a human though, I get the logic of using a vocaloid but it just doesn't work for me personally on either side of things. If the creator's happy with it I don't really mind it though.I don't mean this to shit on the other guy either, I do genuinely think it's a high effort set of lyrics in it's own merit.>>723001515yeah I don't think the intent was to stir shit so it'd probably best for everyone to drop the chain. It was a really dumb comment to make but I think they just have more passion than sense here.
>>723001515I'm replying to this specific post instead of the many others because I don't want to mass quote, but what you said is right, with one exception, I'm not the writer. I phrased things really poorly and I don't mean any slight against gullgirl either. It was horrible criticism on my part and I hope it didn't harm either song. The reason there was no pushback is because I agree with everyone's reply to me, I regretted it immediately posting it after actually reading what I sent. Sorry to the writers of both songs, gullgirl should absolutely be posted on the finished tab, a lot of work was put on it despite us not being able to check in on the progress, it deserves a spot just like any other rennfag.Hoping this is enough for everyone to drop it.
>>723002042Yeah, sorry about that. I noticed that in the archive and was going to make a retraction of that part. But you're forgiven from my perspective. Everyone makes mistakes. Not everyone tries to set things right.
this thread's almost dead anyway, lets just get it to 500 soon so fags wandering in aren't tempted to retread it now that it seems settled.
>>722963619No feedbacks? I've been hesitating adding this to the sheet because I think it's kind of meh
>>723002265Okay. One other point for>>723002042If Deadweight doesn't make it through before the deadline, and you really do want to see it finished, remember you can always do it as a DLC passion project next year. I'm sure that'd make the writer's day that someone cared enough to do so. I'm not sure if you have any vocaloid knowledge, but either way, I encourage you to try.
>>723002539Zero clue on how vocaloids work. But I do have an interest, so maybe.
>>723002469writefag here. for what it's worth I think replacing lyrics instead of leaving them alone is almost always the right call unless there's a new meaning in the new song vs the original song for the same words.this close to the deadline I really stop dealing with lyrics though honestly, writefag's time to shine is september. by the time october begins I stop writing new parodies, and by the start of the last week I generally don't even look at other lyrics. the singfags either like something enough to pick it up out of the 200 existing options on the sheet, or they don't. in my experience the only way something gets serious feedback this late is if a singer is already interested and wants to clean it up before singing it.
>>723002778you have a full year to learn if you feel like it. though imo music mixing and editing is the skill to learn if you want to help the musical, this year has made it extremely clear that a single new editfag with some time and passion could singlehandedly reinvigorate the entire project and give it some new flavor and life.
CUNNY JOCKEY
I hope you all are not getting tired of my voice, because I'm gonna try and sing one more song.
>>723003136Anon, we would never!
>>722963619It is a little generic. Also I think you messed up the month/love slant rhyme by changing it to "year" and "recently".Also the mid sentence rhyme on"She'll come and stay the night, and I think I might have it all"(might and night) is absent.There may be more, but I'm not going over it with a fine tooth comb. Try to look at the rhyming scheme a little more carefully so you don't miss unusual rhyme placements and slant rhymes.Maybe highlight the words you need to match up in the same colour in a document while working on the song.A song can lose a lot of character if you botch a rhyme.
>>723003136I've been listening to one "same voice" for 13 years in a row and every year hearing that voice again makes me go "hell yeah, they're still kickin". I can handle a little more of anybody here, show us whatcha got.
>>723003240>Try to look at the rhyming scheme a little more carefullyI strongly advise any writefag to listen to the song they parody a lot. before writing give it another listen or two while reading the original lyrics, it makes it easy to catch those mid-line rhymes because while you might miss them while reading text, your brain will tickle when you hear them because they sound good.
>>723003360I personally like to have the original on loop while I'm writing, then try to sing the parts I'm working on to the original when it comes round. Helps with stresses, syllables and rhymes.Can get grating though.
>>723003556personally I write single lines at a timem listening to the original's line there before and after I writem so I can make sure I didn't fuck it up before moving to the next one. when I finish a section I listen to the entire thing while reading my lyrics to catch any obvious fuck ups like rhymes misplaced. a lot of the time I jump around to different parts, maybe doing the chorus before the intro, but I listen as I go very consistently because you ain't getting the stresses perfectly unless you actively are writing around the stresses.
Reaper seems like it's cutting out the instrumental intermittently? ow get around?
>>723003885is it every minute? trackspacer can do that from what others have said, might need to disable it if you don't have a different way around that somehow.
>>723003703You could say that writing a song properly is stressful work.
>>723004172carlos, I thought you died...
>>723002789Yeah I kinda forgot to write this one and remembered it right as the last week came by. I feel like the new lyrics especially in the chorus are weak compared to the original's strong repetition vocals. Just feels like the lyrics could be a lot better
>>723004254sounds like you know in your heart you'll just regret it if it's sung then. I'd say save it and improve it later so that next year you'll be really proud of it if it gets sung.
>>723004209Anon, you have to let me go.The accident wasn't your fault.
most of my songs got sung this year, and a few that haven't yet have singers on the sheet. I am a very happy writefag.
>>722986653>>722952775>>722908350I ended up having a lucky hour and got to record pretty much all that I needed to including some line changes.Can someone drop me an opinion on the mix?https://krakenfiles.com/view/CAP6YOszLq/file.html
>>723004687sounds finished to me, I like the balance between the main vocals and backings, and the volume overall seems good to me.love the ozzy warcraft insert, was thinking about making a night elf mohawk song in the past. rip to a legend.
>>723004383That'd be the easiest solution but the theme of crying out /v/'s loss when 4chan is down is really topically relevant for this year with the shutdown. It not being relevant next year is why I rushed it even after forgetting to finish writing it
>>723004589I did pretty well myself. looking at a 50-70 percent run for the year depending on what gets finished (50 is a low ball assuming songs not completed right now don't get completed).75-80% total (rounded down to the nearest 5 for simplicity) between all musicals (no resubmissions/self-singing). If this ends up being my last year, I've done alright overall.
>>723005037
>>723004687I have no real problems with this I think if you try to mess with it too much you'll hit "this painting looked better yesterday" territory
For instrumentals do you usually DL the song from Youtube and then strip with UVR I only lsten to stuff on Youtube I don't know standard practice for people who listen to not video game music
>>723005517I search for flac instrumentals on Soulseek. If those aren't available, the flac originals to strip with UVR.
>>723005517if you're going to download from youtube you might as well download an instrumental version from youtube if there is one. UVR gets good results usually if there isn't one yeah. there's the link with stem files you can dive into for a lot of "real" music too, stuff like the rockband versions of the song's stems.
>>723005154
>>723005823if you think people will just magically forget the shutdown by next year you're wrong. the current lyrics don't really even go into any depth about it, just vaguely mentioning things like jannies being doxxed and the site being down, it would be fine next year.
>>723005982Most people have already forgotten about it.
>>723006023so waiting for next year won't change that
>>723004894>>723005256I noticed some tiny problems I'll correct but those won't change much with the mix. I'll move it to finished soon then.
new thread >>723006097>>723006097>>723006097
do add anchor for "help wanted" or such next thread so we it's easier to tell what songs just need an extra push
>>723004687Not my song but TANK UUU *blowing kisses to you*
>>723006437that's part of the shilling anchor really, you shill and say "we have X amount done, we just need you to do Y and Z and then we can ship it".
