Album Info:
>What is this?
This is a project that aims to actually create an album of music from /mlp/. It'll be a compilation of sorts, potentially containing everything from originals, remixes, collaborations, etc. The past efforts never came to fruition, so we're trying once again. If you create music, sing, rap, create art, write lyrics, have ideas, or just want to participate somehow, jump right in, and email [email protected] who you are, what you do, contact info (May include preferred email, YouTube, SoundCloud, ect), and anything else you want to say.
>What kind of music is the album going to contain?
Virtually anything is acceptable. This means complete originals, remixes, collaborations, soundscapes, etc.
Simply create a folder for your work within the proper folder within the Dropbox (more info in the Google Doc). For example, music goes in the music folder. Your folder will be used for sharing ideas, posting demos, etc. For your finished product, you may submit a mastered and/or unmastered WAV or AIFF, and simply drop it into your folder, indicating it's the final one.
>What about artwork?
Yes, we need artists as well for the album cover. Artwork will be submitted to the Dropbox in the same way as the music. Decisions on how which piece will be chosen will be arranged soon. Artwork for individual songs is possible for those that want it.
>I HAVE MOAR QUESTIONS
Then continue reading this → (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qfmH6zOQ6U0TgOWiT8mkihmbKnjzLoYmHsawwl26W6A/edit#) document. If you still have questions, email [email protected], or just ask in the thread.

Oh...
Page 10 lol no
Oh welcome back!
Are people studying/working and doing something else? i know thread is slow, but kinda wanna know status of people who usually contributes to the thread and what are they up to.
Anyways,thread's slow, im posting music:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3ZkCLUFrys
>>25457732
I'm studying. Doing school projects is taking most of my studio time. Trying to make sense of life. Learning to play piano.
Honestly, i don't feel like i can do something major for this thread until this semester is over at least. Spring is usually more productive time for me.
At least we have our Sound Guy. What's up with this Tree of Harmony thingy, btw? It's a nice piece. Wanna hear it finished.
>>25457732
Still working on a rendition of 'cause you were a goddess. Sometimes my guitar is out of tune, sometimes I just can't play it right.
Don't expect any updates this week though. I'm super busy with stuff at work and I need to spend more time sleeping. I'll try to upload a midi thing soon though, just to say I haven't been completely unproductive here
>>25457775
Holidays soon
>>25457732
Being unproductive and unemployed.
I've set up my mic again as next gig's next month. All I need now is motivation and opportunity and I'll get some stuff on the backburner sorted out.
>>25459175
good luck
>>25457775
>At least we have our Sound Guy
O U
>What's up with this Tree of Harmony thingy, btw
I'm going to do one more pass mixing, then just call it done. It'll be upload in a few hours.
Thinking of getting off my lazy ass and jumping into this project with you guys. This looks really cool.
>>25460687
Please do. We need more anons with that attitude.
>>25459175You werent studying?
>>25457732
I'm busy as shit. I don't even have the time to stop and consider suicide.
>>25457775
Ok, here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jn92946yjsmb9jb/Tree%20Of%20Harmony_Mix3.mp3?dl=0
It's still not quite perfect, but I'll just keep mixing this if I don't force myself to stop. Anyway, with that, I've got my three songs for the album.
>>25463243
Shit's perfect imo. Great job, SG.
GO TEAM /MLP/! ALBUM IS HAPPENING!
>>25461550
I haven't... for months... bump.
Getting too close to page 11 for my liking bump.
Happy birthday to me
bump
>>25465665
Judging by timezones, your birthday would still be another day off if you were here.
Happy birthday and merry Father Frost day and new year even though it's still a good six weeks away!
Hope there'll be cake, presents and stuff going on.
Anyway, I had a bit of time today, rerecorded the guitar for the Game of Thrones theme and broke a mandolin string.
I'm not happy that I still haven't finished it. Not even got all it's parts. It was only supposed to be a quick thing to do.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vo89aib9durlh78/AACDASt2WApj3nfoiskRbbZ4a?dl=0
That said, I think www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDppmIicknY&t=2m38s would be good to follow the GoT theme and extend the length of the music.
>>25465665
>Scorpio
Euugh, Happy birthday bigboi.How old are you now?
>>25465665
Happy birthday komrad. Your present will be the release of this albumin months from now
>>25466463
Thanks, of course there will be. Guitar seems fine, mostly. Gotta listen full mix in a min.
>>25467177

...Well, that's sort of my sister except for the first part.
We need a new OP image. Can anyone here draw at all?
>>25481259
Beyond doodles and edits, no.
Pic related. An edit from a few months back.
Page ten bump.
Added bass to >>25466463. Same link.
Don't know whether bass is best but it requires something... bass-y.
>>25481259
Whatever happened to what was going on in the flockdraw? I'm guessing no one continued with it.
>>25482830
>Whatever happened to what was going on in the flockdraw?
What was going on in there?
>>25483320
Well it got up to pic related but then stopped.
Now it's blank from disuse.

>>25483897
Yeah I know I should redo it, but I'm busy with work and finding an internship these days. Working all week, doing tests during weekendand playing CYOAs too
Let me know if you wanna hang there or something; The room is still open after all.
Oh by the way I started a thing, not sure where it's going, probably nowhere. The bass is fucked up I know, I'll fix it

I'll listen to it once I get sound working again.
Computer crashed multiple times and now won't make a peep.
Also page ten bump.

I'm liking it. It definitely could use vocals. As for where to go with it, repeating the section at ~33s can happen at some point. Maybe a sax or any instrument solo sometime?
>>25483897
Ok, so it is that. Hopefully it gets finished.
>>25488612
good pickup
Bumping from page 10.
I like what you guys are doing here, keep it up!
>>25491443
Same.
>>25484332
>finding internship
You and me both although I'm looking for occupation in general.
>Let me know if you wanna hang there or something
Can't draw. It'd be pointless for me.
Cheers for the offer, though.
>Thing
Where's the problem with the bass, exactly? I don't hear anything wrong with it.
I mean the jazzy accidental notes at the beginning don't sit that well with me but, apart from that...
I'm guessing that you're adding all the triplet feel in by hand and not using an automatic setting to turn all quavers into triplet crotchet-quaver sets. It'd make your work easier but would probably detract from that staccato sound you're getting instead on the trumpet.
Also, you might want to turn up the volume on the right hand of the piano for its solo.
I'd also advocate for fancier solos altogether.
>>25486426
Now oddly fine after leaving it for twelve hours.
I suspect the cause of the problem is still there but sound works and I don't get BSODs when audio tries to play anymore.
Bump required.
>>25493267
The bass variation (in the final measures with bass) is pretty weird in my opinion. That's what I want to fix the most.
Fancier solos come later.
>jazzy accidental notes
You mean on the piano right? I could fix it but I don't feel like it to be honest, I think it makes it warmer and friendlier, for lack of a better word.
>BSODs
Blame windows 10 :^)
Quickly before internet cuts out.
>>25495211
>Fancier solos come later
A'ight
>You mean on the piano right?
Actually, I'm bothered by the trumpet doing G Ab A C A.
>Blame windows 10 :^)
7, but okay I'll blame 10 anyway.
>>25495277
goodbye internet

Does anyone here want to help contribute by transcribing some stuff?
>>25500719
>transcribing stuff
Do you have an example of what you want transcribed?
By transcribing, I'm assuming you mean taking a piece of music and teasing out a tab for it.
Alright boys, I'm writing a death metal piece about cute pones, the breakdowns are gonna have lots of boops. I have guitar, bass and vocals handled, all I need is drums, considering samples though (heresy)
>>25500937
I don't own a double pedal, nor do anyone here as far as I know. So you'll probably need samples.
Anoridan has some nice drum sounds, I'm sure he'll be happy to help you with that. Do you have your drums track already sequenced or do you need a MIDI?
Nice pixels by the way :^)
>>25501295
I'm still writing drums, I've got the main riffs and the breakdowns written, the bass is coming along nicely, lyrics are waiting to be written. And thanks, I payed many bit coins for them :^)

Looking at Synthfag's old stuff so we can actually finish it. There're all pretty good, and it'd be a shame to have them left as is:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8235486/MLP-PLAYS2.mp3
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8235486/MLP-STILL_GOING.mp3
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8235486/MLP-STREETS.mp3
Also, yeah, that's what I mean by transcribing it.
>>25500937
>>25501295
Yes, try Anoridan. If he can't, I have some decent samples.
