>>63226761
it's back!
>>63226771
woo
thought recently it might be a good idea to start a dedicated OP that explains post-nightcore & links to the best releases, or maybe include that stuff in a Pastebin
that way we'd get less idiots jumping into the thread to share their earth-shattering revelations to the tune of "this is just speeding up a song and putting an anime girl on it"
wad up bois. I havent got much in the way of big releases coming out but I have made this.
https://soundcloud.com/fore_ver/i-masturbate-to-cartoons-and-have-no-real-friends-instrumental
gonna try and put some qt animu rapping over it.
>>63227004
i think i got some JPN rap acappellas but i don't know if i've already used them all or not
>>63227045
yeah I was just gonna do them myself :3 desu Ill just pitch shift myself
New ep is gonna be good i hope
https://favoritewater.bandcamp.com/album/shes-so-mellow-send
>>63227567
i guess itll be released today at some point
>>63228726
congrats •́ε•̀٥
i tried listening to my own songs in the form of nightcore and they sound a lot better, hm
https://favoritewater.bandcamp.com/album/not-slow-enough-for-ducks-ep
Who here wants to help me find a vocal sample that will sound right over the hook of a song I'm working on? If somebody gets me something that works real well I'll give you credit, but I'm stuck.
Here's the hook as it sounds in the song: https://soundcloud.com/littletinysounds/shrine-of-the-fallen-hook/s-23Nxp
Here's the hook at the sample's original speed (what would probably be better if I want the sample to sound really Nightcore): https://soundcloud.com/littletinysounds/shrine-of-the-fallen-hook-slow/s-MmCC0
nightcore and anything related to it is fucking garbage
even by weeb standards it's fucking embarrassing
>>63230808
thats why post-nightcore exists
Any new releases coming soon?
Why is the thread so slow on a Friday afternoon? ;_;
>>63231958
If by coming soon you mean before the end of the month, I might have one.
My EP will be done this weekend most likely, I've been caught up with my current course so I didn't get as much done as I had hoped the past couple of days.
If you haven't heard them yet, here's two of the songs I made: https://littletinysounds.bandcamp.com/album/ready-for-impact-long-road-to-augusta
>>63231958
I have a rough concept and some samples. The only thing I'm lacking right now is unfortunately time, my friend :(
>>63230899
fucking wrecked
>tfw I started an animal collective Nightcore thread a month ago and it got incredibly meme'd and now people are trying to revive post-nightmemecore
I need to go find some more pop CDs to sample at the Goodwill. I got another track though
>>63232944
but this isnt a meme. whats /mu/s obsession with calling things they dont get or dont like a meme?
>>63231958
I got a few things in the works, gonna have to wait till I get back on to a mac next week tho to finish them all.
>>63232465
take your time with it dude, what you're doing is already fucking awesome so no need to rush :3
>>63232999
wernt you planning on making a big compilation album of all the post-nightcore artists
>>63233090
yeah thats coming towards the end of the month :D basic its open to any of the artists that are well known in the community. everyone can submit 1 track, it can either be a track you've already made or a track made just for this compilation. this track is meant to promot you so make sure it represents you and your work. gonna start collecting tracks from people come march 27th and then drop the album on april 1st. I still need to set up a bandcamp, so if you have any ideas or suggestions for the name of the bandcamp,album or anything else please let me know
>>63232981
Except it started as a meme. Regardless of what your intentions or feelings toward it are now, it has and always will be a meme.
You're the one who associates the word "meme" with a negative connotation.
>>63233173
Ill definitely submit a track around that time
if i have any neato ideas ill be sure to let you know
>>63233173
ahhh im so excited for this!
>>63233173
Sounds like a lot of fun, and the fact that there's still quite a lot of time to prepare and choose the track is really great. I'll make sure to cook something up. Cheers
>>63233030
Yeah, I don't wanna rush it. I'm really liking it so I don't wanna make the final product crappy. I'm hoping for this weekend to release it though because as much as I don't wanna rush the EP I wanna be sure to get it to you guys as fast as possible because of how much I like it.
new single i guess
https://favoritewater.bandcamp.com/track/--8
So how much longer until this meme stops being forced?

where are the fucking breaks???
>>63236855
seriously, didn't nightcore just used to be breakcore and sped up hardstyle with anime girl samples??
fuck this new nightcore shit bring back the old nightcore!!!!
>>63237002
i was born in the wrong generation! I wish I was born when nightcore was popular instead of this shitty new post-nightcore that all the kids at my school listen to nowadays!!!
This doesn't sound like the nice, catchy Nigthcore I loved back in the early 2000's. These nu-"Nightcore" songs sound like they've been through a blender.
0/10, not a pleasant listen or catchy even in the slightest.
Acceptable Nightcore examples:

What the fuck is wrong with you people?
>>63237002
>breakcore and sped up hardstyle
sped up trance more than anything
>>63236855
this isnt lolicore
>>63230786
is it okay in Japanese?
>>63239638
That sounds awesome, yeah send whatever you can my way I'd love that.
>>63239666
sorry for the delay - i think this should be around the right tempo, but it might need a little tweaking
http://www115.zippyshare.com/v/7Vl8nbda/file.html
(have i given away the secret to my sound?)
Gonna try my hand at this, any tips?
>>63240159
pick an exciting sample to begin with, then respond to how it makes you feel
>>63240159
listen to what everyone else has put out and see what you can make. just make sure there is an element of speeding stuff up.
>>63240159
try to have a firm concept for a track before you start making it, especially if all you have is Audacity
>>63239958
Thanks for sending it over, I'll give it a look in a little.
I was really missing u guys. We hadn't had generally in a few days. Will listen to everything when I'm off work. Super excited for to see peeps starting to collab GOOD LUCK CNTLALT!!!! I'm more excited to make this stuff when I'm with all yall :*)
3/9 tracks done for my album, ive been so busy desu but expect it next weekend for sure!
>>63235557
THIS IS MY JAM LAD
>>63240604
yay
>>63240604
can I get some HYYYYPPPPEEEE!
>>63229276
My fav release of urs so far!! My fav tracks are 1 AND 3. WHAT IS THE SAMPLE FOR TRACK 1??? Also creepin ur other accounts. Are u from Cape Breton?? My mom's side of the family is from Port Hawkesbury KAWAII.
>>63227004
sounds sweet my dude. excited to here ur qt rap.
>>63242244
this was me btw :3
Thinking of adding another track to make my EP an album since it's at 6 tracks currently and one of the tracks has an intro attached. Not sure if I should though and don't know what I'd do yet. Should I guys?
>>63242418
if it fits the theme/concept/mood, i say do it!!
>>63242418
if you think it needs another track then I'd say do it :D.
>>63242244
>>63242259
<3 u ya lil qt, I cant rap for shit tho so it could turn out really bad ;-;.
>>63229276
listening to this now cause I'm a pleb and didnt see it when you posted it sorry bby :'c
>>63242460
Alright, I might take a slight bit longer (I still am keeping the whole album seamless) but I think it should be worth it. I'll keep you guys all updated.
>>63242481
woop woop ^.^
>>63242477
It wouldn't need it, but it wouldn't hurt the release. I'll only add something if I feel it is worth it. I have some free time since a lot of why it's taking a bit is that the album has two collaborative tracks and an ambient track between those two. I need to have the two tracks done before I make the ambient one (because they're heavily based on the others). If I add another thing it'll probably be instrumental and it'll probably go between Long Road to Augusta and the track I'm doing with Prisma.
Also I'm not making any promises, but I have a lot of video editing skills so I am thinking of making a visual aspect.
Here's the cover and title by the way.
Forgive Me Kabukichō, I Must Leave You Once More
>>63242564
ah right, sounds good to me then, can wait to hear the whole thing like I've been pretty hyped up on this since you announced it, like I know this is gonna be something special (thats a good thing btw :3) a visual aspect to it would be awesome but ye focus on the full release first and then do some visual stuff.
>>63242591
also this is P nice <3
>>63229276
this was p nice, lovin the stuff you've been putting out!
nightcore? post? fuckin' hell. just watch monogatari and talk about it. there's nothing more interesting than that going on atm in japanese culture.
>>63242627
>I know this is gonna be something special
You're too kind m8, but thank you a ton. I'm hoping my constant push backs in the dates will be worth it for the final product. Working my absolute hardest to make this something I'm proud of.
I'm going to combine post-nightcore with ambient, dub, drone, and musique concrete. One of these days.
>>63242657
are you a qt anime boy irl
>>63242794
maybe
>>63242835
seme or uke
>>63242895
I might be uke :3
>>63243076
I might be seme :3
>tfw struggling to find sample material that no one else would ever think of
>>63243553
Go to the Goodwill
>>63243585
I would but it's 11:40 PM here.
Also thanks for the RYM add
>mfw made a nightcore masterpiece on my first try
>>63243662
Which one are you?
Where exactly does nightcore end and post-nightcore begin?
So do I just get a J pop song speed it up a lil and get my weeb money?
>>63245642
the only universal difference so far is that post-nightcore is a calculated reaction to nightcore.
post-nightcore artists are quite diverse, but there are a few commonalities. basically every song is sped up, with more trebly sounds than other genres. most post-nightcore artists rely heavily on sampling, and anime aesthetics. these qualities are similar to traditional nightcore.
unlike nightcore, post-nightcore isn't bound to sampling. some artists create their own sounds. post-nightcore is typically more confrontational than nightcore. many artists use effects and glitches to alter the samples. post-nightcore also offers a more diverse pallet of sample sources than its predecessor. rather than valuing any genre more than another, post-nightcore values it's diversity of musical stylings. i think one of the most interesting things to emerge is the similarities between disparate genres/tones/moods when you speed them up.
an aesthetic difference is post-nightcore's queer identity. idk whether this has much to do with the genre. could just be a meme in these threads, but i consider queerness when conceptualizing my music. would be curious whether other artists actively do so.
>>63247509
>autism
>>63248383
don't say that
>>63248383
Hope ur enjoying this thread
>>63248383
Care to explain how this has less legitimacy than vaporwave?
/mu/ couldn't debate themselves out of a cardboard box, it's really sad. read a book and stop your sad memeing desu
>>63242244
how the fuck did you know i was from cape breton
And the first track was a sample from one of my biggest influences, YYU
>>63248852
dont know if im gonna continue making music
We will see though
>>63248852
sorry i didnt mean to freak u out. ur bandcamp linked to ur twitter, which linked to some other bandcamps, and i was checking out ur different accounts. one of them had that location, and i was curious whether u lived there or just picked it arbitrarily.
and holy fuck. what song??? i cant pick it out, though now that you say it, i can tell thats who it is!!! yyu is criminally under under-appreciated. full disclosure ive only listened to two albums. but timetimetime&time fucked me up when i first heard it. r u into other tiny-mix-tapes-core?? plz tell me im not the only one who wants this genre to sound more like D/P/I???
also my degenerate drug dealing cousin lives in the same town as u and makes meme raps trying to sound like mac miller. r u the only person listening to yyu there??
>>63249236
dont give up!!!! </3
>>63249247
whos your drug dealing cousin, ive probably bought of him before.
The song i used for that track was Goodtea, off his You Care ep.
And i dont really know about tiny mix tapes itself, but i like some artists on there
Started on my first postpostnightcore EP last night. May be up by the end of the week.
>>63250073
are you gonna sample other post-nightcore artists?
>>63250104
I sampled 4'33"
>>63250133
my sides
>>63230255
that's literally me
Do I have to go further than just speeding shit up to be post-nightcore or does the choice in source material also factor into the genre?
>>63250364
the source material often helps, yes
>>63250364
treating it like a plunderphonics subgenre is the way to go
However its ok to just speed up things to odd time, its like bringing nightcore back to its roots, just dont sample really shitty songs
>>63247509
>i consider queerness when conceptualizing my music. would be curious whether other artists actively do so.
i did the same thing
but in my case it's mostly making things targeted at straight guys seem ugly
>tfw don't know how to do trve sampling so have instead resorted to traditional nightcore methodology
just kill me senpai
Beginning work on a new song, I think this should work out well. It's going to be fairly ambient likely.
>>63226761
I can't believe something I made is on a /mu/ list. This is the most validation I've ever gotten in my entire life.
What software instruments if any do you all use?
>>63254085
logic and fl presets with a little bit of massive and magical 8-bit plugin thrown in there too. don't need much to make this stuff sound good desu
>>63248706
Where is the nightcore dream catalogue?
>>63254281
coming the end of this month
was the thought process behind this literally "vaporwave got popular and it was just slowing stuff down so maybe i can be popular if i just speed stuff up!!"
definition of talentless hacks
>>63254361
talent isn't important
>>63254343
Is it going to be called Waifu Catalogue?
>>63254379
yes it is, people like john cage or even OPN and Ferraro are talented and come up with bold new ideas, this is derivative hack shit.
>>63254361
no this came from wanting of experiment with music with out just slowing it down, so yes we are doing the opposite of vaporwave in a sense, but it isnt to do with wanting to become popular. if we wanted that kind of success then we'd have it by now.
>>63254393
this is one of the names up for consideration
>>63254404
if I like something I don't care if the creator is talented or not. I care about the fact that I like it. And I like some things in this genre, so it' unimportant to me if the people who made it are talented or otherwise.
>>63254430
you're not 'experimenting' you are literally doing the same shit as autistic weeaboos on youtube and pretending that there is something worthwhile or interesting behind it, there isn't. you aren't a fucking experimental musician, you are a retard who is so lacking in creativity that he had to be 'inspired' to use the audacity speed feature by youtube weeaboos and 12 year old vaporwave memers
>>63254446
ok but you like shit made by pretentious hacks
>>63254430
>if we wanted that kind of success then we'd have it by now.
hahahahahaha
>>63254528
clearly you haven't listened to a lot of post nightcore then. seems like someones a little upset cause they don't understand something :^ )
>>63254558
throw money at advertisers, how do you think dream catalog did it chum
When are we gonna get some post-nigthcore with breaks and gabber kicks? Let's just turn this into a full lolicore revival.
>>63254528
>ok but you like shit made by pretentious hacks
What's wrong with that? There's literally nothing wrong with that.
>>63254581
if you wanna do that you're more than welcome too :D sounds like it could spawn some new and exciting music.
>>63254580
nice man you completely sidestepped all of my points and hid behind a false sense of superiority. There is nothing to understand, you are speeding up music and you think you're fucking james ferraro for it. if i asked you to justify it you wouldn't be able to.
>>63254645
it sounds like you haven't listened to any of the releases and are just going by what you understand "nightcore" to be
>>63254702
I have listened to them, they are sped up songs with sometimes minor editing done. The exact same shit as vaporwave but sped up instead of slowed down.
>>63254724
what about this
https://watowato.bandcamp.com/track/zwei
>>63254724
https://light-syndrome.bandcamp.com/track/overture
>>63254597
There is plenty wrong with that, why not try and grasp something like Serialism or Indeterminacy with your free time instead of consuming actual shit and contemplating autistic pseudotheory like "an aesthetic difference is post-nightcore's queer identity. idk whether this has much to do with the genre. could just be a meme in these threads, but i consider queerness when conceptualizing my music. would be curious whether other artists actively do so."
>>63254745
why don't you spend your free time brushing up on your reading comprehension and working on that diary your therapist asked you to put together
>>63254645
>sidestepped all of my points
>you are literally doing the same shit as autistic weeaboos
where are you're points other than, hur dur stop doing things I dont like. for example you said this is just speeding up music, which really isnt true, a lot of the stuff coming from this is starting to use there own original stuff. take me for example, I get a sample of anime characters talking and then compose music over it. doing this creates a different and interesting flow to the music.
>>63254745
>with your free time instead of consuming actual shit
because that requires effort on my part, and i just can't give a shit, i'm way too lazy for that
>>63254778
my points are
-you are not an experimental musician
-you are not creative since you are copying an already uncreative style
-you are not skilled because this shit takes less than a half hour in audacity
>>63254773
not sure how i miscomprehended anything there
>>63254780
If you are intelligent enough to know what is wrong with you, you are intelligent enough to stop doing what is wrong with you.
>>63254745
>why not try and grasp something like Serialism
wew lad
I nightcored a plunderphonics song. Am I meta yet
>>63254732
terrible. mediocre low-effort noise meets pointless aggravating sampling.
>>63254778
> a lot of the stuff coming from this is starting to use there own original stuff
anyone attaching the word nightcore to their original compositions is doing themselves a massive disservice by associating their creation with this drivel
>>63254884
No, you're simply playing into the hands of the infinite irony machine. To be meta, you would have to create a nightcore track that is entirely original and not even sped up.
>>63254861
>you are not an experimental musician
thats completely subjective :^ )
>you are not creative since you are copying an already uncreative style
creativity is subjective :^ )
>you are not skilled because this shit takes less than a half hour in audacity
skill is subjective :^ )
>>63254861
>If you are intelligent enough to know what is wrong with you, you are intelligent enough to stop doing what is wrong with you.
I don't want to stop doing what I enjoy just for internet points and having some random guy on the internet have a better opinion on myself, no offense.
I will keep on enjoying pretentious, silly meme shit for as long as I get a kick out of it.
>>63254861
>-you are not an experimental musician
this is not for just you to decide
>-you are not creative since you are copying an already uncreative style
this is also not for just you to decide
>-you are not skilled because this shit takes less than a half hour in audacity
are you intentionally overlooking all the posts that prove you wrong?
>>63254960
>hedonism
lmao lad at least go all the way and devote your life to drug orgies instead of listening to shitty internet music and getting fat
>>63254948
they aren't subjective you fucking retard
do you follow or expand upon the compositional traditions laid down by people like Pierre Schafer? No -> you are not an experimental musician
did you get the idea for your music by copying something that had been done for almost a decade on youtube? yes -> you are not creative
do you make your music by sliding the speed bar on audacity? yes -> you are not skilled
>>63254981
>are you intentionally overlooking all the posts that prove you wrong?
if anyone in this thread wasted over half an hour on the derivative shit theyre posting they should probably kill themselves
>>63255092
kek he's lost it
thanks for the bumps tho :^ )
>>63255092
>lmao lad at least go all the way
Again, that requires more effort from me than I'm willing to output. I am 100% happy with my life, thank you for your concern.
>>63255092
>do you follow or expand upon the compositional traditions laid down by people like Pierre Schafer
lmao do you do RYM reviews or anything because your shit is funny.
>>63255123
>>63255166
>>63255204
no proper responses because you were all btfo, keep feeling smug though! i'm sure your creativity will be recognized one day!
>>63255272
>pretends not to be upset but still feels the need to respond
>>63255251
I came in this thread just to say holy shit, are you ok? Are you venting because your favorite microgenre isn't getting as much exposure as this or something?
>>63255306
proved my point there lol
anyway, now that that unpleasantness is behind us, please post more nijigen twinks
>>63255327
you seem to be a very egotistical person
>>63255357
a normal person would just stop responding but you feel the need to get the last word in so i will let you
>tfw post-nightcore has more potential for experimentation than vaporwave or oceangrunge
>tfw its aesthetic is constantly evolving
>tfw it's a literal goldmine of untapped potential even with all these producers hopping on board
>tfw it could split into several distinct subgenres
>tfw we may have stumbled on the future of electronic music
Godspeed /ncg/, never stop doing what you're doing. Remember to spread the gospel so more artists take a shot at this budding genre.
Daily reminder that we can also evolve beyond animu
>>63255386
thanks senpai <3 u for all your support.
>>63255386
>tfw want to get in on this but not creative or skilled enough to go beyond speeding stuff up
I have a few finished tracks just using that method, but I don't know if I can go on.
>>63255462
stay determined anon, you cant get better if you dont practice so keep at it <3
>>63255462

Thanks!
Is Horrible Recordings some sort of label?
Someone tell me what it is
>>63255865
are you sure you arent thinking of Terrible Records? I know they are a label but I've never heard of Horrible Recordings
What software do you use to make nightcore?
I've never listened to this current /mu/ meme sub genre, but this forever guy is saving me the time. If he's the type of talentless hack that "produces" this kind of shit, I want nothing to do with it.
>>63255940
I use a mix of fl and logic
>>63255920
yeah thats what im thinking off, i was kinda to lazy to search up and make sure it was the actual name
But yeah, that interests me, i hope they are up for people sending them shit
>>63255969
well its worth a shot :D
>>63235557
i actually really like this desu
>>63255949
fuck man, Favorite 水 and CtrlAltDel are annoying as fuck too
>>63255949
yeah man I totally agree with you, I hate that forever guy. I'm just so jealous of their good looks and amazing personality.

Can someone please gib feedback on the music I know it's shit but still
>>63256492
currently half-way thru, it's pretty cool
>>63256492
Liked 1, 2, and 4
Disliked 5 and 6
Didn't listen to 3 because >8 minutes
>>63256201
this is a good start to build apon, keep working at it and I'm sure you'll get something cool out of it. I'd say try avoid making songs that are too long tho like with the 3rd track on this. it tends to put people off.
>>63256522
>>63256559
>>63256614
Thanks for the feedback, everyone!
>>63255865
I run horrible recordings. It's started a joke that evolved separately from /mu/, but I still lurk these threads quietly. I just like seeing the microgenres you guys come up with.
>>63256201
This is neat as fuck, i like this alot
>>63257592
Thanks! What about it specifically do you like?
>>63258033
its probably the most expiremental post-nightcore so far, and there needs to be alot more of it. That was actually a direction i was originally planning on making. Its just really cool. Its different, it may not be the most musical, but it sounds cool
>>63258164
I was emphasizing experimental over musical, potentially to a fault. I've been focusing on weird/obscure source material to make up for my lack of original inputs/instrumentation.

It's a good idea, but most of the trash that's posted here is either lazy as shit or crappy glitched out sounding shit with little to no effort and not even good in a curatorial sense like vaporwave. Also I speed songs up but I don't call them nightcore due to the implications of it being lazy weeb trash.
If I were to put stems out for one of my songs would anybody be interested in doing remixes?
wise fwom your gwave!
I hope every single one of you dies in a horrible fire.

I don't make post-nightcore but I think this would be swell
bandcamp question
What exactly entails an embed listen?

they're both autistic, you're autistic, white, and like anime .gifs

I think those plays come from your tracks being embedded in an outside page, like of someone embeds the track in a blog post instead of posting the link.

if u wanna make 12 tone, that's cool. i like elysia crampton lecturing me on queer theory and how it relates to her composition. i dont think ur very offbase with a lot of ur criticisms, but get ur head out of ur ass, trying to tell a bunch of austrian birdwatching forum posters to emulate boulez rather than ferraro.
