General Music Chat

Okay, click on my avatar, go to my profile & click on "Flooberdoo." I recorded this in garageband. Yes, I put this thing together, but keep in mind that I did NOT play a single note on any instrument you can hear. It took about an hour to throw this together. This is fun stuff to play with, for sure, but beware of ppl using these samples as examples of their own work!

I'll only leave this up for a day or two, cuz it isn't anything I'm proud of. Just thought you might need an example of what it is & what can be done with it. Admittedly, I haven't tried to add anything to their samples, & yes, it's possible to do so.

It just amazes me that there are ppl out there (& in here, as well!) who paste & layer these samples & call the result their own work, & think it's a perfectly legitimate thing to do.

Well I'll be dipped in crap then rolled in cracker crumbs.
I had no idea.
Thanks for throwing that monkey wrench in the ol garage band works Phil.

WTF??? Garage Band !?!? (pardon me whilst i go dogpile er-google) brb..

I thouht i was in a garage band till you straitened me out thanks.

-ok the prog i use (audition) has several hundred 'royalty-free' sound segments , they call it 'loopology' cd that you could put together a song with . It has drums, guitar riffs, horns, bass etc, but I really dont fool with it.. tried, but it was un-interesting, I can see how maybe somebody could put a song together with stuff like this tho, .. Nice job with yours, Philby..sounds pretty good actually, Thanx for the heads-up. Good to know that stuff's out there. Musicianless bands. lol. what's next? Guess they wont be going on tour..

Most Hollywood film scores uses midi so they only have to hire twelve musicians, tops, if they don't want to hire a full orchestra. I was talking to the guy who composed the music for Lost, that really lame tv series, and he says that they don't use musicians at all. It's all midi.

Somehow in these days and times, that's not surprising.

Yeah, I'm gonna name my next band "The Archaic Anachronisms"

oops - wrong thread!

That one AA meeting I'd have to make.

Check out "Blunderfinger," if you're still interested. It's the other one I did. This one took me 3 hours, but it was my 1st attempt at playing with the program. I actually like this one better, for what it is, but again, I gotta say that it's just crap. No instruments were harmed in any way, or even used by me, in the process of recording this.

I admit that it's very tempting to play with, but I would not call this "my work" or "my creation," even. That would be like calling a kid playing with Lincoln Logs a builder or an architect.

Blunderfinger was the only one on there the other one Flooberdoo is not up, did you take it down already?
WOW you sequenced all that. That is how I get drum trcks on my BR1180 off of Discreet Drums.
The Album from the archives (first twelve songs) I have up are the real deal thow. A band I was in, called Rare Seed in 1996 its the ones after that, I originally had up I used Discreet Drums on, that way I had full control over my originals.

Yeah, I dropped Flooberdoo off to put up the newer one. I'll put it back up for ya.

All I did was paste & layer the available samples on garageband, JH. It's so simple a chimp could do it, & prolly make it sound as good as mine, or better. Click & drag stuff.

There's a whole lot of sampled sounds on this program. It's designed for Macs, I think. My friend has a Mac, & that's what I did it all on.

Sure, it was fun, but could I possibly call it "my creation?" I think not. I'm like that kid stacking Egg-O's.

Anyway, I'll leave this up for anyone curious enough to check it out, today. But tomorrow, my OWN stuff goes back up! LOL

Man that sounds like something Alan Parsons would produce, so you don't actually have to sequence that huh. I wonder how many people are using this in their music
I was watching StarGate Sg1 and a kid in an episode said
"There's no such thing as original thought anymore, we're all just regurgitating the same old thought, welling it down into a pot of midiocrite"
Maybe it's true

Yep. i'm well aware of garageband.
I made a little song for my nephew in under an hour -- all loops and samples.
Another thing I did is typed up a little ditty, set to loops and samples, and fed one of those computer voices back into the vocal track through the laptops own mic. With the voice that sounds the most like Stephen Hawking.
(you know outta the box, on macs, you can have the computer speak back something in a text document or web page, etc)
Good times
Hard to chop up the 'vocals' and slide them into being on time with the music though.

With the exception of 'Cripes' on my Bmix player, all the drums are just garageband loops that I layed something on top of.
I dont wanna spend all day programming drum beats n stuff for demo purposes.

Anyways... to me its pretty obvious when its all garageband digital instruments.

Phil,

That does sound like it should be a soundtrack to a movie LOL

Pretty cool sounding though.

Does this mean that music that has all that layering is from Gragageband?
