Friendly bump from your guys' number one fan

I'm no musician, but I always had this idea of turning Alice's Restaurant:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m57gzA2JCcM
into a MLP related song, and name it something like Rarity's Boutique or Twi's Library.

>>29724910
Thanks, Weim. hopefully, this album will get done

Hey man, I really hope you do too and would be glad to make another video or two for you guys.

But hey even if it doesn't you guys will relish the experience because it proved that you guys are definitely capable.

First album was fun af though. I still listen to the music a lot just because it reminds me of you goofy ass motherfuckers and your thread.

Still one of my fav collabs of all time desu.

I hope some of you guys get to BABS this year for our /mlp/ panel to talk about it.

hi

I would if I could, honestly. I've learnt the basic music theory but I just can't get my hands dirty and make even decent stuff.

How can I begin to make songs that doesn't suck if I already know the basics? Is there a nice way to do it? Everything seems so overwhelming when you start.

>>29729096
There is no way to make "good" stuff when you're starting out. I have the same problem, where I know the theory, but I never can create anything, because I can hear that it's shit. But honestly, start simple. Find one thing you want to work on, and make a piece around it. Make one or two songs where your focus is on honing in on one or two skills, rather than the the goal being to make something "good." Then, once you feel more comfortable with that, find something else you want to do better, and work on that. The more specific you get, the better off you'll be.

Good night thread

Good morning

>>29727772
Ah snap man that ain't bad. For "Becoming Popular", I particularly like the first ~30 seconds. I think that's the strongest bit, and the instrumental fits the best with the vox there. I'd love to hear the feeling that part has in the rest of the song.

>>29727316
True, but I'm hoping we can get enough to warrant a video. Again, thanks. It's good to know you're still willing to help with this.

>>29727999
checked. Also, I'm not rip. I'll be at everfree northwest. I think one of our guys is, however.

>>29729096
My best general advice is do and suck as much as possible. You get better by doing and studying other songs. Listen for all the little parts and how it's put together. A lot can be gathered from that. We can also tell you how much you suck and how to get better kek.

>>29729280
I could

The music you are using doesn't apply well with the vocals. Don't get me wrong, the music is fine, but it's like you just added the vocals because you can.

let me give you a good example that goes well both music and vocals:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HI_k9iT5hY

Wish i could show you pony songs that uses classical instruments and structures as example, but i have nothing at the moment.

>>29727772
>>29733668
>>29733771

I think most of the trouble comes from the fact that it is vocals from a pop song that are being shoehorned into an essentially polar opposite genre

I could have gone the traditional remix route and added all sorts of production elements to the vocals to try and cover up some of the awkward phrasing, but for this project I was aiming to leave the vocals completely alone, and treat them as recitative that acts in a supporting role equal to the orchestra rather than have them be the focal point

I find there is an interesting bell curve when it comes to pony music of this genre, where if you don't reference to the show enough be it through lyrics or other direct material, you can come across as being disingenuous and on the other hand, if you start with nothing but material directly from the show, and craft a piece that arises solely from that material, it yields a quite similar outcome

Does /mlp/ plays need cover art?
I can't music but I can draw

>>29739478
First: maybe, do you have something to show?
Second: it's to early to think about the cover art. Like the thread says, it's looking for talents because there's a huge lack of songs and massive amount of shitposting on /mlp/

The tentative plan this time around is that this project will likely become a short EP because of lack of interest. Additionally, this may be the last thing /mlp/ plays does now that everyone's beginning to move on with their lives.

we could always just extend the release date to allow this thread to pick up steam.

besides, remember the only form of advertisment we get in terms of getting people here is the actual thread being up with COLLAB ALBUM etched into the stone of the OP

i'll have you know that i thought this thread was dedicated to playing video games, like an /mlpvg/ by the name until i clicked it the dropbox file.

It's hit and miss. At times, the orchestra complements the voice and at others, it feels like they've been mushed together.

Art of Dress sounds weirdly somber, it's hit and miss

gonna post a few raps i made, all in early stages r n, i don't think they're going to end up looking anything like this but what the hell.
Not like i know how to do tone or anything either, dynamics in tone for something like this makes my head spin.

name of song : probably something along the name of "Epilogue" or something.
Sample - main riff from 'Gives you Hell'
about chrisi
https://pastebin.com/p5XTZNe4

Name; something along the lines of "Darkside"
Sample (right now) first bass bit of "The National Anthem" by Radiohead.
https://pastebin.com/hZeRhLhB
this one needs hella polishing, the rhyming is all over the place. but i do like this more so-far than the chrisi song, for the record.

then i have a- i think a Slice of Life rap, happier rap as a concept and then a Pinkie Pie/ Pinkamena rap as a duet in the style of one voice, different tones.

got a couple more concepts on the rise but that's really all that's definite in that department.


oh and bump

Glad to see you're putting together another album, and thanks again for including my orchestral arrangement of Giddy Up on the last one. If you want, you guys can feel free to include this in the new project; I asked Greg earlier if he'd mind, and he had no problem with it at all.

Basically, I just took a Vocaroo that Greg had posted on the board ages ago in response to people asking for him to say some lewd stuff in MAS Dash's voice and put together an early 90's Eurodance-style track to mix the vocals with, the joke being to parody groups like Culture Beat, La Bouche, etc.

Those of you familiar with the 4CC might recognize it from one of the few times it was played on-air (though I don't believe it's ever been heard in its intended context as IWTCIRD's goalhorn during an official match), or from the brief animation Greg was nice enough to agree to do which played prior to our first match this past Winter Cup.

In either case, keep up the great work, and good luck with the album.

Does it matter what genre the music is, or are there some genres you guys don't allow?

>>29758247
If there is a genre not allowed, we haven't found it yet, so you can do whatever you like.

id contribute to this if i felt my kinda genre would fit in. not sure how an instrumental metal track would work

it WOULD use the MLP theme as an underlying base, just maybe shifted to minor or played in a way that made it fit with the tuning. not sure though

>>29759230
That would definitely work. I've heard it done before

but for real though I got a couple songs to consider, gotta decide which one I'll submit, but I'll wait for things to pick up before

here's to hoping the second album doesn't end up having a 2019 release

True but I don't want to do the whole thing since it's supposed to be a collaborative effort. But if it would be easier to just write out the whole thing and others can fill in with their instruments I guess that could work too

>>29778561
we need tabs, boss.

we've got atleast one guitarfag on here that has the ability to literally learn any tab you've got.
