2nd Album info:

>What is this, though?
The 2nd /MLP/ Plays album, that’s what! Following the success of the first one, we decided that the world needs another. Like before, it will be a compilation album from the musicians of /mlp/. There is no specific genre that has to be adhered to, but there will be more guidelines to follow this time.

>What are the guidelines?
This time around, it’s been decided that the music for this album has to be pony related. “But what what does that mean!?” you may be wondering. Well, here is what we mean:
Songs need to be original or redone covers based off of the below conditions. It may be but is not limited to:
•Cover/remix of the music from the show.
•An original that is based off of a riff/motif/recognizable theme from the show
•Original piece that uses samples from the show (probably more than just one gasp at the end. Should really be part of the song)
•Original songs with pony related lyrics, like "Waifu Blues" or "All Ponies Must Be Perfect" from the last album.
•Redoing the music and lyrics to be pony related. Mr. Bones's Wild Ride (Hotel California Parody) from the last album is a good example.
•Includes /mlp/ related maymays/jokes/culture.
•No singing over instrumentals of other artists’ songs. "I Am Awesome" is an example. It would, however, be OK if the instrumental was redone.

>Are there any other guidelines?

sick nice awesome, i was waiting for the new thread

Forged this little ditty with the purpose of literally nothing but testing out my tones and brainstorming, but I quite like how it turned out.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/197vz31hrr48o1z/final+example.wav

Also, hopefully it's mastered ok. I tried to use several different audio outputs of different qualities and get it as perfect as I could; I have physically no knowledge of mastering.

Thoughts?
How far should I take it? Should it be fairly generic or should I try to intertwine some progressive metal tropes with themes from the show? (Time signatures, lead lines, etc?)
>>
>>29789522

also excuse the fact that the only link to the show is the first two bars for the meantime. this was literally just a proof of concept or something idk ill add more if people like it

>>29789522
By mastering, do you mean mixing (getting all the tracks sounding good together as a song) or actually mastering (getting multiple songs sounding good together/making 2 track bounce sounding even better and loud)?
>Should it be fairly generic or should I try to intertwine some progressive metal tropes with themes from the show?
Doing the later sounds interesting. I say see what you can do with the themes and whatnot.

Yes, that is perfectly fine, as long as it's pony or /mlp/ related in some shape or form.

I mean mixing, then. I haven't really ever looked into music production so terminology inst my strong point. Sorry.

That's because you uploaded a WAV file with a bitrate of 12288kbps.
I usually only expect WAV files to be about one tenth that bitrate (and one tenth that size for a thirty second clip).

That wasn't even the intention though. I never tweaked the settings when I exported; it just came out at that bitrate. Now that I KNOW, I can make sure it doesn't do the same again.

Thank you for letting me know why though.

>I never tweaked the settings when I exported; it just came out at that bitrate
I know, I know. I never intended the tone of the post to be accusative.

Something I failed to mention was that (nitpicking here) the overall volume is pretty low: music of this genre usually tries to be as loud as possible without clipping (or where the clipping isn't noticeable).
For your example, I'd say that'd translate into raising the overall volume by ~10dB.

Apart from that, I can't advise on mixing. Sounds good, anyway.
>>
>>29810590

I deliberately lowered the volume by about -5DB when I exported it; I was basically trying to get the Feel of the music right whilst making sure that anyone on this thread/partaking in the album wouldn't be deafened by it. I do plan to give it actual volume when I start to make the song proper.

Basically, I didn't want anyone complaining at me that it destroyed their ears when I was just presenting an idea. I know that some people might have their speakers set to high by default; I wanted these people to be able to listen to the WIP without having to be jumpscared and lower their volume.

Glad the mix sounds okay despite this. I didn't intend to sound offended or anything; I do appreciate the advice. Thank you.

I hope this upcoming album includes a nice loving song for Starlight Glimmer. She needs more love.

No, but you can make it if it's good enough

I just made myself sad considering the possibility that all glimmerfags are terrible musicians so there would never be a good song for glimmy.

Made this quick ditty. Pentatonic melody trying to ape an Irish reel. More practice required.
Thought of recording it after reading talk about Irish drinking songs, although this is definitely not one.
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1mVeVyCEz4p

>>29824834
I'd have to assume it's to do with the nature of music/music-making, assuming that the only difference between drawfag generals, writefag generals and here is the medium with which we create our art (to sound completely pretentious).
Perhaps it's to do with an inherent social nature demanded music (as I read somewhere)? Counterexample to that would be the solo contributors who seem to make music and do fine without a social bent on their music-making.
Or perhaps a clue or two can be gleamed by looking at content creation, that doesn't thrive to the scale of write- and drawfaggorty, like game-makers (if that's a possible comparison)?

>>29826153
>>Just finished it
>we're trying to keep to unreleased stuff
Does make me wonder: are solo contributors supposed to sit on their work for months after completion until the collaborative album gets released?
>>
>>29827857

>are solo contributors supposed to sit on their work for months after completion until the collaborative album gets released

This also got me thinking; are we solo contributors allowed to release our music as 'singles' from the album? Obviously still sending the profits to charity, but dropping them with unique art under our own aliases?

I only ask because some people might be proud of their creations and want to get personal exposure through pushing their song themselves, not just the mention and feature on the album.

Not sure if this is the place to ask but

There's a certain Discord remix I'm looking for from a few years ago. All I remember is that the video had a pony with a green mane and the song started with an organ playing the intro. Any ideas?
>>
>>29849896
is it the one by living tombstone.
>>
>>29849896
I've been through some 15 pages of Discord remixes on YouTube. Yet to find one with a green pone in the thumbnail. Some black and green CG dragon, but no pone.
As for the description of the song, it sounds more like you're describing the original from Eurobeat Brony: I'll assume it takes more influence from that than it does from the Living Tombstone's remix.
