Play guitar, bass and drums. I play psychedelic rock/hard rock/ jam rock kind of stuff. Im working on making a demo, i play all the instruments in them. Anybody know a place i can upload mp3 files? I have a song that has the instrumentals done

>>35400867
>Play piano and violin
I love blues more than I love life, though
Could probably play every ink spots song by heart

>>35401499
interesting stuff. 'the blood' sounds cool. hope it picks up, i'm sure you can get a few pairs of ears your way if you promote it here and there

>>35401586
instaud.io and clyp.it seem to work well. the latter has some sort of noise reduction when recording so... your type of music sounds promising. let's hear it

Drummer and can't find anyone to play with. Posted some classified ads around town but no responses. Not using CL. I practice by myself the few times I'm not sunk into clinical depression.

>>35401676
shit, i'm dying for one. they're usually in shitty cover bands around here. i'd love to jam and push one into some crazy original stuff but there aren't a lot of drummers around here (northwest europe)

Not original

am I fucked?

thought about learning Bass but I have no fucking idea where to start

>instruments
mostly guitar but I can also play the drums and piano, but not as well as guitar
>what do you play?
i write a lot of slow folk-y singer-songwriter shit and I play a lot of 80's hard rock when I use my electric.
>aspirations
I want to be a rhythm guitarist/lead singer combo for a rock band but as stupid as this sounds I can't write rock songs to save my life, only indie shit

ah yes, we've chatted before, good stuff. i had to resign due to personal issues. hope everything comes along with the project man.

>>35401742
youtube and just googling around helps, there's a lot of good sources to learn from. best thing is to find the balance between stuff you like, and theory. see where it goes from there. a simple bass guitar to get started shouldn't cost much either. just some used axe to see what you think of it.

>>35401744
you've posted your stuff before somewhere but I don't remember where. i like the lyrics on 'a million faces'. it's really compact but still rich in content, it feels right. personally I think the track could do with some less strumming and something more memorable so that it takes a more unique shape, but I still like it.

>>35401935
>>35402105
I don't know much about music desu, but in my opinion it's pretty good, only a bit basic or repetitive.
I feel like it lacks a certain 'punch' if you know what I'm saying. something that grabs you when you listen to it.

>>35402182
the best bands are the ones that have different music styles come together to form something distinct and interesting

>>35402105
i like the idea. for that sort of riffing I'd suggest a much different but mostly heavier mix. something like Led Zeppelin's Wanton Song, that'd do your song justice as it's pretty interesting but the mix is bottlenecking the entire thing. i'm curious what it'll sound like over time. also adding some more groove in the guitar could spice it up. it's a bit straight forward now but it feels like it wants to go somewhere else. all in all it's a cool foundation.

>>35401943
what you need to do is get your hands on a proper VST drum plugin (addictive drums is pretty good) and work your stuff out. you're being limited I think. bass shouldn't be much of an issue for a player like you. also stay on the lookout for bandmates. if you're from the netherlands hit me up. though, these days you can work on music using the internet as well, so.

>>35402017
now that's one you don't hear often. got anything to showcase ?

>>35402202
Yeah that song is one of my least dynamic songs. Thats why we did that one first lol. Also redoing the drums in the studio will help the middle section be not so boring i think. I kinda half assed the drums in 1 take

It's not about musicians that CAN'T agree to create something using their love for other genrese. It's about people that want to be just like X or be a tribute band of Y, and that's just killing any sense of creation.

I'm ok with doing covers for the fun of it, but that's in between of original content that has heart put in

>>35402270
Thanks for the feedback bro. Yeah this is by no means the final mixing for that track. We are redoing drums next saturday at a studio and my friend is an audio engineer and hes gonna master it all together then

>>35402312
yeah cover bands are the worst imo.
even if you got mildly successful, you would still always be second to the band you are copying.
It's like a painter that exclusively copies other peoples work, there is no artistic value or creativity in that.

one thing that I learned about how to make a band quick is to talk with other bands. Most people will want a band that makes a different sound from their former also, stealing band members to make your own Frankenstein is a lot of fun

Guitar and vocals

I just want to be a white r&b singer in a funk band with a sick bass guitarist and drummer and jazz keyboardist.

I live in a shitty city music wise so I'm recording some acoustic guitar stuff to just showcase my voice. When I move to a different city I know I can get into a band as a singer.

This is what I've been working on. My voice cuts out a lot or drys and gets raspy because I have a cold but it's still alright. I'm going to add some more backing vocals going wah-ooo with a harmony and a lead guitar.

>>35400867
>what instrument do you play ?
electric guitar, guitar, banjo

>what do you like to play ?
metal, rock, blues, folk, country, bluegrass

>any aspirations ?
i was in a death metal band a few years back. We were mopped the floor with every other underground metal band in our city, on a technical level. Sadly we split up.
But we're currently trying to kind of get back together and make something new. I'm writing all the music except for drums. I'm excited about it but we have no idea if it's gonna go anywhere. I have to invest tons of time which I rarely ever find

>post jams/works
eh, why not, this is unreleased and probably never will be. I'm proud as fuck of it though. Best song i've come up with so far. Solo's not by me.

Instruments
>Euphonium
>Tuba
>Bass Trombone
>Trumpet

I enjoy playing Euph and Tuba more than the others, they're one in the same but are also more fun than the others.

I enjoy marches the most. Sleigh Ride is a blast on tuba. Coat of Arms by George Kenny is one of my personal favorites. Lastly Serenade for wind band is very fun, especially when I learned the mixed meter time signature, alternating between 11/8 13/8 14/8 etc.

I'm currently going to college in Louisiana for a music ed degree. I also wanna do more pit work in plays in New Orleans since it's not too far and they look good on your record, as well as getting your name out there.
I'm also in the Marines reserves for college so I get some income and college is paid for, plus after college I can just go to active duty and do military band and so forth.

It's your rhythm to be honest my dude.

Listen to some jazz fusion like this and get into the syncopation of it. You aren't floating on the beats well. You sound like a white guy dancing.

bumping

Drummer reporting in, been in a few bands nothing ever really clicked, my fault most likely. Im gonna move up front though, thats honestly where I belong. Need about a year of practice though.

Craigslist is a good start but I feel like its a crap shoot, you got to go out and find these people at least in my experience I met other people through friends and acquaintances.

Probably too old at this point, sort of missed my opportunities when I should have taken them. Fuck it. Its something Im really good at and like to do. So we'll see.

Anyone in the Cincinnati area I play drums and am pretty bored playing alone

>>35400867

>what instrument do you play ?
guitar and a little bit of drums on the side but im very mediocre
>what do you like to play ?
when i'm just playing by myself in my room most of the stuff i play falls somewhere under
punk, math rock, skramz, post hardcore, emo, and metal.

>any aspirations ?
to play a show, which I'll finally be doing for the first time tomorrow night with my band Crowning. my next goal is to go on a small tour.

>post jams/works

crowningpool.bandcamp.com (band I currently play guitar in. its a mix of skramz and post-hardcore)
pregant2gether.bandcamp.com (band i used to be in that the band I'm in now formed out of)

Guitar would definitely be a good way to pass the time, drums too expensive for the right equiptment and too loud, guitar seemd suiting as well.

I can play jazz, its boring.. its technical sure.. I like stuff like dave matthews and jazz fusion, but its more about soul.. its about you. Not so much whats going to be harder to play. I know its immature, but its about whats real. People will respect what you do more if its real.. Im more into technicality dark nihilistic undertones.. its not about being depressed or angsty or angry. its just tight

>>35403110
There are good muscians that can replicate that jazz feel.. steely dan, hendrix, clapton.. I would do that. I sort of prefer my music to be drug fueled haha, if that makes any sense to you

I listen to a lot of velvets stuff. you've got the feel down mate. it's that velvets sort of modesty in the way of playing but still the kind of interesting vibe that a listener looks up to, if that makes sense. the mix seems taken care of as well. I like it. i think you've preserved the song.

I've shared my really short acoustic demo before and people usually like it, but compositionally it's mad simple, here's a track from that
https://clyp.it/t15zm4ym

And as for the work in progress, the only things i have recorded are some ambient electronic stuff that isn't really representative of how the rest of the songs are, which is mostly piano and synth with a bit of acoustic guitar in it, but here are those two already recorded tracks
https://clyp.it/vhezckmz

I play guitar. Have played on and off for years but never really developed a style. Just playing along to songs and playing fingerstyle instrumentals.
I am now starting to get more into learning how to play blues.

I just really wanna be able to create my own music.

>>35401935

at around 0:36 instead of just playing the same note 16 times, how about change the last 8 to a higher note?

just a suggestion, it sounds good robro

>Good saxophone
>decent bass
>dick around on piano and drums

I'm in a pop/rock band, an orchestra and a number of different sporadic music groups. When left to my own devices I jazz it up though. Got a jazz cover of the Melee menu theme that basically sums up my "skills". Made for a challenge in a week by myself with two mics so it's a shitty mix but there you go.

>>35404707
i think it would be a dream come true for any weeaboo chick who's a decent/good singer to have this sort of foundation to work with. where do you find them... that's a tough one. /jp/ ? conventions ? they're sketchy ideas but since you seem like a good producer you can go a long way to reach your ideal piece of art. approaching people at an open stage at some club with this sort of "japanese styled" music is really hit or miss and might get you the right results. maybe an existing project could hook you up with the resources you need. im sure there's some demand for this sort of style in the west.

The acoustic demo sounds like a harp, sounds good bro.
The other ambient sounds are pretty comfy as well.
>>35404231
I love this, it's a upbeat pop with a laid-back kind of feel, its fast and slow at the same time.
>>35402690
I dont like metal, but I have to admit that jam is hot.
>>35402575
This is amazing, luv it.

This is smooth man, I can get down to this

That second one was sick, I dont know much you could add to it, maybe pick up tempo? Anyway it's nice.
>>35401935
I really think this is good, it takes my mind far out.

>>35405528
thanks, I appreciate that. i've tried to let it flow into a ballad and a bluesy ballad, which seems closest but I want to be sure it maintains at least the quality of what's already there. it always feels like I'm stretching it out. the parts that are there were written for a friend not long after she took her own life so i've always got this voice in me telling me it's complete the way it is. a feeling rather than a song. as a musician i'd like to work it out but perhaps it's time to let it rest for real this time. i just wish I could do more

>>35405779
From what I know music is more about feelings than a song

I don't really record stuff anymore because I'm a lazy piece of shit and stoned all the time, but here's some stuff I recorded.

Thanks man, first jazz song I ever composed. I'd like to do more in the future, hopefully with better mixing

>>35405878
You should record some more anon. These are awesome.

>>35405896
I listened to breathe. never thought i'd stumble upon this sort of combo, but you know, this track is like galaxie 500 and lorde mixed together. wouldn't say that's even close to bad either.

all in all it's a bit poppy for my tastes but when the drums come in on domino fortress i must say you've got some good feel for music. all of the tracks seem interesting but they've got something catchy going as well. you should be able to get some success with this. i hope so

>>35406012

thanks anon, i'm trying to get that motivation back.

>>35406151

I've been putting it off since I'm busy and the drawing technique is a serious barrier.

>what instrument do you play ?
Guitar ofc

>what do you like to play ?
Blues mainly. A little bit of jazz here and there but I'm too lazy to learn it

>any aspirations ?
I at some point really wanted to write music in the style of The Smiths, they had that much of an effect on me

However I could never find people that liked the same music as me (I can only find old guys to play blues with, thats it) let alone had the same ambitions

>post jams/works
Deleted them ages ago. They were all shit recordings on an old 8-track I had anyway

What are some good ways to meet people who play music? Music stores.

>>35406497
>u rockin that $100 violin

OP here. I'm out. thanks for all the contributions and opinions in this high quality thread. we've got a great userbase of musicians around here.

I'll start another thread of the same name soon (or feel free to do it yourself) and we can check up on each other in a while, see how things are coming along. keep on rocking in the free world y'all

>>what instrument do you play ?

Right now just the piano, but I used to play the flute, guitar and violin.

All of those I played when I was kid and the flute I actually played in school up until grade 10 or 11. I managed to forget everything about music theory, how to play those instruments and everything related to music. I've been relearning how to play most of those and how to into music, as well as FL Studio, but I haven't got a violin anymore

>>what do you like to play ?

Anything that gives me a good feeling, and the desire to learn it fully and master it perfectly

>>any aspirations ?

Becoming the next Max Martin, sell my songs to pop normies and bank the millions so that I can also make all sorts of other music like chiptune or black metal without having to worry about paying the bills with fringe music that most people don't listen to

>>post jams/works

Soon.

>>35407256
Is learning the piano difficult. I want to learn it in the near future but for now I am relearning my rudiments on drums.

>>35407289
Well there is that meme about something something easy to learn but difficult to master.

I'm also not planning on becoming a concert hall pianist or anything I can't even be bothered to learn the proper hand placement (I probably totally should though).

At the very least on a visual level, the way how notes are layed out from left to right on a piano, yeah it is extremely easy, especially compared to the EBGDAE vertical/horizontal hot mess of a guitar fretboard, and other variables like dowtuning. C will always be followed by D, followed by E, followed by F, etc.

It's also how virtual instruments and sounds are processed in the program FL Studio, with the "piano roll" because a piano is by far the most intuitive instrument to learn.

>>35407660
Would you recommend getting a book and learning on my own or trying to get a teacher? What music do you play?

Well it depends on how far you want to be dedicated to the piano. If you want to be an actual pianist down the road then definitely get a teach but if you just want a keyboardist then a book and some online resources is all you need.

Start with just a book and tutorials either way.

Actually if you buy a starter keyboard, it'll likely come with its own songbook and method to teach you hand placement.

I have a 61-key Casio keyboard and it teaches you how to play songs from Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Bach, etc. all with the proper hand placement.

I play, maybe not surprisingly, a lot of animu/weeb music.

I'm currently learning this one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZUnNyEbGa4

Afterwards I want to learn this one as well

>>35408182
Music is still music "weeb" or not. I like those they sound nice. Id want to learn ode to joy. I've been looking at a Yamaha piano with a dial for your foot. But this Casio where can I find it specifically? Guitar center

Also is that nico nico show a music anime?

>>35408182

>>35408301
Kinda sorta, but the focus is much more on girls becoming pop idols than actual musicality. I adore Love Live! but if you're expecting a deeper look at music than cute girls singing and dancing you may be disappointed.

>>35408359
How do you have so many followers? Bots?

>>35408453
i used to follow 4 follow a lot of people and then unfollowed because most of them quit using soundcloud

>>35408243
>Music is still music "weeb" or not.

That's right, I listen to literally every genre of music that I know of and always look for some more.

Even music that I personally don't love or even find annoying I try to think why other people enjoy it and try to put myself in their shoes.

>But this Casio where can I find it specifically? Guitar center

I got mine from Best Buy a couple of years ago, iirc it was like 120$ or something like that. It was just the keyboard, with a music stand and book but you can buy other accessories like the pedal or a stand for the keyboard itself. One of the songs in the books is Ode To Joy actually.

Anyways you should shop around your local stores or even online. Mine's a CTK-2400 which is designed for people learning to play the piano and has extra features like USB connectivity, MIDI sampling, built-in microphone, etc. A keyboard's a keyboard though, definitely have a look around to see what's available and best suited for your needs.

Exactly. The anime itself is more about the girls getting into wacky situations and overcoming the challenges of becoming school idols, but the music is still there and the music is great.

The rhythm game is for phones/tablets fun too. It won't really help you in learning how to play anything but it's fun, and it might help you if you're really all thumbs and rhythm is a challenge.

>>35408586
post a sample my dude

>>35408672
So is classical music hard on piano for reference. Moonlight sonata or winter wind. Also I want to watch it but I just stated clannad

Piano and I play mostly classical stuff and anime piano covers.
https://soundcloud.com/martin-gritsch/lost-time-memory-piano-cover-take-2
I can't really compose and I have no sense of rythm so I'm trying to fix that by playing osu.

>>35409029
What anime music and classical do you like

>>35409313
Anime really depends, I like the kagerou project, I like stuff by yuki kajura, I did a cover of Resuscitated hope.
Classical mostly Beethoven and Chopin, but I'll play anything I find interesting.

>>35407222
Practice Paradiddles.

And play RRLLRRLL...... on a pillow until your forearms can't even.

>>35409459
Is it hard at first to read the NOTES? I was told by the piano teacher near me it's like learning another language

>>35409527
Do you move your whole arm or just the wrist and fingers? When I try to play hi hat faster than 8th notes my arm tenses up. And thank you

I just updated a beat I'd made a few days ago
How's it sound?

>>35409620
I really like it! I'll play drums to it and record it for you if they make another thread

>>35409577
I played snare in marching band in high school.....
The idea behind that was to look as much like a machine as possible.
Basically no arm movement.
All the strength came from the forearms and the muscle between your index and thumb.
(We played matched grip)
But, I play the drumset, as well.
Which, of course, requires arm movement.
The shoulder muscles will hurt, yeah.....but it's still all in the forearms.

Get some marching band snare sticks.
We used Ralph Hardiman's.
They're heavy.
Don't use them on your set.
Play on your leg or a pillow.

Basically, the motion you want:
Squeeze the fuck out of the stick.
All forearm.
Then just use the wrist motion.
....just so you can feel it.

>>35409793
Thanks I've played both for years and never knew rudiments and how to play right. I still struggle with speed and flexibility. Im going to take your advice

>>35409645
That would be nice. Do you want me to post a version without drums?

>>35409934
Sure, is vocaroo easy to implement?

>>35409897
Play straight sixteenth notes or tripletts and move "diddles" around.

I = 16th
Z = diddle

> Z I I I Z I I I Z I I I Z I I I
All RLRL..
Diddle's in the right hand

> I Z I I I Z I I I Z I I I Z I I
Diddle's in the left

> Z I I Z I I Z I I Z I I
Tripletts
Diddle alternates

And so on and so forth.
Get creative.

>easy to implement
I mean, you can download it in mp3 but if you mean for an actual recording then no, the audio quality is terrible

>>35410224
I'll just play with it record it and then have that. The audio may sound bad. I don't particularly have microphones for my drums.

>what instrument do you play ?
Bass, some piano but i'm shit

>what do you like to play ?
I don't play so much now, I'll jam dadrock and 80s pop tracks with some guys maybe once a month but that's about it. Want to get into some more funk, but really want to develop something new
>any aspirations ?
I need to get myself some good software to play around with. I figure if I have something to sit down at record over and over with and play around with the results I'll play my bass more. Anyone got any suggestions?
>post jams/works
Like I have anything worth listening to. There's vids of me on youtube because the other guys I play with wanted to record but it's frankly shameful.
