Oy while we are discussing OST
I just looked into milky tracker today and itll be a while til I learn it but know I am already committed.
I went to college for classical guitar performance and know how to read and write music.
Anyway anyone else compose chip tunes or synth music? what do you use?\

Has some 7/8

Plok starts in 7/4 and switches to 4/4.

FUCK am I insane or was there a Yoshi's Woolly World piece in 5/4, kinda jazzy with the Mission Impossible rhythm going in it? I think it was in like a gameplay trailer but I can't find it in the OST.

This thread reminds me; some anon posted a really nice game track that was the title theme of some pc game, not sure if it were an online or offline game. It was a slower 3/4 time piano theme and the game cover had a woman on it, all I can remember from it.

>>387669649
I dont know what everyone else is doing, but I typically focus on the bass parts of a song to figure out whats generally going on and I count the beats in 2's and add it up at the end of a measure.

HARDMODE: No Mother 3

>>387669649
With most music you can feel a pulse, like at certain times you feel "grounded." Usually this "pulse" lasts 4 beats, sometimes it lasts 3, sometimes it lasts 11. It's purely intuitive so it'd be hard for people on the internet to help you out, but try to hear it in these.
All of these are in 4:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0WdQDPRwb4 (listen for bass drum)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH8mQRXemuo (listen for bass)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3086YllVVs (two harp notes = one beat)
This one is in 3:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCNn8_Cnl-0 (listen for boom-chick-chick | boom-chick-chick in the accompaniment)


>>387669980
I listen to the drums usually.

>>387670282
That's the tempo, not the time signature.

>>387670129
I only ever used ableton 6 years ago to try and imitate real instruments. I play classical music on guitar since I can arrange most sheet for it. I just never made a living off it and ended up a laborer.
Still milky tracker seems best for me. I am going to check out sunvox tomorrow.
I want to build a game on my own and while music comes late into the process I want to be prepared especially since this is probably my strongest feature so far in creating.

>>387670512
I listen to tones first typically. Bass then melody then inner voices then I figure out the time signature.

4/4 is kind of easy because you can count 4 beats but the other ones confuse me

Here's the Masked Man version, which is in fucking 29/16. Effectively the same signature, but removing one 16th beat per bar.
I don't even know, man.

>>387672639
I think you mean 3/4. You're over complicating things. It's a pretty standard waltz.

>>387673390
was just about to post this, also this analysis of the rhythm battles. Its such a great mix of sound design and game design, where simple changes to a song can mean an increase in difficulty
https://danbruno.net/writing/mother3/
>Since 14.5/8 isn’t really an option, that leaves us with the decidedly spicy time signature of 29/16. Not only that, this metrical compression has created 3:5 tuplets—three notes are divided evenly into the last five beats of each measure.
>Remember how I said that the timing window in Mother 3 is very small? Here’s where that really comes into play. In most rhythm games, being late by a sixteenth note at this speed (around 253 BPM, if you’re counting eighth notes) is within the acceptable margin of error. Not so here—if you try to play this track like the easier “Strong One,” your combo will get buried.

A classic

>>387673447
If you were to write it in 3/4 that would require a nonsensical amount of triplets, that's definitely 9/8. Left is way easier for someone to read than the right.

>>387673245
this shit is easy to play, it's just guitar wankery over signatures that end up summing to 4/4 anyway

dream theater is babby-level prog

>>387673447
The melody is straight triplets and I don't hear any duples in the drums so it's fair to call it 9/8 I think. It's not really that much more complicated than 3/4.

>>387672904
Well if you can count 4 beats then you can probably count more or less than 4 beats. Listen for the emphasized beats. The strongest emphasis is almost always on beat 1. So when you hear it again, that's the beginning of the next bar.

>>387672904
After a while, you learn to recognise how certain rhythms fit certain signatures. For example, one way I've learned to easily recognise a 5/4 is from Dave Brubecks' 'Take Five' rhythm. It features a pretty typical long long short-short beat.
https://youtu.be/nzpnWuk3RjU
In the intro, the tom hits the first long and the snare comes in on the second long.
When the bass comes in, you can hear it hit the first long and the two short-shorts.

Marty O'Donnell is actually underappreciated. He has genuine musical talent unlike most vidya composers who only have expertise.

not stupid complicated trash like all these musical retards enjoy, which is just the result of lazy untrained composers. hemiolas are the perfect way to use a unique beat pattern that still holds together a number of good motifs and allows quick transition to full 3 4 or 6 8 whenever needed. Any other switches are gratuitous and intolerable, and i'm not sure why anyone would want to abandon a nice waltz anyway.

Or, you'll be so proficient at reading sheet music, that you can play a song on the fly, without any practice.
No matter how skilled you are at learning a song through muscle memory, you won't be able to play it without hearing it, unless you know how to read music.

Take this motherfucker for example. You put sheet music in front of him, he plays it. He doesn't need to listen to the song first. He can just play it because it's all written down exactly how to do so.

How retarded are you? This is like saying a poem loses it's ''soul'' if you write it down.

>>387676168
It literally does.

>>387676168
music exists beyond words or language.

>>387675928
Practicing with sheet music is literally the same way. You keep practicing until you basically have it memorized. But for the practicing stages, it's extremely helpful to have a visual reference.
I mean you do you but you'll never get anywhere with classical music solely by ear (also if you go to school for music you'll be learning how to do things by ear anyway).
And no "soul" is lost by putting it on paper I think. If you get advanced enough with theory you would be able to truly see how incredible the classical masters are at their craft, the amount of detail they put in, it's all laid out in front of you and you put it together like a puzzle.

Notes on a paper is just a symbolic representation. I would argue that the score is the most "perfect" and any interpretation of the score is imperfect by default.

>>387676342
so? you could have a recording of everything and no written language would be needed. that sounds retarded for words, but is essential to music.

Buildings lose their souls if you make any kind of floor plan, how can a mere paper and lines convey the power of a beautiful house standing before you in real life, we should just construct houses by eye

>>387676416
You wouldn't be able to play a song perfectly without sheet music. You can't play classical music by heart. It's all laid out in very specific structures you need to follow.

>>387667748
I can't count time signatures but i think these count.

you're right only on one thing: auditory memory lasts way longer than visual memory. either way actual musicians gain auditory memory as well by playing and listening to the thing so many times

go play Chopin's fantasie impromptu by ear. it'll take you way longer than reading it

This track is unnerving as fuck, i think the hard theme greatly improved it.

>>387677193
schumann is nice, never listed to many of his works

but you're right. i suppose that's why they wank over baroque structure so much. nonetheless the occasional contemporaryposter posts some legit gems in there

I like Chopin better but yeah Debussy and Rachmaninoff are top tier too. Rubinstein's performance of Chopin's nocturnes are god tier.

That one isn't so bad. Learning to play Bleed is harder, I'd say. The fucking strum pattern is pretty weird and there are five patterns per 4/4 beat AND you slowly do a full bend every other repeat.

>>387677447
The full bend going over the entire bar, not just a single pattern. You're basically keeping track of four fucking rhythms at once, just to play the main riff.

>TFW there's a 26 college paper dissecting the rhythm of this song
Meshuggah should score a video game honestly, closest thing we got was the final boss theme from P5.

>>387677447
The main pattern is pretty simple, just three sixteenths followed by two quarters looping over 4/4

>>387669480
Sounds trash.

>>387677585
Eights, I mean. I hate how notes are named in English.

>>387677321
I've been reading Rosen's Romantic Generation and he circlejerks Schumann for two chapters so I've been getting into him a lot more from that. Apparently he did some wonky shit like doing a variation of a melody by holding out a chord and releasing notes in order (Abegg variations) and composing a chord of overtones like the last chord in Cage's In A Landscape (Paganini in Carnaval). I love his symphonies (no. 4 has an interesting cyclical structure) but I understand why people don't like them.

>>387677652
is that all in the book? im interested now

>>387675315
Pretty much, it literally has no use and most of the music posted to impress just sounds like garbo.

Rock part that begins at ~2:30: 21/16

I'm guessing

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

Not only does this song have a really fucking weird not 4/4 key signature, it has TWO not 4/4 key signatures!

From 0:00 to 0:21 it's like 5/4, then it changes to ... I think it's a 7/4 key signature. Pretty fucking weird.

>>387677737
Yep, he doesn't talk about the symphonies, just primarily early solo piano and art songs. I've only read the first two chapters but the last chapter is entirely on Schumann.

I always had a thing for the original myself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IiBX9d14rM

The original game in general felt a lot more lonely and desperate, and the music really reflected this. There was just a feeling of desperation and worry in the original Moderato, just because of the surroundings and such. The Allegro was good as well, but mostly for the same reasons, with a bit more hope added since it feels like you're so close yet so far.

It worked especially well in 1-2 and 1-4 when something big was on the line and you were up against unbeatable prosecutors at the time.

I do feel the later games give a better sense of "mystery" in their music though and Apollo's give a magical sense in the music.

>>387678204
Music is fine, vocals are something i would have liked when i was a edgy teenager thinking it actually sounds good.

>>387678204
Meshuggah's vocals really are an acquired taste, I'd say. Not everyone digs what Jens does.

>>387667748
