/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Very unlikely unless we have good musicians and composers.

And who would compose the tracks?

You're volunteering to cover the costs?

I'd rather draw a doujin.

MARGATROID

I'm sure we could do it.

>>4054684

Trap doujin? People would dig it.

I would cover the cost of burning and printing the CDs, along with shipping them to someone over in nip land. Send me some flac files you made, and lets find us a /jp/ queer with enough moon skills to register.

Let's make a game instead. How about a driving game with an ice fairy as the main character?

>>4054711
?

>>4054707
>burning and printing the CDs, along with shipping them to someone over in nip land.

Just burn and print them in nip land.

Well some anon released "My Sweet Hakutaku" by c77, amirite?

>>4054728
please tell me this came out. i will be so sad if they were just trolling the whole time.

>>4054738
I have no idea, I only saved the image :)
Would be awesome if it did exist.

>>4054728
i believe etc etc

>>4054738

Bad news for u brah

Let's make something fantastic - and by that I mean talk about making it, finding people to make it, start making it - and then everyone getting bored and not doing shit after a week.

>>4054752
>katawa shoujo
fuck you meng

>>4054752

SWEET I'll set up a project forum and register an IRC channel

>>4054752
Nah, if it's something fun to do, then people won't stop...

If people here takes it seriously, sure we will accomplish something.

It's not that hard, just find an Anonymous in Japan, preferably Tokyo and get him to register a space; it's not that expensive.
You need an album, of course, and maybe said organizer could open a PayPal account where /jp/ Anons can donate to cover production expenses (we're probably talking CD-Rs and toner here, right?).
The easier solution is probably to get a buddy in an existing circle to distribute your excrement alongside his. Pity Anonymous has no buddies.

Why pick an album to release? Since when did /jp/ know shit about making music?

>Anonymous has no buddies.
Why are we thinking of working together then?

Why do you guys always want to join the elevens in everything they do?

Just consume what they produce and otherwise keep quiet.

Columbia already released a doujin as part of this thing at c76 if I recall correctly.

Been done before.

IM GOING TO GO START ON MY REMIX OF TOUHOU MUSIC THATS BEEN BEATEN WITH DEAD HORSE, ILL POST FLAC TMORROW SO YOu ALL CAN LAUGH AT ME, WARATERU~~~~

>>4054798

>elevens

>>4054803
I suck at making remixes too, but you can get better in trying!

>>4054752
Anons (of any board for that matter) have the habit of getting together and organizing something. If the 10 year olds on /b/ can do some silly raids, surly we can release a small album at Comiket.

>>4054801

What's this?

Yeah I wouldn't mind doing a piano touhou arrangement, but I need to get myself a much better recording device.
Here's a recording of me playing and improvising a little to 紅楼　～ Eastern Dream
http://www.mediafire.com/?0nyehjd1t2c
Now, only if I had a greater ability to play the piano...
inb4, it sucks, wtf am i hearing, etc

How about something NON-TOUHOU

Fuck, this would have been fun to do this year. Why can't you guys get your shit together sooner?
I doubt I'll be in Japan for C78.

>>4054812
Like all the great VN projects which /jp/ has been involved with?

>>4054803
Why are you guys stopping at Touhou remix?
You can actually do a remix of eroge/touhou songs.
Imagine a remix album containing dream end discharger, karma, crystal clear, emiya, border of life and etc.

>>4054799
Yeah I remember

Maybe if we start NOW we'll have it for C79

>>4054816
It's nice.

>>4054805
Heh, it's not that bad actually. You could use a better mic though. Don't you have a USB/midi cable or some shit like that?

>border of life

Let's do something else instead.
like Lunate Elf or Otenba... for obvious reasons.
Although myself I'd like to see more PC98 stuff, everything else has been done to death, not that the PC98 stuff is by any means untouched, but still.

>>4054835
im game. i can play my acoustic guitar and have halfway decent recording equiptment. i dont know if i want to do touhou, but /jp/ related is almost a must.

I got a MIDI keyboard with lots of VSTs

Can't wait for this project to happen! Just like every other vaporware in the past.

Hmm i think we could do it. Ive seen some of those music threads and, theres some people that posted some nice acoustic covers.

>>4054816
Heh, it's not that bad actually. You could use a better mic though. Don't you have a USB/midi cable or some shit like that?

>>4054839
Thank you anon.
>>4054862
It was recorded on that thing you see to left underside of my crt monitor.(>>4054886) My Cowon s9... it's the only recording device I have... haha

>>4054907
It's pretty good, anon.

>>4054907
Such a mess

>>4054907
Cool desktop.

i'd suggest using DAWs and collaborate online.

>>4054966
que?

>>4055046
digital audio workstation

software for making music like FL Studio (i use this now), Cubase, Logic, REAPER

anyway, if you're serious on collaborating for music and not going to each other's houses for it, these might work for you

>>4054681
>who would compose the tracks?

They're already composed. All that's left is arrangement and recording.

If this actually works out, can I do the cover?

>>4055061
Gods, I'm terrible with FL Studio, but I should give it a try again.
This will be awesome if we indeed could release an album at C78, especially since I'm thinking of attending it.

>>4055061
>FL Studio
>Between 100€ and 300€

Hahaha. Maybe another time.

>>4055103
so am I, been about 6 months since i started using it and still not too good at it.

still, this is one way to collaborate over music online

>>4055110
i pirated my copy.

>>4055116
You should feel bad about it. Which version did you get?

>>4055110
What the hell? You never buy shit anyway, Anonymous, why do you suddenly have a problem with pirating this?

>>4055110
Piratebay

>>4055121
9 producers edition

i can't buy it anywhere here, so unless i'm going to import it from wherever it's from (which probably costs more than a year's worth of my allowance), it's a good way to pass time by and get into music

>>4055103
Yea, thinking of the same thing although I won't be able to contribute to this album idea.

>>4055133
Wanna go out with me?

>>4054735
I thought that was just posted online.

I downloaded my copy to apply different instrumentations to ZUN's midi version of Reincarnation.
Also, we need someone who can do the cover art. An easy solution is get someone from pixiv for a commission, unless there's someone capable of doing it in /jp/.

>>4054666
>>>666
gb2/hell/, OP!

>>4055146
what??

>>4055121
Feel bad about pirating? what are you? Some sort of faggot-moron?

>>4055149
There's lots of drawfags good enough in here

>>4055122
And we all know who should be commissionned for that, right?

>>4055183
You guys can just get those drawfags in those drawthreads that occasionally pops out here to do the album art.

>>4055183
I don't agree. There are enough that have the potential, but none of them can bring up enough motivation to keep working on something long enough to bring it up to the quality level desired.

>>4055172
You wouldn't download a car, would you?

>>4055218
Long enough? It's just a cover

>>4055218
Oh cmon, its just an album art, not the music itself. Say that to the music-makers first.

>>4055219
>implying you can

>>4055218
well, yeah, unless they get paid for it (somewhat)

>>4055232
>>4055237
Show me art a /jp/er has made that is on the level of what you find in VNs. Meaning not a sketch and with an actually well-drawn background.

>>4055250
Oh, and with an angle and characters not a simple "standing pose" but doing something dynamic.

You would need an actual idea for what the album should contain. There are thousands of Touhou remixes out there, so just making it a generic Touhou remix album wouldn't stand out very much. Should it be a series of 12 virtuosic etudes for piano, or a standard jazz album, focusing on the improvised solos performed by anon himself, or should they be j-pop songs with lyrics written by anon, and performed by Miku?

>>4055208
I was thinking this guy actually
http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=9552
or him
http://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=74093

the album covers they did for this comiket was excellent imo.

Although, realistically, using commissioned pixiv artist is probably out of the budget that we could come up with from the donation of /jp/.

ITT: drawfags in lets-make-music thread

>>4055250
it's not that impossible, anonymous is resourceful and can get lots of references for art

a collaboration between at least two drawfags here that agree on something. one would sketch, one would color, one would do the background, so that no one anon is strained with all the artwork and get lazy

Also, is this album going to be limited to a certain genre/game?

I'm assuming its mostly going to be techno/trance, if all we can use is DAWs, and maybe couple of piano pieces? I could probably handle one piano piece.

>>4055303
DAWs aren't that limited to techno and trance.

>>4055282
Well yeah, if you can get 3 drawfags to work on a single picture it might come out good enough.

>>4055303
Piano is always related

I like to try writing music. Perhaps I could write some stuff for this album, if people would be OK with it.

For an example of the stuff that I write, check here:
http://8bitcollective.com/members/dusthillguy/

A black metal album! TOVHOV

>>4055354
Who the hell are you?

>>4055354
not bad, though yeah you don't want to sell an album that with songs that sound like MIDI.

>>4055372
Some faggot. Ignore him.

I consider myself a halfway decent guitar player, I can contribute if need be

by the way, if anon is gonna release an album...

where would the income from the sales go?

>>4055306
I don't really enjoy most digital orchestral music, although I do like some of them like O-life, Rock wouldn't sound very good either.

>>4055354
I like it.

>>4055401
to a charity.

>>4055401
Our wedding.

>>4055392
Hey there good anon, do you have any samples?

>>4055381
But don't the original touhou songs sound like MIDI? And some songs from other touhou albums, as well.

>>4055415
Sure, here is some wankery on "Double Lariat"
http://www.tindeck.com/listen/jjha

K-ON's "Fuwa fuwa time"
http://www.tindeck.com/listen/fslx

Demetori's "Ghostly eyes"
http://www.tindeck.com/listen/fxwo

>>4055354
It's good, even though it kinda weird.

>>4055423
well that's just me anyway, i wouldn't want to buy an album of MIDI songs compared to an album of normal songs

wait a minute. i don't buy albums. disregard that

>>4055401
Trust fund. Covering the cost of the album.

As much as I like the sound of /jp/ releasing an album at c78, something tells me that it just won't happen. At best, we would just be able to compile the music and release it online.

>>4055372
Dunno how to answer this question exactly, but I did write one track for the DQN album "title".

>>4055381
>>4055403
>>4055442
Thanks.
I think if I work on adjusting my equipment a bit, I could get it to sound less like MIDI. I also play the bass (although not terribly well)

>>4055483
it's possible as long as some anon is willing enough to organize things to go that far

>>4055435
Oh yeah I've listened to that link before when you posted the link in my music thread, you're really good, anon.

>>4055492
I think (>>4054786)'s idea has merits.

So far, we have an anon who can play the guitar quite well, the tripfriend who can compose using synths and play the bass as well, another tripfriend who has some experience with FL studio 9, and I can play the piano a little. I think we have quite a good range of music covered here.

I might be attending C78, and I would be buying multiple copies of this, if this project works out.

I would be happy to play accompaniment on the piano. Ive even got quite a few of my own compositions we could use if need be.

If anybody needs moonskills just email me (in the subject), currently studying for JLPT1 so should be able to handle anything you need.

Not residing in Japanland at the moment though. Maybe in time for winter Comiket in 2010.

Making the music is the easy part since the /jp/ musicbros are awesome.

The hard part would everyone agreeing on what game/touhou/VN songs to remix. Or I guess we could all work on our own stuff and then collect it together in an "album".

>>4057656
Yeah, the /jp/ musicbros sure are awesome.
I mean, they make so much content and share it with the rest of us that we can't help but be amazed.

What I want to know is, what VST does nazz-can use?

Orchestral arrangements are always wanted.

>>4057669
I'm confident in my skills, Jonesy. And I believe in my fellow musicbros.

Also, you never told me what kind of theme song you wanted in Mugen's super cool game. I'm thinking of something with Japanese instruments and maybe some piano.

Mother of god why is Audacity being such a bitch. My song sounds perfectly fine if I play the audacity project file within audacity, but as soon as I export it, whether it be WAV, MP3 or OGG, I get this horrid resonance. wtf.
Here /jp/ you have a track so far, this one should be the last track imo.
Here's the link.
http://www.mediafire.com/?y2a1hai2dzn

>>4055834
Damn I wish you could do the piano part of saigetsu for me. My piano skill isn't that great.

>>4057836
Theme song? And you're actually making music for that thing?
Surprise us all with your best, I suppose.

As to the awesomeness of musicbros: faith and confidence are all well and good, but some of us would prefer something a little more tangible.

>>4057953
hah, nevermind. It was the reverb plugin I have for f2k that was causing the problem.

So what do you think, anons, how does a calming arrangement of saigetsu sound for this album?

>>4058155
Why should it be the last track?

>>4058327
I think it has a nice concluding feel to it. It was just a suggestion, and tagging it the 12th track out of 12 was just a joke anyways.

>>4057953
I'm more of a improvising sort of guy but if you give me an mp3 or midi of the song I will see what I can do

I would download it

I'm moving to glorious Nippon in March....

>>4058532
how about Dango daigazoku in swing 4/4 in an easy key like c min? Can't really send post a recording today as I've already spent too much time on that saigetsu recording, but how does the idea sound to you?

>>4059032
It sounds retarded

>>4059032
I'm up for whatever, that said original content is fine too, send me an email. If you want me to just play the piano track from
http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pcfc2/score/dango2.mid
that's fine or if you want to mix it up a bit just send me a rough (anything is fine, you can hum your part for all I care) and I will work with it. Also I don't think the key matters, we can change that in post production, that said I will play it in c min if you've got some problem with a pitch shift. Last thing if you want me to upload some samples now is a good time to ask before my family goes to bed and recording becomes unfeasible.

The problem with doing too many different genres is then the Comiket staff doesn't know where to place you and you get stuck somewhere weird, like deep in West, which judging from the likely quality of our product, might be where we belong.

>>4055401
Have you never heard of investment?
The profit (if any) will be split up between all the original donators based of percentage.
