Look what I made! / Study For Strings -- Different versions

« on: June 10, 2007, 21:31:56 »

I posted the "chip" version of this about a week ago, and the reviewer (thanks for listening) suggested using better quality samples.  In fact, the original was done with commercial string samples, which I wasn't really comfortable posting in a mod.  The Mp3 using the good samples is here:

If you like late-romantic style music -- Bruckner, Mahler, etc. -- you might like it, and I'd love to hear any comments.  (The mp3 version sounds the best, but is 8.5mb.)

There are two impulse tracker versions.  The chip version (27kb) is here:

Another impulse tracker version (3.5mb), using self-made mellotron-like samples is here:

The reason for the chip version was to get a small file size and experiment a little with single cycle samples.  They are made from the university of iowa classical collection.

If you listen, thank you.  If you have a moment to let me know what you think, thank you even more.

I liked this one a lot -- better than Grinimal.  What did you use for the 303 sound?

Is this whole song tracked?  Or did you track certain parts and play guitar over it?

If it's completely tracked, hats off to you on the realism front.  If not, then the guitar playing is pretty cool.

Anyway, nice fun stuff.

Nice chip tune -- I particularly liked the pitch slide effects.  Let us know when you make some more.

Very cool.  You have a great feel for use of effects and sound engineering.  Your music always sounds very polished.

Personally, I liked Unreal Scene better.  Grinimal doesn't have much in the way of development from a musical standpoint.  However, that's probably not the point of the piece -- it would make a good dance track or a background track for a game or show, etc.

Anyway, I see I'm not the only one haunting both the Modarchive and Modplug forums.

Comment posted -- 9/10 rating.  I got the xmplay plugin (from the xmplay website) and put all of the ahx files on a playlist.  These are really good -- I mean it.  A great example of what I understand to be the "chiptune" model.

I'm listening now.  I couldn't get the XM Play plug-in download (the link didn't work right), so I'm listening from your site.

Anyway, very cool.  You obviously have a solid grounding on the music theory front and make great use of the old-time tracker effects.  (Not that I'd really understand the Amiga music stuff -- I'm old enough to remember Amigas and TRS-80s etc. when they first came out, but only a recent tracker.)

This is fun stuff to listen to, and I particularly enjoy it when people focus on writing the music first and then using technology second -- if that makes sense.  Hopefully, you'll get more feedback.  One of the problems with the internet is that everyone wants to be listened to, and few want to be listeners.  I'm new to the Modarchive forums, but on other forums I try to post comments on music I like, and I'll try to do that here.  It's frankly just hard to keep up with all the new stuff sometimes.

I certainly do appreciate your work on Modarchive, and I've gotten my share of stuff from Waveworld.  I left my torrent open for a while for the Waveworld downloads -- hopefully it was long enough to avoid being one of those evil "leechers."

OK, I just heard "Pie Pierced Ears" -- that's awesome!  Right up my alley.

Tracking / Copyrights on samples

« on: June 01, 2007, 15:27:26 »

Since this wasn't clarified:

Are the samples in Waveworld public domain?

Can I use them for anything?

Thanks very much -- it's a great collection and this site is fantastic.
