Anyone here create their own music? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

mortius · 08-04-2003, 02:51 PM

If so, what type and what gear do you use?

Do you read any web sites that are music related? If so, which?

dunkelhelmut · 08-04-2003, 06:29 PM

Yes

I use actual guitars (bass, electric, acoustic) to create rhythms. I'm still looking for a good drum machine for the PC though.

My main music site is http://www.harmony-central.com, which has an extensive set of forums with people who write and appreciate music (mainly guitars)

mantra · 08-04-2003, 07:44 PM

I play bass in a band.
http://www.bassically.net, i go there allot..

CAN_skate · 08-05-2003, 07:43 PM

I tried to make stuff with computer programs once, but it was lame and I'm not too into electronic music.

Now I'm playing guitar for a month or two and it's fun to fuck around with.

more fire · 08-05-2003, 08:20 PM

I use reason and logic platinum to make music, it's all samples as I don't play any instrument.

xxmsaxx · 08-05-2003, 08:22 PM

I have sang with a few bands and play my axe like a crack head. I have a Gibson Epiphone Sg special, and just today I bought a Shure Sm58 Mic. I tend to play heavy music like acid bath and Dog Fashion Disco and sing just about anything I can sound good singing. I like all music except country, and thats just cause I was raised on it all my life. Cant say I go to many music sites, but I do buy most my gear thru musicians friend.

mpedrummer2 · 08-05-2003, 11:02 PM

I have a degree in Music Production and Engineering from the Berklee College of Music...I work at a studio and use a Sony DMX-R100 and Nuendo on a DAW I built myself, plus a lot of other crap, to make my own music, and to help others make theirs.

Acme-143 · 08-05-2003, 11:21 PM

I use elecrtic guitars (Jackson DKGMT and A Epiphone SG special) and run those through a Korg "Pandora's Box". Other than that I mainly play live.

zfleebin · 08-05-2003, 11:32 PM

I make trance, house, and breakbeats using a roland jp8000, roland mc505, emu xl7, and my turntables going into a delta 44 souncardcard and mixed on ntracks. I use rebirth a little but havent put it into any of my real tracks. I am currently working on getting flamenco into my music but I havent had that much fun merging the palos with dance music.

zenmaster10665 · 08-06-2003, 01:56 AM

Zoom PS-02, Tascam 4trac PortaStudio 02 sometimes, Cool Edit Pro, Takamine Acoustic...my bass, keyboard and electric are all in storage right now as I am overseas

eris · 08-06-2003, 02:49 AM

I play guitar & bass through a Line6 AX2. I also use ACID to loop drums down to a Korg digital 16 track. I also like Hammerhead for sequencing beats too.

Lately I've been trying to record decent drum sounds live - but its proving much harder than I orginally thought.

I'll keep at it and see...

aedenji · 08-07-2003, 09:04 PM

I play in a band called CellFlight
www.cellflight.com
we use actual equipment.

Spektr · 08-07-2003, 09:21 PM

Outside of my guitar, I make techno with Acid 3.0, Cool Edit Pro and Fruity Loops

mortius · 08-07-2003, 09:28 PM

Spektr, do you have any mp3's? I work mainly on trance music. I'll have a listen if you have any.

mortius · 08-07-2003, 09:33 PM

If any of you guys want your music reviewed just let me know. Drop me a email mortius@music-addiction.com

denton · 08-08-2003, 06:45 AM

I play guitar and mess around with Sonar XL alot, I can't really sing so that limits what I can do! I like making weird Al type parodies of songs, using friends and co-workers as the subject:

Dang · 08-08-2003, 07:50 AM

I produce and rap for a group www.ostrichhead.com

I use Nuendo for sequencing and recording on a custom PC with a M-audio 24/96 and a Delta 66

Check our site out and listen to the free tunes.

zfleebin · 08-08-2003, 12:15 PM

Aedenji: can you be more specific I am not sure of many fake equipment setups.

vermin · 08-08-2003, 05:07 PM

I have an Alesis drum machine and a Fostex 4 track recorder. Bought 'em in '92. I've also used a Casio keyboard's rhythm presets for drum tracks. Usually do the drums first, then rhythm guitar then lead, then extra added weird noises such as keyboard set to harmonica or oboe or flute or something not-metal.
The only weird thing is that whenever I try to write a really heavy hard rock/metal thing it ends up sounding like country/western or folk or something. Anything but metal.
It's actually easier for me to work with others, when it comes to music, than to try to come up with everything myself. When I do it all it sounds dry and boring, but when I've worked together with others' it actually ends up sounding like music.

If anyone has any ideas on how to take music currently on cassettes and make them into computer files, feel free to pm me.

mortius · 08-08-2003, 06:08 PM

All you really need to do is take an input from your tape deck into the PC aux slot. You can then download (for free) goldwave or something like goldwave (http://www.goldwave.com/release.html). After that you just need to use goldwave to record the input from your tape deck.

If you need help, just let us know and we will help you out.

Spektr · 08-08-2003, 06:32 PM

Mortius, music-addiction is a kickass site. It's right up my alley. I'm getting ready to move into my dorm, so I have to reformat most of my music to fit on a lap top, so I'll post some of my stuff as soon as I can.

mortius · 08-08-2003, 08:46 PM

Spektr, thanks for the comments. It's a site I'm just trying to get up and running for people that love music.

It's very new and I'm still fixing it up so stick with us, it will get better.

Submit information to the site, content is what we lack

Varese · 08-08-2003, 09:31 PM

I make rock and metal and stuff. I play everything but drums - they are synchronized via samplers.

here is a link:

www.mp3.com/spoo

listen to Mono Diabolus. its so raaaaw

h2ogo69 · 08-10-2003, 10:47 PM

i just started a new band... my last band broek up.... creative differences

fuzzix · 08-11-2003, 05:04 PM

I sequence with Renoise, pumped full of VSTis and do post production with CE Pro 2. I write mainly in the ambient/experimental genres.

aedenji · 08-11-2003, 06:01 PM

zfleebin, I meant actual guitars and drums

very tough...

just tryin' to pull that off myself.

me and the brother in-law have recorded in every room of my house to get a decent drum sound so we can run it through the pc and sample them off.

it's been a brutal experiment.....

thinkin' of renting a hall.

good luck

omnigod · 08-13-2003, 08:55 PM

Im a percussionist.

Recording good drum sounds is tuff if your using a computer mic, I get *decent* recordings from my computer mic that i bought at wal mart, it shouldnt be hard to get high quality drum sounds with a set of *real* mics.

www.musiciansfriend.com is your friend

If those mics dont work, return them and go to a studio.

Motorbreath · 08-14-2003, 12:01 AM

i play guitar and bass. i wish i was in a band...
