x49ersblitzkreig Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) I'm just curious as I'm making beats right now because of a promised album that I've promised I will release on Saturday. Edit: Would this technically go into the media topics? Edited February 28 by x49ersblitzkreig Question added 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent months on Final Fantasy VI but is never enough... never good enough. When you say making beats, how? What program, do you have pre-set shit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I respect the Final Fantasy VI grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started about a year ago for fun but recently picked back up on it in December. It does tell me the -db on the individual tracks. Is there a way to track the final -db or did the sites you use tell you? 2 minutes ago, x49ersblitzkreig said: Sorry for the late response.

Does that seem right? Edited February 28 by x49ersblitzkreig Question added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Appleby Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I don't make albums or anything, but if there's a new song that I'm trying to learn, I'll play it on my piano for a few hours straight until I can get through it with minimal mistakes. The longest I ever took to learn a song was probably 3 months by playing a few minutes each day. But that's mainly because sheet music didn't exist for the song I wanted to learn and I have trouble learning things by ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to learn the ukulele for a while but ADHD keeps getting me lol. What song were you learning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnIvIIIrsum Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I might be odd but i rather take a Commodore 64 whatever BLIP sound and try to make that BLIP into a snare. It seems so boring to just click here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to the song nonstop on YT plus hearing remixes from other people to try and get it to sound perfect! Eventually I got a good ragtime version going and I play it all the time now! Just last Sunday I was performing some songs at a local pub and that one song is the crowd favourite so I always finish my set with that song! I have a link to my YT in my Sig in case you'd like to check out any of them! Haven't posted anything for about half a year but I'm still playing every day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems so boring to just click here and there. I've been looking for better (free) sites to produce beats but for now, clicking here and there is what's getting me through. I'm doing all my work on a school computer because my mom doesn't want me to have a phone and computer so my resources are very limited. She knows about what I'm doing though and is cool with it. If this confuses you then I'm sorry. I feel tired. It isn't odd to do what you stated. 4 minutes ago, Jerry_Appleby said: It was the main theme from Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Astray404 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 rn using Korg Gadget and FL Studio to make songs and do some jamming. The shortest time was about 1-2 hrs, but the longest would take 2-3 weeks to refine and polish (and distribute). I've posted some of my works on my YT channel, feel free to listen and comment~ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helyx Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Some compositions took a few hours, while some never felt finished after months of tweaks. I did some singles here and there on old FL but I mostly worked with Cubase. Nothing survived that I know of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
