could i make music for games? im not up to date on computer programs and such, so id say no. but i can play guitar music. if i had the right cohort it would be possible. as for not knowing that about me, ive never mentioned it. ive always just played for myself. a true "closet player" as they call them. i enjoy writing and playing for myself or my girl friend.

lol DDR, CYS style. my Rockstar game is my Ode to creating music. but its more on the business side rather than music side.

Imagine using scripting to like somehow store lyrics so you could actually create songs.  Then having like it decide how good it is or something.  That would be sweet.

years ago i did ponder a song writing kind of game. but couldnt get it to work. but with scripting, variables, and other features.... it might be possible. anyone wanna take on this feat?

nate

Not I but someone like you and Solo teamed up could prolly do it.

Any Musicians out there?

hmmmmmmm this has got me thinking again. lol all it would take is having a list of one line lyrics, scripting to allow building a song, and somehow inputting different drum beats. drum beats cant be copyrighted lol ill have to ponder this a bit more... as well as pondering where deadly sinner is in all this. he created this thread.

Then what you'd do is look at certain lines and which ones go together.  So then the script would recognise if any of the lines go together.  And if the user puts any of these combinations to use then the chemistry goes up.  So when they release it the higher the chemsitry the more teh sales.

htats one direction. but i was just simply thinking, put lyrics together, pick your drum beat, and go karaoke style with it lol. that way you could sing it in front of your friends and they could be the judges.

stay with it deadly, music is a great skill to learn. its got many advantages to it. most practical, others not so much lol

nate

Any Musicians out there?

Well then Solo should learn it lol. He's all about practical :D

Any Musicians out there?

solo would probably make a better producer or composer of music rather than musician itself. no offense intended mind you. just that because he is that kind of mind, creating is more his style.

I hear it helps to be an actual guitarist.

Hi, I'm a muso, and a composer. It was my main class back in my highschool days, played in two school bands and a jazz band. Don't do a lot of it these days though, but I wrote Christian songs that were performed at the church I went to, and choruses that the church sometimes sings during their services, and I recorded two cd's of guitar music at one point for my family to listen to (because they were always telling me I had to record something). 

For many years I was involved with making computer games (that never got completed) and I created the soundtracks and sound effects for them as well, with keyboard, drum machine, electric guitar and bass. However, I don't think the time and effort that goes into that sort of thing is really with me anymore. (Especially when no money is involved, lol). I find I do too many things, and nothing much gets done, so I'm trying to focus on just writing. And painting.

How would music in storygames work though? I know we've seen you can embed music into a page, but will the song end when you go to a new page, or keep going? How does the page know if the music has stopped, and when to play a new song? Would you simply have a looping track for each seperate page, and as long as you stay on that page, one of the songs repeats itself in the background, then when you go to a new page, a new song loads up and loops in the background?

Thats the idea I think.

If I could embed music into storygames I'd probably record something. I play the guitar (acoustic and electric), but I know how to play the drums (properly :P), the bass guitar, some minor stuff on the piano/keyboard.

Did you have a teacher for guitar/have a teacher for guitar Nate? I've been teaching myself, but a few people I know who are incredibly good (like full shredding and everything) get lessons.

II started guitar about five years ago, then I stopped and now I've started again. I got an electric for my birthday, and you can make ANYTHING sound good on an electric, so that's always fun.

Any Musicians out there?

17 years ago
Yeah, that's the stuff. Just put distortion on and nobody can tell what you're playing.

Any Musicians out there?

17 years ago
that's SO true lol

Any Musicians out there?

17 years ago

this is the forum i started and havent really said anything. but yeah, have distortion and it sounds so cool no one would ever know.

Any Musicians out there?

It's a WEIRD sound bra

Any Musicians out there?

Wel yeah, but the first time I played electric (it was Chris's), I hadn't played guitar in ages, And Im just like 'wow, you need no skill whatsoever.... I want one.' I got one eventually, and now you can play as crap as you want and it still kicks ass.
