In terms of OSTs, songs like this have a lot more emotion because they have more time to build up.

I appreciate ballads when they are sung with gravity. Here are some ballads that have feelings in my opinion.

A thread to post and discuss everything about Nightcore.
A bit of a rant to start off but I personally do not like listening to music that takes a song not separating the vocals and instruments and pitch shifts it up by 4 semitones and then calls itself Nightcore when they could also be putting their own imagination to work and change the song dramatically to reflect the theme.
I think a good example to start off with is this Linkin Park - Numb Nightcore https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm10477886 [Play]
At first you think it's the same old quack but as the song progresses you can tell that the author really pulled through and put his own spin on things.
https://files.catbox.moe/2w6izg.mp3 [Play] Here's my own take on Nightcore Rockerfeller Street which I hope doesn't sound too shabby because it's my first time touching a DAW for actual music making purposes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjGZLnja1o8 [Play] The original for comparison.
I used the resources available in Techno Trance Essentials pack which is what most people used to make their songs for beatmania.
I also used https://ultimatevocalremover.com/ to separate the vocals and instruments.
I like Psychedelic Slayer's uploads on Youtube. My favorites are his remixes of the Terminator Theme

I really hope the original files are shared somewhere because I hate ripping Youtube videos for songs.
I think the Hurdy Gurdy is a really interesting instrument. I don't know much about its history but for supposedly being a beggars instrument it's massively complicated. Some of the contemporary compositions that musicians like Guilhem Desq are putting together are just wonderful. Its nature means that you can do a lot of wacky shit with it if you get creative, it's so versatile. Like a medieval synthesizer or something

I would also like to point out musicians like Andrey Vinogradov who do spectacular, but more traditional and simple arrangements.

Thanks for the songs, they are neat. I'll give that album a spin for sure
>Like a medieval synthesizer or something
I think you're slightly fooling yourself; the examples you posted are heavily layered/processed, that's why they sound so cool and varied. This video that got recommended to me after yours is more accurate to my memory of a friend playing it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9kr8vJiPdc [Play]
You have the drone notes, the melody, and by spinning quicker you get a buzzing effect which gets used almost as percussion. It's pretty cool
Aw man i love hurdy gurdy's. They're like bagpipes that sound actually good

Listening to Chaconne now, and it sounds neat. I'll check these out, thanks
Classical music is therapeutic to me. I actually had to use it in therapy for medical reasons and it always helps me focus and when I'm tired, it soothes me to sleep.

Most classical music is rather intense, i dont know what you're listening to man.

This is an online tool for making music. Since I have learned some music theory recently, I like to use this website to try and replicate tunes that I know, or even make original compositions. All of the data in a beepbox song is stored in the URL, so we can easily share our creations right here. For example, here is my attempt at Matoya's Cavern:

I admit, some of the finer details are probably inaccurate in my version. You can do a lot more with beepbox than what I've done here. Some of it requires you to go into the advanced options, but you can make much more complex songs, and there are features for synthesizing your own instruments, as well as pitch bending, dynamics, stereo, and weird time signatures. Give it a try and post what you can come up with!12 replies (and 1 file replies) omitted. Click here to view.

Interesting use of chords. I find it difficult to use those well myself.

Nice! I'm not familiar with the original, but this is well-composed. It takes a good ear to get accompaniment right in a cover.
This time, I've made an original composition instead of a cover. But I'm not that good, so it's a little uninteresting. Here it is:

What do you think I should call it?
By the way, for anyone looking to learn, here is a useful textbook on music theory:
https://mega.nz/file/ucwDDRpY#FWhoTCuB3zJ2Xz72raNc3EmbwxbU7N4jq8aA5bygxtU
Unfortunately, a lot of it is devoted to musical notation, which is rather arbitrary and largely unrelated to the theory, but you can still learn a lot from this book. This website is also helpful:
https://www.musictheory.net/
And this other website lets you practice identifying tones by ear, which is probably the most useful thing you can learn as a beginner:
https://tonedear.com/ear-training/intervals
Of course, I'm a complete amateur regardless. If anyone else has good resources or tips, I'd be glad to see them. Otherwise, I encourage any beginners to see where a bit of study will get you.

you gotta learn notation
Its the tried and true way of writing music for centuries.
>>105
I did learn the notation; I read the entire book. I just find it needlessly complex to write everything in terms of C Major. If you prefer it, that's fine, but it looks like extra steps to me.
I know most techniques just fine i just have a hard time visualizing what key corresponds to what notes on the sheet. Im not intending to play professionally, i just wanna play and hear my favorite solo piano pieces on a real piano whenever i feel like. And to write some pieces of my own for fun.
Shiet intended to put the name as the subject, am retardo
I think it just takes some practice, then it'll be easy. I don't know how applicable it is for the piano, but if you have some way of writing down notes that you understand easily you can annotate your music sheets at first. Also the weird symbol at the beginning of the sheet can help you figure out a reference note
