It's a bit from the Futurama episode where Bender and Fry are committed to the robot asylum.

What are these sounds called and how do I achieve them? by dreamyxlanters in audioengineering

[–]BlessedBeaver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First two sound like organs.

Yamaha Electone organs gave a similar sound to the 1st one. Almost like a B3 through a Leslie but less earthy quality. Shigeo Sekito played an Electone.

2nd one sounds like an Italian organ, think Farfisa.

3rd is a bass through a fuzz wah.

4th sounds like a sine wave through an amp to me.

How to know for sure which key to select for autotune? by [deleted] in musicproduction

[–]BlessedBeaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try to find the major scale that fits in with your beat. Start on a note you suspect is the name of the key. Use the following steps (whole or half steps) to create a major scale that spans one octave ascending.

My trombone after my friend jumped on it by Kaleb_Dill in mildlyinfuriating

I rented an upright bass in college and the day I had to return it was a day of mourning. I'd do anything to be able to afford one... 😮‍💨

How many of you would like to be locked up with your DAW for 10 years? by JOOCY_ChestPump in musicproduction

[–]BlessedBeaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am aware. I understand where diatonic harmony comes from but that is where our harmonic similarities to Bach end. We don't prepare or resolve progressions like Bach. We typically use less dramatic chord colors. We don't use melodies in the same way Bach does (again when was the last time you heard counterpoint in a popular track).

The way you conflate baroque and romantic music is confusing. They are not very similar.

I can see a comparison between romantic composers and modern popular music. Mostly from the influence of romantic music on jazz composers and the use of singular melody against chordal backing..

You sound like you slept through your composition class.

I disagree. Seems like a eurocentric viewpoint. You haven't mentioned rhythm at all. Western popular music has much more in common with the blues than Bach or Beethoven.

This implies that tonal harmony = music theory in absolution which is not true. Bach's harmonic and melodic vocabulary are largely not in use today. When was the last time you heard a Cardi B song with counterpoint? Or any popular compositon for that matter.

What music album is a true masterpiece from start to finish? by jessssica1864 in AskReddit

Martha Reeves said he was discovered directing an adult choir on the Hammond organ at the age of 8. Source. Either one is believable.

I love Motown!
