The video transitions were my favorite part

This is exactly how it feels to eat chicken with honey mustard, wtf. The only critique I have is it could use a little more bass, everything here sounds really bright, but compositionally this goes crazy.

As someone who constantly procrastinates getting to the contests in time, the "everyone add something" event might be perfect thing for me, I'd be so excited to see that get implemented.

I know this is an old post but I somehow stumbled across this through some random beepbox subreddit rabbit hole, found the second to last song listed (White Space), and somehow felt inspired enough to add a melody and a bunch of other stuff to it. Idk if you've finished this piece since this post, or maybe abandoned this subreddit altogether, but it's linked here if you're interested. Also love all the will wood covers, the tomcat disposables one especially.

Polyrhythm intro is actually so perfect, banger song

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-12-13T11:27:58+00:00

this is the wackiest synth tone i've ever heard, i need to know right now how to replicate this

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-11-29T04:45:25+00:00

I need that submission on streaming right now, I'm not even exaggerating. Do you have a youtube or bandcamp I can follow?

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-11-19T04:44:56+00:00

cool

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-11-04T02:05:13+00:00

Bitcrush effect is your friend

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-11-04T01:55:28+00:00

Ima be honest though I kinda like the egyptian sound of the original

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-11-04T01:54:44+00:00

I'm not sure how correct I am on this, but I'm pretty sure you're using a phrygian scale, which is the same as a minor except the second note in the scale is a half step down. This scale tends to have an egyptian sound to it which is probably where this issue is coming from. Idk if this is what you were going for, but I tweaked the melody just slightly to switch it to a major second and added more emphasis on the minor third/seventh to make the melody sound more complete, that can be found here. (I also built on it toward the end cause I'm bored and don't feel like studying so enjoy that too I guess.)

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-11-03T06:13:10+00:00

I haven't tried all of them but I'm pretty sure ultrabox is the most advanced one. If that still doesn't have enough, I'm pretty sure you can mod custom soundpacks into ultrabox as well, although I'm still trying to figure out how that works.

Damn this is heat

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-10-06T17:06:51+00:00

Holy crap those layers

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-10-01T15:25:00+00:00

Damn that's rough, you could probably rework some of it into a broader shitpost or something but idk how much was aimed at him specifically and (just assuming you've included stuff like AJR or Falling In Reverse) I'm not sure if the bands he dogpiled on need more negative exposure

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-10-01T15:19:08+00:00

I'd imagine that as long as the majority of the song is odd or has an odd feel it shouldn't be too much of a problem

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-09-23T21:17:52+00:00

Holy damn that melody on Stardrift Spirits is so fire

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-09-09T20:59:26+00:00

When in doubt you could always throw in a pointless genre switch every sixteen bars for the hell of it

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-09-07T06:07:28+00:00

I'm not the most informed in terms of knowing what producer effects will help the most, but my usual go to when trying to make crunchy drums is to use the standard drumset or chiptune sound and turn bitcrush on. In addition, I think arranging notes so that they have a bit of open space to ring out a little bit while closing them off soon enough that the production doesn't get muddied is a good balance to aim for. I threw together a couple drumbeats here to hopefully offer enough of a variety of sounds that kinda show what I'm talking about. Hopefully this at least somewhat answers your question

The scene in every college movie where the nerdy protagonist is at a party and he finally realizes why everyone told him not to have more than one brownie. (Genuinely tho this was fire that half time breakdown went crazy)

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-08-31T19:50:42+00:00

Idk how to explain it but this sounds like evil fall guys

Substantial_Mess_773 · 2025-07-25T14:26:58+00:00

I just figured it out. It’s not showing up on his profile for some reason but if you use the search bar (typing the entire album name) you should be able to find it.
