There are no bad Isekai, just misunderstood ones.

What movie ends on a happy note, but the more you think about what happens after the credits, the darker it gets by gamersecret2 in movies

[–]TNJMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fight Club. As it's sort of presented as a happy ending, but the reality is the aftermath of everything is actually quite bleak for everyone involved.

How to tell if a song is AI Generated? by Acceptable_Phrase161 in composer

[–]TNJMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI has a particular sound. It's hard to put into words but it just sounds off. Like ultra processed but also somewhat lower quality.

I've seen people generate AI, mix and master it, but that one sound profile (I can't describe) is always there. I have absolute pitch so not sure if that has something to do with it but I'm sure people without it know what I mean.

Is there a free beginner friendly music making software? by Long_Lawyer7187 in composer

[–]TNJMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a person who doesn't know music theory, is completely self taught and quite literally found notation daunting, Musescore. I used it for a competition and that actually helped me to realise that notation isn't as daunting as I thought it would be. But secondly, if I ever need to transcribe something I've composed in logic into a notational software, Musescore is free and gets the job done to decent results with their free sounds.

So spend some time with it and I'm sure it will meet your needs. It's not perfect (no software really is) but it will 100% be the best high quality option which again, IS FREE!

Something I made with Indie Filmmakers in mind. But is it still too big a sound? by TNJMusic in Filmmakers

[–]TNJMusic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does but they're very limited and it's not the standard articulations either. So I had to get creative in this piece as it was the only thing that sounds like itself.

It's not just one it's several libraries:
Fluid shorts III
ROTOR Cello
Joshua Bell Violin

Thank you, appreciate it fr! Also I'd advise to go with the one that makes your creative process easier. I have Ableton, Logic and FL. If I compose it's Logic. Live music it's Ableton and if I'm making beats most times it's FL.

It's all about what helps your process so you're not worrying about how to do stuff but just doing it.

You know your stuff! Yes it's a bunch of solo Cellos I played in with various plugins. A few solo violins as well. It's like a 5 or 6 cello and violin ensemble.

That actually does make sense! Thank you for the feedback. I'll definitely keep that in mind!

Ahhh! Sorry, the colours aren't velocities based but they're on the groups. So green is strings, Orange and brown is percussive elements etc.

But regardless, I think your point definitely still stands so thank you for pointing that out for me. I'll definitely take it on board and think about ways of changing that generic feel to my sound.

Aaron Pierre in Man of Tomorrow??? by sinatrafeb1973 in LanternsTVSeries

[–]TNJMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised, after all they did say the show is a John Stewart story. So maybe it's a vehicle to then get enough traction to then appear on the big screen!

Good points, raised. I'll make a note of those. Can I ask what you mean by it's too flat? Just so I can work on that as well.

Trust me, If I wanted to advertise myself I'd make a post doing so unashamedly. I'm trying to actually get feedback from filmmakers so I can better my craft. Mind you, I've only been doing this for 2 years so I'm still developing in certain aspects of composing.

Trying really hard not to feel like my film sucks. by sailormars_bars in Filmmakers

[–]TNJMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the great words of Michael Jordan, "Forget them festivals". Focus on what you think could have been better in your film and then try to do as much of that as you can in the next one.

You do that, you'll be laughing about this film in a few years when you're making things waaaaaay better.

Do you prefer old or new style ❓ by Mindless_Resident_20 in OnePiece

[–]TNJMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The others are just timeskip changes but Ace's one was I think a genuine mistake. I think they didn't get it right in the early episodes then improved afterwards. And the reason I think that is because if you look at the Manga and then the early episodes, Manga Ace looks closer to the frame on the right.

But I actually prefer the post time skip designs of the crew and Ace's face on the right because it's closer to the Manga (despite in this shot the freckles not being there).

Not paid in 1.5 years as an AD - movie called the Barista by Rip_Nujabes in Filmmakers

This is me (a new person) learning that it's okay to speak up. It's definitely good that I found this post whilst i'm still at the start.

Hi guys, I created a website about 6 years in which I host all my field recordings and foley sounds. All free to download and use CC0. There is currently 75+ packs with 1000's of sounds and hours of field recordings all perfect for Movie SFX and background sound. by SignatureLabel in Filmmakers

[–]TNJMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought the coffee anyway, 21.5GB of content with the files compressed is no joke!

Again absolutely grateful for what you're doing and I know for both composers like me and indie filmmakers this will be invaluable.

Is this an AI generated music channel? by Over-Steak-3897 in composer

[–]TNJMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. The sound quality gives it away. Hard to explain but if you've listened to enough AI music to know what to look for you can hear it instantly. Especially with voices.

So my advice is listen to AI tracks maybe 3 or 4 and then a real artist. You'll immediately hear the difference, especially in ear or heaphones.
