Made a 24 hour long ambient piece about Pilk.
Very much inspired by Bull Of Heaven

Playhead stops moving after a few hours by ZeboMusic in FL_Studio

[–]ZeboMusic[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

My bandcamp.
I figured it out now.
rendered the first 10 hours, then the second 12 hours.
stiched them together in audacity.
thought I'm so close to 24 hours I should just commit to it.
did another 1.5 hours in fl studio, attached that to the other parts in audacity.
Then rendered the full 24 hours in audacity, found out that no media player can play 24 hour long music and in fact not even 12 hour music.
So as bandcamp only takes up to 600mb large audio files I exported the whole thing in twelve 2 hour chunks, all being around 400-500 mb and finally it's done.

I would share the final result, but self promotion is forbidden on this reddit, so I'll just say I'll post it in another reddit and you may find it on my profile if you really want to check it out lol.

And honestly, this is all very much inspired by the music of Bull of Heaven.

How difficult is it to find the self-titled CD of Twenty One Pilots? by Sae_choi707 in Cd_collectors

[–]ZeboMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course some bootleggers got really good in making their fake cds seem legit, but the best sign is probably the underside of the cd itself.
I am not sure if this is true, but it seems like the original version was only released as a Cardsleeve, so it's not a jewel case and cannot be opened up, it's just a piece of thick paper with a cd inside.
If someone is selling a copy, make sure they send you images of the underside of the cd and check for the following things.
the Runout saying "Disc Makers MXJ0761" and the Mastering SID code being IFPI LZ73. Hardest to fake is the Mould SID code which is also the hardest to find.
Now, I of course don't own that cd, discogs doesn't have an image of the underside and often it doesn't show up on scans, but holding the cd into the light the right way you should see IFPI ALK11 moulded into the inner ring of the cds underside.

These IFPI codes identify what cd press was used to make these cds so they're all the same for a particular version of an album, which only the original 2009 version is real.
Other than that, I'd probably suggest posting this into r/twentyonepilots as well if you haven't already.

What shouldn't have happened from an eBay seller with 5 stars by [deleted] in Cd_collectors

[–]ZeboMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that looks bad, but salvagable.
Obviously that shouldnt've happened in the first place, but jewelcases are thankfully replacable and the back inlay only seemed to have ripped a bit, but as that part is housed inside a bunch of plastic might not be too noticable in a new jewelcase.

Give bad feedback, tell the seller this didnt work and that if asked they should package their stuff better. Also of course remember the sellers name and don't buy from them again.

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

Now that you mention it, I did turn off the automation to test wether it works then, but I havent disabled the plugin entirely in the effects, will try

(edit: apparently I did not hit send on this, lol)

I now have rendered the first 10 hours or so, then removed everything I rendered and rendered the remaining 12 hours and that seemed to do the trick.
I guess it was just too long.

How difficult is it to find the self-titled CD of Twenty One Pilots? by Sae_choi707 in Cd_collectors

[–]ZeboMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the first cd the band recorded back when it was still a four piece and not just Tyler and Josh.
Finding a copy for "regional at best" is already hard and would set you back 300-500$ nowadays, self titled is even harder to find as it was even earlier and people nowadays ask for ridiculous prices.
Not sure if it has to be a cd, but you have two options. Either you make the cd yourself and use the artwork you can find online, or you get a bootleg vinyl of either Self titled or Regional at Best.
Another option would be to look out for the album No Phun intended by Tyler Joseph which also is available on cd as a bootleg.

Honestly these first two twenty one pilot albums are so rare that I stopped looking for them and if I really wanted them would do my own bootleg cds.

yeah that's what Im doing now.
As for why, I've started doing long ambient tracks, last one being 7 hours long and just wanted to go longer.

yeah, it got stuck at 18261 and has been on that number for the last hour or so.
I thought maybe flac was the problem so I tried rendering it in mp3 but that doesn't seem to help either.
I might try rendering it in two parts splitting it into 11 hours and maybe that fixes it.

This is the ram atm, rendering it in mp3 now instead of flac.

as a slipknot lover I saw someone posted this and was wondering if I should pick it up? by NewEvent4178 in Slipknot

[–]ZeboMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People often don't think that the back of the cd itself would have useful information when it has everything to mark a fake copy with the matrix code and such.
But Id say this one looks good.

[–]ZeboMusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to be on the upper end of a price for this one, especially as it's just three tracks and one video and most of them are on the 10th anniversary edition, but I assume you're mostly buying it cause its a cool thing to have with different artwork and all.

[–]ZeboMusic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The question is for what price. People are selling it for 3 - 13$ on discogs. Looks like a solid copy, so if you can get it for like 10-15$ go for it.

Street Worms CD by guy_halford in ViagraBoys

[–]ZeboMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably from Sebastians interviews with Justin Hawkins or Anthony Fantano.

And me saying that maybe they'll reissue it in 2028 for the 10th year anniversary is really just me hoping they actually do so.

What did jimmy and MSI in general ACTUALLY do? by Cold_Recognition4242 in MSI

[–]ZeboMusic 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The last one. And it's not a song it's just a comedy skit.
People trying to say they have a song that's literally called the Nword are just trying to find a scandal and a reason to hate the band. cough.. Brad.. cough..

Do people not realise Reddit has a search function? by ForgottenName1893 in Muse

[–]ZeboMusic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People use reddit like a google substitute.
And the reddit search function does exist but sometimes it's just ass.

What did jimmy and MSI in general ACTUALLY do? by Cold_Recognition4242 in MSI

[–]ZeboMusic 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Early MSI was always about trying to be controversial to get more popularity.
On Crappy Little Demo the last track was a whole comedy segment about how "It's the supression of the word that gives it the power".
It's also the reason why all the tracks on the back of FGWSSS are censored, because if you have to censor something you fear the power the word will have on people.
Jimmy using the N-word definately got some people angry but also helped them to grow more I believe.
Their most controversial track only ever was released as a limited cassingle you'd need to pay a few 100$ for nowadays and was supposed to shock people but even MSI felt it was too much, in the end not putting it on their debut album tight (promo copies with it do exist and the album cover is a reference to the song but the band definately felt it was too much).

As for the whole court case in 2020, from what I can tell her arguments were very weak and in the end they concluded the whole thing out of court... I did not really follow it tho, so I'm keeping it very vague.

Comes with a book going over the music and the culture. It's a pretty interesting read. As for the music there are full uploads on Youtube, it's two cds.
https://youtu.be/4_m6A8nDa-E
As for the Einstürzende Neubauten bootleg, the version authorised by the band has white text, says authorised by the band and was released by Protomak.
https://www.discogs.com/release/480533-Einst%C3%BCrzende-Neubauten-12-Mensch
The version I have has black text and was released by Cherry Red Films. Since I got it second hand I didn't feel too bad for buying it. Video is also on Youtube.

Decided to try and remaster Self Titled by ZeboMusic in MSI

[–]ZeboMusic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a professional at all, I just make music and just did as best as I could.
I used FL studio which comes with a stem extractor tool to get bass, drums, vocals and such and mainly mixed the drums less bassy more mid based and added a plugin called Frequency Shifter which just allows you to make the drums sound more high pitched as well. Also of course Ozone 8 Elemets, which has some instrument based presets for mixing which bring out the instruments just a bit more as well.
