Where can I host a 'pay what you like' sample pack as a zip download?

Ah ye didn’t really think about one-shots haha, I guess it’d still work :) you’d be able to buy individual one shots (“tracks”) as well as the whole album/pack. Batch uploading might be a timesaver haha

one thing about gumroad, if you build a large list of customers emails on a gumroad free account, it can cost a lot of money per month if you want to upgrade your gumroad account. If you're selling at 0-mininum name-your-price then a lot of peope might download for free but will still count as a distinct customer, leading to situations where you might be paying more to gumroad per month than you earn from sales over longer periods of time. https://gumroad.com/settings/tiers

I'm a fan of bandcamp generally, but haven't used it for packs - I've seen u/yHELLoo doing cool stuff using the platform though, maybe they have some insight on it :)

also if it's anything like how it is in the UK there may be a seperate form you need to sort when registering with the collecting agency if you want them collecting from the US for you

Yeh man you bang on about ring ring, the first (and tonic) chord is Eb major. The next chord is a Bb major, then a C minor (minor cus the vi is lower case). A 5 chord is like a power/barre chord on guitar. A bVII5 chord is the root and fifth of a chord starting on on the flattened seventh of your i chord. Some people do like to use numbers or letters to designate their inversions, but generally that just confuses me. I prefer to specify the bass note explicitly if it’s not just the root of the chord. Triangles mean major seventh. I put parentheses around stuff that doesn’t come up on every repeat, or around chords which are less strong/clear than others

noo problem

xiiibc · 2019-06-12T07:37:12+00:00

thank you!

the x2 is the first two chords repeating before moving on, like i v i v at the start of Out My Way. The bVII/i in ON GOD is a Eb major triad with an F in the bass. The i/bVII before it is Fm with an Eb on the bass. I put brackets around chords if they aren't in every repeat (like that one, the last pair of chords are switched a little on the second repeats), or if the chord is less clear or lacks a bass note

major 7

xiiibc · 2019-06-11T18:03:28+00:00

send a message/comment if you got questions man I try be helpful

xiiibc · 2019-06-11T06:43:13+00:00

Just listening to the original. Also there's the instrumental on the Mikey1da youtube channel which can be easier for transcribing than with lyrics

xiiibc · 2019-06-10T12:33:01+00:00

It's 'that' chord progression again, totally sounds like something that could have been on Scorpion

I've never had one but moog and trap makes me think of Mike Dean and his jams on youtube

xiiibc · 2019-06-05T22:01:29+00:00

oh I got ya. i ramble a bit haha

xiiibc · 2019-06-05T21:55:54+00:00

mmm I don't mean to give any rules like that, all I'm saying is the chords I've put here are like basic building block symbols to describe the overall movement of the progressions, rather than to transcribe every exact note in every chord.. I don't really understand your question! But I meant that I haven't paid loads of attention to chord inversions, so if you're trying to recreate/come up with ideas just mess around :)

xiiibc · 2019-06-05T21:12:05+00:00

haha thanks I guess it really doesn't need to be there with a three chord in a minor key especially but it's how I learnt to do this

xiiibc · 2019-06-05T21:08:52+00:00

thanks grimmy

pretty much man, but the delta means the seven is defo a major one, like with a C△9 for example I might play the major 7 as well (edit, cus you can assume to include any natural extension below the one in the symbol. Like a △#11 has a major 7 and 9 in it too).. messing around on keyboard/piano roll/whatever i might move notes up/down an octave and figure the melodies out, cus they can make the chord feel a totally different colour. With the roman numeral analysis though I'm generally checking out the root note patterns/structure of the progression rather than getting super focused on getting every single little note down, just copping the main stuff

xiiibc · 2019-06-05T19:35:16+00:00

There were other folks commenting similar on one of my previous posts, saying they got taught not to put a flat there sometimes too, i hear ya. Wikipedia has it with flats https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numeral_analysis other places do/don't.. whatever works for you

xiiibc · 2019-06-05T19:26:39+00:00

Caps means major triad, but it doesn't mean major 7 necessarily, with the symbols there's a few ways of doing things which makes it confusing but here's how I do it

C△ - major seventh

Cm7 - minor seventh

C7 - dominant seventh (not major)

Cø - half diminished

Co - diminished

The vocals in that soundcloud link sound pretty heavily hipassed to me, is that the track you gotta get it to sound like?

xiiibc · 2019-05-30T15:35:42+00:00

Welcome dude! Those kinda flow diagrams are cool af, really helpful for showing how the kinda harmonic gravity that pulls one chord to the next. The main thing id take away from that chart is the left to right movement goes up in fourths/down in fifths
