    Default Musical Collaboration?

    Anybody on this board into composing?

    I'm still looking for some music for my footage. I bought Cakewalk Sonar 6 and MIDI controller to "program" original music, but I haven't had the time to sit down and learn it (I've been sidetracked with learning stop motion animation, learning Sony Vegas, etc.).

    If anyone has any music of theirs that they'd like to share, or knows someone who has some, please let me know.

    After the recent RIAA lawsuit victory, I'm pretty hesitant to use copyrighted material, even on something like Youtube. I'd rather have orginal music anyhow.

    Not exactly what you asked, but moby has made a number of tracks available royalty free for not for profit use by student and indie filmmakers.

    What sort of music are you looking? I compose stuff.

    Not sure if you meant in your original post that you are going to learn Sonar and begin making music but its a little more complex than that, Im not sure if youve done production in the past but its like saying I've bought some golf clubs and will learn to play like Tiger Woods later.

    That's exactly what I meant. : )

    You saying it's difficult or something??

    Tell me more. What kind of software/instruments do you use and what style?

    LOL...I like the way Rikki put it..2 funny!!!

    Threadhanger...what I believe Rikki is trying to say is...have you any production experience anywhere else....using other software or hardware. Are you a musician? If I could help out Rikki's analogy...it would be like walking into a multimillion dollar studio with no experience in composing and putting together a masterpiece in a short period of time. Sure you could get trained on the equipment and eventually learn how to use it like a pro.....but then you got the problem of actually writing/playing/singing. The Sonar software would emulate a recoding studio and its gear...but not the actual talent....that's where you would come in (or someone you know).

    Well I'm not completely green at it. I experimented with MIDI recording way back in the 90's. I've had piano lessons (not that I can play anything above Mary Had a Little Lamb), read quite a few books on song writing, and, quite frankly, have good taste in music.

    On top of this I can whistle and hum. I just figure I could lay something down, copy and paste, and BAM. have a great score.



    Sonar is a bit more advanced than what I should have started out with though. I don't know anything about mixing/mastering and am new to the world of loop editing.


    That's why I'm on here panhandling for musical help.

    I have a large library of music that can be affordable licensed. It is catagorized by themes.

    Hi,

    I compose for orchestra, and it takes pretty long. If now you jump on a serious project with a budget, you can ask me to compose a little something (original theme) for a small price.

    Here you can listen to what I can do :

    Those songs aren't realy mixed, and they start to be a bit old, but you can get the point.
