Perfect music for talking in weird conversations

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvrZJ5C_Nwg This song has a good message but it's solely remembered for the meme

Yeah. I thought the meme was hilarious. Then I listened to the song, and I'm like WHOA

Bro this hit different after going through my first breakup...

man I have listened to that guy in a while

hey, so random q for you guys. I am in a guitar class and we have to right a rap song about a current event. (like gag, but whatever) I think I will try to go for a Andy Mineo vibe just because I can incorporate the guitar that way. Anybody have any ideas for a current event though? I only pay attention to 2A and politics. :/

I can't help with that, but why rap? It has ok story-telling abilities, but rock and country have a greater ability to story-telling

those genres are certainly easier to use imo. plus, rap on guitar?? ik it can be done, but its usually pretty difficult to make it work and considering most of the guys in my class are new to guitar, I really don't understand the logic. :/

thx anyways bro

idk, I might write about my dog and say "he's current"

If you really want to, rap about the election, drop the red pills

nah, its too early in the year, and I am fairly certain most of my class mates are beyond left wing. Some of the kids at this school will literally go out of there way to ruin people's reputation over the dumbest shit. I really don't want to get political. :(

thx tho

maybe if I was closer to grad, I wouldn't care so much, but I still have to live with these guys for another 7 months or so

Good point

Lol, for my english essay I'm going full right wing, I'm not holding anything back, I won't mind cause the few friends I have are all right wing anyways

gl to ya! xD tbf, so am I. I chose abortion because we had to write about social justice issue we feel passionate about. I already don't care about that class though because I accidentally left my mic on and my teacher heard me talking to my mom about how much I hate that class. xD :/

she is a nice teacher though, so we'll see how it goes

wait, does nu-metal count as a genre of rap?

I can easily write a nu-metal piece

I don't even know what that is, give me a sec

"Nu metal is a subgenre of alternative metal that combines elements of heavy metal music with elements of other music genres such as hip hop, alternative rock, funk, industrial, and grunge."

Sounds like it could work

its a weird genre, but ye

here, this is a decent example of the genre

TFK is an awesome band

indeed. TFK and Red are probably the two bands that got me into metal

If u like metal u might like Silverstein

thx

Green Day is good. 👌

Thus far, I have a basic chorus written. The guitar used is a Schechter C1 on an EMG 85, tuned to drop Bb. I am thinking I am going to tune up to C# and re-rec tho. :/

i still dont know how I am going to rap over this tho xD

maybe if you made the beat a little bit quieter so you could hear the guitar a bit more, it would be easier to rap over? it sounds good, but im not sure if its really something to rap over, sounds like a good instrumental break. nicely done dude

ye, idk

i dont really like it

thanks though, I appreciate it

Im think maybe rap leading up the chorus?

but that might sounds weird..

your def right I need to adjust the audio levels though. The guitar sounds faint and is clipping really bad. :/

that little red in the bottom next to master is the visual proof your right

I re-recorded it at a higher tuning. I think it sounds a bit better, but idk. I might scrap this idea. :\

yeah, im not sure, I like singing but im not good with music making or instruments. what you have so far sounds like something a lot more chill. Ill try to give you an idea of what I think might work.

you have the original clip as an intro leading up, then the guitar fades out and you get the beat for an extra second then all silence while you just get one "tsch tsch tsch tsch" then some chill/relaxed rapping goes through with a really light beat, then once you finish the verse your last couple words blend in with the original clip and it goes for a short chorus.

I hope I explained my idea well

oh wow the changes for the second one make it sound completely different. and this might just be a difference in opinion/difference in preference, but I still think the beat could be a little bit quieter to mix with the guitar a little bit more

hmm, ye I like that idea, I think that'll be my next move.
as for the second clip, yes I haven

haven't touched the drums yet*

gotcha. one problem I see is the sound of the drums might get lost in the guitar, the drums might need to contrast the guitar/sound a little bit higher to stand out more. Im no expert, I dont know a lot of the terms, but I guess what Im describing would be HI-top? is that the right word for the sharper/higher sounding cymbals

either way, I like how its coming along. hope I can give you some helpful suggestions and feedback 😄 Im not doing this with the intention of making you change everything to how I like it, just want to make sure you know that

I think the "tsch" sound is a hit-hat, but, tbf, im not an expert either.

no no I know your not

I came here to ask for help

yes! hi-hat. thats what I was trying to think of

I have to leave for work soon, but I should have just enough time to try your idea on the drums.

awesome!!! I hope it ends up sounding somewhat decent lol. if anything, I hope my suggestions give people inspiration to try other things that hadnt thought of

I think I deleted about half the drum track... -_- awesome xD

oh shit

ok i got it back

almost made a very costly mistake there xD

phew. thats good at least. what do you use? are you actually playing the instruments or do you use a program to make music? I would love to make music, but Im terrible at it, havent used a good program, and cant play instruments

I run my electric guitar into the computer via an audio interface. The drums I use are sims though. anyways, I'll send the new audio clip later, but rn I have to leave for work. sorry! thanks again m8

no worries! I got stuff im dealing with off an on too

USAF is so badass.

Is this something along the lines of what your were saying? Its not the final version, as I want to change some of the velocities (how hard the drums are hit in the sim), but I think it is a good starting place. Also, this track just loops for a minute so don't bother to listen to the entire thing! xD

I would only have it play once, so it would not loop like that

idk I think its too fast

found an old set of monitors in my dad's stuff. They actually sound pretty good too xD

@sixfivebyfiftyfive yesss NF is fire

yes, dude he is great. helped me get through an interesting phase of life, to say the least.

I decided to pretty much scrap everything and start over, just cause' I wasn't really vibin with what I initially had. anyways, this is more of an idea at this point, but I feel like it jives a bit better. idk.. it def needs some cleaning up.

A playlist i made of a freind of mine quit good stuff i think https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVkgrgCnLE53CChtyxU6YMEmZmNEZHlST
