As I suggested in the DQN ELECTRONICS VOL 2010 album thread, let's make our own VIP Quality music release!
Any contribution is welcome, so long as it is VIP Quality, and created for this project. Multiple contributions are obviously welcome too.
Once we have enough tracks, or once everyone has lost interest, and no later than in exactly four months (a deadline will keep us motivated), we will distribute by torrent and direct download.
To contribute music or artwork you can post your work in this thread, or to keep it secret until the day of release, you can send it to dqn.dqn.lol@gmail.com .
We can use this thread to discuss what to do, what title we want to use, plan collaborations, etc.
In case we need a wiki, let's put our stuff here: http://tanasinn.info/wiki/Homegrown_VIPtronic_Album
To prove that I'll be somewhat reliable, I am the guy who packaged Title, who harassed the participants to send in their tracks, and who did the worst songs on it: rest assured that unless nobody participates, something will eventually get released.
Someone suggested we just use "Homegrown VIPtronic Album" as the title. Other ideas?
Also I am available to create a musical accompaniment for other people's quality singing and dramatic reading.
is this just going to be a second iteration of "Title"?
Title was kind of unentertaining
>>3
Title had to follow exactly some pretty boring and unstructured lyrics, it led to horrible filler. There's no such a requirement here so we can do whatever.
Hmm, this would give me a chance to finally mess around making songs. Too bad I know absolutely nothing about making custom VIP tracks.
>>5
Download Audacity, press the record button (red circle) to start recording. Press stop (black square) once done. Export as MP3. VIP ensues.
I'd love to help, but I don't have much musical experience and I don't want to be one of those annoying nerds who puts out "expermental" "noise" music using a pirated copy of Reason and the Wikipedia page on "syncopation."
Maybe I'll just upload a track of me sobbing in pidginized, highly-accented Japanese about how I don't have any talent and nobody loves me because I'm a "hikimori."
>>9
You could do a parody of experimental noise. Record yourself sobbing in pidginized, highly-accented Japanese about how you don't have any talent and nobody loves you because you're a "hikimori", then open it in audacity and add echo and reverb, maybe change the pitch in a few places. And use lots of cheesy wah-wah.
We should call the album COOL FREE RINGTONES.
And we should have some of those on it.
I can't use the last word of the first sentence twice without triggering the spam filter for some reason.
>11
I also like this title.
>>11 I like this as well.
I have no clue what i'm doing but i'm going to try making something anyway.

I thought it'd be a good idea to put my cat on my keyboard and things just went downhill from there.
>>6
I know that much, but I meant about doing COOL VIP REMIXES with custom music, not singing.
I'm not a musician, but I figured "ah what the hell" and ripped an old 12" single and made a cool drum loop from it. But now I don't know what to do with it!i@ίDί)
Speed it up to 300BPM and throw some anime samples over it. You too can be m1dy.
I don't know what I'm going to do for this project yet, but I'm going to do something. Something VIP.
That's the spirit, gents!
I have a few ideas too. One of them involves AM2 games, it doesn't get more VIP than this.
> Is there a deadline for this?
In the first post I gave the figure of 4 months. If you guys insist it be done sooner or later than that of course.
(I just realized that four months after 08-23 means it'll be packaged exactly for christmas.)
Do we expect enough participation to have a limit?
Unless your tracks suck horribly in non-VIP ways, many of them would be welcome.
(Feel free to use different artist names on each to simulate the existence of a grandiose VIP collective.)
Also how about we make a few 10~20 sec. ring tones?
i'm starting this weekend and i'm so excited
I'm gonna screw around in Renoise and hope that I come up with something quality.
I don't plan on submitting anything, but I'll fiddle around with Fruity Loops and Garageband and see what comes up. I have no musical tallent whatsoever.
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?millghkjnno
I have made a ringtone.
Unless you want oldschool MIDI ring tones, in which case I will make one of those instead.
>>28
Is it COOL? Is it FREE?
Maybe we can make it a double release with a COOL FREE RINGTόNES BONUS CD and whatever the VIPtronic part is to be called.
And if you guys don't mind, maybe the ringt◦nes could be stripped of their names (RINGTόNE 1, RINGTόNE 2) to keep the surprise about their contents. Tell me if you mind of course!
>>15
What is the artist name of your cat? Should the track be simply labelled as made by "VIPPER"?
(I feel like we're gonna trigger the anti-spam filters often ITT)
>>29
I had it tagged as "VIPPER and Microsoft Sam feat. A cat"
I think he would prefer to remain anonymous, but for the record, his name is actually Longcat.
Just downloaded Audacity as a portable app, and will be working on something for the VIPtronic album.
>>32
Hey, there was a time when longcat was actually quite VIP. Let's just remember that time. However, if his cat isn't at least 3 years old it can stay anonymous, w.
>>34
He is actually three years old this year. He's not really a long cat anymore though. He was the runt of the litter and we feed him well so he's really a disproportionate cat.
I was going to try and take some samples this weekend but alas I had no time orz
How do I find time to make music VIPPERs?
>>40
A huge green fierce snake bars your way. Frightened, you spill your tea.
>_
I will work on something. No guarantee I will finish, but I have a lot of time to think while I'm in Corea.
Look out for a track by 'BENOIST!!'
>>44
QUALITY Audio to mangle is all around you. Two ideas: http://www.listentoyoutube.com/

let's not do title all over again
Yay, participation!
I've started working on two different songs, one is about tanasinn, and the other about SEGA (and cars); and on 4~8 ringt0nes made mostly of stolen material.
If it's ready for christmas (I'll see what you guys prefer before setting a release date), how about a big run-on title such as: "Homegrown VIPtronic records presents: COOL FREE RINGTONES ~Christmas Special Edition~"?
We could have some VIP christmas carols too.
Composing music for VIPPERs sounds interesting, I may give it a jolly good go!
I can contribute boring and mostly repetitive chiptunes that I've made in Modplug. There's a few VIP Quality ones that I've made too, but they're from when I first started with Modplug, when I actually put effort in; nothing recent, sadly.
Any VIPPER's interested, anyway?
>>52 again. I've started on a new chiptune. Trying my best to make sure it's up to SAoVQ standards for the album.
So yea, add me to list or whatever.
I do believe an introductory track featuring daddycool himself is in order.
Me and my band have decided to do a cover of the Burning Rangers theme song for this compilation. We're going to meet up on the 25th of September to record it and a bunch of other stuff.
It'll be really lo-fi though, all I've got is a Dictaphone to record it on. I hope you guys don't mind.
Actually, scratch that bit about the Dictaphone. I think we'll be able to use my friend's laptop,
You just dethroned the dictaphone. You hit it in its funny bone, after all, thats where it expects it least.
I actually like recording stuff on the dictaphone, but then I like lo-fi music. My friends aren't so much into it.
I think this thread needs a bump.
Sadly I have nothing to post yet. I think I might do a Giorgio Moroder-style Italiadisco track with lots of vocoder and quality synth sounds.
Let's start by including already created music.
http://img.secretareaofvipquality.net/res/3020.html
http://img.secretareaofvipquality.net/res/870.html
http://img.secretareaofvipquality.net/res/1066.html
I have just found out that the library here at this university has a fucking professional quality sound studio that can be used by students.
BRB MAKIN MUSICS
Why not make two versions? Use the Dictaphone and the laptop?
VIPPER-TRONIC... ELECTRONIC
Zlad needs to make more music. Someone should mix Supersonic or Antipope into a VIP Quality track.
Thats not to say Supersonic or Antipope are not already VIP Quality tracks.
I want to kickstart participation in this thing but I can't ;_;
I wish I were not away from my music-making computer for a few more weeks. Without her four powerful cores, her multiple displays, her manly speakers, and her large master keyboard, I feel emasculated. I'd warez Fruity Loops or Mario Paint on my tiny laptop, but it would feel like cheating her with a cheap whore.
>>69
I would be sufficiently content with just switching SUPERSONIK lyric to VIPPER-TRONIK
http://img.secretareaofvipquality.net/res/4918.html#i5077
Never let me near a Kaossilator ever again.
I still can't seem to get a decent track together.
Feckin' lack of inspiration.
Oooooh. I'll make something for this.
I'll go make some VIP-quality splittercore or something.
Probably something better than this:

Fackin' big panic attack.
>>79
Well, it is very COOL. I hope the artist responsible won't mind.
submitted two songs!
I can't wait to see how this turns out.
Well received!
Sorry for being silent and having not posted anything yet, I had an acute case of real life recently ;_;
I'll make sure to post my own contributions (and start organizing other people's!) ASAP.
I think I might work on improving the one with the misleading title. I just listened to it again and it does need work...
Finally finished something!
But it's not music, it's... well, it's an audio adventure.
It will convey 0.033333333333333333333334% of the experience of going inside the tanasinn chamber.
It's pretty long because it's a challenge, which very few will find the need to attempt twice.
http://tindeck.com/listen/odpy
I'll also contribute actual music that don't (intentionally) hurt to listen at, I promise!
But .03% of the tanasinn chamber can kill a man of weak will! I'm not sure I can handle it...
Me and another vipper are planning to do something with shouting in the car whenever it is we can get a means of making a digital recording of the process.
Since the SAOVP thread no longer bumps, I will crosspost here what I wrote, so people won't miss it forcing me to re-encode:
> I am already starting to package the release. Things are looking pretty good, with some secret submissions I received by e-mail!
> May I request that everyone who uploaded a .OGG file for the release make a .MP3 version? You can zip it and upload it here, or send it directly to dqn.dqn.lol on gmail

> I made this (http://img.secretareaofvipquality.net/src/1259153931831.jpg) for the cover art. Hope you guys will like it.
> (from http://img.secretareaofvipquality.net/res/4918.html)
Here is an annoyingly obnoxious bump that merely reiterates that your submissions are needed in MP3 format, please.
ok, ok.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/sp90k1
And here is mine.
I've completed a track! I did it in Renoise, and I was going for a DJ Sharpnel sound. It ended up pretty bass-y, but I like how it turned out. I hope it suits your VIP tastes!
I posted the zipped .mp3 in the SAoVP thread.
>>97
Good work, VIPPER.
Some thoughts, that lead at 1:47 is really loud in contrast to the rest of the track and the kick on the other hand should be mixed louder (mids/highs at least.)
>>98
Thanks very much for your input, I'm very new to making music. I'll do a little revising and post it as soon as I'm able.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/jb84us
Here's two mp3 tracks I posted in that other thread in .ogg format ages ago.
