Fellow musicians (yes, even you, who doesn't think you are a musician), check this idea out:
We've covered a variety of genres (and possibly created some new ones) with the Community Jams up till now. One thing we have not done yet is something more symphonic. But to keep it lively, I was thinking about a us coming up with a theme to an action movie. Sound like a challenge you'd be up for?
Rules for this jam? Other than each person get's 1 machine & 1 effect slot, there aren't any other rules. Let's use the topic thread to discuss things as they come up.
To give you an idea of what I have in mind for our track, listen to these links:

I can try to start....
Call me John Williams...
I'm in for sure! I'd prefer one of the positions a bit more at the beginning, like 4 or 5.
Maybe it would make sense if really only symphonic instruments (samples) are used. That would limit the available machines to the PCM synth and the beatbox, and maybe the vocoder, but would guarantee that the result really is symphonic. What do you think about it?

I think we'll let folks try out what they feel is a good idea, see how it works out, and go from there

I agree... I have lots of whole symphonic Orchestra samples.

Thanks
I will take #9, would be good for me.

I'm working on this but doubt I'll have my part finished until Saturday, as I've got a busy day tomorrow. I'll keep you all posted.
Btw great work on slot 1 MFG!
mindfool
Thanks... It was a bit hard... As 1) I have to imagine the possible melodies over it. 2)Leave room for the leads playing vs all chords. 3) Since it's action try to stay in major chords.
So I was a bit worried how it would play out. I'm glad you guys approve.
I'll grab spot 7
or something.
Here's my slot...

Where did you get those amazing orchestral samples? I'm still searching for good ones...

I think for this jam, once everyone has taken a turn, let's open it up for whoever wants it next can take it, and we'll work on it until we are happy with it.
I can track & link those iterations in the initial post as well.
Sound good?

I'm looking foward to what everyone creates. I really love soundtracks.
Sounds good
It sounds good to me! I asked a friend who started with Caustic lately whether he'd like to participate, as he already created very good classical soundtracks with a different application, but he said he wouldn't be experienced enough for it... How can I convince him to join? ;)
And second question: Does anyone know sites where I can ->legally<- get some usable orchestral samples for free? I didn't find any by now...

Squidfont is free and is in the zip file in this thread. It's the best free symphonic sounds I have found.
Thank you very much! :)

How are you getting on with this K5grind?
mindfool
So, um....k5grind.....you want to do this?

I'm going to give k5grind the benefit of the doubt and assume that he wants to do this, but is unable to for reasons beyond his control.
In the interest of keeping this thing moving, let's move on to Hata.

fyi - k5grind had to step down from this jam and take care of family, so he's been taken off the list.

Sorry for that, but I'll need at least a additional day, as I have a disturbing lack of creative ideas at the moment. If I don't get anything good by then, I'll just pass to the next one.

Oh, I'll just hand over to the next one. I just have no satisfying ideas by now, and I don't want to throw in something boring and uncreative.
Sorry :-(

Hey Alpha, it doesn't have to be perfect. Sometimes the best slots are the less spectacular ones. You could literally just follow one of the other slots to boost a particular melody and that would be a perfectly valid contribution. In fact that's pretty much what I did in the last Community Jam.
mindfool
I agree you can add layer to a sound or you could maybe in parts add in bass string notes to make it more dramatic.
Thank you! I decided to emphasize a few selected parts. However, I'm still not done yet, as I just started with it.

Let's get this train moving. Alpha, got anything yet?
Maybe something by early next week? That would be great.

I've got the problem that I don't have an internet connection by now, as I'm currently moving into a new appartement. During the weekend I should be able to upload my version. I've already got a little bit, but I'll still change things until then of course ;)

So, here's what I've got by now. It's not that much, but at least it's something!
I'm excited where this will go! :)

Haha, perfect timing to check up on this again!
I'll get right to work ;)

Alright, it was sorta quick, but I added some Orchestral background stuff that I sequenced in (Although it is ultimately up to Sky if he/she likes my arrangement) including some Sandstorm that fits surprisingly well into parts of the song!
Enjoy ;)
(I think I left a few unused patterns? If so, Sky can do what he/she wants with them :D)

Hey guys. I'm sorry to tell you all that I can not take part in this collab any longer. A member of my family is gravely ill and I want to spend all the time I can with them. I'm sorry for the sudden news but I did take a listen at what you all have so far. I like where its at and I can't wait to see how you all finish it out. I'll most definitely be doing round 8 though when the time comes around. ;) ~ 1OO°C
or something.
