The Bningham and Rulzez Show

[Adsolution]

Yeah, I'm sorry for taking so long with this, it's really something I need just a bit more timep-er-day to work on. Incidentally, I think I'll have quite a decent amount of time today.

[Shrooblord]

That's nice to hear. Yeah, I've found out from first-hand experience that arranging soundtracks for whatever purpose can be pretty timeconsuming - especially if you can't read notes normally and still have to find a way of transposing certain segments because trumpets are inherently tuned differently!

[Serza5]

I think for fun when the movie's done we should dub it with the real characters voice (E.g. Ads would voice Bningham, I would voice Sersaz etc).

[Adsolution]

Hahah, yes, that would be fun as hell.

If you find that difficult, why don't you just write everything in concert pitch? The only instance in which you wouldn't is if you're actually writing it for a real band/orchestra. Do you write your music with notation sheet music software or fo you use an actual DAW? If it's the latter, I don't think they even have an option to provide alternate tuning. I read music very naturally, but given the fact that you shouldn't actually have to worry about transposing due to conversion methods, I'm a bit confused by your workflow. What is your workflow out of curiosity?

Also, the soundtrack is the easy part. The hard part is what I'm working on graphically for the movie.

[MLII]

Omg yes Milly as Melee that would be fucking amazing o3o

Also I must confess I kind of forgot about this, but it's nice to see you're making progress! <3

Sniff sniff, YOUR A TRAITERRRRRR

Maybe we could try a bonus episode now for the lol?

You could easily play a furfag.

Actually wait, no. Bingham could as she's one of the best voice actors around our forum.

Hey, u didn't listen to my voice yet.

[Rulez]

I'd prefer to recruit someone who is a character on the show. Heho3o.

Well, and that being the case, you can see my difficulty.
I'm going to get someone from the 'Royal Conservatory' in The Hague, which is about as good a music education you'll get, to help me out with it. That's pretty damn sweet and I'm really looking forward to working with a pro like that.

Do you write your music with notation sheet music software or fo you use an actual DAW? If it's the latter, I don't think they even have an option to provide alternate tuning. I read music very naturally, but given the fact that you shouldn't actually have to worry about transposing due to conversion methods, I'm a bit confused by your workflow. What is your workflow out of curiosity?

I did realise that in any other circumstance than the one I'm in now - as in, writing it for an orchestra that requires me to splice up the different tracks so everyone gets to play something fun - my statement makes no sense as I could easily do a CTRL+A to select all and just transpose it up a few notches. So really, the transposing itself isn't really the hard part.
Anyway, the way I create music is a bit hard to describe, since I myself don't even know, really. Usually I'm just walking up the stairs or on the street when I randomly come up with this great tune in my head that I really like and will then use somewhere. I also play about on the piano a lot and get some neat pieces of music from there. But the most creative pieces come from simply working out one of those draft ideas with KOMPLETE, as the sound is so amazing that it aides me in thinking up some more tunes. I added a whole melodic layer of sound to one of my pieces, for example, simply because the trumpets sounded so good that it came naturally as I was fooling around on the keyboard. It's just that much easier to imagine new things when you hear the actual instrument playing something.

Also, Cubase actually does come with a neat 'transpose for this instrument' setting in its Score Editor. However, my version is so old (2006), that it can't even export those notes to anything vaguely readable by any other software, which makes me wonder why you would then even have a Score Editor, except for those people who like to work out tunes based on them instead of the other interface (which is more like the screens you show of your Logic files). So what I end up doing is going through all the notes one by one and then just placing them in a music scoring software to get the notes on paper.

Ah, that sounds rather obtuse. Will you be upgrading to Cubase 7 next month?

Awesome! I was actually raised in the Royal Conservatory of Music over here as well pretty much for as long as I can remember; I'm currently on my final level (ARCT) which will give me my professional (performing/teaching) license, which I'll probably have finished in a year or two. So if you do have any scoring questions, or pretty much any type of musical question off the top of your head, I can definitely help you as well.

[Shrooblord]

It is so much so, in fact, that I've been postponing it for a week now, feeling slightly guilty every time I go to bed knowing that there are people waiting anxiously to get their parts in their mail!
I'm actually not that sure - I've been thinking about upgrading a lot of things. The fact of the matter is that I need a lot of stuff, really. This PC's from 2005 and is starting to show it. My soundcard's wonky. I really want KONTAKT. I could probably do with a newer version of Cubase. All of these things amount to a sum of cash that I wouldn't even want to spend in one go. On top of that, I'll be finishing my secondary school at the end of this schoolyear, so who knows if I'll even be able to take all that with me, depending on where I go to Uni... they're all difficult decisions to make, but I'm sticking with the thought of 'as long as it still works, it's fine'. I'm prioritising KONTAKT right now.

Ooooooh that's cool! But hang on, you're seventeen, right? You're just a bit younger than I am - I know this - and you could already be a teacher? That's pretty neat, alright. I'll be sure to come knocking if I have questions!

[Adsolution]

I really want KONTAKT.

Hold on a sec, so Elements doesn't even come with Kontakt? That is obtuse! How do you even browse through your patches then? With Komplete 8 Ultimate, Kontakt 5 is the default patch browser/editor.

That makes sense. You see, I'm the kind of person who would substitute pretty much anything for equipment/software, so whereas I guess I could give myself the option of saving up like mad to just barely squeeze into a university, I would personally rather opt for a college which would be much cheaper, allowing me to pretty much get all the stuff I'd like.

Then again, I'm not sure how the schooling system works there. Is it closer to the British or American way, or does Dutch-land have its own thing?

I'm already giving some lessons to grade 1-2 piano students for minimum pay ($8/h), so I technically am already teaching, but it really doesn't count for much until I've gotten my ARCT. Then I'll be paid upwards of $30 an hour!

ARCT pieces are incredibly difficult, so it takes months and months to just iron out a single piece, and I have to learn seven. Just for example, this is one beloved piece I'm learning right now:



(Piano comes in at 1:00)

It feels great to be at this point though, there's a real sense of satisfaction knowing it's that worth it in the end.

It does come with some KONTAKT instruments - the VSL instruments (the brass and string ensembles for example) are my favourites. What I meant is that I'd like to get the full KONTAKT sample library, as that's all I really need from the KOMPLETE series (right now): instruments.

Then again, I'm not sure how the schooling system works there. Is it closer to the British or American way, or does Dutch-land have its own thing?

Therein lies a problem for me too: they're changing the way they regulate finances now. It used to be quite cool in that you could get most of your school paid for by the government if you couldn't handle paying it back. And there'd be no severe consequence if you didn't find a job and therefore could not pay them back. However, after the people from my year that graduate and go to Uni, there'll be a new system in which you have to pay for each year and find a way to pay it all back within 20 years. Now that's quite a generous amount of time, but the weird thing is that, if you fail, you have to pay DOUBLE! Now how on Earth can they expect you to be able to pay double the amount of money with no degree in anything? As for the rest, you are entitled to a small student-orientated social security fund, but it's only enough to cover the most basic appartment and food needs. You'll probably need to get a job on the side anyway.


Ah, yes, Rhapsody in Blue. One of my best friends has been playing that for half a year now. It's a wonderful piece - really weird and constantly changing too.

its been a while since i heard of the show,problaby cuz i lost interest on it,well the reason its because i lost interest on dolan comics and videos,although they can be funny,i just got tired of them

the last three minutes seem to be incredibly difficult (especially from 10:00 to 11:30 omagad). And you must master 7 pieces like this one in order to pass your ARCT ?

*Impressed*

Not you again. No one cares about your opinion on Dolan, as B&R is only similar to Dolan because of the basic style. Otherwise it's completely different, even when it comes to the language.
