MikeJD 0 #1 January 9, 2004 The recent 'Skydiving Painters' thread made me wonder how many dz.commers are musicians, and more specifically how many of you are creating skydiving-inspired tracks. We all like music soundtracks on our jump videos but they're usually lifted from people's CD collections. Lots of times this works great - but some of it's become a bit over-familiar (Tom Petty / Van Halen, anyone?) So is anybody else out there recording and / or using their own stuff?

sid 1 #2 January 9, 2004 I have made some fast-tempo techno music on the pc for use with skydiving videos. I used Mixman Studio X-Pro, Zero-Track creator, and Rebirth One Synth and Drum Machine to make the loops. If you have a decent pc, the software isn't that expensive. www.cafeshops.com/sidspecialties.5396204 the first cd full had a naive charm (read: crap) but I had fun and I've even sold a couple (it is copyright free if anyone wants to use it on videos by the way)Pete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

GARYC24 3 #4 January 9, 2004 I'll probaly will try something someday. But acoustic guitar, mandolin, harmonica might not be "cool" enough! har har Especially instrumental..( I don't sing or write songs) I'm getting a Tascam MKII 4 track recorder next week! "From wings came flight" has some really good music. And one of the songs starts off exactly the same notes as an old Dr. John song..I was gonna make a post regarding that!

Guest #5 January 9, 2004 Created a few tracks using "MTV Music Generator", of all things. They were on mp3.com, but since the cnet buyout of that site, I can't access them.... mh"The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

MikeJD 0 #6 January 9, 2004 Gary, If you're getting a 4-track next week, tell your friends and family to make the most of the next few days. They probably won't see you for a while after that - home recording's a seriously addictive way to eat up the hours! And don't worry about the lyrics - some of the cheesy stuff I've heard on skydiving soundtracks over the years makes a great case for instrumental music!

Darius11 12 #7 January 9, 2004 I have wrote a few songs they are mostly guitar and i don't know if i would use them in a video. They are inspired by skydiving. I do have a few techno songs that i would like to use as soon as i get any video of my self. I use a mix of Acid and live instruments like guitar base and a s-tar.I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." - Kurt Cobain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #13 January 9, 2004 Blahr, your avatar's just inspired me to start working on mine! If any of you other creative dudes want to send me stuff, I'd love to hear it. I guess if you have the technology you could post mp3s to my dropzone.com account - as long as you can make them small enough Copyright absolutely respected, of course. In return I'll subject you to the two or three tracks I have - as long as I can get permission from my vocalist! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
