So... memes.

Made with native LMMS, plus four VST effects, all for mastering. Oh, and also the sound samples from the commercials, obviously.

Tell me what you think!

An Arby's themed remix track?
Wow! I can't believe someone actually made, a commercial snipped mixed track like this
that's actually kinda cool to listen too. And the vocals, go in time with the track.
Good work there. Because working with snipped vocal samples, is not always easy to do.

I don't know what to say,...........but in all honesty, the tune really has a cool vibe to it.
Ya got skillz dude.

The only problem, is that I'm a vegetarian. Ha! Ha!

Okay, some questions:
How long did it take you, to make this track?
And what inspired you, to make this track?

[Douglas]

Whoa, thank you! I didn't realize it was that good! That main instrument is a really good bass I learned to make with ZynAddSubFX. It's a pulse wave with exaggerated Phase Modulation with a modified Guass wave... I'll probably share the instrument on lmms.io/lsp later, but I'm on a different computer right now.

"How long did it take you, to make this track?"

I made it in twelve hours, all in one sitting. I do nothing but compose music all day, so I had the time.

I snipped the vocals using Audacity, it only took about half an hour.

"And what inspired you, to make this track?"

I was listening to Soundcloud when one of those commercials popped up. An evil idea popped into my head.

You know the result.


Honestly, if I was any good with song arrangement, I would be making professional music right now. I'm fantastic with mixing, mastering, and instrument creation, but I'm terrible at everything else. That's why I make so many remixes. Do you have any tips for me?

About the drums, did you synthesize them? or are they samples (from FL Studio?)?

[Douglas]

I can't check right now, but I either got them by layering sounds from LMMS, or I got them from a free sample pack by Cymatics... I can't remember. Cymatics sells their sample packs for hundreds of dollars each, but they did release a few free ones that I happily downloaded. So far, I've spent $0 on music making, and that continues to be my goal. That will be an awesome thing to brag about once I become professional!

The drums sound very good anyway.

So your goal is to become professional? It's cool. From what I've read, you seem to be working hard every day!

Have you ever received feedback from the professional world?

I have received feedback from some decent composers, but not any professional ones. I can tell I'm almost there, though. I can *almost* mix and master professionally, though my song arrangement skills definitely need some work. Just fix those up, and I'll definitely be there!

Perhaps, calling on the services of a particular teacher, a professor of composition to whom you would submit your work, so that it would focus its teaching on your particular needs.

Of course, at that time, you will have to pay for this service, with the advantage of progressing quickly (given your strong involvement in music).

Have you thought about that?

Yeah. Even I was surprised, at how good this tune sounds.
And thanks for taking the time, to answer the questions I asked.
It's interesting how fast you're getting at making music, if even it is a remix of an ad.

When you say, sound arrangement:
Do you mean like you're having problems, making melodies and such?

((Wait, is it sound arrangement and not song arrangement ))

No, I don't know what instruments to have playing where. I never know what instruments to add, but once I know I can fit an excellent-sounding instrument there, which is why my recent collaboration with RWalsh sounded so great, he could arrange everything for me, and then I could throw in the awesomeness and glue it together.

You would think that knowing what instuments to add would be the only trouble I have...

But once I do add an instrument, I don't know what to have it play. And when I do know, I don't know where to have it play!

And with melodies... I can create melodies just fine; the issue is, I can't create more melodies that fit in the same song. Sure, it'll be in the same key, and maybe even the same chord progression, but they never really... fit. The don't work with each other like with other songs, it sounds like I'm starting an entire new song, in the middle of the song.

I guess the way I could word it is: My transitions freaking suck!!! I'm not sure what to do to fix that though. I've been practicing, but unlike with mixing and mastering it seems like practice isn't the only thing required...
