Driver Madness

Heck of a name, right?

Anyway, bb and I discussed some promotion ideas on Facebook last Sunday and eventually, I PMed him on Driver Madness with this new idea I got: a funk track featuring sounds from the game, and some dude at the end who says over-dramatically "Driver Madness: the source for all your Driver series needs". My plan currently is to later pair it and sync it with a video after it's done (haven't even started). It will cost a dollar for each of us (cept me and bb trolololol) and anyone else who wants it. It will take a bit to make since quite some thought has to be put in and I have to go study a bunch of keyboard scales and stuff that I really should've studied earlier, but am stuck with now. So far, instruments I plan on including are an electric organ, a Moog bass (top of the line synth that's been producsed since the 60's), a brass section, drums, and sound FX from the games. So far, my practicing on the pentatonic scales (which I plan on basing most of it on) is going really well.

If any of you want to help, you can do so by uploading various sound effects, voice clips, etc. from the game and sending it to me. It'd be greatly appreciated and credit will be given.

Get some kudos:

Thanks! The first and second are more what I'm going for, with the first really what I want. Anyway, send some sounds!

Seriously guys, send some sounds from the games to me, please.

Here you are, Will - download link for Sounds subfolder from Audio Folder - click here. Let me know if you want teh vocals and dialogs

Thanks! And yes, vocals and dialogue would be greatly appreciated.

I`m giving you the whole folder then - Link

Thanks!

Ok, no more organ because last night I discovered that clavinets > organs

Working on sheet music now. It's starting to form together from the bottom, but I still need that last audio clip of someone recording someone saying 'Driver Madness: the best source of your Driver needs"

would do it if i had a mic.

This thing's probably not gonna be out till late March. Advertising, and the track's still in early stages. It'll proabably be done before March, though. Sorry for the delay, but I've got to both write and transpose this bugger.

Ok, I got my funk keyboarding book. I'm gonna study the darned thing at school and practice after I get home, and repeat for Friday, and the entire weekend.

Ok, I decided (from something I read in this book, actually) not to write sheet music, but I do plan to provide it at some point.

Ok, synth bass partially finished. I got the main part down, and hopefully, that's it for now. Reason it took so long was because it doesn't sound quite as dark as I had wanted. Couldn't get that right. So, enjoy your not so threatening bass.

YES.

Thank you, PD. I downloaded that song. Listening to it now.

OK, decided to give up doing bass in MIDI, and decided just to use loops for it. NOW it sounds far better.

MIDI FTW!
