>Song submission rules/guidelines
Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
You must include a screenshot of your DAW - this is to verify the track is not AI-generated.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included.
You may also add a pseudonym to be included in the track metadata, but it must not be one you already use on music platforms.
Songs that violate YouTube's policies won't be uploaded there, but they will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your song. Light-touch mastering is sometimes applied to improve the consistency between tracks.
Use of AI is banned - This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is prohibited. We rely on trust.

>if i use moises/ableton's built-in stem separator to isolate vocals, does that make it AI use?
It does count and would be disallowed. However I've been meaning to update the AI policy to allow AI assisted samples/effects so long as its usage is declared. Expect to see it in the next OP.
So, you can use the stem separator, but in your submission you should document where the AI tool was used. Easy-peasy.
AI-generated stems are still banned and I reserve the right to reject songs which use too much AI.

I only have this hand written lead sheet as proof of not using AI, as I produced and exported this track from an orchestral arrangement I wrote on MuseScore over 6 years ago, and have since lost that file between changing computers.

for example kurt cobain claimed to not know music theory but many people would argue that he had some rare talent, an intuitive feel for music. he likely had perfect pitch or perhaps not the strictest definition of perfect pitch, some kind of enhanced perception of music so he was able to make excellent choices of analog distortions for his guitar tone etc. anons and the vast majority of amateur and low-tier professional musicians hear a much more mundane version of music, some schizos might have a temporary manic phase of obsessing over katy perry's lyrics but they don't give a flying fuck about how the 1176 helped shape her sound. anons can listen to a song with 1 billion streams and be utterly underwhelmed by it, and see very little about it in terms of the quality of the music that sets it apart from a song with 1k streams.

i spent a hour examining green goblin mode, to my ear
f major - em - f major - g major
808 bass i also transcribed out, mostly those notes with step ups of D, and A thrown in.
the pad or whatever in the background was a little harder despite only being 4 notes, something is done with the attack so it comes in a little after the beat. roughly 130bpm. i have no key it is in, Am not starting on the root or some F major shit. I'm gonna throw on heavy guitars either in place of the 808s or write something new

Anons help, I cant make music and im sad. I can make bits of them. sound design a cool new pad. program some interesting drums. maybe make a 16 bar loop or two. I can sometimes put everything together into a 1min long track, but i cannot consistently make entire full length songs. I just wanna finish full tracks :(
>>
>>108655722
Very simple method: if you can make four or more parts that go together well, then you can have different combinations playing throughout the track.
let's say drums = D, pad = P, bass = B, lead = L
you can have 8 bar sections like so:
B
DB
DBP
PL
BPL
DBPL

the point is that you're nothing like kurt cobain or any musician with talent, you're a dogshit brainlet and this thread is cancer. your entire premise of pretending to be a producer is based on extreme naivety and dooning-krooger (the boomer has a wordfilter so that's why i spell it like that). the knowledge of how to make music is readily available in 2026 and you have AI to help interpret the information and you still can't figure it out. some anons claim that they're not trying to be successful and they're just having fun, which is just cope for making low quality music. some anons insist that they know exactly what makes for good music and they just need more practice or whatever, kek.

most pop songs are literally just two parts, not counting the intro and the outro. embrace repetition embrace repetition.

A longer composition if done well is a narrative like a short story. In storytelling juxtaposition of seemingly absurd contraries work really well. In classical music theory theres a notion of counter point. Forget about the diatonics of it, and thin kabout maybe James bond and his nemesis. Make two peaces of music representing opposing forces fight and entangle until they find some mutual ground at the end of it- thats how you compose a sonata. In a classic sonata narrative you have two motifs introduced sepperately, then you have a modulation part where they sought of conjugate, then a final part where they have modulated each other so to speak. Its a very cliche model but it just werks (tm)

None of us are kurt cobain. nor are we jimi hendrix nor mozart. Nor duke ellington for that matter. You count as one of us, as in none of those. Your appreciation of some don't entitle you to belittle others. Unless of course you show us your work...?

that's all you got, the notion that i suck as much as you do so you're at least valid in being "normal" (you wish). you're the biggest fucking retard who lacks the most basic comprehension skills, you're a bad faith troll who has nothing to contribute to the world. half of the population is dumber than average, and the average is pretty fucking dumb, not an artistic genius or anything.

anons are retarded though for not understanding that the synth sounds good and that's why his reaction is justified. most anons don't care about it or the upcoming 16-voice flagship clone of jupiter 8. it's not just the synth, they'll hear a popular song and think there is nothing special about it, that they can make their own songs and skip the "polish" and the song will stand on its own merit because their understanding of music stopped at the first year of school. there's literally a concept in education called "lies to children" where they start you off with dumbed down basic concepts like that music is about lyrics and singing a melody and such, ignoring the technological aspect of how the sound is processed in the studio.

you're an absolute dumb shit for thinking you have put in a valid effort to "try", it's 2026 and you're still this delusional, you don't have the most basic intuition to even get started, you hate virtually all music except for some ridiculous random artists with like a few thousand listeners, you aren't motivated to seek out hardware or higher quality plugins because you don't believe that sound quality is even a thing, try to get it through your thick skull how absurd it is that you're trying to produce music in 2026 and you can't keep up with even instagram and tiktok zoomers and certainly not the established music industry professionals
>>
>>
>>108672335
this is yet another sign of your retardation that you're years late to adopting AI and you have to resort to an ad hominem attack, you can't comprehend the message irrespective of the author that the jupiter 8 is a high quality and valuable synth, if i had simply stated a figure like $20k then how trustworthy would that be? there's nothing wrong with the AI response, it's a skill issue that you have to spaz out about it instead of actually doing something nice with how you use synths as part of music production

it's 2026 and the first point he brings up is the quality of vintage hardware such as the 1176 and SSL and neve consoles, it's practically common knowledge among anyone who works professionally with music yet anons are still in denial

ridiculous mental gymnastics, i'm doing much more than you, you're such a pathological cheapskate that you won't even spend money on a basic thing like an audio interface, you fantasized that you could build one yourself if only you had the time but you would probably fail to build it to professional standards
https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/108235103/#108241042
>>
also, an unwillingness to spend money has to do with that you haven't done your research, you're clueless, so you don't know what specific things to buy and how they can benefit you, if you actually know what you're doing it's much better to invest in things for yourself than to be a cuck in the stock market where the bizbros are often inept or outright crooked

yeah it's redundant when there's /mu/ - /prod/ and these anons are the biggest gorilla retards like it changes your entire life perspective to observe these people and see their weird ideas and how little (nothing) they learn over time. they're not interested in recording technology, they might mention some 10+ year old VST synths and lolcow stuff like airwindows and not much else. not one anon besides me has a hardware 1176 and anons don't care to research plugins that do higher quality emulations than the stock plugins that come included with babby's first DAW like fl studio or ableton.
