Matt - I would love to be the one to come along and go - 'here you are - there's your song' but what you are asking is like going to a book publisher and saying 'here's a dictionary, produce me a book'.
There would be so much trial and error going backwards and forwards that it would waste everyone's time.
You need to learn to walk before you can run. Get an instrument (or app on an iPod/iPhone) and learn to translate your ideas mate.

I really want to take these tracks and wrap a song around them meme style but I don't have the time or patience at the moment. I feel bad laughing but good lord that is some funny stuff. I'm not convinced this is serious.

Oh he is serious.  He has at least 6 songs on his soundcloud page and they are all similar.

Well then he definitely needs to get a controller, a sequencer and learn how to use them because this is just not gonna work and will open him up to the scorn and ridicule of the internet. This is probably one of the nicest places you'll find on the tubes and he still got carved up. It's like asking someone to build you a house by handing them a model made out of toothpicks and used bubblegum. 

Harsh perhaps but true. Best of luck to ya, Challa walla guy.

      well after listening to your tracks, all the other BS aside, I understand how what you hear in your "head" is epic, a whole finished piece like a sound track to a game/movie you say. Its a great under taking to say in the least. What you have there is EPIC, in a very raw form and out of sorts. Since you had the G-nads to post yourself Duttin and Doing in what could be precived as "comedy", Im going to take your post for what I think it is. Im going to listen to what you have, read your discriptions again and see what I can come up with. It wont be as epic as it is in your head, I can promise you that, but I will try just cause I have nothing to do right now and all the crazyness that went along with this post made me laugh so F-ing hard, thanks for that Matt! Please be patient...

Let's be fair here. Maybe it's his blueprint. Remember the sand/castle with GH's help analogy? However, if the blueprint is nothing but scribbles ... 

A child's drawing or painting could be this, but obviously people realize to not expect Picasso given hey know his paintings; however, it does the child's self-esteem wonders to let it know you liked it. (Go a step further and say it's better than what you could/would've done) I'm not saying the OP is childish by any means, but I'm also not telling the other posters to beat around the bush either.


What I am saying is that he should have at least done some tidying up/organization even if he doesn't fully know where to go with it. I agree that the carving into him wasn't helpful, but he choose to see it that way - at least initially.

And the uploaded track count. If one's gonna put up 10-20 tracks with every minor improvement; you're better off sending it to someone who knows what they're doing and send it raw or nothing to hard boiled or baked in IMO). I had asked Danny this question earlier and he says it depends on the person you've put your song's hands in because everybody's different; however, there may be MEs that can handle every situation. Yet, they do advise you not to bind their hands (at least not so tightly) It's also why I proposed the feature to upload tracks (if only partial) to this forum (given that he seems to be self-conscience about what he creates)


Having said this, I wonder what his thoughts were on the user (I forget who) who made the effort to give the song some direction? Btw, I've gotten: "I didn't like what you did/That wasn't what I wanted" collaboration comments, too and that is okay.

Now this is just something I thought I should share.  I used Audacity (a free audio editor) to put together those two pieces (the action and the happy).  I'm going to try and explain why they would go together (though what I'm explaining may be incorrect).  But somehow, in my mind, these two pieces really do go together.  I have yet to obtain the knowledge and skill necessary to make an accurate reproduction of those two pieces in Sonar or FL Studio and determine for an absolute fact whether they really do go together or not.

But I have a photo here of those two pieces:

http://s1311.beta.photobu...a/chollyjolly.png.html

Some things seem to line up here (but not exactly).  You can see how there's two halves (the 1st and 2nd part of the happy tune with the action piece).  I'm just going to focus on the 2nd half because I can come up with an explanation easily for this part.  For the 2nd half of the action piece with that 2nd half of the happy piece, the action goes from high pitch to low "do do-do doot doo doooo" (but with a higher pitch on "doot," a higher one on "doo," then the lowest one on "doooo."), then leading into "duh-it duh-it duh-it DO-DO DOOOO."  This is like the 2nd half of the happy piece with it because it goes from a high pitch to low in the same fashion.  It imitates the way the action piece plays, in a different way (a happy way).  With the  "do do-do doot doo doooo," the doooo part is the low note (that goes with the last note of the happy piece which is also low).  That last low note on the happy piece is extended through the rest of the action piece as the rest of the action piece rises in pitch for the "duh-it duh-it duh-it DO-DO DOOOO" part (I think that last low note also might rise in pitch with the rest of the action piece, I'm not sure).

Export the file as WAV preferably and import back into your DAW. Hopefully, you can keep the tracks separate before exporting (I have Audacity and well and haven't seen it)

Edot: I just found it. Here's how to Import it into your DAW:

1) Record each individual track (Make sure you mute the previous tracks, so they won't be picked up/recorded

2) Label each track (There's a dropdown up above the sample rate (44.1k by default) Once label, the titles should appears in the waveforms' headers.

3) File>Export Multiple ... 

Here, a dialog box will pop up.

Choose the desired file type to be exported. 
Choose the folder (Programs (x86/Audacity is the default).

There's a option to "Split files based on" - (if not grayed out (it is for me) you can, but don't have to check the box, but if you do, you'll have the choice to split them based on labels (whatever you named the tracks). I see no need for this (yet)

On the right side, it's asking about naming the files either by:

Label/Track Name (Recommend)
Numbering Before Track Name (if you have alot of tracks - ie: Exporting to make a CD)
Numbering after filename prefix (don't bother with this one)

The Tracks radio button should be lit automatically.

4) Click Export

5) Another dialog box will pop up, so you can essentially put in any other information (Title/Author/Artist/Year, etc.) Skip all of this (unless you don't want to) and click OK.

Repeat step 5.

6) Go into your DAW and import the files. (File>Import ...)

and so my question finaly got answered hmm?
you used Audacity to record these clips. this is why i was upset.
i have spent alot of money on cakewalk software and part of that price i thought included a great forum where i could come and ask questions as well as answer some to help out as much as i take..(you take,then you give back)
 
for you to come to a forum and ask someone to do your song for you..and you dont even own any cakewalk software is not fair.

A Peer to Peer Based Forum
The Cakewalk Forums are a web-based community provided by Cakewalk to encourage interaction between owners of Cakewalk products.
 
now i think it would have been fair if you had mentioned this right up front as i asked you over 3 times what cakewalk product you owned.
in my last post i also laid out some ways to get yourself started and i wish you luck.
i'd also like to hear the finished product Shad had promiced you he would do for you.
 
if you really want to get started in the right direction,pick up a copy of cakewalks budget software music creator 6 its only about 39.99
 
then you come here and ask all the questions you'd like. 
 
good luck.
