Need help with continuous (loop) ambient music

[GregoryWohlwend]

i'm working on a website that will display my art and my writing. It's basically a portfolio site. I'm in need of a really badass sound that can loop. If someone is willing to work with me on this i'll put you/your band on my affiliates list. I'd also really appreciate it. here is a rough draw up of what the site will look like, and it's done in flash.

let me know if you are interested.

I don't know how ambient you want it to be, but here's a little thing I had laying around...

[holy reality]

would you call lots of pick scrapes + feedback + wah ambient?

That's about all I write....

[GregoryWohlwend]

wow elevate, that kicked ass

is that a seamless loop? cuz i'm probably going to use it.

edit: i don't think it is, is there a way i could cut it so it is seamless? i don't have much for audio editors. if you have the time and it's easy and not to much hassle maybe you could play with it..... i'll be able to figure it out eventually... anyway what is your band,s website or your website, or something i can give you credit for etc.?

[elevate]

is that a seamless loop?
No, not really, and I don't think it can be "seamlessly" looped. However, it's so shapeless, that I don't think the loop point is all that noticeable. I tinkered with it a little, and a slightly modified version.

I guess you can just stick my Nowhere Radio link on there, but it's not that big of a deal. The url is: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/?aid=1414/singles

[GregoryWohlwend]

hrmm i think i could reverse the frames perhaps in flash and make it that way, i'll play with er, thanks though and i'll be sure to link you from my site

[GregoryWohlwend]

i have one last little minor miniscule small nuisance to bug you with. If it is possible/easy to bump down the volume to about half of what it is that would be super cool. again i can probably figure out on my own, but thanks for the kickass sound if you don't want to bother with this minor insignificant detail.

[elevate]

Wouldn't take but a few seconds. Which clip would you want the volume reduced on?

[GregoryWohlwend]

sound2 please. i think that one worked well with the looping. just use your own judgement on the volume. look at it from a website viewers perspective. if they have music playing while they visit the site they probably wouldn't want it fucking with the music to much, or if it is completely quiet and the site loads and it shocks them, thats not good. i want it subtle and soft. what would be ideal are a few versions of various volume, but one would suffice as well.

thanks so much man, you kickass and if there is anything i can do for you cd art etc. i'd be honored to work with you.

You're using Flash, no? Just lower the volume envelope within the movie....

[elevate]

Yeah, what Psilo said....or if you don't want to do that,

[Sandoz]

Hey here's a thought Gregory? How about you shut the fuck up and let people choose what music they want to listen to, hm?

I am so fucking TIRED of all the bullshit sites that start playing music when you walk in. They smartened up a little and now most of em allow you to shut the music the fuck up when you want to but Goddamnit I HATE sites that play music. Don't webmasters realise people actually listen to music every once in a while? Yeah, it fucking happens! Right now I'm listening to Haendel and I tell you if I went to a site and I had "continuous (loop) ambient music" starting to play over it I would simply shut the responsible window up and never return to that Goddamn site.

So why don't you do the Internet a favour and make the site low on cosmetics and concentrate on CONTENT instead?

[GregoryWohlwend]

eat shit

[GregoryWohlwend]

thanks for the tips psil, i'll check that out, in light of sandoz's feminine napkin stuck up her vagina i may consider a different audio approach but... probably not.

[paraflux]

yeah it was like, where did that come from?

[Sandoz]

yeah it was like, where did that come from?Years of pent up frustration at these fucking websites with the fucking music thinking "If I find only ONE of the fuckers who is stupid enough to put music on his site..."

[GregoryWohlwend]

you've found him AND you know his christian name

Now what?

[paraflux]

hahahaha
this is classic.
smart-ass french girl vs. web designer from Iowa.
Now... who to put my money on?

[elevate]

Now... who to put my money on?
Hasn't the only conflict from which the French emerged victorious been when they fought themselves?

[reign3]

Whoa.

I'm not a real fan of music popping up on websites I visit either. Maybe if it's really soft and in the background it wouldn't be a big deal. But I just hate when I go to a site some loud ass corny music starts blaring. It really pisses me off.

[GregoryWohlwend]

yea like www.jessicasimpson.com

[elevate]

Holy shit! That was fuckin loud...not to mention sucking tremendous amounts of ass. The only thing Jessica Simpson needs on her site is nekkid pictures of herself - there's absolutely no need for anything else.
