Despite being able to listen to the same song and speed for days or even weeks on end, for thousands upon thousands of loops, surprisingly, I’m unable to identify instruments or the genre of music. Despite this major weakness, at least I’m able to create music, through software programs that generate it. I use FL Studio. Though only 1/3 done for what I would like, this video gives a good example as to what music in Platform Masters will actually be like, or, at least, what I intend it to be like - catchy, rhythmic, and also peaceful. This song has the intro and 2 parts so far. The first part is measures 2 through 17 (16 total). The second part is measures 18 through 25 (8 total). A third part is intended and perhaps a fourth, both likely 8 measures.
When it comes to music, I have a big problem to solve. The problem isn’t creating the music, rather, it’s programming-related. In order to play music, it has to be loaded into RAM in a decompressed state. Trouble is, I only know RLE compression. Decompressing OGG Vorbis or MP3 is just too advanced for me. Thus, I’m stuck with WAV. There’s a big problem with WAV though - download size and horrible compression. All the graphics compress very well, outside the ground. It’s quite common I see things like 30% compression, or even 90%+ when I do tests in Winzip (using legacy compression, for maximum compatibility, rather than it’s own). WAV files compress not 90%, not 30%, not even 10%, but more around 3% from what I often get. Only songs with a lot of silence get over 10%. I would like to go with 48,000 Hz, 16-bit, mono for the audio quality and a 90-second target duration per loop. Until this issue is resolved, the duration will be cut to about 60 seconds and the quality will be reduced considerably to 16,000 Hz, 8-bit, mono.

The new “stretch to tempo” feature in Record 1.5 (AUDIO+MIDI) and Reason 5 (MIDI only) means that it’s easier than ever to take a WAV loop off your hard drive and bring it into your session - quickly employing Record’s excellent stretch algorithm along the way. In case you’re new to waveform editing and sample stretching, this week I’ll show you how it’s done. It’s easier than you may think and the production possibilities become vast.
