Get in the truck Malory!!Alright….here’s my “rap/country/rock” mashup.
Dropbox

I’d like to thank Cake…for giving me the confidence to take pride in my natural rap style.
This recording/mix was done using only 3 effects plugins:
A plate reverb on a vocal effects bus.
EZDrummer 3.(when the electrics kick in, after the triangle strike)
A “mastering/limiter” plug on the main bus…a factory preset called “Soul Enhancer”.
No eq, or anything else….I'm fairly certain that could be a criminal offense in some places.
The rap/country intro was done completely with acoustic “instruments”….These “instruments”:

These were the other stringed instruments used….

This was some crazy shizz to put together, and it was recorded while it was being written.
I don’t have a pic of the lyric sheet yet…
Oh, yeah! And I finally got to “reverse selected item as a new take” near the end….that was fun.
Ha! I had a blast with this one! There wasn’t enough room in the song arrangement for everything that came to mind.
Wow sir!..Thanks for that!!! To answer that question: The washboard was a loan, someone at work said that they thought they had one kicking around…couple weeks later, they handed me that one. It turned out to be a decorative glass one, but it made an interesting noise using the screwdriver handles. The triangle is one of a few odds-n-ends I’ve had kicking around here for years.
Well….I assembled at least one patch cable, used in the recording, with it.
What if a fellow put together a longform youtube vid with all these songs, and scrolled the lyrics for each over some generic background b-roll? Somebody just roll video driving around a trailer court or at a mud truck rally or similar for background. Or driving around some rural areas
Nice man, Factory kickin it out again !!Alright….here’s my “rap/country/rock” mashup.

Agreed this round was flat out amazing, the only one I knew I could not vote for was myself. Good fun.
Ha ha, I have some music on the TV shows Muddin' and Duck Dynasty. Never watched either but my contact assures me they placed and I SHOULD be getting royalty checks. (Still haven't seen a cent)
THAT's for SURE!!!
The beginning of the end, my friend...While we vote... This morning I experimented with something called Suno.

It's a full blown AI song/music generator. Not just lyrics, not just music, but full blown produced songs, with intros, verses, choruses, etc. Not yet full quality but already rather astounding for how young this tech is.
My prompt was: "Create a country rock redneck anthem glorifying big trucks with a rap style bridge" 25 seconds later, it gave me two tries at it, here's the second one
It's only giving me a shorter portion of the generated song, Probably bcz I'm just using the free version.
Frankly, I don't know what to think, it's generic as heck, but where this is all going is definitely cause for much wonder. No AI songs allowed for RiffMasters please!
Might be a fun separate thread. Make a love song for your lady. An angry song about your boss. A wedding video song. I wonder if it does instrumentals only?
Pretty insane.
Wow, that's quite plausible. I caught myself grooving on the chorus in the first one. LOL
Having real skills is going to become something magical. I wonder if the next generations will have the patience to learn anything, because it's a long road where the cost/benefit analysis will be dubious.
