Shroom Island (The Soundmakers)

Published 2021-09-19

I figured I'd post a My Singing Monsters inspired music video here to see what happens, I've been contemplating uploading some of my content to Newgrounds so this is a bit new to me.


I'm expecting harsh critique when I release this, besides 3 backgrounds and a handful of animations of the soundmakers playing, I finished this in 14 days, so there's a lot of rushed aspects in it.


Also my content is formatted in a weird way, where I post each sound or instrument individually and eventually lead that to post the full song, and sometimes that sound is animated. Just for some context. I probably won't post those animations, so you can find them on my YouTube channel.


Software:

Ableton (My main Daw, Presets: Noisy Key Machine, E-Piano Straight, Plucked Flutter (I think this one has been retired in the daw), Vector Clav (retired probably), Fanatik Bass, 606 toms, wood mpc samples, Crystal Clear Kit, Clap Short Powered)

Massive (Presets: Brutzel, Voice of Reason)

BitBox (8 bit drum vst)

Serum (Synth, for Plucks)

Battery 4 (Byte Riot Integer Kit)

Mother 3 Organ Sample (made by fluidvolt) https://musical-artifacts.com/artifacts/188


The animation was made in ToonBoom, backgrounds (that were done by me) were made in Photoshop, backgrounds that weren't made by me (ShimmyShoShammy, they did 3), were made in Krita. The animations were edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.


I couldn't find any places to credit artists who helped on this video, so I'll just do it here.
