Basically what I mean is in the store, when you mouse over the T-shirts, and they make the homestar sung notes, is there a program floating around to make songs out of them? Or would it be feasable to make one, in the same kind of way you can make your own ringtones on a cell? That would be especially cool, to make one and then send it to a cell phone. Any thoughts or help from anyone? |

Even thoughn it comes out in low quality, I just use a microphone and record it, then put it into sound recorder or something like that. |

You could ask somebody who has flash to decompile the flash file for the T-shirts and mix the mp3 files together to make a song for you. |

Yea, that would be cool. I'm just imagining star wars or something as hummed by Homestar. It wouldn't be that hard to make a flash program by decompiling the file and shuffling a few options, would it? |

It would be kind of hard since it doesn't have all of the notes. It only has A, B, C-sharp, D-sharp, G-sharp, A-sharp, B-sharp/C, C-sharp, D-sharp, E, F-sharp, G-sharp, and B |

But you could make the others if you were clever, by changing the pitch... In fact, I'm going to mess around with that right now... [edit] Proof of concept: http://phlip.websiteallies.com/doo.mo3 C major scale, then a chromatic scale, and finally a two-part harmony from "Do You Hear the People Sing?" (from Les Misérables) (WinAmp can play MO3 files if you get this plugin, if you don't use winamp you're on your own - here might be a good place to start looking. I'd post it as an uncompressed module but it's about 7 times the size) I'm working on the Star Wars opening theme that Thunderbird mentioned - I found a nice MIDI file online to work from. [edit 2] http://phlip.websiteallies.com/starwars.mo3 I asked Homestar to sing along with the music, but he doesn't know all of it... well at least he tried. (To save you obsessives from trying to work it out, I got the "Umm" from the Broken Compy Menu, "cool" from dullard, "yeah" from The Interview and "oh!" from the end of super powers. The music he's singing along to is from here) [edit 3] If you want to use the sounds, get them here: http://phlip.websiteallies.com/doo.xi Load it into any tracker that will import .xi instrument files (I personally like ModPlug Tracker or its sucessor OpenMPT but whatever tickles your fancy) In OpenMPT, go to the Intruments tab, click the new instrument button then the open instrument button, and find doo.xi Try to only use notes between A3 and A5, though you can go a little bit outside this range if you want to. Notes much higher or lower than these are made by changing the speed of the note so it plays at a different pitch. While this works ok if it's within a couple of semitones (which is how it makes the in-between notes) it sounds really bad if it's too far out. [the last edit, I swear] Just another song I had lying around that was in an ideal state to be converted: http://phlip.websiteallies.com/korobeineki.mo3 You can hear the bass parts didn't come out well... The hold pitch ok, but don't really sound like Homestar. |

Wow Philip, that's some amazing stuff. Great work! Oh, and I can totally tell it's Homestar. |
