SineSaw
Welcome to SineSaw I'm not the best at sound design and I know a lot of people who aren't either. That's why I made this group, for all the users struggling with sounds. This group is also for more advanced users to post their own sounds for others to use. Just open the links and find a sound you like. How to submit: Simply P.M me a link to a document with all the details on how to create the sound or a .sng file, and if I think it's good enough ill provide it in a google drive link in this desc. Make sure your document is correct and is easy to understand. You can also post easy sound designs in the comments. You can post tracks here if they use a new interesting sound design. Any irrelevant tracks will be removed. Start designing! New Sounds: Voxel: Sound Collection ChordsBoy: VA Tutorial 1 Unique Alias: All designs Shards: Ali-A Bass,High Chords,Trillan Chords Keylime Pie: Whistle Wub, StarSplitter: "Mutants" design walkthrough,
The Feedback Group
This group is made for aspiring Soundation users who would like feedback on their tracks. If you don't get much attention with your tracks, you can always come here to brush up on your skills and learn from the community! Rules: -NO TEASING/BULLYING OTHER USERS. This should be an obvious one, but some people simply don't follow this rule, especially online. So, please, don't be disrespectful to other users. All we want is room for improvement! -JOIN, JOIN, JOIN! Okay, technically this isn't a rule, but if this group is to thrive, we need both types of members: the type that wants feedback, and the type that analyzes the tracks in this group. Whichever type of user you are, join this group to benefit everyone here! -DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT "NEGATIVE" COMMENTS: The reason I put negative in quotes is because THERE WILL NOT BE ANY NEGATIVE COMMENTS. However, if someone criticizes your track a little too harshly, don't feel bad. You shouldn't take the comment to heart, but you should try to improve in whatever area you don't feel confident about. -ANYONE CAN REVIEW EACH OTHER'S TRACKS!! This rule is definitely a good one. I am just a humble moderator. You members are much more musically capable, and I suggest you put that capability to use (not that you guys haven't already :D). That's all! Be sure to look at other popular Soundation users' tracks to get a feel and inspiration for music! CHALLENGES: -Comment on everyone's songs (giving advice) -Invite other users :D
Project Muse
Project Muse is a special group for those who really want to improve their skills. Here, we give one-on-one training to each member, until they are ready to ascend to the level of a true musician! The only rules here are no put-downs, and no overly harsh criticism. This is intended to be a safe place for people to develop their talents, and I hope that it serves its purpose!
Muse Academy
I have changed this group back into Muse Academy. Feel free to post any tracks you like here! The only rules here are to keep the atmosphere positive, offer advice and just generally have fun! Thanks for joining!
Creation Kings
|| Welcome to Creation Kings || We're just a simple group for chilling and creating music. Anyone feel free to join, all are welcome! || Simple Rules || 1. Posting: Post how many tracks you want of any kind; full tracks, WIPS, announcement tracks, etc. Just don't hog the spotlight. 2. Respect: Show respect to the members. We're all just a bunch of random people trying to have a good time, so be mindful when using foul language and rude jokes. 3. Featured Groups/Tracks: Read below for information. 4. Have Fun: Enjoy your time here at Creation Kings! Overall, do whatever you want, just be respectful/mindful. Not too hard, huh? || Track Features || Every once in a while I just select a couple of random tracks and put them up there. If you'd like a track featured, just P.M me or ask below in the comments. It is not guaranteed I will feature your track, but most of the time you'll probably get a spot. || Group Features || None at the moment. Just P.M me or ask below in the comments if you'd like some of your groups featured. Your group will be featured until you ask for me to remove it. Please note that you can only feature three groups max at a time. || Announcements || Notice from AylaMoon: just want to let you guys know I'm not really active here on Soundation anymore. I do pop in every once in a while to update featured tracks and check up on things, but don't be surprised if things get slow. Excuse any inconvenience.
Music Theory
HERE IS A .SNG FILE WITH A SHORT CHILLOUT IDEA IN IT https://www.mediafire.com/download/dbvjymvbqt3xr7u/Chilled_song_for_you_guys_to_get_ideas_from.sng HERE IS A .SNG FOR A DNB DRUM BEAT https://www.mediafire.com/download/6d61bs9aclzkbn9/DnB_beat.sng It has come to my attention that many people on soundation don't have a basic understanding of music theory and subsequently some of them find it hard to make there own loops, stay in a key and make nice sounding melodies. I intend to change that by helping those people get to grips with the basics, I will also be giving a few tips targeted at those who already have a good understanding and have to help really improve there musical depth, such as some really neat key changes (Key changes are barely used on soundation), chromaticism, blues notes, extended chords, countermelodies and many more, NEW!!!!: KRackEd EkHo had the idea of having a communal account so people can see the ideas of music theory for themselves as well as getting useful ideas. the user name is 'DusksMusicTheoryProgram@gmail.com' and the password is 'duskmusicuk' feel free to add new projects and test your ideas for others to see, I'll be putting a few things up for others to use and get ideas from. the only things you cannot do is delete projects, change the password or do anything on the community with this account, this account is purely for use in the studio. if anyone does otherwise the account will be shut down, so please obey by the rules. The Basics: there are 12 notes on the key board A, A-sharp/B-flat, B, C, C-sharp/D-flat, D, D-sharp/E-flat, E, F, F-sharp/G-flat, G, G-sharp/A-flat, check the link to see how these relate to the piano roll https://www.ehowtoplaypiano.com/piano-lessons/piano-notes-for-songs/ ...but you only use 7 at a time because there are only seven in each key, e.g. C,D,E,F,G,A,B,(C) an octave is C1 to C2 as C2 is the 8th note from C1 (as there are seven in the scale) The gap between to note directly adjacent to each other (e.g. B and C or D and D-sharp) is called a semitone, 2 semitones are called a tone (e.g. the gap between C and D is a tone, check the piano roll or link to see for yourself) Major Keys: the pattern of these tones and semitones for a major scale is T,T,S,T,T,T,S (e.g. C,D,E,F,G,A,B,(C) for C major or F,G,A,B-flat,C,D,E, for F major you simply pick a major key and to work out the scale for that key you use the pattern T,T,S,T,T,T,S to find all the notes. Minor Keys: For a natural minor Key the pattern is T,S,T,T,S,T,T but for a harmonic minor the pattern is T,S,T,T,S,T+S,S (mess around and see which you prefer), so an A (natural) minor scale would be A,B,C,D,E,F,G,(A) an A (harmonic) minor would be A,B,C,D,E,F,G-sharp,(A). check this site for more https://www.loopblog.net/tutorials/music-theory-tutorials/understanding-basic-scales-more-loop-fun/ or https://www.music-tutors-uk.com/Theory/scales.html Basic chords: the most common chord is a triad, it has 3 notes and the have intervals of thirds (in others words they have one note in between them (from the scale of the key), e.g. in C major the notes of the scale are C,D,E,F,G,A,B so a third would be C to E or D to F) in this clip, the chord C major is played first, the first note is C, the next note is E as it is a third away (one note in between), then a G is the next as it is a third away from E this gives you C,E,G and this is how you make triads. check this clip and my comments at the beginning for a proper lesson on chords https://soundation.com/user/duskmusicuk/track/the-basics-of-chords also check these clips for more on scales and chord sequences (more to come) https://soundation.com/user/duskmusicuk/track/simple-chord-sequence-in-c-major-sequence-i-v-vi-iv-1-5-6-4 https://soundation.com/user/duskmusicuk/track/harmonic-minor-scales-a-minor-to-d-minor-pattern-t-s-t-t-t-s-s https://soundation.com/user/duskmusicuk/track/major-scales-c-major-to-f-major-pattern-t-t-s-t-t-t-s

Christmas contest
Christmas is finally over!Thank you for all your submissions! Excuse the delayed announcement. Unfortunately, there were a lot of songs that weren't made using Soundation or couldn't be verified so some of the runner-ups were disqualified.Congratulations to the winners, expect a magic upgrade and a DM.Winners1st placeHyphen - Jingle Bells remixHyphen was a bit OP in this contest, he’s had his share of features and it’s surprising he’s still squeezing things out on a free account. It’s time bro. Very smooth production and a nice play on the jingle bells melody. 2nd placeJOBEATZ2 - Carol of the beatz Hard trap beat with some Xmas elements in it, the mix is a bit off and it could need some more dynamics and switch-ups, but all in all, well played. 3rd placeXASTOLIAM - ChroniclesVery well-arranged and full-bodied production. It would have landed second place if it had some Christmas in it. Mix tip: tune your compression wisely, dial it back a little bit and don’t go ham on it all the way through - the end result will sound a lot more professional. Thanks Moon for putting this together!
