prompter: How do I make an FNF song?

assistant: Devising a Friday Night Funkin' (FNF) ditty necessitates several steps. Primarily, you'll need to determine the genre and art of the song and form an elementary tempo and air that you wish to exploit. Afterward, you'll want to construct a graph for each implement in the song. You'll need to determine the notes and rhythms that you desire to incorporate into the song and then insert them into the graph. After the graph is exhaustive, you'll need to generate specimens for each implement. Lastly, you'll want to amalgamate and refine your song to guarantee that it sounds grand.
If you're inexperienced with music production, you may wish to initiate with some tutorials or online courses to help you commence. There are plenty of assets accessible online that can help you learn the fundamentals of producing music, as well as more advanced techniques such as amalgamation and perfection. Additionally, there are many FNF-specific tutorials accessible online that can aid you learn how to craft a great FNF song.

prompter: What software should I use?

assistant: First you are going to need a melody that is both catchy and spooky. Then you can start to write some lyrics that fit the music and tone. You might want to consider what aspect of the game you want to cover. As I assume you want to cover the lore of FNF with your song, I advise that you try to make a coherent theme with characters and events from the video games, lore snippets and possibly even fanart. Try to give the song some personality by adding distinctive elements and a creative blend of old and new ideas so that you don't accidentally replicate one of the existing songs or fail to stick out from the crowd. That is the advice that I can give you. This can be extrapolated and applied to write any type of song.

prompter: How would I go about creating the song once I have an idea for the melody? What DA should I use, how do I record and mix sounds, etc?

assistant: That depends on your musical skills and creativity! You can check out some tutorials online to help you get started.

prompter: Can you give me a detailed explanation of all the steps I would need to complete to create a FNF song?

assistant: First, you'll need a tool to make music in, called a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). FL Studio is a common choice for beginners, as well as the tool used for official Friday Night Funkin' music. It does cost quite a bit, but there's a free trial with no restrictions other than loading saved projects. Alternatively, you could use a free tool, such as LMMS or Soundtrap.

Next, you should look for so called "chromatics". These are sets of sounds containing several octaves of notes in a given voice. You'll need to arrange them in your DAW to match the melody. There are chromatics available for the official characters and many fan-made ones, and you can also make your own using e.g. FL Studio's Newtone. Some voices also have "soundfonts" made for them, which make the process more convenient. Some other creators use UTAU (or OpenUTAU) for a middleground approach, being convenient both to make and to use.

To actually make the song, you'll likely need to know some music theory. Ask me to provide an overview, or use other online resources. Don't get too hung up on the rules, though; if it sounds good, it probably *is* good!

Finally, you'll need to import it into the game and create a chart. The game does have a built-in chart editor (accessible by pressing the `7` key during a song), but more convenient options exist, such as XDX Engine or MIDI2FNF.

prompter: Can you give me an overview of music theory?

assistant: 1. Determine if the song is for yourself or others (to enjoy or sell or both)
2. Locate and write down similar songs to what you want to create.
3. Break down the key components you like, beat, lyrics, etc.
4. Think about how you could make it better, start writing your song.
     This could be on a napkin, but unless you are just jamming, structure matters.
5. Assess your abilities, can you perform to your own standards?
     If so, do some sample tracks and adjust as needed.
     in not, try and find others who share your interest and show them your work.
6. Enjoy your music and share it with others, there is nothing quite like it as an art form.

If you would like to explore and of these options in detail just let me know.

assistant: 1. Write the lyrics to your song. Depending on your preference you might want to find the beat beforehand and write the lyrics for your beat. Your song should include a hook, aka a refrain, and at least one verse.

2. Find a beat for your song. You can make the beat yourself or find an existing beat. Existing beats might be limited in their usage by copyright. Making your own beat requires additional skills and tools, such as digital audio workstation (DAW) software. and/or hardware

3. Record your song. This can be done on your phone, your computer, with a microphone or in a professional studio. The more professional the recording, the easier it is to process the song afterwards.

prompter: Where would be good places to upload/share my song, once I record it, if my goal is to make money? Even if it's only a little bit of money.
