Talk:Animusic

message: Okay, I know I once changed all the xylophones into marimbas, but I now know that they aren't.  I wish for everyone here to stop calling them marimbas because maribas have tubes under the blocks for the sound to resonate.  The instrument in Animusic don't have them.  Change them back? And the area under the harp in Aqua Harp, they don't have bells.  They're all chimes.  Who put that in the article? And in Starship Groove, the light's and the ship's laser sounds come from the players' drums and synth pads. And in "Cathedral Pictures," the pyrotechnics don't make sounds.

text: I would note that the pyrotechnics in "Cathedral Pictures" are either synched with tom-toms or do in fact make percussive bursts of several bass notes. (Correction: tympani, not tom-toms) --  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.223.201.239 (talk) 20:05, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Actually, there aren't any timpani in Cathedral pictures.  The pyrotechnics are in sync with the tom-toms.  The "noises" sound too high to be timpani.
About the pyrotechnics in Cathedral Pictures: If they don't make any sound, then what are those loud explosion noises that the tom-toms clearly don't make themselves? And with the white speakers in Starship Groove, the robots and drum sets are definitely not making those zap and buzz sounds. They're being made by the speakers. Just check the videos. They all make sound. -76.252.218.50 (talk) 03:05, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

text: The loud explosion noises are just loud explosion noises. The pitch is done by the tom-toms. The speakers make the sound; Wayne called them light speakers himself. O—— The Unknown Hitchhiker 14:42, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Okay, this is more important.  There seems to be something wrong with the images on Wikipedia.  Did someone get rid of them? The Unknown Hitchhiker 00:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, they did.  We didn't need a screenshot for every single animation, and all of them are not free.  Although these images were deleted by a bot, because no rationale for fair use was given. See Wikipedia:Fair_use#Images for more info. — Kjammer  ⌂ 16:39, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is stated on the website that the images from the downloads page (which are the ones that were used) are free to use and share ("We've just released Animusic 2 screensavers and desktop wallpaper... Grab and share, free of course, on our downloads page." (sic); "HD video, iPod video, screensavers, wallpaper... All free! Grab 'em and share!" (sic)). I think this means that we can use these as example images and Animusic wouldn't get mad at us. But... they were a waste of space and made the page look too convoluted, so I wouldn't put them back if I could. -75.61.70.203 (talk) 17:03, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  YouTube links 

message: Hello all. I added (and subtracted) some bits and pieces from the instrument descriptions on both the Animusic 1 and 2 tracklistings. What was there was good, however some of the definitions - like 'synth pad' were at times incorrect, and others (like Ultraviolet Laser) could be reduced to 'violet laser'. Also, I replaced all mentions of 'banjo' with 'acoustic guitar', as this resembles it a little more closely. I hope I didn't offend anyone! --Hobbes35 01:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Instrument names and descriptions 

message: Based on listening to the director's comment (Wayne Lytle's) on both DVD 1 and 2, I find following statements misleading and replaced them with a more neutral POV, "Sustained sounds are used relatively sparingly. Most instrument sounds are stock patches available on digital keyboards, subjected to no manipulation, aside from pitch / playback speed, to enhance their timbre."

And if you look at it, the track isn't aligned correctly and wasn't corrected at all by the original contributor.  And the track listings also sound a little too strange for the Animusic team to name them.  I mean, who would name their tracks Finale part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, and The Real Finale?
