Mediocre Audio for Mediocre Videos
26Howdy, Mediocreants!
I'm a new staffer here -- until quite recently, I made videos for Another Internet Retail Concern.
In the coming days, I'll be creating new videos for and about Mediocre. You'll see them soon on this forum -- and maybe on whatever other sites happen to sprout like toadstools in Mediocre's damp shadow.
One of the (many, unexpectedly time-consuming) preparatory steps in making these new Mediocre videos is that I have to generate background music for them. In the Mediocre spirit of transparency, here's one such track in progress:
I doubt it will be very interesting to listeners! It's only intended as background music, after all. But to improve the odds it will entertain today's hip teens, I added a brief "dub-step" section to this edit. The kids like that sort of thing, right?
Expect to find the finished version of this recording on your last nerve as a soundtrack element in a Mediocre video shortly! Also, hello.

(I broke those into multiple posts hoping I would get more stars that way.)
Stars for you. Stars for you. Stars for you. Stars for you. That's four, right?
I clicked your star(s) . Are you feeling happy ?
I thought about starting new threads for these, but decided against it. MORE MEDIOCRE AUDIO. Here are the basic backing tracks for a forthcoming site project:
As an official mediocre cowboy, I approve of this music
A bit of a techno beat cowboy tune.
needs moar steel guitar
And here's more of the same sort of thing (this one still needs more fixing-up than its counterpart above):
Yippee-ky-yay, get along little dogie!
This is possibly the most mediocre cowboy music I have ever heard. Congratulations.
And here's the soundtrack to a video you'll see all too soon -- or maybe a Eurodisco club hit if we're lucky, CROSS YOUR FINGERS FOR US:
What's your DJ name?
@matthew This has yet to appear!
Well, it's no AvocadoButt song, but I love them anyway :-) (YES @MATTHEW, I WILL NEVER EVER LET THE MEMORY OF THAT MAGICAL SONG DIE - even though they never did restore the link to AvocadoButt from the original post, someone put the song up on youtube fortunately, so I listen to it at least biannually :-D )
-=C=-
link?
WITH PLEASURE!
Thank you. My life was incomplete for the previous 18 minutes
Hi. Looking forward to the videos, I've enjoyed videos and songs from another internet retail concern.
I see the dubstep coming on the sound graph.. I WILL BE READY
ug, apparently posting stops the music. I WILL BE READY AGAIN SOON
I need a version that auto-loops so that years later I can say that I've been tired of this since the first day I heard it. (I still like it on 4th playback so far)
The "kids" may like that sort of thing( the dub-step}, but cats hate it. Just thought you might want to know for your cat clients.
Important to remember for our future cat-commerce experiments.
@ceagee Maybe your cats will like this instead?
They stared at the speaker, twitching ears w/ a "you've got to be kidding me" look on their faces. Makes you wonder about the translation.
MORE PHAT BEATZ
Cleaning blood off of the ice, after a puck to the face.
AND SOME HEIGHT-WEIGHT-PROPORTIONATE BEATZ TOO:
the mediocre melody is now stuck in my head (on repeat). well done.
Why do I have this urge to play a video game? Nice job!
@matthew my earbuds can't handle the bass
Heh, it's a pretty glitchy-sounding bass noise, you may be hearing it correctly
Dubstep interlude made my day
I had the placethatwillnotbenamed Off song playing in my head for weeks when it was new. I don't know if it is safe to listen to this.
2A "Audio Rorschach Test" : I'm watching a David Lynch skit about a cute robot relentlessly chased by KITT from knight rider. KITT wins.
@matthew Awesomesauce :) Thanks for posting moar! I can't wait until there's an actual 8 minute episode of Maybe It Bothers Me More Than It Should... The longest one so far is about 4.5 mins. I think Irk can rant about something a little longer, don't you?
Irk could go on FOREVER about this stuff; I'm going to try to hold him to under 3m wherever possible
Why does this thread remind me of when my son's band practiced in the basement???
@smilingjack
@JonT haha you crack me up
@denboy, I imagine "DJ Tanner" is taken?
@ceagee, yes!
@matthew taken by sitcom
@denboy,
@matthew, If you have the time, could you please consider a southern krunk mix?
@snapster, I was re-watching Shadow of the Hawke (Airwolf pilot episode) the other night.
my earballs hurt.
This is catchy. Enjoyed it. I agree with @shawn that it needs some more cowbell.
@matthew love the mediocreants term but consider myself more of a mediocretin (and not it's not copyrighted yet).
i like mediocrites
isn't mediocrites that greek fella that sold the first refurbished product?
You all forgot the "h" in your spelling: mehdiocreants, mehdiocretin, mehdiocrites.
It's hilarious that you can easily see the dubstep portion in the waveform.
Excellent! I can see myself grooving to this as I do my own creative writing endeavors.
Anyone else envisioning furry animals, robots, and dollar signs?!
Needs more weebls
@matthew, This one sounds like background music to a Monty Python sketch. I like it.
@matthew, tangerine dream meets porn
I wonder if the polar opposite hair style was a weighted factor in picking your replacement at the Other Internet Retail Concern.
needs more heavy...meh wants to head bang
