stockwave is no joke

Personally, I don't see how this genre is going to result in a cohesive sound/style, when the pool of sounds being used is massively heterogeneous and all types of processing are allowed.. (and THEN we're supposed to forcememe LSDJ on top of it?) Going on name alone, I was imagining a genre restricted to yamaha portasound presets.

i hear ya- stockwave is not going to, and is not necessarily meant to maintain a cohesive sound- even in the submissions i have already gotten they are pretty different. real stock music itself is diverse, and you can find stock music in almost any genre.. the point is to sort of emulate/reference that stock feel/aesthetic while injecting your own flavor and style into it.

the "lsdj forcememe"ing is really only because this is a chipmusic site and people are to "inject their own style" into it (^)- there could be a metal themed stockwave collab, a ska themed stockwave collab, whatever- but i made it a sort of chip themed collab so that it wouldn't be out of place on cm.o smile

i think ilkae might have just misunderstood something, it's no sweat. the "light jazz" and "easy listening" aspects of skweee could share some similarities with stockwave tho.

edit: i misread your post to say that skweee is based on light jazz/easy listening- whoops!

stockwave tracks generally take very little time and effort to produce


you're right, i totally misunderstood.
i explained it to a friend and he thought it was genius.

no problem! i'm glad your friend liked it!
and tell me what i'm looking at here- is this your own track??

a note: if you would try and make sure that your track's format is compatible with bandcamp's standards that would be the bomb! i assumed bandcamp accepted any kind of .wav but apparently they don't accept 32kHz .wav files. here are the requirements!

sleepytimejesse, welcome. i'm a big fan.

uh, i think you guys might want to google 'skwee'

like i said with plunderphonics.. any similarities in sound between skweee and stockwave are coincidental- the philosophy and source material are very different. so while i can see where you're coming from, i also don't! heart

radOS's track is def stockwave- it's the kind of stock music you'd actually pay $1.99 to get royalties for, hence the presence of the audio watermarks; therefore it falls into one of the many subgenres of stockwave: watermarcore, which typically (though not always) has higher production quality (but which also has watermarks) than the publicore stockwave from artists such as dreamstock.com.

great work radOS!!

i spent 42 minutes on something and it follows the rules of the compo but i don't think it sounds stock enough, how can i make it more stock? is fakestock frowned upon?

jeff's advice is great! i want to hear it :3
