Hey audio friends! Check out my new album, produced in my home studio. It's not generic garbage, trust me. I think you'll like it: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cthreep/karma-harm

[@GuiFreitasP]

This is a whole new concept of lo-fi music!

[@cThreep]

Full recording studio for $70, y'all. And it's very colorful and comes with tons of cool instruments.

[@uditjoshimusic]

C-Threep Music Ya its great

[@jakeseitzomegareddrums557]

$70! That’s kinda ridiculous but still cool

[@NoemisDad77]

I have more time on it than my little one does!😂

[@bryacinth]

Anyone else get Super Mario 64 vibes when he brought the pan flute in? Great job man!

[@Anthonydmusic.21]

Bryan Riddle yesss!!!!!!

[@cThreep]

I realized a little too late that the flute sound is basically the same sound as the file select screen on SM64. I need to jam that tune out now.

[@SlyHikari03]

Yes.

[@ZohondeKids]

The steel drums sound like Super Mario World.
(And yes, I know your comment is old)

[@awsomeangus2480]

Yeah

[@Pinwormx]

I’m holding up a lighter with tears in my eyes. Bravo!

[@mjgarratt]

Mixed in with some conventional instruments this could be great... pretty much what Beck did for Guero.

[@cThreep]

You're on to something there. It could be cool if done right.

[@mjgarratt]

C-Threep Music my favourite part is the first melody that starts after the bass line, melancholic but with a hopeful twist as it loops.

[@MalikGreenfield]

I'm currently 21, and man, I remember having this thing and playing around with it quite often, usually recording music, along with random stuff from the mic onto the little "MP3" player it came with, along with seeing what happened if I were to hold the mic close to the speaker, which would produce feedback, of course. It was quite fun to play with and could've been a useful tool in my practicing and/or making music in my later years until it started to glitch out and break eventually. Having a toy black and blue flying V-styled guitar/keytar with red and orange buttons, along with having this thing, I would say, had some form of influence in me eventually learning how to play guitar, starting from having Torino Red Squier Strat my uncle gave to me, and being fortunate to have it repaired and be taught how to play by a neighbor years later, still jamming to this day. I also noticed recently how you could also convert one of those echo microphone toys, which I had when I was younger (either broken or given away to charity), into a useable microphone using a Piezo disc, along with having a guitar jack to hook it up to your recording software to record while having a built-in reverb effect. Also, that part towards the end (from 2:06-2:35) with the guitar, synthesized violin, and the pan flutes in that demo song you recorded really captured my interest, as I'm into the synth sound, and with the pan flutes, sounded quite exotic, as indicated by that mischievous grin you flashed, haha!

[@zachmusic4511]

I actually thought some of the sounds would be usable in a dense "normal" song! Haha

[@doyi984]

Agree! The sax was ambience bliss!

[@DreErdna]

Hahahha when u buy your daughter a toy but end up stealing it back Hhaha

[@samjohnson8994]

That was better than some pros lol! Keeping it real as always Chris!

[@dutoitar]

[@aaronzach2877]

I finally found this video thanks keep it up. Hope your doing well Merry Christmas!

[@GregoryDenis-mq1km]

It's entertaining just watching you play my first studio

[@FoxBlocksHere]

This sounds like a never-before-heard Jack Stauber song

[@David-yl6bc]

The vintage V-Tech that Jimi Hendrix used 1950 was way better than these new ones!

[@moved1885]

My music playlist:

[@tristanfoss7469]

Somehow, the terrible audio and instrument quality actually adds to the song instead of taking away from it.

[@lodougherty]

This was awesome. That was a really cool song too!

[@cThreep]

Thank you!

[@gonzalesa82]

Seriously! I would buy the song.

[@OldBloxycube]

Why does the bass sounds like a person was saying yo with his bad vocoder.

[@OldBloxycube]

@Animatronic Academy thank you Animatronic Academy.

[@volunteernwowoodchipperope6588]

Hahaha I was thinking the same thing. Excellent video and great demonstration of the possibilities.

[@Mephone4isfunny]

Funny

[@GeekDetour]

C-Threep, pleeeeease, tell us the truth: How much time to make this song!???

[@cThreep]

Hmm...I wrote it and recorded it at the same time, so there was a fair bit of trial and error to come up with an idea that I liked. So maybe 3 hours total?

[@maxgemstone7257]

Geek Detour You the guy of the Blue Yeti video? With the psa1 and the radius

[@cThreep]

That's him!
