Anyone Make Tunes On Trains?

[ComfiStile]

When fl comes out for Droid, I will be. 10 mins there and 10 back.well worth it haha

Basically, intercity / express trains are normally pretty stush and local / commuter trains are pretty shit. But almost everything in the southeast is commuter or local routes, so almost all the trains are pretty shit.

Back on topic, I commute on a bike, I wonder if I could get anything going on there...

itd be nice if the trainw asnt so crowded and if i had more time

I ride a train every morning and evening, only for 10 minutes tho. But when I've got meetings far away here in Sweden (Sweden is freakin long), I tend to make me some sounds and some sound designing. And also tons of presets But I never produce any full tunes, too much going on...

For real ?? (googles) Oh wow! This might make me want a Htc now ;] haha.. Always liked the Korg ms20 stuff for DS myself.


@ Cloak: no worries good tunes!

Not on a train, but I've made (or started/worked on, rather) music in restaurants in the early morning hours, midnight - 2 AM or so. Also in moving vehicles driving at night. It was an odd hobby for a friend and I for a while. At first we had a drum machine+MIDI sequencer, and later used a laptop.

I'm planning on going out alone on a boat this weekend after midnight with a laptop and some headphones. I just want to go a good distance out until I can't see evidence of humanity any more and then fire up a DAW and see what kind of music I make. It has a power source so I can plug the laptop in too. I'd like to take a couple of pieces of hardware instead, but it's too expensive to lose out there, just in case... (I've never driven/been on a boat alone)

That would be so cool, too bad my computer is an obese sonofabitch

wow wormcode, talk about adding abit of excitment to your music making process (and danger) sounds mental!

traveling all around europe at the moment with a euro rail pass, and whenever there is a plug-in at my seat i take the opportunity to make some tunes with my iPod Touch and BeatMaker. Wishing I had brought a laptop with Ableton...

How much was the pass?
Considering the same idea soon. ( Will take laptop with Abe )

the lack of audio programs on Android is what's keeping me from taking the plunge and getting a smartphone...someone at Google really needs to fix up that code...jerks.

Hahaha, it was fun! Honestly also pretty damn creepy, I had to keep taking my headphones off so I could hear what was going on around me. Next time I'm going to take some portable bookshelf speakers so I at least don't have to have headphones on the whole time. I really want to record some sounds out there too, there was all sorts of weird noises, distant foghorns, animals etc.

[captaincrazy]

haha yeah i've been doing this for the last couple of months as i have about an hour each way on the train every day
definitely more productive than sitting there staring out the window

On the tube? Don't think I could pull that one of. But I have to travel from London to Leeds/Manchester every so often and those trains are kushty for producing.

You realise Google doesn`t make the apps, people do, right?

I have to commute up that way too. Loads of plug points all over the place

I have about 8 tracks on my Korg-DS10.

Great for long journeys!
