Yet another Windows XP song
54Here's another one of the many "Windows (XP) songs" on YouTube. But that's not a bad thing, right? Because each and every one of them (maybe a few exceptions) are great! I think you'll find you like this one, too. The way I made this one was by creating custom patches/samples on the HALion virtual (VST) instrument. I imported all of the sound effects I would need from the (computer I was working on's) C:\WINDOWS\Media folder and upconverted the WAV files from 16 bit to 32 bit. Then I placed each sound I needed on a patch, and the more percussive sounds each went to their own key on patch. All the sounds you hear come from Windows XP or 98. (The Windows 98 sounds are the "Ding" on a "G" and the "Ta-da!" sound.) Everything else is the "GrooveAgent" drum track I used.
Because I'm not much of a songwriter (original songs by me) I again chose to do a medley/remix/cover. I used five songs in this project. (It was my fifth assigned project, by the way.)
I'm not going to tell you the names of the songs (I want you to guess), but I will tell you the songwriters, since I feel obligated to do that anyway:
Song number ... Composer(s)/writer(s)
1. Lalo Schifrin
2. Dan Forden
3. Me (myself)
4. Kathie Hill and Janet McMahan
5. Phil Vischer and David Mullen
6. Public Domain (as far as I can tell)
Next from me: a few other projects I didn't have to do.
