The floor music reccomendation thread

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Whether a midi will sound good depends partially on your soundcard (since it uses your soundcard's stock instruments rather than actual recorded instruments) or on what soundfonts or samples you use in rendering them.

I tend to avoid midis when I can. Unless they are absolutely expertly done, they tend to sound pretty robotic.

So do many speaker systems where you'd be playing it!

Hi all,

I've seen numerous posts in random spots asking about floor exercise music, so I figure I'd make a new thread about my new company, Tunastics!

I have a 20-song Demo CD out and it's ready to send. Go to Tunastics Music - within a few days, all songs will be on sale via our webstore.

You can email music@tunastics.com if you want a Demo Cd, or I can send you actual demos through email (for a limited time Demos are free, so take advantage of it)!

I also do custom cuts of existing songs and custom originals based on your needs.

Thanks for reading, hope things are well and on a side note, NASTIA ROCKS!!!

Now I have seen *everything*.

In the iTunes store, if you search for karaoke, you can find lots of versions of songs, ranging in quality from not much better than tinny badly synthesized midi and stuff with "guide vocals" sung by people that would never make it anywhere near American Idol, to songs that are actually of better quality than you can get by trying to strip the vocals out yourself, if you're lucky. The 30 second clips aren't guarantees that you'll get no vocals, but can give you an idea, something to browse through if you're bored with what you find doing a search for "instrumental", anyways.

Or if you happen to be looking for the karaoke version of the "lumberjack song" in particular!

Yes, I found it. Looks like there's a couple versions, too!

ETA: Most are iTunes Plus DRM free format.
