Google 'Massive Crack' and it's the first thing that comes up.


As you well know, my copy of Massive is legit ;)

OllieScott wrote:Something that always takes me a while is naming a song. Becomes easier if there's a vocal sample in there, because unusually I can just name it after that. But when the song is just instrumental, I can never think a interesting name for it.

Anyone got any tips for this?
Just come up with a story about the track in your head. I.E. some alien/robot/monster/spaghetti deity destroying the land, and then name it something completely different than that.

I would probably have named that tune Circuit Failure.

My english teacher gave me a weird look when I mentioned that as the musical instrument I played. Like the wtf stare. I had to give her the 'wiki wiki' dj motion to confirm what i meant.

This. Often mine have really dumb names, such as "Hoedown on Your Grave"
My working titles are even better, with classics such as "Peacock dick", "Badger clunge" and "I raped a sock"

i want to start using that flash animation to name my songs but i cant find it.

it was just a black screen with 6 boxes, in each of the boxes words were flashing by and when you clikced it, it stopped and landed on a word, and the outcomes were always funny, anyone know what im talking about?

I use to name songs but I dont see the point.

That is the final thing, the move I make right before my shit gets put on the shelf, or website lol.
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

Without lyrics, come up with the name based on the vibe of the track. Thesaurus.com helps.

Watch movies or anime, read books, comics, manga, whatever. Listen to music with lyrics. Jot down interesting words and phrases you hear.

Don't put too much effort into it. At the end of the day, it's just a name.

Generally i name my projects fjdwjcirkm-like, but it's real pain in the ass going through 200 projects named like that, so i name it after firat thing that comez to my mind and rename it later. The result is pretty nonsensical usually
