BeepBox.co. It is a place. A very GOOD place. It's a site that you've all been requesting I use for quite a long time now. The level of variety on BeepBox is honestly amazing for a free browser-based music maker. This was my first go after taking about 10 minutes to learn what I could beforehand, but I'd love to try something with it again in the future. Anyways, I went for another video game-style theme, because you know how much I love composing video game music! Anyways, join me and my terrible attention-span as I put something together in BeepBox. This is "I made a Video Game Theme in BeepBox.co" I hope you all enjoy!

"This sounds like going to a frog's house on a JRPG" has got to be one of my favorite Shady Cicada quotes.
It's so oddly specific but it's so right
I lost my shit when I heard that
@@jajararakoi8000 Same.
What about "cheeki breeki"?
@@godlypiggy Let's not forget about "I have a *t h i c c* horse" and "Jimmy will become a cumulojimbus"
This the type of song that plays when you lose one of your socks and start confusingly searching the house for it.
This is so oddly specific but it resonates within me so well
For real
Not relatable.
I just have more socks than I'll ever need. I usually buy two packs, which leaves me with an ability to lose a couple few pairs
true
“Hello everyone, and welcome back to another one of these” has become Shady’s intro and I’m here for it
only for these tho

Aw man, something about those xylophone chords in the background get me right in dat GOOD VIBE SPOT
13:35
AW MAN THEY BACK AGAIN
i really felt that only when you mentioned it ahaha
DUDE RIGHT??? I N E E D THAT FINISHED SONGGG
I believe the instrument is actually a kalimba, (At least the beepbox version is) its a set of tuned metal rods or thin plates attached to a resonator box, you play by using your thumbs to pluck the rods. They come from Africa and they're really cool.
@@Faebiebot I accidentally downloaded a kalimba app on my phone several months ago. I get on it from time to time though.
13:35 back with the vengeance.
This is literally all i use to make chiptune music, I love you. Although jummbox is a much better mod of this
I'll check it out then for sure! :)
@@Shadycicada
It's like Beepbox but on steroids, there's things to make an instrument with a custom waveform or full-on automation
@@Shadycicada Jummbox is extremely powerful for it being an online thing. You can make more than just chiptune and simple tunes. Such as this thing I made... tinyurl.com/Portal-Drive

"I don't even know what scale this is actually in"
It's (mostly) in locrian. Props for making something in locrian that doesn't sound like diminished nonsense lmao
Yeah, it sounds actually kinda chill.
I’m still waiting for our Mario paint remake...
Yeah! It's my favorite song.
So am I man, so am I
Other than earth shaker, that was one of the best on youtube
i feel u on a spiritual level
srsly, SHADY WHERE IS THE MARIO PAINT REMAKAMKEN OP HNIH 9o2it[ghbiEU HNgopeihgop\wgtNGOBid
Personally waiting for Unreality (song without hearing) but both would be sick.
This is so nostalgic for me. Beepbox was where I originally started composing music in the summer of 2016. It looks like a lot more features have been added since then though
it does, the recent (ish) 3.0 update added all kind of stuff. there's panning, new "harmonics" instruments, all kinds of presets, "spectrum" drums, you can select more than one pattern at a time (finally), there's more shortcuts, new stuff out the wazoo.
it's great.
So many cool features. When they added the instruments I went wild.
A LOT
jummbox is even crazier. join the server on discord. it's also on the Beepbox.co twitter
Holy moly the redone version sounds incredible
I haven't been this excited to hear the full version of a Shady song since the _last_ one
Kirbybirb same!
"It's a free browser based music- *thing*..."
Me: DID SOMEONE SAY FREE?!
Ahhh yes, my favorite instrument, the Angry Guy in Industrial Complex Beating up a Bucket. Very soothing.
You should try and make a remix of a song in one of the Legend of Zelda games. I think that would be funny
I've actually been considering this, funny enough :'D
Gerudo valley
underrated shady comment.
Today is the day. My prayers have been answered.
Dito
It's been all of our prayers
10:56 I hear that fighting spirit melody, Shady. I hear that
I really like seeing you make things in this kind of free stuff. It kinda shows how you can make something good in even open software
10:50 That leitmotif was also in Fighting Spirit! Ayyyyy
that second half reminds me of drawn to life, actually.
I see you're a man of culture as well..
In all seriousness I completely agree, literally exactly what I was thinking of before reading this comment :D
I got those exact vibes, glad to see someone else thought the same.
why do so many of shady cicada's songs sound like something out of drawn to life?
not complaining though, i love that game
edit: at 12:46 the xylophone part sounds like part of the boss theme in the second game
your videos have helped me find free music programs and realize that just because it’s free and sounds like crap doesn’t mean you can’t make something cool with it
"I'm not even sure what scale this is"
This is the chromatic scale so basicaly all the keys.
Thank you for this birthday gift Shady :’)
Happy birthday :D
HBD!
AAAA HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAN
Happy Birthday! :)
Happy birthday, bud! I hope it's a good one :)
The animated balloon guy always makes me think of the sub alert on streams so I half expected shady to say "you don't gotta do the thing" or whatever the saying is.
But damn this sounds great I kinda want to try to screw around on beepbox now
5:12 Saturn Valley alternative soundfont
12:33 when you're trying to make something and suddenly you get *the vibes*
12:34 best part for me
Yes dude! Ive been making music in beepbox for about a year now. Im so happy you made some music in it!
Ooooh boy the segment starting at 12:35 is so good, I know you said it's an older leitmotiv but it works super well with these weird wail-y notes (and the xylophone chords in the background around 12:49 are so powerful, like I'd go to a war with these chords !!) Really really good :D
The song is called "Fighting Spirit". I recommend you give it a listen, it's awesome
5:34
Sounds like the camera in Super Mario 64
This *SCREAMS* Final Fantasy VII
I do love me some swoopy boys, sounds very similar to your weird area themes 👀
6:44 The theme of incoming doom. (Solid final product! Can’t wait for the full release of the revamped version! Keep the vibe going Shady Cicada!)
It reminds me of the SNES a lot, especially Earthbound-y. Great stuff!
This gives me HEAVY industrial/cave vibes, perhaps an abandoned mining facility? I love the chorus melody too, gives me INSANE goosebumps.
Welcome to my world, shady.
I really liked this song, it was calming yet almost nerve wreaking at the same time. I'd compare it to being in a haunted house, the place is beautiful and there is much to explore.. but you can't help but feel a chill on thr back of your neck
The leitmotif gave me some mad Drawn To Life vibes and I love it
as someone who cant afford anything and therefore makes everything in beepbox this is a great video so far
Please I need this as it’s own video so I can listen to it on loop without having to press the timestamp everytime I enjoy this so much it’s just a bop man please I’m begging you I’m going to DIE
"John gun comes to shoot magnum sword"
What kind of an action movie is this?
An *epic* action movie
A fantasy action movie wheren't you lisening
@@eatingbreakfastrocks ah sorry my bad it looks like my ears are going deaf
John Wick 4
I think berd has made something like that.
few tips:
- you can drag up or down above notes to change velocity/volume idk which one but yes
- i suggest turning on everything from preferences menu
- you can change the ammount of instrument channels (6), instruments per channel (10), number of patterns (idk havent tested, probably just power of 2), and drum channels (3)
- you can click on a pattern and type in the number of pattern you wanna use (useful if you have over 10 patterns lol)
hopefully i didnt miss anything
Also:
- The entire song is stored in the URL, so you can save your song in a bookmark, or share them.
- There are some handy keyboard shortcuts. [C] copies the whole pattern and [V] pastes it into another one. You could use that in 4:05.
- There are very customisable 8-bit-style synths (square, sawtooth, sine, triangle, noise), which allow you to create NES- or GameBoy-like tunes.
I hope there will be a part 2! :)
@@tadeln yes, thank you, i completely forgot those even tho i use c and v a lot lol
I think this is my favorite video of yours for a number of reasons. you've got the raw shady brainstream nonsense that I quote to this day (whenever I hear low cinematic drums I still think of john gun and magnum sword). the software being used is both accessible enough for a big dumbo like me to figure out but also powerful enough to allow for things to sound cool. but the biggest reason I think, and I don't mean this in a bad way, is that for most of the video, the song doesn't actually sound that good. I often tend to hyperfocus on making every part of a song sound perfect as I'm writing it, but this video serves as a reminder that it doesn't have to sound perfect in the moment, because in the video once the song is fully together, the song sounds great despite none of the individual bits sounding that great in a vaccum. reminds me that it's okay to just do things even if they don't sound great in the moment b/c they might later, and I can always change them later if I need to, but it's not going to sound like anything until it's actually a song and not just some disconnected melodies. I hope this doesn't sound like an insult because the song and it's final version are both really good and I like them. I also like this video because using beepbox after seeing you show it off is what got me to actually start writing music. also I just want to mention that beepbox is actually a surprisingly really powerful program, like the synthesizers are so cool, and you can customize every aspect of them if you enable it in the settings and you can get some really cool sounds by fiddling with the settings. also if you press shift+r it generates a random entirely new instrument. how cool is that. that's awesome. I love just pressing shift+r and finding the wackyest sounds I can and doing stuff with them. anyways after learning how to use beepbox, I've managed to make some things I'm actually proud of, one of which I uploaded to youtube and I don't know if you'll ever see this but it would absolutley make my forever if you saw it, b/c you are probably the biggest inspiration for my music. idk I feel kind of weird for saying that. this is probably the most inspiring video of yours to me (I suppose it is measurably the most inspiring, because it actually inspired me to do things). idk this video is cool. sorry for the whole essay of youtube comment. have a nice day :)
Used this website in school once. Don’t remember a lot of the stuff you used here though, it’s a lot better than I remember
Awhile back they added in new instruments I'm pretty sure
There've been SO many updates with so many different features, it's nuts! I never thought it would become what it is today
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another one of these where: 1. I slowly suffer inside. 2. I try to make a thing in time. 3. I try to make a (X) theme in 10 minutes. 4. I never give you up or let you down or say goodbye.
AAAHHHH RICKROLLED
Beepbox is like the first daw I've ever used
Omfg when you turned light mode on i had a whole stroke😂
Bumping for that sweet Algo Rhythm!
Let's a go! - Super Shady Cicda - ( Mario ) 11:17 full version
This is very good, I sort of hear Star Wars' "The Force Theme" towards the beginning, just a bit.
11:37
May the force be with you !
John Gun vs. Magnum Sword sounds like such a good indie action movie idea
Im actually doing this now
Edit: its probably gonna come out spring 2021 but no promises ;-;
@Chill Bones this is why I should never make promises
Oh man, that remade version preview is amazing, can't wait!
Was not expecting my favorite song ever fighting spirit by shady cicada ™ to be a light motifs
Got me pogging yo
To make them continue playing over bars, you can take the left side of the second note (in the second bar) and pull it left till you see an arrow on it!
That little animation at the beginning Was sick😁😁👍
The final version is out and my cheeks hurt from smiling so much.
John Gun is my favorite character in all of Shady's stuff, but Villain-Chan is a close second
The ending bit with the leitmotif gave me Isaac vibes for some reason. Was pretty spicy
BeepBox is actually really nice for being a free browser experience and the instrument quantity and quality is actually amazing
in the almost 4 years ive spent using this site, this video has probably taught me the most important lesson
**volume balance**
i thank you
This is the kind of stuff that makes days. I'm really excited for the redone ver.!
Nice song! Ive been composing music for my game using beepbox and its honestly awesome and really easy to use
I use beepbox almost preferentially for my game, and it's so cool to see you composing with the same sounds I hear all the time.
Your on fire shady making some cool tunes this month and glad to see you enjoying your self. And your music.
Oh wow you can edit when the decay starts and when it stops in the fourth track, that's soo cool... Took me a while to figure out the controls though: you drag up and down from outside the note, that changes the volume at that point. One note can go quieter and louder again within its duration.
Edit: it's the white triangle in the grey block, I don't think you even saw that
And WTF you can edit the instrument, completetly select what frequencies you want and stuff like that, this is too good for a free website
6:55 - star wars
10:19 - astronomia
Edit: or at least, that's what I hear ._.
“Upon hearing this, I’m getting some kind of a cave vibe”
The last thing I heard before my WiFi cut out :/
You should try using flat.io. I use it to write my music.
6:55 that sounds like Rey’s theme from the force awakens (I think it’s Rey’s theme at least but I’m not 100% sure)
all of these videos are genuinely inspiring, it's really neat to see your process
That final song do be vibing
Caught ya' live
Edit: Since I'm so early I guess I could recommend a challenge to you.
Make a videogame theme using warioware diy.
Dunno if you've already done it though.
I haven't done that! That actually sounds like a fantastic idea. Thank you very much for the suggestion!
Beepbox is actually how I make all my music (and I have been for a few years) and it has really evolved recently. I think it's only had proper instruments for about a year, before that they just had beeps and boops.
JOHN GUN comes to shoot MAGNUM SWORD
Thanks for introducing me to Beepbox! I've been using it for hours upon hours these last two days.
yOOO ive been using beepbox since 2016 and its so nice
im rlly glad you're using it!!
Edit: modbox and jummbox are also amazing! since im broke af and cant afford any music programs, these are awesome alternatives and im able to easily implement the audio into my games.
Now this is a song I'm excited to see! (...hear?... Eh...) Keep up the great work, love it all!
I like the vid Shady! :D
Also you should get a shamisen
@@caznat8599 So many jippies to buy one :') but maybe one day! (I'm glad you liked the video!)
For the next April fools Shady should have his title be “Attempting to make a Video Game” and have it be an hour long rick roll.
YESSS
This is so good!!! I loved when the villain motif came in!
Oh my gosh this is amazing. This is video game music!! Im also excited for your game should you use this...hopefully your game comes to fruition
I’ve listen to the full song like 20+ times by now it’s sooooo good. Shady Cicada you did a wonderful job thank you!
I have used beep box before since about 2019, its somewhat feels like lsdj. (New suggestion: You try lsdg, Little Sound Dj, Youll need a gameboy emulator called bgb, and the game cartridge/ file can be found on the lsdj sound website. it is based on the gameboy controlls so you wont have mouse but you will need to use your key board to navigate, its a great small piece of kit.
I love using beepbox and it was fun to watch you learn new things as you went along!
For transitions, on the bottom right there's an option for smooth transitions vs hard or soft which is what you had on ^^
I hope that beepbox was fun to use! ♡
I never thought i'd be better than a professional at using a DAW!
I used to use this for music when all i had is a chromebook ;-;
Same bro. Same.
This is very nice. I've discovered Beepbox this week and I'm addicted haha. I hope to post more beepbox songs as I learn.
I love the animated gif!!
beepbox is amazing, i made tons of my beginner music with it
Hell yeah dude!
I used to use this site so much back in 2018!
It's cool to see that it can still be used to cool works like this!
Oooh, nice one! This inspired me to convert my recent Chrome Music Lab creations into something better than they could be on CML!
You should check out the beepbox discord. Lot's of talented people making dope songs there, and really utilizing beepbox's features. Also I suggest Jummbox, a really good beepbox mod that adds some quality of life features, plus cool additions like the mod channel.
Damn, that was good. Can't wait for that full version!
Also, it would be fun to see you try to make a song out of just LMMS stock plugins. Might be painful, but it would also be funny.
You doing these videos teach a bit more about music and i want to thank you for it :)
I love this one. The pitch bends make it.
We need to flood nintendo to get them to make Shady’s game
ive literally wrote millions of comments on super mario maker 2 saying "make the shady cicada game, nintendo"
Nononono
ANYONE but Nintendo, we all know they hate anything their community makes
Just watching this video what made me better at making music
That was a really fun video! Hype for the redone version!
AHHH I CLICKED SO FAST, I love your videos and I mess around in beepbox a lot so everytime you complimented it or even criticized it i was like YES, THEY KNOW
Finally, someone who shows off the simple glory that is BeepBox for all it's worth! Trust me, this thing has CHANGED in the four years I've been using this thing. I've been doing it for so long that it feels otherworldly seeing it recorded and not directly in my face. Almost like I'm watching a first-person documentary about my internet browsing habits? I don't know how else to describe it. WEIRD, man.
Also, I'm not sure if you've figured this out already, but at 6:22, you said you couldn't find a way to do that, right? Well, if you set the envelope to seamless (and do very, veeeeery short fade-ins at the start of each note, if you're insistent on the woodwind thing), you can get the ending note in pattern 1 to sound like it's merging with the starting note of pattern 2!
