How to compose like Toby Fox

I analyzed Toby's music... here's the backbones to his songs, and various Toby techniques! I included ways to get started with recording your music! Read more to see 👀

Battle themes

For the music Toby uses in his battle themes, he starts with a 1-2 measure long riff. He gradually adds in more instruments, looping the original track from the intro. A simple tune you can hum to. After adding in several instruments, he adds the bridge of the song. He removes the beginning melody and lets the background music continue for a measure. Then he slows down the song and keeps one instrument. After that he adds a buildup and changes the octave, or adds harmony to the final chorus. At the very end, he adds a finale that ties the beginning to the end of the song.

Background music

For the background music during exploring, he makes the songs easily "loopable" so the beginning fades into the end. He uses orchestra sound fonts and ambient noise. During emotional short cut scenes he uses faint opera vocals as well. Don't forget the random wind whooshing sounds.

Instruments used

Undertale mostly focused on chiptune synthesizers and 8 bit sounds. Toby branched out to orchestra instruments in chapter 1 of Deltarune, and emphasized his piano skills. In chapter 2, he fell in love with the harpsichord that he'd romanced many years ago in his homestuck side gig. Thank goodness he left the weird overused synth pitch bending in his past. Good grief, that was... creative. Toby's been experimenting with brass instruments, which makes sense. Toby played trumpet in jazz band during high school. After his work on Pokémon, Toby's music has become diverse, and each song has a unique twist. Working with other artists was definitely a great step for him! Don't be afraid to reach out to other beginner musicians and collaborate!

Making music like Toby

To make music like Toby... experiment! Create a long-term relationship with the harpsichord and mash notes together until you find yourself playing them over and over, nodding your head in satisfaction. You gotta quickly record the track and tweak it later so you remember what it sounds like.

Simple ways to record music

Music professionals will K1LL me for this one. Here's some ways to begin recording music without buying that 1999$ springo bingo synth board with the doodoofart pro vst producing sound bit 2000.

Using these tips, you can record and change sound fonts! Once you record your track, you can mess around with the sound on your recording device! That's how Toby has so many instruments 👀

Look up videos on YouTube about converting music into wav and mp3 files. Toby didn't know what a wav file was when he began music production! Don't be scared of all these fancy weird words. You'll catch on! There's no shame in going on the web for help. Music production can get very complicated with random errors and shit. (I have cried over my piano before) That's what reddit is for! Frustration is inevitable. Just take a deep breath and STAY DETERMINED. Even if you can't play piano? Watch tutorials and practice! Toby is self taught and doesn't write sheet music!

If you have an electric piano keyboard, you can hook it up to a computer with a cable that's easily found on Amazon. You can also use an iPad pro, hook THAT up and record it in a program like garage band. I recommend investing in studio one 5 on your computer! If you've got studio one... get a vocaloid software bundle and mess around with piapro studio 👀 add vocals!!! There's some cheap vocaloids out there! Toby's worked with some vocaloid producers in the past! Mess around and have fun!

Get creative!

The keyboard is your playground. Toby says that simplicity is important. He mentioned this in the annotations included on the sheet music that came with the undertale collectors edition. You don't need to go overboard with advanced shit to sound professional. Some of the best songs are simple and catchy!

Toby would want you to be kind to yourself and your hands. Be patient. Music takes time! Make your own songs and follow your own path. Create your own style so when people hear your music they know it's you!

Good luck!

Have you got any new VSTs recently? If so, which of them can you recommend?

tl;dr get the Korg M1 VST, it's 99 USD I started typing all of this and it turned out longer than expected, so that's why i decided to put the tl;dr on top If you'd like to read the full answer, then it will start bellow this line! _______________________________________ Hmmm, this is a hard one I recently got EastWest Hollywoord Pop Brass because i was lacking good trumpet/brass VST's, especially when it came to stabby stuff and higher frequency brass and trumpet sounds (this is especially important for stuff like JRPG battle themes for example) But i wouldn't say i have used it enough to properly reccomend it yet The Korg M1 Legacy collection, now /that/ is something i can reccomend in a heartbeat, it has all those cool Sonic Mania instruments, and far more than that too What i really love about the Korg M1 Legacy is that it compliments my primarily Roland (Touhou + many "classic Nintendo" sounds) and Yamaha (PS1 + Japanese visual novels + more) instrument "vibes" very well I feel like the Korg M1 instruments have a kind of "character" that some of my love for traditional Roland vibes (SC-88pro, SD-90, XV5080) lacks, but it's not like, the kind of lacking where it's emptiness, but more like, the kind of feeling where you feel like you wish it was "slightly different in this specific hard to describe way" Like....how do i put this... You know when you're listening to Titanic Monarch Act 1 from Sonic Mania and you hear those "cool bells"? Well, i feel like bells is something that the Korg M1 just does very differently compared to the Roland stuff i have, and Sonic Mania and Tee Lopes's music in general have really convinced me about the power of Korg stuff Oh, and his trumpets, they're really iconic, like REALLY fucking iconic, once you hear "the Sonic mania trumpet", you can never forget it, it's like how the ZUNpet makes the SD-90 iconic, the Tee Lopes trumpet, or, the "lopespet", is what really helps give that game's music, and the game as a whole, such a recogniseable and memorable idendity There's also of course Castlevania Symphony of the Night!!! Have you ever wondered where those cool organs from the Marble Gallery or those beautiful bells from Lost Painting where from? It's the Korg M1! Oh, and of course there's also Revo from Sound/Linked Horizon, i think he still uses Korg samples, even in modern orchestral productions, like those "anime sparkles" that he uses in almost every song in Bravely Default, well, that one is from the Korg Triton i think...? Or was it Korg Trinity...? Anyways, basically, i feel like Korg instruments are often underestimated in the general video game music world, they really have an interesting and unique vibe that can compliment a lot of existing VST/hardware collections This is why i reccomend the Korg M1, it's a good starting point, and contains many iconic instruments, its layering and editing options are also fun to mess around with, i didn't regret it for a second, even though it may get some time to get used to the interface, and i reccomend keeping a note app or piece of paper with you to write down your favourite presets, because it can be hard to find them again if you lose them

[wightsend]

I set out to make some hot garbage music and accidentally made one of the songs I've been most proud of in a long time. I have no idea where and when I downloaded half the VSTs I used in this song since I never use them. They're really niche, gimmicky and also bad. The most notable ones being, some Floppitron VST that I have no idea where I got, DSK brass for the "wubs", a free Mellotron VST, and of course FL Slayer (one of the worst electric guitar VSTs I've ever touched in my life)

so uhhh, yeah. I hope you enjoy this steaming pile of notes I made.

[lexosaurus]

What platform do you use for composing?

Currently, I use Logic Pro X for all my music stuff. My orchestra/brass samples are a mix from MusicalSampling, BBC Symphony Orchestra, and some other stuff here and there I've picked up. I'm not going to lie, much of these things cost significant money (minus BBC Orchestra and stuff like Spitfire LABS). I work as an audio engineer, so that's why I own this stuff.

When I was first starting out, I used Musescore, which is a free composition platform. I still use Musescore when working with sheet music. It's an awesome platform and it was recently overhauled to Muse Hub I believe? I poked around in it a bit when it came out, and it's gotten some great upgrades!

Idk if you're looking into starting at all, but yeah Musescore is great. If you're not interested in sheet music or scoring and would rather work in a DAW, there are free options as well like Reaper, Garageband (Mac), Cakewalk (PC), and im sure there are others out there. For samples, again Spitfire has some free VSTs (virtual instruments). BBC Symphony Orchestra is one, LABS has a bunch of awesome stuff, and if you're okay with paying a little bit, Spitfire has their Originals collection. I've used them in the past and they are great for the price!

So that's what I use and my recommendations if you were looking to get into composition. I pay for things now because I can, but there are tonssss of great software out there that's free if you wanted to give it a go!

[pixilator]

experiment with samples, remix idk

i was playing around with a breakbeat sample and wanted to use it on something >:]

bittersweet symphony: pixilator edition. is orchestral breakbeat a thing? idk

i own basically nothing. i just copied down the melody with violin and brass vsts

[i slowed it down too, i thought it sounded better]

for a beginner? it sounds kinda cool. feel free to give any tips / suggestions :]

[if there's a problem w/ me doing this in any way, i can take this down, just ask]

[itsjaypm]

toby fox guest composition thoughts

I like how whenever toby guest composes his tracks always stand out. like even if he's not arranging the final version, his style still shines through.

I also find it funny when a team lets what toby gives them be the final version unedited bc it often results in next to highly orchestral, expensive vst filled music, be cheap sounding brass and technically illegal orchestra soundfonts, DOUBLE FUNNY if he uses a game soundfont that is just SO ridiculous in my mind, especially for triple A releases like pokemon

ESLABON ARMADO AND PESO PLUMA - "ELLA BAILA SOLA"

Jacob brings us regional Mexican music's big pop moment...

[7.45]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: There are thousands upon thousands of words to be written about "Ella Baila Sola," the year of Peso Pluma, and the broader question of Mexican pop music in the American pop landscape that I frankly could not even begin to put together into this blurb -- because, frankly, I'd rather talk about "Ella Baila Sola" within its own singular context: "Ella Baila Sola" is perhaps the banger to end all bangers. It's nothing complicated; people have been writing incredible pop songs about having a huge crush on a hot stranger they saw at a party since the dawn of pop music (I read Bob Stanley's book on pre-1955 pop this year so I'm basically an expert on this.) But what shines through here is the genuine glee that Pedro Tovar and his boys have in the music. Each tripled-up guitar riff and stab of horns sounds so joyous and live that even a summer's worth of overplay can't quench it. The interplay between Tovar and Peso Pluma's vocals -- on opposite sides of the fine line between yearning and horny -- only adds to the thrill here; they're literally just some guys but in this particular moment, captured perfectly in the way that only a great pop song can, they reach some slight and passing transcendence. [10]

Wayne Weizhen Zhang: What a refreshing and left-field global phenomenon! In Chicago, "Ella Baila Sola" was our third most streamed Spotify song of 2023, and Peso Pluma was our fifth most streamed artist, so I've heard this on the train while commuting, in restaurants while deciding what to order, and in the park while lounging under the sun. Every time, the sweetness of the guitar strums and the playfulness of the trumpets have been felt like a reprieve from the monotony of the charts. [8]

Micha Cavaseno: The last couple of years, I finally made the bare minimum attempt to understand corridos as a style. Ultimately, my heart is always going to defer to my grandfather's Fania All-Stars collection when it comes to my own tastes, but I can appreciate the slightness and rootsy quality of these ballads. Peso Pluma's got that classic nasal bray that conveys far more character than notes could ever achieve, and the tone of "Ella Baila" is carefree in a way that implies a youth and freedom to offset the grit in the vocals. I suppose this is more of a reminder as ever as to the charms of a style you rarely get to think of in the greater pop context. [7]

Ian Mathers: Really enjoy the music, and Peso Pluma is clearly a charismatic performer, I just kinda hate his voice here. To the extent that if this was Armado solo I think I'd give it an extra point. [8]

David Moore: I am never confronted so completely with the limits of my monolingual, myopic cultural existence than hearing that brass section, no matter what strain or subgenre it is or how decisively it's crossing over into my corner of the world from speakers or Billboard articles. My appreciation never budges. It's like opera and statues -- I experience it and think "I'll bet that's really special to someone and I'm really missing out," and then hope that no one asks me to share my opinion afterward. Maybe I could take a class or something. [5]

Nortey Dowuona: The tololoche is the Mexican folk bass. Its name originated from the Maya names tolo for "bull" and loch for "embraced." Here's a picture of one from 1930; here's a link to go buy the strings. Yes it has 4 strings only. Here's a link to a VST of the instrument. If you are most handy with the computer, try that. But of the actual instrument, since a tololoche can have strings made from tungsten, nickel or steel and can go for at least $1300, if you're a beginner I'd advise to get one ASAP. Now, you'll have to play for about four years and write songs for three before you make a song as good as this one, but since this is gonna be a thing for the next decade, get on it before Peso Pluma moves to Barcelona. Good luck! [10]

Katherine St Asaph: What about this particular song made it blow up at a scale that regional Mexican previously hadn't? Variety had a feature about it, but nothing they described -- exclusive tech deals, influencers, general hello-fellow-zoomers --seems any different from anyone else's record-label rollout. The song is nice but doesn't really make many pop concessions. Freaky Trigger ran an article last month on "the rainbow of new stories" of the charts; it's probably the coherent version of whatever I might make of this. [6]

Brad Shoup: Listening to Eslabon Armado's earlier stuff really makes clear how much juice they gave this. When it became a smash I thought it was fine, a pop corrido; I wish they'd gone full sinaloense and let the brass wail. In the context of the group's career, though, it hits a little different. What sounded like a nagging pop topline now sounds like Jeff Buckley, which makes everything an additional degree of ersatz, which is a really interesting place to be. [7]

Crystal Leww: I grew up in Texas surrounded by Mexicans, specifically, so Spanish language music wasn't as much reggaeton or dembow or bachata but instead music that sounds like "Ella Baila Sola," heavy on the guitar and the horns and less on the doom-ca-ca! This is music that is instead made for twirling your girl in and out of a closed hold position, but like, more casual and more sweet than stuffy. Hearing this conjures up fond memories of the smell of the grill in the park now, the sight of the cooler full of Corona and fruity, sugary sweet drinks, and the families from young to old sitting around on foldable chairs as music blares out of a speaker somewhere. [6]

Alex Clifton: I'm pretty much sold on anything that features twelve-string guitars and horns. Throw in a lovely, lilting melody and I'll be dancing all day. [7]

Tara Hillegeist: Probably the single sexiest song I have ever heard about a woman dancing all by herself since Robyn's "Dancing On My Own". Not that there's much competition, but the trombone on this -- it makes me swoon. [8]

Unless I'm mistaken, you've talked about digital music writing/composing before. Do you have any virtual instruments/VSTs that you really like? Do you have a favorite MIDI soundfont?

yeee i have !! sooo i don't do a lot of full compositions by myself where i'd write the music and also design all the soundscapes and patches and tones and essentially create the performance (perhaps the key difference between this and writing any kind of notated score).

but i've used a few fun VSTs for quick demos or getting great classic keys patches and bascially all the Arturia V stuff is fantastic. everything they've modelled is beautiful. the UAD Electra 88 is a stunning and versatile rhodes option (if you get the velocity sensitivity set right), but again all UAD stuff is incredible.

I haven't done much w/ MIDI soundfonts but there is a beautiful strings one that makes writing stuff in Sibelius actually bearable (though i use Musescore for notation and their defaults are actually half decent for that).

there's a gorgeous series of plugins that has so many different versions of strings in all configurations, brass, wind, tuned and untuned percussion, weird effecty stuff, you name it. i think it's the stuff Spitfire Audio do ?

idk if much of this is any help xD recently most of my time in DAWs has been tracking stuff from my Nord.
