I used to find it difficult naming my tracks. I didn’t want to give away the sample I used *ahem* and I also wanted it to be interesting. Eventually, I made a list of hundreds of random titles and dip in as and when I need them.
But for a lo-fi producer, there’s a reputation to uphold. You’ve foregone the standard conventions of the English language; who needs a vowel, right? That’s where these text converter tools come in.
The first one is Vowel Remover from Togglecase. Enter your text in the text box and click Convert To Vowels Removed Text! So long unnecessary vowels. But you might still have capitalisation at the start of every word. That’s no good, you’re meant to be non-conformist. Enter tool #2.
Convert Case lets you convert your text to all lower case, all uppercase, and SpOnGeBoB cAsE (or in reverse). After you’re done, you might consider adding one or two vowels in so your tracks are readable. For example, I added all 151 Pokemon from the first generation of games and Eevee became v.
Case Converter also does the same thing along with a ton of other character changing tools including mirror text, reverse text, and a fake word generator if that’s your thing.
Of course, you can use these for producer names too or replace the missing vowels for congruent symbols (Δ instead of A) or punctuation. If you give either tool a try, let us know what you came up with in the comments.
Word of caution: be aware that changing text to use special symbols can be difficult for people to read if they use screen readers as those names won’t sound like they appear to be written. Scope has a great article on this with examples of how this could sound. It’s cool to be different and unique in your music but that it’s even cooler to be accessible to everyone who wants to engage with you as an artist and that starts with your name.
