To whomever was messing around with the woodpecker beats. Here's the cover we used it as a intro for. https://youtu.be/iAoFSx1gMTQ

How do you make drum patterns in weird time signatures? I'm most used to doing them in 4/4, and when I try to do it in other time signatures, I can never get them to sound like they're properly looping.

I reckon you need a rhythm listen to “day I tried to live” by sound garden. it’s 7/8 then 8/8 in the main riff but it doesn’t feel “out” at all. the bassline dominates and makes it flow or the intro riff to “jimmy” by tool. it’s 3/4 + 3/4 + 4/4 (or however you want to break it down, 6/8 then 4/4) but once again isn’t obviously broken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbckIuT_YDc&t=34s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSvdbCDZ5UY echinopsis fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Sep 8, 2022 |

“you again” by shihad is such a sick heavy riff and it’s in 3/4 it owns hard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhjaNaHbWk4 echinopsis fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Sep 8, 2022 |

But you can also google your time signature's claves to get a feel for how it is usually accented.

It's also that on some level, part of the appeal (if you will) is that they do feel "out", on purpose. well for some of it anyway

Pink Floyds Money is great for getting the feel for 7/4, it actually feels most natural to count out as 1-2-3-4-5-6-7. Ditto for Take 5 for 5/4

man, this was hard to find, but it gives a pretty simple demonstration of how the two bar phrase works with a score so you can follow along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ1wQ3I_g_Y&t=1048s

jesus WEP posted:7/4 always has a nice feel to me, like you’re being pulled forward into the next bar. i love the feeling of forward momentum you get from it the toadies are a chronically underrated band and they did that neat thing where they'd drop the last beat every fourth measure or whatever. it is so good at keeping your ears perked and doesn't sound clumsy at all

this weekend i figured that hey if musicforprogramming and ultrawizardsword come in podcast format, and are listed on apple podcasts, then why should our podunk krautrock streams be any less, and turns out it's fairly straighforward to set up, so a few hours and 100 lines of python later, here we go https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/telecharger/id1644613931

i spent a lot of time yesterday trying to figure out why my new (from goodwill) mixer was suddenly making everything lovely and crackly then i realized it wasn't the mixer, it was my td3. so i spent a lot more time troubleshooting it it turns out that when the td3 is behind the mixer (probably bc it's close to the power supply), it gets some RFI that makes it sound bad. if I put it in front of the mixer, it sounds fine. if i have it to the front of the mixer _and also to the right_, it sounds bad again. so it just lives in front of the mixer, and it's slightly harder to get to my little keyboard (but not so hard that i wont be able to continue messing with it during meetings)

the focusrite line of interfaces is good; i use one and music sounds great. it's probably overkill to get one if you don't care about input though. but i can't think of too many times i'd want a dac that a little headphone amp wouldn't work just as well anyway almost nothing that's USB is going to care what's on the other end of the cable, small exception for stuff that's weird wrt. usb 2 vs usb 3 but even that's pretty rare when you aren't talking boot devices (though I've seen some fuckery with ISP flashers)

The focusrite is completely adequate as a device but distorts digitally and badly at high gain; the Volt’s onboard compressor yields analog-sounding crunch instead through some software black magick.

pianoteq is modeling, its pretty nice and i especially love the wurlies and that type of thing. the pianos are good too although i don't use them much. the trial version works for 20 minutes with some disabled notes so that's pretty much enough for some experimentation

new toy:  the cone/spider/bridge are trash so i gotta replace them (which is going to cost more than the guitar did), but after that it should sound pretty good. the body is nice and resonant and it didn't go out of tune during shipping on a cold rainy day.

Decided it's about time I start rebuilding my setup. Got a Virus C and an Electribe sampler on the way, waiting on a power supply for this TR-8 and seeing if I can get this TB-03 off my buddy who's downsizing, should be a pretty versatile kit all things considered. Gotta figure out how I'm going to handle sequencing it all and get all the cables routed, but looking forward to getting back in the mix on this poo poo.
