here's something i've been working on. i hosed up the third verse while streaming but thats ok, i can fix it in editing https://www.twitch.tv/videos/585570136 my goal is to get the midi data recorded and then start finding the actual synths I want. I'm not thrilled with the lead synth, it's just a stand-in, but I do know the key and melody that I want at it's core so I figure I get that down and then start swapping in software synths and changing settings until I find something permanent

echinopsis posted:what is polyphonic after touch? is it just when the synth registers after touch individually for each key pressed? i recently came across this channel and it's good. seems to be a step up from 8bit guy/8bit keys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNaMv9CAuPg KoRMaK fucked around with this message at 17:28 on Apr 25, 2020 |

Jonny 290 posted:id rather have four little 2 octave controllers with pads and knobs than some big fuckoff 88 key that i wouldnt be able to Play play anyways You really only need like 16 pads if you want a drum interface. Not 64 like the one I got, but I'll use that for other stuff rather than drums

Wow, interesting. Yea I mean for $100 the rack seemed interesting. I have fl studio producer which comes with a bunch of poo poo so it's always hard for me to tell if I have a plug-in for an effect or if it's worse or better than the other one. But at first glance, $100 for the rack seems low risk and intriguingly useful.

that's a good find 290, a buddy had one of those and it was heavy. Lol at least you have a soldering iron. I just had to make a couple cord pruchases cuz old cords somehow had a short in it, but it was 3.5mm headphone for my ekit drumset. I have hordes of 1/4 cables now tho, same with picks.

It sounds great, really textured, and I can hit metal-y highs and artifical harmonics and transition into crunchy lows by just playing along the fretboard. its beefy tho, the mixer is liteally mounted to the pedal board. i should replace the 10 channel one with a smaller one lol

ohhh, yea I'm way past that, I assumed we all were but that was presumptuous of me. Echi if you're new you should definitely mine the gently caress out of that kvr site for free plugins, they are really useful. I just used it to try a couple organ plugins (of which most had broken download links or just didn't work inside the vst host.... But that's nbd cuz it's worth the time to find the ones that do work for free)

i made a thing and recorded myself making it to upload. this way i can share my settings and also share my sound. im tryin to get an organ sound that will be my goto organ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tyXXQGnXQI theres a plugin thats not rendering properly on the screen capture, but here's the screenshot of the basic settings. its just a fuzz box, its a free one too, fuzzpluss3  inspired by the sounds on this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG7zEC74iHE what i found is that its got to be well placed flange and some distortion to beef it up, and then some eqs to balance it out, and compression. still a wip but im ready to roll with it for some other stuff

cross postin from the pics thread... the top 3 things to get if you've never played guitar before are 1) the chord wheel book 2) guitar chods encyclopedia (the short fat spiral bound one) 3) guitar pro (tab software) and use ultmate-guitar dot com to get tabs from https://www.guitar-pro.com/en/index.php   Along with constantly learning, practicing, and doing exercises using scales and rudiments or whatever, and learning your fretboard, use the above to learn songs that you like and then do a little analysis of how they are connecting together This also helped me alot to get my speed up - Shred is Not Dead the dvd is super helpful, make sure to get the one with the dvd https://www.guitarcenter.com/Alfred/Shred-Is-Not-Dead-Guitar-Book-and-DVD-1273887985496.gc  Vintersorg posted:I missed guitar chat but here’s mine!! only been seriously playing for a year now but it’s tons of fun but i did just get the electronic drumkit, and the existing guitars serve me well so... i guess i wont rush it but its definitely back on the radar

echinopsis posted:I’ve been playing since I was 14 and was in church bands for years so chords were a huge mainstay, although we did gently caress all interesting chords, and the trend at the time was to play heaps of chords as open as possible, if that meant it was a sus2 or sus4 so be it, make as many open strings ring as much as possible so the chord progression sounds somewhat “nice” but also difficult to discern https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEWQNKbXHQk

nice, yea it does do that but I think it still says something worthwhile before dunking on some nerds. the takeaway I got is figure out if you are going up, down or staying the same tonally from an objective hz perspective -thats the basic thematic core of your chord progression, kind of like telling a story, and it relates to the actual objective hz of the tones your hitting: up, down, or stay the same. And the takeaway is, don't muddle that up by using chords that are technically in the key, but have frequencies that are too high or too low or grouped poorly. Instead look for the version of that chord that works within the frequencies that work with the chords surrounding it on the progression. So, like an E/C chord rather than just a C open or barred chord KoRMaK fucked around with this message at 05:06 on May 6, 2020 |

Post a pic of the bridge from the front and the spring chamber If I had to guess, I would say you probably have your spring screws cranked all the way down into the wood or something. Did you only have two springs back there?

Trashman posted:I’m thinking bout getting an electronic drum kit so I can learn to play the drums while stuck in lockdown, good idea / bad idea? I know nothing about music theory I just think it would be fun and I like to drum on things all the time anyway... I did it like 4 weeks ago, during lockdown, and it's great!! I got the alesis Nitro mesh kit for like $370 + tax and a book called "a funky primer" - deffo recommend. For the price the set is fantastic and will probably give me enough play for years. It's got midi out and crap too and the hi hat and kick drum feels good I think I'm going to get a swing pattern book next Do it!

Trashman posted:I was looking at the Alesis Nitro Mesh or Roland TD-1k (cause it looks more compact to store) but maybe the mesh pads are worth it... I was a drummer in high school concert and marching band, and then went guitar, but my point is that I have some experience with knowing what real kits feel like and stuff and the Nitro mesh specifically surprisingly good feeling. I also did some researching before hand and it regularly shows up at the top of the list, being compared to much more expensive Roland kits and stuff. The stick bounce feels pretty natural and stuff, it also lets you get your muscle memory built up and just feels good cuz it feels like a real set as opposed to a pad, which I also looked at. Using my feet and crossing my arms and swinging around was essential to me. But, if you have the money and stuff, maybe go for the Roland or Yamaha $700+ range or $1200 if it's a thing you are sure about https://www.electronicdrumadvisor.com/best-electronic-drum-set/

sounds like you need all 3 bruther  but id go with whatever makes hooking up/recording/experimenting with guitar poo poo the ez-est pz-est it can be right now. minimize that barrier of entry for yourself and see how long you go before u need to re-up on something else. getting decent midi drum tracks to play along with is easy e: critical update - logic pro is apple only eh? i committed to fl studio a couple years ago, and am a windows person. i might migrate to ableton live eventually, but fl studio is kind of like a frontier of programming and competeing with ableton live performance mode stuff so i want to see how far i can make it go.

See now that's verrrrrry interrrrresting to me. Before the ekit purchase, I wanted to make my own kick drum out of a spare acoustic kit kick and some sort of trigger, but I couldn't find any simple midi triggers with velocity. I stopped short of making my own, but a board like that and knowing how to use it both being in my possession will probably be beneficial later. I think you can even make a trigger using cheap pizzo microphones

Finally, after a couple hours of loving around, got custom colors on the launchpad working. Love operating in this realm of low documentation, it merges so many of my interests! I also hosed around realmhard with OBS studio and got it so I can do Google Hangouts while streaming cam video and my daw screencasted. Gonna make a video of what the hell I'm using the launchpad and it's custom pads for this weekend with it all.. gonna combine some music theory and midi programming

i took a project as far as i think i can take it creatively for now, so i decided to polish it up and make it a bit production ready, render it down to mp3, before i put it on the shelf https://soundcloud.com/macro_bulk/pg-8-x86_a_02 something seemed off about the mix at first when i pressed it to mp3, but i bumped the bitrate from 192 to 320 and it sounds waaay better, nearly the same as when i hit play in my daw. when i make fl studio play the project live it sounds fuller. its like the sounds are cutting each other out, like an auto mix is going on or something. here's the stats in case anyone wants to play along code:

I started reading around to check out insta-chord, scale and midiq, which lead me to scaler (and the upcoming scaler 2) and it seems like they have a big overlap, and now I dont know which one to get. gah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGVrscdVZm0 if you buy scaler 1 right now, you get a free upgrade to scaler 2. and its only $50. so... im really torn on which to get now, the insta-/midiq bundle for $20 or scaler for $50 and then scale2 after as a free upgrade KoRMaK fucked around with this message at 15:14 on May 18, 2020 |

you know all the music theory that you gotta keep track of? This app seems to help automate some of that memorization part and lets you just focus on what sounds good with regards to harmony, melody, and diatonic balh blah blah. It's as if you have a session player sitting in with you can you can say "oh, can you give me something sort of... jazzy in the key of, uhhh... B major, focusing on the first the 6th and the 7th chords" and then it does that and randomizes it OR plays it according to certain patterns (that may represent your own playing, like arpeggios but personalized) and stuff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tbFgWrDk9E ok so, after watching this i think im taken midiq off the list. It looks like a baby's toy - using shapes instead of telling me like the actual music theory? scaler seems to offer the same and better functionality with a better interface if you care about learning what you're actually doing and wanna self analyze

hey here's a dumb question that is so dumb and obvious i feel like im missing something I want to arpeggiate with my keyboard and manipulate the arp pattern live. FL studio lets you do this to a degree, but I want the added ability to pick which notes to play. For example: If I am holding down the tonic, I want to arpeggiate a major triad from that tonic, then maybe, i want to move up to a maj7 arp staying on the tonic, but only use the 1st, 3rd and 7th and omit the 5th from the pattern in order to keep it a 3 note pattern. FL studio doesn't allow me this level of customability in their channel arp - you can switch the chord you are arpeggiating but not how many notes in it. Is there a plugin out there that does this? I found this thing called blue arp and it got almost close, but I can't switch the pattern using a midi controller and that's a non-starter for what I'm looking for. e: ugh, im an idiot and just figured it out. Rather than holding down 1 key and telling it to arp off of that, I can hold down any amount of keys to make my own chord and it will arp those. Cool.
