What would the wrong reason be?

Band X writes a shit song for the sole purpose of making money. People want band X's music and it makes them happy to hear it, where's the wrong in that?

Band Y does it for money to feed their family and do what they love for a living at the same time. Is that wrong too?

How do you know if either band isn’t actually doing it for both love of the craft and the money? Or just for love of the craft plus they get money by pure happenstance? You dont know,and you will likely never know.

Why does it seem that money = wrong around here in chipsville? We all have day jobs right? We don’t do those jobs for the love of it and especially not for free, right? So why cant IFD do what they love AND get paid for it?

OR Are we all sellouts because we work for pay at our day jobs?

That may be so, but if that is truly the case why not be totally anonymous? Post your music somewhere with no reference to you for free. Otherwise, you are seeking attention.

I'm not trying to upset folks, its just I've studied this a long time. When you get to the heart of what is motivating people/artists, this is what you are left with. I'm sure most people are not usually conscious of it either.

Most artists (chip or otherwise) are promoting a product to obtain money, fame, or both. Whether you are doing it for money and/or for notoriety makes no difference. Otherwise if you were really "just doing it for the music and/or yourself", you wouldn't post it up in a public place with the intention of being discovered by people and hopefully shared. Because "its not about that" right?

Once you have posted your "product" in a public place to be seen/heard/etc you have "sold out" as much as anyone else.

I cant send anyone there willingly.

"It's basically just math. LSDJ's default groove is 6/6, which means each step is six ticks long. the first triplet is for a quarter phrase.

quarter phrase = 24 ticks (4 steps @ 6 ticks per step)
counted as 23 ticks (i'm counting 0 as the first tick because it makes the math easier to understand.)

so the four steps start on ticks 0, 6, 12, and 18.

for triplets at this groove, you need each of the three "steps" to last 8 ticks, which would be 0, 8 and 16.

luckily the delay command also counts in ticks

0 C3 ---
1 C3 D02
2 C3 D04
3 -- ---

check that out, its a triplet

that's because we're starting the first step at 0 ticks, the second step at 6 ticks + 2 delay ticks, and the third step at 12 ticks + 4 delay ticks.

for a half phrase triplet, you're fiting 3 steps into 48 ticks. 48/3 = 16 ticks per "step" . needing a note on ticks 0, 16, and 32. so if we put in

0 C3 ---
1 -- ---
2 C3 D04
3 -- ---
4 -- ---
5 C3 D02
6 -- ---
7 -- ---

we have one note on tick 0, one note on tick 12 + 4 delay ticks, and one note on tick 30 + 2 delay ticks.

incase you actually want to do a full phrase triplet it would be 96 ticks / 3 =  32 ticks per "step", steps needed at 0, 32 and 64

so that would just be

0 C3 ___
1 __ ___
2 __ ___
3 __ ___
4 __ ___
5 C3 D02
6 __ ___
7 __ ___
8 __ ___
9 __ ___
A C3 D04
B __ ___
C __ ___
D __ ___
E __ ___
F __ ___

0, 30 + 2, 60 + 4

here's the formula to remember for "on the go" or "experimentation"

(Ticks x Steps) / 3 = triplet length in ticks" thanx to HandHald Heros

How do you do a "D" command triplet?

That image is sooo awesome! Good job!
