Someone more knowledgeable please comment, the beginnings of notes sometimes have a thump or click that should pick up on your lows knob. It is not a heard sound as much as something you feel and see in a spectrum analyzer, you will notice if it's gone.

Also, underclock for actual low notes.

Don't use Microsoft Songsmith to write harmonies.

I agree with this statement quite a bit, as most blues and country types won't change keys besides gear shifts, so it's about what you listen to, your musical culture.

For those who are ready;

No matter how complex your notes, there are only four functions in harmony: tonic, dominant, subdominant, and transitional. Regardless of how you make your notes or how consonant they sound, your song will still follow those for functions, even if you define a tritone stack or flat ninth as "tonic." Once you understand this, there are no rules.

It is also permissible to drive tension by a means other than harmony, such as rhythm, lyric rhyme, or outright storytelling. Just something to think about.

If OP understands harmonic theory words, please name a song and maybe we can help analyze.

Very true about emotional output; using theory as formula is easy to detect, isn't it?

It doesn't even have to be live if you string a bunch of PVs and make episodes with regularity.

Live is a plus, though.

Use volume commands/envelopes, if you double notes with detuned pitches and mess with pulse widths while the notes play you'll get more life to the sound. Practice on a virtual synth if you don't want to try a tracker yet.

I decided to have a look at the Graveyard because I was curious to see how many of those threads are really and truly off topic, only to discover that our most recently closed threads haven't been put there (yet.)

So next, I went to General.

I looked for threads that prove an OT board would solve the problem (if I'm understanding) that junky threads keep getting bumped, so I categorized the closed threads from the first three pages.

Topic was resolved, but people got way silly:
"Someone please inform me, what is brk"
"What do you kids do liver"
"Chiptune is dead"
"New to this website"

Topic was open-ended but drifted:
"Is it worth spending time on a song"

Actual troll thread by poster who is probably suspended or banned:
"Blip Memorial thread"
"Melody driven chip" (the Lazare thread)

Closed for being a duplicate thread on the wrong board:
"File not found"

That was the first three pages of General Discussion. I'm sure you can all investigate the others if you want (and I may later since I really wanted "how do I drop the bass" to end up in the sort,) but it's enough data to make a mini-point. 5 out of 8 closed threads were closed because people kept bumping them with silliness. If I did the counting and math right, 73 out of 81 of those threads are still open, the sticky ones aren't counted.

If you participated in the silliness in those threads, why? Would an OT board really the thread from getting out of hand? My personal answer is, I don't know.

If you are a person who legitimately asked the question, "How do I make a drop in LSDJ?" and you saw an OT thread start up making fun of the guy who had the audacity to ask how to drop the bass, how would you feel? When I think about it that way I'm a bit embarrassed at some of my own thoughts about the thread, as ridiculous and basic as I though the topic was at the time.

Like the road to Hell, I have good intentions. Do what you want with that info, I'm sure stuff will happen.

Edit with content: This is still the only board I visit that doesn't have an OT board.
