Re: Musical experience? (33 replies, posted in General Discussion)
There's another thread about this where people go on and on about their musical experience or lack thereof somewheres on here...
I get my experience from having experiences.
My musical experience prior to chippystuff was piano lessons, choir, noodling around on instruments... etc

But perception alone isn't enough, is it? What does your perception do to you / others around you / other people's perceptions? Is it more important to align your perception of the world as it really is (outside of yourself), or as you wish it to be? What if a murderer perceives himself doing good by killing innocent children? Is his perception all that matters, or is it important for him to align his perception with basic moral law, as determined by others?
Yes, It is enough. At the end of the day it's whatever is in the individual's head. Nothing else matters. Unless you perceive it to matter.
:3
And yeah.. original topic.. imo.. if you want to keep making music then go ahead. if you don't... stop.

Re: LSDJ Song Structure (14 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Break = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_%28music%29
A Bridge is a section of the music that is different from the main section and serves as a transition between the main parts of the music. For example, in the N*Sync song "Bye Bye Bye" the "I don't want to be a fool in this game for two..." section would be the bridge.
Breakdowns are also fun. That's where you simplify the main idea of the music to its bare bones and get the crowd to hand-clap with the snare or wave their cellphones in the air, lol

Re: Reconciling When to Continue and When to Stop (60 replies, posted in General Discussion)
One thing i will say about pop music... it's much easier to appreciate if you've had experiences that relate to what the songs are talking about and can identify with it. People can identify with shallow stupid uninspired uninteresting things... people often are shallow, stupid, uninspired and uninteresting.

El Huesudo II wrote:But in things so subjective like the quality of mainstream vs non-mainstream music, especially considering the multiple factors that are involved in the experience of enjoying a piece of music, there's no wrong or right. No one is wrong for enjoying that dumb "all about the bass" song (for example), and no one is "in the right" for saying music is worse now because people hear that instead of, say, Mussorgski's Cum Mortuis In Lingua Morta.
This isn't an argument... it's an assertion skirmish.
You're operating under the assumption that no song is objectively better or worse than another, which I find ridiculous. Are you telling me that Call Me Maybe or Friday have the exact same worth as any other song? Preposterous.
Our perception has nothing to do with the state of reality. I'd need a lot more evidence to convince me that all songs are equal in quality. You can't say that because different people enjoy different songs differently, that makes all songs equally praiseworthy. It's an illogical leap.
You kind of missed the point of the assertion you're responding to... Our perception has a lot to do with the value we place on things. Regardless of whatever objectivity you can pull out of your hat, that will never change. Our reality is as we perceive it to be. Everything we do, see, think, dream... is influenced by our experiences and our perception of said experiences. You could, hypothetically, argue that a Liszt piece is objectively superior to an Earth Wind and Fire single... but if it doesn't touch something meaningful in the listener's mind then it doesn't have much value to that individual. Whether you like it or not your criteria for "good" aren't really every going to matter in the grand scheme of individuals enjoying music.
"Equally praiseworthy" and "of value" aren't the same thing. And it doesn't matter two figs to an individual whether he's the only one in the world who likes a song that everyone else considers objectively worthless. And that is perfectly fine. At the end of the day, all that matters to the individual soul is the individual's perception of everything around the individual.

That's about how much time I like to put in too, though really it's just an hour or so per day for a week or two.
Otherwise, there's another thread about lamenting your own quality
This is super encouraging to me. Haha.

Yeah, man. I love that method of screwing with sources to make it sound how you want it to sound. Lots of fun with a digital audio workstation. Good stuff!
Not even going to listen for LSDJ parts in this. Just enjoy the music, hehe.

The music section is for *uploading* music files. Like how Imgur is for uploading images and youtube is for uploading videos.

Aamaananamananaughcihi's sound always gets lost to me somewhere between "here" and "there". My favorite of their songs is "Prom Night", one of two that doesn't even sound like Anamamgmmnugichi. Hehe.
Really glad Crying exists to give me something in that style that I can feel.. Doing things that amagamangunihci don't. filling that hole in my heart now i can go out happy ;-;

Re: LSDJ Song Structure (14 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
The hook is that catchy part that gets stuck in your head and brainwashes you and makes people be like "oh yeah that's my jam"
The way I approach structure is just let it happen however... if you like celtic structure then use it sometimes. Just do whatever fits. Or doesn't fit.

Re: LSDJ O command clip (11 replies, posted in Nintendo Handhelds)
Yes it is normal. Try masking it under percussive sounds or creating instruments with the Output (edit: L/R) parameter already set to which ever side you want rather than using O commands (less clicky). Or embrace it \o/
Or all three. Or none. Whatever floats your boat.
