<2021-07-16T00:34:09.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: Hi, do you have any guides on how to make music with MIDI, music in general. I have trouble being on key. 
<2021-07-16T16:29:16.000Z> Xeraser: Oh hi
<2021-07-16T16:29:27.000Z> Xeraser: Didn't get the notification
<2021-07-16T16:30:46.000Z> Xeraser: That's kinda hard tbh
<2021-07-16T16:34:59.000Z> Xeraser: There are multiple answers depending on what you need
<2021-07-16T16:43:19.000Z> Xeraser: If you have trouble staying on key the easiest and fastest thing you can do is going into your daw, creating a midi clip and filling out all the notes that belong to the key you need
<2021-07-16T16:43:33.000Z> Xeraser: copy them down one octave up and one down
<2021-07-16T16:43:54.000Z> Xeraser: And then move them out of the way to the left if your daw lets you do that
<2021-07-16T16:44:12.000Z> Xeraser: So that they don't get played but they're still technically in the midi clip
<2021-07-16T16:44:43.000Z> Xeraser: If your daw has a fold option like Ableton does you'll only be able to see the notes that belong to that key
<2021-07-16T16:58:19.000Z> Xeraser: if you're doing it on linux
<2021-07-16T16:58:23.000Z> Xeraser: for the love of god don't
<2021-07-23T02:47:36.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: Thank you. Currently trying to install some VST plugins. 
<2021-07-23T02:47:55.000Z> Xeraser: on linux?
<2021-07-23T02:50:27.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: Miku NT and Studio one both only works on windows so unfortunately no. 
<2021-07-23T02:50:51.000Z> Xeraser: what the hell is miku nt?
<2021-07-23T02:51:52.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: https://sonicwire.com/product/virtualsinger/special/mikunt
<2021-07-23T02:52:40.000Z> Xeraser: what
<2021-07-23T02:52:41.000Z> Xeraser: so just
<2021-07-23T02:52:47.000Z> Xeraser: miku-only vocaloid lite?
<2021-07-23T02:53:31.000Z> Xeraser: also studio one is alright but if you're doing midi stuff only try to get cubase to work
<2021-07-23T02:54:20.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: I'm just gonna use what come in the box.
<2021-07-23T02:54:39.000Z> Xeraser: you bought studio one?
<2021-07-23T02:55:31.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: I brought Miku NT and the box had Studio one artist. 
<2021-07-23T02:55:39.000Z> Xeraser: oh
<2021-07-23T02:55:41.000Z> Xeraser: okay yeah fair
<2021-07-23T02:55:58.000Z> Xeraser: although
<2021-07-23T02:56:01.000Z> Xeraser: consider using this

<2021-07-23T02:57:05.000Z> Xeraser: was gonna suggest this in case you didn't want to use Live
<2021-07-23T02:58:00.000Z> Xeraser: it'd be extremely useful in your case
<2021-07-23T02:58:07.000Z> Xeraser: well anyone's case tbh
<2021-07-23T02:58:18.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: okay
<2021-07-23T03:04:50.000Z> Xeraser: if you need plugins just ask btw
<2021-07-23T03:05:24.000Z> Xeraser: i have a seriously crippling hoarding habit when it comes to vsts and sampler libraries 
<2021-07-23T21:38:05.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: You have a plugin that can make voice whisper?
<2021-07-24T04:10:46.000Z> Xeraser: like make a pre-recorded voice whisper?
<2021-08-12T15:07:15.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: I got the libraries installed successfully today. You could try fiddling with the parameters to make a whisper but I noticed it isn't as smooth as the whisper library itself.  
<2021-08-12T16:10:47.000Z> Xeraser: Yeah there isn't really a way to make it sound natural
<2021-10-28T06:34:53.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: ＴＡＩＫＯ　ＶＳＴ？　
<2021-10-28T06:35:12.000Z> Xeraser: what
<2021-10-28T06:35:51.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: ｓｏｍｅｔｉｎｇ　ｔｈａｔ　ｓｏｕｎｄｓ　ｌｉｋｅ　ｔａｉｋｏ？
<2021-10-28T06:38:23.000Z> Xeraser: you'd have to install kontakt
<2021-10-28T06:38:24.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: たいこ　太鼓
<2021-10-28T06:38:26.000Z> Xeraser: hold on
<2021-10-28T06:38:58.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: sorry for the full width there. 
<2021-10-28T06:39:12.000Z> Xeraser: nevermind
<2021-10-28T06:39:21.000Z> Xeraser: thank fuck you don't have to install kontakt
<2021-10-28T06:39:25.000Z> Xeraser: schristiancollins.com/vi-percussion.php
<2021-10-28T06:40:25.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: thanks
<2021-10-28T06:40:59.000Z> Xeraser: you need this plogue.com/products/sforzando/
<2021-10-28T06:41:22.000Z> Xeraser: reads .sfz and standard soundfonts
<2021-10-28T10:34:16.000Z> Xeraser: idk if i got any but i could try sampling my keyboard's if you want
<2021-10-28T10:42:41.000Z> Xeraser: just found a tool to do it lol
<2021-12-04T05:18:00.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: This does not look like the 2nd chord of C major. I'm trying to make a 2^9 chord of E flat major for the lower frequencies (left hand). For c major I thought it would be a B-D-F or something not A-C-E.I'm making a 2^9,5^13,1^9,6^7 chord progression for the left hand. I don't quite understand the 9 exponential, other than "adding intervals of a third" which means I add below since it's left hand and 9 meaning the ninth note from the tonic in the key? (for c major it's D4 going up, and B2 going down)?  https://freespeechextremist.com/media/980e9d7c-aaf3-440a-b764-87fc9f79e3cf/thisdoesnotlooklike2nd%5E9chordofCmajor.PNG?name=thisdoesnotlooklike2nd%5E9chordofCmajor.PNG
<2021-12-04T14:15:20.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: I still need help with that. (´。＿。｀)
<2021-12-05T07:47:10.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: neverminded, I winged it. 
<2021-12-06T01:43:43.000Z> Xeraser: sorry, haven't been feeling great
<2021-12-06T01:44:53.000Z> Xeraser: from what i remember yeah, you're right
<2021-12-24T23:26:11.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: What does the Sharp mean here. Please explain in laymen terms. Also happy Christmas.  https://freespeechextremist.com/media/60eeb51d-7928-41f4-a1a4-947f5f8236df/WhatDoesTheSharpMeanhere.PNG?name=WhatDoesTheSharpMeanhere.PNG
<2021-12-24T23:32:48.000Z> Xeraser: it's the key signature
<2021-12-24T23:33:20.000Z> Xeraser: all the notes designated by that signature will be sharps
<2021-12-24T23:34:29.000Z> Xeraser: saves time when writing music 
<2021-12-24T23:36:25.000Z> Xeraser: well okay that's a bit too simple
<2021-12-24T23:36:44.000Z> Xeraser: if it's at the beginning of a piece then it's permanent
<2021-12-24T23:36:55.000Z> Xeraser: if it's at the beginning of a measure it only lasts until the next measure
<2021-12-24T23:38:57.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: So all the notes are just sharps on this line (or measure I assume)? What about the dots on top of the half notes? And that weird squiggly thing I think is called a rest of some type, right? 
<2021-12-24T23:40:22.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: *quarter, sorry
<2021-12-24T23:42:24.000Z> Xeraser: yeah, if there's a sharp at the beginning of a measure all notes on that line will be sharp (or throughout the piece if it's at the very start of the score) 
<2021-12-24T23:43:13.000Z> Xeraser: dot on top of a note means to play it staccato 
<2021-12-24T23:43:38.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: Okay, thanks.How to play staccato.quarter rest I found
<2021-12-24T23:43:52.000Z> Xeraser: staccato = short and detached
<2021-12-24T23:44:38.000Z> Xeraser: aka release whatever notes you're playing before playing the staccato ones
<2021-12-24T23:45:23.000Z> Xeraser: legato is the opposite, play the next note without releasing the current one
<2021-12-24T23:47:58.000Z> Xeraser: squiggly line is a quarter note rest 
<2021-12-24T23:50:52.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: thanks (❁´◡`❁)
<2021-12-24T23:56:21.000Z> Xeraser: np
<2021-12-24T23:59:49.000Z> Xeraser: if you're planning on writing music through a pc keep in mind that every single notation software available today is fucking garbage
<2021-12-25T00:00:29.000Z> Xeraser: writing scores* more like
<2021-12-25T00:02:22.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: There is just some musical pieces that just don't have a midi or refuse to give anything but the score like this so that's why I'm reading scores like this instead of going straight to midi. 
<2021-12-25T00:03:53.000Z> Xeraser: there's software to translate scores into midi if you need it
<2021-12-25T00:07:26.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: I think I'm just going to keep this piece simple. It's a meme piece if you recognize where it's from. 
<2022-01-02T02:01:37.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: What was the other torrent site for vst other than rutracker that you mentioned?
<2022-01-02T13:19:50.000Z> Xeraser: audioz.download/ is the warez sister site of the forum i'm from but they rarely offer torrents
<2022-01-02T13:20:17.000Z> Xeraser: they use FFSs instead
<2022-01-02T13:24:35.000Z> Xeraser: aka those "get a premium account or get fucked with 50kb/s" services. linksnappy gets you a premium account for 90% of those for like 5 bucks a week, it's not exactly ideal but many many new releases and obscure as fuck releases are only on FFSs
<2022-11-18T18:38:56.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: Do you know who Guchico is? 
<2022-11-18T20:21:55.000Z> Xeraser: Yeah he's my favorite Shoebill artist 
<2022-11-18T21:35:49.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: Oh, I figured that. He also does Vtuber models. Did you commission some of that artwork perchance? 
<2022-11-18T21:38:13.000Z> Xeraser: No, I wish 
<2022-11-18T21:38:56.000Z> Xeraser: I've been wanting to buy his Shoebill art books but they're out of print and I can't even find scans 
<2022-11-18T21:46:43.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: Have you tried asking him? he has a email for business. 
<2022-11-18T21:47:25.000Z> Xeraser: Oh yeah I could do that 
<2022-11-18T21:47:49.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: guchico77@gmail.com
<2022-11-18T21:48:18.000Z> Xeraser: Oh nah I already spoke to him on pixiv once 
<2022-11-18T21:51:01.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: oh, I never had contact with him yet... (it's cool that he responded) 
<2022-11-18T22:03:33.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: I kind of wanna know his quotes on things and what payment system he uses for commissions. 
<2022-11-19T08:01:11.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: Did you get a response? I don't know when he normally checks his stuff. Don't really want to pester him, just wanna know if he ghosted me instead of waiting weeks for nothing to come to fruition. 
<2022-11-19T13:08:23.000Z> Xeraser: Haven't contacted him yet, had some stuff to do. I'll do it later today 
<2022-11-21T04:41:08.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: was it done?
<2022-11-21T05:56:34.000Z> Xeraser: yeah did it earlier today
<2022-11-21T05:56:45.000Z> Xeraser: been busy, sorry
<2022-11-21T08:42:16.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: You got message from him? you sent it on pixiv? 
<2022-11-21T09:05:57.000Z> Xeraser: meant i sent him a message earlier 
<2022-11-25T06:43:05.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: So how did it go? 
<2022-11-25T06:47:24.000Z> Xeraser: no reply yet
<2022-11-25T06:49:03.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: Oh, so I guess he is inactive. 
<2022-11-27T23:39:04.000Z> INSTALLGENTOO@freespeechextremist.com: let me know when he does
<2022-11-27T23:42:26.000Z> Xeraser: will do
