You don't make the music. The music makes you.
My music. mind they're old and obsolete links
I also write stories and barely informative pieces of nonsense. And draw. Might upload some files to this repo.
I also use Alice sometimes, see this folder. I stopped using it after I tried to get camera movements precise and realise Alice randomized some amount of movement in on every run. Now the project I attempted to make is lying around somewhere.
-
Reach me (albeit slowly):
- Create an issue on this repository.
- Contact me privately via the LMMS forums if it's related to music on LMMS (avoid using this option. I'm rarely active.)
-
Find me publicly on:
- The LMMS forums
- The LMMS Discord
- KVR Audio, for some reason
-
The most effective way to reach me as of writing:
- Ping me. Ideally on this repository.
-
I'm working on several things. This repository is old and I don't update it much.
-
What I'm working on:
- LMMS' code occasionally. Currently thinking about updating to format
- LMMS or music
- Working on creating a website
- Articles on audio etc to put up on said website (I hope to explain well)
- Art
- Attempting to learn the keyboard, guitar, cajon, and harmonica.
-
What I've worked on or worked with:
- LMMS.
- Audacity.
- REAPER. barely
- Hydrogen
- Krita, Sketchbook, and Wick Editor
- Embroidery and stitching?
- Alice
- Colour pencils? oil pastels? art? eh
- Writing?
- basic Python and SQL, Java, QBasic
-
My resources:
- I have some slightly old books with old Christmas carols/worship songs and their associated sheet music
- I have a quick and dirty Johnny decimal index creator/updater and a backup and mapping files utility bat file for Windows systems. the backup bat is robocopy-based.
-
Learning as much as I can about audio through mit ocw courses and the like. If you know a good course please let me know!
-
If you need a track made contact me. I probably need experience. here is what I will work with:
- Tool of choice: LMMS. can use Cakewalk if required but I'm not proficient.
- 3rd party: I have several VSTs and soundfonts. I'm not particularly fond of using too many VSTs since they take time to load. also can use gig, pat, sfz, sfark archives if required.
- Approach of choice: If you have an idea in mind already for a tune and styling this is even better.
- Short tracks that are auditorily interesting
- Longer tracks only with heavy guidance
- background scores where you plan to record other instruments over (also with guidance)
- samples if any. I don't have a smart sampler that can detect and preserve the formants of a sample, or one that automatically loops to requirement.
- Unusual time signatures, with guidance.
-
What I will not work with:
- Most online music studios, especially those with dynamic content. includes Soundtrap and bandlab mix editor. I can but would rather not.
- Most paid software. I am broke. I prefer limiting my piracy to minor conveniences I'll use once or thrice, and legally cannot produce what is made with free versions.
- Microsoft Excel
- I'm not versed music theory, sheet music, or playing a musical instrument. I'm learning, and if needed can reference, but I do not possess the skills just yet.
- VST3. LMMS doesn't support it. I do not believe in the yeet of vst2.
- High expectations of audio sampling rate or bitrate checking. just because I have my knowledge doesn't mean I have fancy studio monitor speakers. I do, however, have tinnitus and a mild propensity for high-end hearing loss. I'll export it at whatever quality I can give you but that's all.
-
What I can work with:
- cajon if needed (I do not have a studio setup or high-end mic. noise is inevitable.)
- Vocal recording. can also do basic editing (noise removal, volume balancing) but avoid. my condensor microphone isn't high-end.
- I have a torrent client, git, ytdlp, Audacity, and an evaluation version of REAPER set up among other resources in the event I should require them.
