You don't just learn music. The music teaches 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:

  • Understanding the GIG file format. I need to understand the sf2 specification first.
  • LMMS' code occasionally. Was thinking about updating to format
  • LMMS or music
  • Working on my website (it is up)
  • 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 (drum machine)
  • 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 do not enjoy pirating audio software for general use.
  • Microsoft Excel. I don't like it.
  • 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 obsolesence 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 hearing issues. 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. I will do what I can to reduce it)
  • 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.
