"The Star-Spangled Banner" arrangement was adapted from the Sousa/Damrosch band version.
Weirdly there does feel like an open, airy quality to a sine wave. Triangles aren't all that firey... But saws? 100%. Squares definitely have a deep earthiness to them.
Maybe I'm talking nonsense though. What do you think?
This is wildly incorrect, right? Unless this is some new revelation, it seems like mastering your music is completely necessary. It’s basically the glue to hold it all together. Any more insight on this or is this take as wrong as I think it is?
At my DI recordings I can see there's a short pick scrape/attack before the string is released and the actual note starts. What exactly I should align to the grid? The beginning of the pick noise or the beginning of the note?

Hi everyone,
Already posted a similar post but i am after anothers suggestions / opinions…
I’ve owned quite a few synths over the years, including the Edge. The ones I’ve kept are:
Roland SH-01A
Toraiz AS-1
I also have:
Digitakt II
Various VST plugins
I make EBM, Industrial Techno, and I’m looking for a synth with a very different character :
Something that can bring grit, aggression, rough basses, basslines and sequences, and wild modulation. Basically, I’m after an instant industrial weapon of a machine.
In your opinion, which synth would be the best choice for that?
Thanks !
✌️
this is just standard 4/4 but I’m having a huge brain fart and nothing seems right!
Hi, i’ve been going through my old belongings and found this yamaha groovebox thing. Given the state of it i’m assuming it isnt worth much, but i was wondering what yall would value it at?
Im not too much into music so was unsure whether to sell it, or repair it with 3d printing and gift it.
Sorry if this isnt the place for this, idk much about it so was just looking around.
It was pretty easy to assemble, it doesn't take up much space, and it can be folded into a slim stand for transport. You can also adjust the angle of the top section. If anyone's interested, I can measure all the parts and write down the dimensions so you can build it too.
Hello, all. I'm looking for examples from the classical repertoire in which chord tones don't resolve as expected. I'm especially thinking of places where the seventh of a V7 chord (^4) doesn't resolve to ^3 in the same part when moving to a I chord (for example: if ^4 is in the viola, the viola might move to ^1 while the first violin moves from ^5 to ^3).
I'm not interested in irregular harmonic resolutions (for example, V-vi or I-III#). I'm looking for parts that don't go where traditional voice-leading theory says they should go, all during typical chord resolutions.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
The Roland Jupiter-8 has been around for over 40 years, yet it still seems to be one of the most recognizable synthesizers ever made.
Its sound has appeared on countless records across pop, synthwave, electronic, and film music. Even today, many software plugins and modern hardware synths try to capture its character.
But I sometimes wonder how much of its reputation comes from nostalgia versus its actual sound and workflow.
If the Jupiter-8 were released for the first time today without its legendary status do you think it would still be considered one of the greatest analog synthesizers ever made?
I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially from people who have actually played one.
Picture one or two?
I bought a Roland XV.5080.
I'm looking for a music editor for Windows. If you know of one or use one...
Then I saw this fantastic video:

I'm contacting you to see if anyone uses this sampling method, and if burning CDs with WAV files works?
Thanks, the Gang
The singer in our band wants to get a radio mic. She'd like to keep her current mic, does anyone have any experience with plug in radio systems line the Boss WL-30XLR, or any other recommendations?
Or your top three things? I'm brand new to the field, and I'm sure a lot of heads here have forgotten more than I'll ever know, but I'd like to know what general direction to go because it's a vast subject.
Hi everyone,
I'm a beginner adult violinist with not much prior ear training (2 years of lessons so far, and my intonation isn't great but according to my teacher I'm doing okay so far). I've been working with the Complete Ear Trainer app but struggled a lot on the first level, i.e. recognizing octaves from minor thirds. Today I tried changing the sound bank to pizz strings, and suddenly I got much, much better. I think I'm focusing too much on the tone vs the note frequency, and the default sound bank is a very resonant piano.
Is there any downside to using a "cleaner" sound bank? Is it a common issue?
Thanks! :)

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for some advice or maybe even someone to collaborate with.
I can write complete lyrics on my own. Lyrics, concepts, storytelling, verses, choruses, bridges, all of that comes pretty naturally to me. The problem is that when it comes to the actual music side of things, I’m completely lost.
I don’t know how to create melodies, rhythms, chord progressions, or instrumentals. I can hear the emotion I want in my head, but I have no idea how to turn that into actual music. Most of the time I end up with pages of lyrics and no clue what they should sound like.
Has anyone else started from a lyrics-only background and learned the music side later? If so, where would you recommend I begin? Are there any beginner-friendly tools, courses, or methods that helped you understand melody and songwriting from a musical perspective?
I’d also love to hear how lyricists usually find producers, composers, or musicians to work with.
Any advice would be appreciated.
The popular sonic analyzers I've found all require a spotify or some sort of official streaming link. I tried using a private soundcloud link for a few of them but no luck there.
Anyone have any tips to get my unreleased track sonically compared to other released tracks?
Hello everyone, I really enjoy NIN industrial and gritty sounds lately and wanted to get myself a good synthesizer/digital/MIDI piano whatever it is. What’s the best suggestion to start from scratch ?
Recently the Minilab 37 caught my attention because Minilab3 is not capable for 2 hands play. Thanks you the help!
My one question that I have (I’m not sure if there’s an answer or if it just comes with experience) is this: Outside of the bass note, how do you decide which note goes with which instrument and in which register?
For example, let’s say you end a piece with a B major chord like Stravinsky’s Firebird. Obviously it’s not going to be inverted, so our bass note is a B. But outside of that, there’s so many instruments. I mean what’s the difference in giving second and fourth horn and octave F# and an octave D# in the grand scheme of things.
Do composers consider how the notes would ring with the other horns? Does that really make a difference with that many other instruments playing?
