14:47:51 From Glenn Workman : I’m going to make a sandwich and will be right back, you all can start without me. 14:57:50 From jraoul : So I just clicked off the “Use same video in all sequences” option, tried adding a second video in a different chunk, and it quit unexpectedly, twice. (I have to admit it wasn’t quite as unexpected the second time). 15:00:27 From jraoul : So I’m not the only person for whom DP crashes regularly? What a relief! 15:01:22 From James Paschall : Need the “Don’t Panic” window. 15:01:36 From Timmy Samuel : James +1 15:12:05 From jraoul : Maybe this is what you were talking about? 15:12:06 From jraoul : https://www.cracked.com/blog/the-4-hidden-downsides-life-in-rock-band/ 15:14:08 From jraoul : Good composers borrow; great composers steal 15:14:43 From jraoul : — Stravinsky 15:15:18 From jraoul : I tried to write a song that was a mashup of Sting and James Brown, and all my friends said it sounded like Frank Zappa 15:15:32 From Glenn Workman : http://web.archive.org/web/20160325025343/https://www.cracked.com/funny-2359-progressive-rock/ 15:18:09 From Glenn Workman : Balloons = Footballs in my world. 15:22:39 From Jay Farber : https://www.samplemodeling.com 15:23:18 From Jay Farber : https://audiomodeling.com 15:23:23 From Bradley DePasse : https://audiomodeling.com/swam-engine/ 15:28:40 From James Paschall : Adam for the Win! 15:29:05 From jraoul : I was playing with Tom Waits once (oops! Did I drop a name?) and we were rehearsing a song and he said “What’s that you’re playing?” And I answered, impishly, “Synthesizer” He grimaced and said “Play something else.” 15:29:07 From Glenn Workman : https://www.freqsound.com/motuuserfiles/Progressive%20Rock.pdf 15:29:16 From Glenn Workman : That’s the prog rock treatment. 15:29:49 From Russ Pfeifer : Jraoul - like it 15:31:56 From Bradley DePasse : Daryll: You may want to find a used Yamaha VL1!!! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xnk8-3p45-U 15:32:08 From jraoul : And that style of “drumming” evolved into a whole style of drumming — not a replacement for more organic playing that was happening earlier, but an addition to the drummer’s vocabulary 15:32:25 From Adam Goldman : cephalopod drummers :-) 15:33:34 From Glenn Workman : iPop 15:33:45 From jraoul : My vinyl Revolver has a line I think of as part of the song “And we live beneath the waves / In our yemarine…” 15:35:36 From John Flaherty : We all live there, jraooul. 15:35:38 From jraoul : ANd then there were the commercial 8-tracks that would resequence albums to optimize the tape, even if it meant completely losing transitions (I’m thinking Sgt Pepper, Dr Sardonicus, Anthem of the Sun) 15:36:43 From Bruce Barrett : Thanks everyone. this has been fun. 15:36:50 From Bruce Barrett : Gotta go back to work 15:36:55 From Glenn Workman : See you Bruce 15:41:52 From jraoul : I created a console, and the numerical display is pretty much black-on-black — you can barely see the data. Any way to change that? 15:42:09 From Jay Farber : Is there anything good that works well with Motu 15:42:37 From Ray Toler : jraoul, is it a theme issue? 15:42:45 From Ray Toler : Can you change the theme and have the console change? 15:43:08 From Jay Farber : Anybody have the link for Glenns class? 15:45:24 From jraoul : Ray — if it is, it’s a stupid theme. 15:47:07 From Glenn Workman : jraoul: Yes, some themes don’t work we’ll with all the text fields. MOTU keeps have them pointed out to them as they are found. 15:48:28 From Eric Witt : Does everyone here start the process just with a pencil and not with the DAW? 15:49:13 From Eric Witt : Rather does anyone start with the DAW? 15:49:32 From Ray Toler : I start with the DAW most of the time, Eric. 15:49:45 From jraoul : Eric — sometimes pencil, sometimes DAW, sometimes Sibelius, sometimes cassette recorder 15:49:48 From Jay Farber : I start instrument in hand… then DAW 15:50:29 From jraoul : Most of what I write is inspired by text from my collaborator, and I print that out double-spaced and scrawl ideas in pencil. 15:50:50 From Eric Witt : Thanks. 15:52:05 From jraoul : A famous sax player stopped in the middle of a solo. When asked why, he said “I forgot the lyrics” 15:52:36 From jraoul : Mistakes as gifts! — Keith Johnstone 16:00:01 From Glenn Workman : Michael Brecker 16:01:34 From Jay Farber : https://www.google.com/shopping/product/8878522780246788041?client=safari&rls=en&sxsrf=ALeKk02tiJaXzPAhnzrDnopezt75Tkf1IA:1597175993295&q=Midi+Breath+controller&spell=1&biw=1172&bih=948&prds=epd:16517304814380351860,prmr:3&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjf6Z2f-JPrAhWUHjQIHdbwA-YQ8gII4gY 16:03:55 From Glenn Workman : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obh_Hq7zlu0 16:04:13 From Jay Farber : https://www.google.com/shopping/product/8878522780246788041?client=safari&rls=en&sxsrf=ALeKk02tiJaXzPAhnzrDnopezt75Tkf1IA:1597175993295&q=Midi+Breath+controller&spell=1&biw=1172&bih=948&prds=epd:16517304814380351860,prmr:3&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjf6Z2f-JPrAhWUHjQIHdbwA-YQ8gII4gY 16:04:24 From Jay Farber : https://www.tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-breath-bite-controller-2 16:04:26 From Ray Toler : https://www.tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-breath-controller 16:05:19 From jraoul : But going back to the conversation between Darrell and Adam — it’s not just about simulating acoustic instruments. There may be all sorts of interesting new applications you might discover. 16:06:00 From Russ Pfeifer : agreed 16:06:03 From Jay Farber : Single instrument over a section sound does make a big difference 16:06:15 From Ray Toler : Here you go, Glenn: https://zepfhyr.com/blog/2008/11/smule-ocarina-fingerings/ 16:08:01 From Eric Witt : Isn’t there already a breath control on Performer? So why would one need an outside breath control? 16:10:14 From darrellsmith : jraoul: I agree 16:10:15 From Glenn Workman : Eric: A breath controller is a physical device you can blow into to generate MIDI data. 16:10:47 From Eric Witt : Glenn. I understand that. But what would the advantage be in relationship to what is already on performer? 16:11:04 From Glenn Workman : Ones designed for Sax or Trumpet players take advantage of folks who already have dexterity on that instrument. 16:11:39 From Glenn Workman : The big advantage would be on input, you can play expressively, not draw it in later. 16:11:54 From Glenn Workman : https://patchmanmusic.com 16:11:55 From jraoul : Not just the instrument, but the patch within the instrument 16:12:09 From Ray Toler : Eric, it’s another way to get expression in, even on MIDI parts that already exist. Maybe to do a filter sweep, or tremolo, etc. The advantage is you can get some very fine control and you breathe differently than you might move your foot or hands, etc. 16:12:17 From Eric Witt : Glenn - Oh that makes more sense. Thanks. So for virtual instruments it doesn’t really make a difference? 16:13:29 From Eric Witt : Ray - Thanks. So from what I understand, even with virtual instruments it is possible to do more fine tuning. 16:13:32 From Eric Witt : ? 16:13:56 From James Paschall : Thanks, Glenn and everyone! Love you! 16:14:04 From John Flaherty : Yes! 16:14:11 From John Flaherty : THANK YOU, GLENN! 16:14:14 From Stephanie Gauthier : Thanks so much for everyone's help 16:14:14 From jraoul : Thanks all for the useful help and the interesting chat! 16:14:30 From Eric Witt : Thanyou Glenn and Ray. 16:15:58 From Timmy Samuel : Cheers all! 16:16:33 From Tom Lewis : Thanks Glenn, et al. 16:16:46 From darrellsmith : Gotta go be well.
