So pixietricks and I have been talking about doing another Baltimore meetup, and we were thinking april 7th. What do you all think? And what do you want to do? We've got the espn world arcade down at the harbor as well as food, a few museums around, lots of good food, and of course we'd have to play lots of video games. Maybe even make musics!!! We also have Jill's apartment as well as my dorm floor (tho i don't think I'll be able to host any overnights as i already have people over). So april 7th is the date! Date: april 7! time: noon place: washington monument IN BALTIMORE!!!! map: http://drumultima.googlepages.com/lilmap.jpg THE ADDRESS IS: One East Mount Vernon Pl.

Gaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr edit: why can't i type in all caps :[

happy birthday jill, it's one day before my half birthday! which on my half birthday i will demand full attention from the world

here's one question i have-- after I state the theme, the transition to the more upbeat variations-- do you like the arpeggiated thing I do in the first link? or the low note drumming that I do in the second take?

bumping this thread because I don't want it to die before I go on spring break

I've been improvising on 600 AD (wind song). Gonna put everything I record here as I figure out what I like. Solo marimba! http://drumultima.googlepages.com/600ad.mp3 http://drumultima.googlepages.com/600ad2mix.mp3 <--latest

sup jill good luck at your recital~~~ much judgehaet for you <33

All of the remixes suck. that's why i listen to them so much

this had vocals AND vibraphone!!!!!!!!!! oooh so gooood you sing so gooooood

sometimes i say "lawl" irl and i don't realize it

It depends on where you are. Some places are very relaxed, some are very tense. If you're applying for a performance major, they'll probably ask to hear your solo repertoire, hear you sight read, play some scales, etc. It's pretty straight ahead. I don't know what type of music degree you're applying for, but as a performance major i found that the only effect that it had on my entrance to Peabody was where I was placed for ear training. It's really just to see if you can hear pitch. If you aren't a good singer, it's not a big deal. Just as long as you prove that you aren't tone-deaf. I have a feeling that perhaps they will just factor it into your audition as well as a small percentage (i.e. "this guy is really really good, but he can't hear notes. lets accept him anyway." as opposed to "this guy is alright, but he can't hear notes. let's let in the guy who is alrlight and CAN hear notes") It's not about to see how good of a singer you are. So if you're no pixietricks it's all good Probably basic stuff from "name the key signature" up to "what kind of chord is this" or "what is the form of this excerpt" or "find the voice leading errors" or i dunno, stuff like that. Musical examples with multiple choice answers seems familiar to me It depends on where you're auditioning and what kind of degree you're majoring in. My schools told me what to play. Thanks in advance

hahah it's the god damn mantango song

i'm not home right now, but i have vibes i can record with. a quick bit of vibe work probably wont be that hard for me to do.

proph, don't take it personally if i don't get anything out by then, and i wont take it personally if I'm off this project. I wish I could've been better about this, but I don't think I'll be able to get anything out :[

kwarp YESSSSSSSSSSSS

lol it took me a few take, just to find the solo i liked the best

that was AWESOME.

hey, i've done more stuff. anything else to do before submit? http://drumultima.googlepages.com/mysticcave.mp3

This is one of my favorite tracks from cave story The first thing that i have to say is that i feel like the swing is way too angular. I don't know how you do swing in FL, but if you just wrote everything in triplets that would explain it. If you can tone down the swing so it's not so harsh, it would help make it sound much more realistic. And like you said, it does sound awfully midi. I think this needs a more stable bass line, or at least a fuller bass line other than the trombone. Also, incorporating some more panning will probably help. Try playing with eq settings for each instrument. In general, i think you could stray away from high frequencies and go more towards low. Also, your velocities are basically even from what i can hear, which will also cause it to sound robotic. Raise and lower them based on the melodic contour. Changing velocities will probably help your drums the most.
