prophetik music   Judges ⚖️

i noticed that the old music theory thread is toast, and since some people are starting to ask questions about whether or not it's important to know theory i'll post this now. music theory is one of the most important things you can learn, besides how to play an instrument. it will completely change your musical ability, the way you view music, and whether or not people of the opposite sex will look at you. if you know music theory, you will drive a nice car and look hot. fyi. that said, i know a decent amount about it, so if you've got a question, feel free to ask. don't -ask 'h0w du eye mix?!?lolol -ask extremely generic question -ask about synth design and setups. this is for the notation side of theory, not the physics side of it. -ask about computers. do -have an example if possible -have an idea of what you're trying to learn -ask about computer programs using notation -ask about timbral and aural notation (aka, what instruments make THIS sound) if you need to, contact my by aim, email, or pm for a complicated problem. edit - it'd be nice if you could stickify this thread, just so that we don't lose it in the torrent of information that is remixing. the last one was stickied too, i think.

you don't want a soundcard, you want a preamp, then. M-Audio makes the Audiophile and MobilePre. both are fantastic, and i believe they make firewire setups, too. they both only have two inputs, unfortunately. they're both about 149$. if you still want a soundcard, you can get a nice internal or external soundblaster 24-bit at newegg for around 40 dollars.

dunno if anyone's posted this yet, but here's my response to cree''s post. i think that if you take the time to learn piano, you're going to discover the theoretical aspects of music will come along as you're learning keys. that said, if anyone has any theory questions, ask me. i'm going to be getting my masters in composition, probably, and i'm going to be working towards teaching theory at the collegiate level. so...if you've got a question feel free to ask me.

i've got a buyer possibly for my rhodes (that'd give me like 600 bucks) so i'll soon have funds to use towards this, i think. maybe. and a couple other non-substantial words meaning i might have money.

you forgot me faggot

i'll keep you company

i'm selling a rhodes

MY WORLD IS COLLAPSING AROUND ME! =( fisheh =(

i would vote for oddllama if he made a llamaworm sig

mostly i just want to sell my rhodes. that's about it.

that'd be so hot. i love the b3.

i'm still bulling through some of these wips. i prefer collaborative efforts, as a whole, so this has been difficult (in a good way) to manage all this music.

whatever you do, pick it yourself. i hadn't even listened to tetrisphere's soundtrack in four years when i said that it won - i should have picked a more tuneful game to go with my generally melodic-based remixing style.

it's a mark 1 suitcase 73. so it's like 200 lbs.

i am a jedi master. i don't deal with 'retakes' and 'pbbbt' noises. i slice you with my lightsaber. that's just how it is.

i've been digging around on the vintagesynth.com forums, and i'm finding some nice stuff. i need to sell my rhodes to get the cash, though.

hand me my lightsaber

llamaworm ftw

so, do djp-ing dolls = mechanical blowjobs?

i think most of the people in this thread want this.

i'm not accepting leadership blindly. trust me, i know that all of the President's ideas aren't the best, and i know he's made a lot of mistakes. however, since he is our president, duly elected by the people of the US, he represents what the majority want in leadership (again, supposedly). i'm more just of the opinion that chipp is annoying, and he needs to keep topics like this in the PPR forum rather than in community, so that we don't get derailed like this. that said, props to schwartz for pointing out that topman has some pimpin clothes. i'm diggin the waistcoats.

hosnap, you're right! it was supposed to be the external version of the soundblaster live! 24-bit card. d'oh.

chipp, you have a way of constantly posting things that are either annoying or inflammatory. especially since i'm a republican. you're not even a fucking american.

if you notice when this thread started, man... wait, you thought i was black? because i play sax, or because i'm poor? (sorry, i had to get that in there) ahaha music joke!

if you can, i'd invest in the c2d i suggested. it's a flamingly fast processor that will really make a difference down the line - if only because it'll be a good processor (vista or xp) for years and years. the pD will need to be replaced relatively soon. with a processor, remember that you want a solid bus speed as well as a good clock speed. lots of other stuff matters, too, but thost are the two main ones. daffyd, the soundblaster works fine because it's a 24-bit card as well as offering a lot of features other cards don't usually offer (optical, spdif, etc). the internal card is just as good, too.
