a piano piece
 

arepH / rF from a warm place on 2001-09-14 15:59 [#00031960]



Ok, I wrote a piano piece the other day...

zebox.com/artists/plegz.html

'untitled piano piece 1'

...holy shit:

A)Very NIN
B)Sounds VERY MUCH like something I did on my last
cd.
Except, mine was very much less about the piano
itself [seeing as it wasn't an ambient track.]

Nice none-the-less :]

That piano piece was very nice. You should stick to your
melodies because they are great whereas your percussion
stuff sounds too obviously trackerish. That melody of your
remix of blue crayons was so great, quite striking even
though pretty simple. In this piece the white noise fade in
was a good addition, and I also like the shortness of the
track. I think the white noise should have followed the
exact melody of the piano keys though, then it would seem
like every key got more and more whitenoisyish, instead of a
solid white noise wall coming in. It didn't really strike me
as NIN though, course I havn't heard fragile so I can't
really say. Please listen to my new song "Zippy W.'s
Wombacious Tree Stump Jam" at
www.mp4.com/artificialselection, if you get a chance. Your
remix of option wasn't as good as the original I'm afraid
IMO. His gritty liquid percussion was deleted and basically
the whole beginning was a worse version, however the song
did do some interesting original stuff around the middle.
Later...

I use an Imac so please excuse my English. Things like this,
like mp3.com, and things like that, is there away to
download the track onto your computer rather then listen to
it online. In wav, mp3, or any format.

There should be a download button you can click, then "save
to disk" instead of "open from current location", I don't
know about whatever you said you're using though.

I'm on a mac, I did what you just said and it downloaded
onto my computer in wav format which plays through
QuickTime, so I click on it and it does nothing and it wont
play in Itunes either, I think I need a converter thing, one
of those things where you drop it in a folder and comes out
something else. And I wont get and IBM either because
they're shit and look like shit, I only bought this computer
because of it's physical appearance. It's beautiful,
graphite colour though.


 

Mrs. Crabapple on 2001-09-15 06:21 [#00032084]



I don't REALLY know what I'm talking about but, what you
downloaded SHOULD be an mp3 already, because it was uploaded
as an mp3. You probably need a software program that can
play mp3's, not wav's. I use music match, but I have a pc...
who cares about what it physically looks like, you could buy
a nice empty box and paint it nice colors and look at that
instead and it'll be much cheaper. I've no experience using
macs except for typing lessons when I was in school, but I
suppose PCs are more popular and therefore easier to find
software for.
Another possible problem might be that you did not install
quicktime or whatever on your computer.

mp3s for windows don't work on mac, they have to be
converted to mac format, i think that's it anyway, the track
was in cgi format.


 

Milk Man Dan on 2001-09-15 06:34 [#00032087]



Ok, I worked it out, it really was stupid. All I had to do
was change .cgi to .mp3 and drop it in Itunes. I bought an
Imac DV for the DVD player, Imovie, amount of memory, and
price too. Not just appearance.


 

Mrs. Crabapple on 2001-09-15 06:45 [#00032093]



Computers piss me off when they refuse to cooperate
intelligently. Play the damn song you retarded binary hunk
of junk, YOU figure out what bizarre format it has to be in,
you're the computer not me. Humans are going to make slaves
out of you.


 

Butch McButchEyeball-Head on 2001-09-15 13:44 [#00032151]



Yeah, it just had .cgi on the end and wouldn't read. I
changed it to .mp3 and later on the file turned into an mp3
itself. Itunes also reads other stuff besides .mp3 though,
like if you drop a film in it, it reads the sound.


 

Butch McButchEyeball-Head on 2001-09-15 13:52 [#00032159]



Are the ID3 tags the song information? I don't know. Yes, I
like Itunes too, it's got one of those stupid song
visualiser type things on it, like a music video except this
one looks ok. Have you got any third party or something
things for Itunes?


 

Butch McButchEyeball-Head on 2001-09-15 13:53 [#00032160]



Do you have any links to people's imovies?

Actually if an mp3 is made on a mac than it contains not
just a data fork... but a resource fork also... and witht he
resource fork is the files attributes.. including what type
of file it is. thats how a mac knows... mac users, heard of
resedit? then you should know what Im talking about

See if I make an mp3 on my PC and send it to a friend then
it will more than likely come up as an icon with "PC" or
"DOS" or some shit like that on it. So if you want to double
click that file on a mac it might not work because the file
attributes say"wDOS" or some shit like that. (at least thats
the way macs were a couple years ago... Im sure they havent
changed)

suffixes.. liek I said.. its been a few years since Ive been
a "Mac Guru" so I stand corrected :)
