Free Music Downloads / [deep house] blind us (mptm*)
Last post by Exhale - February 23, 2025, 10:42:40*attached vocals
We are blind
at least from some sides / from most sides
Lazer focus with/has wondering eyes
You take your heart out and show it to me
I dont know what i am looking at or what it is i see
A bleeding rythem beats stronger and stronger
The passion overcomin everything, oh here we go
EDIT : i will probably be changing the vocals / re-recording on and off so this is still somewhat a work in progress and obviously the forums here get the lowest quality i can do to fit around 500k
Reuploaded to fix vocals too loud
New version uploded to discord instead becuse with all three vocal parts it goes above 500k
So for those who want better quality vocals, this is your link https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/531542299713208326/1343511951589769246/exh_blindus2a.zip?ex=67bd8a82&is=67bc3902&hm=f3691b3874b95c6829b066c68cb4cdaba594f1895ef507a63916299a5c42597c&; better version
Also yeah still learning how to mix vocals, the kinda stuff to keep and take out. Quite the process.

Last post by Saga Musix - February 22, 2025, 20:52:09This video might be interesting especially to people who are just getting into tracking and have never produced music before:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE3QM_9sljI
It covers a large variety of topics, such as the basics of a beat, structures, famous sounds worth knowing, etc. Highly recommended.

Help and Questions / Re: Mapping the same sample wi...
Last post by Saga Musix - February 21, 2025, 22:58:32Cool stuff. 
I guess depending on what exactly you need this information for, you could probably also approximate it in case different sample frequencies could potentially be used in a file. For example, you could gather all notes in the pattern data associated with a specific sample, and then translate those notes to frequencies and derive a middle-C frequency from that. But without knowing what kind of information is needed for the tool for what purpose, it's hard to judge what would be the best approach.

Help and Questions / Re: Mapping the same sample wi...
Last post by eliasdaler - February 21, 2025, 00:20:58I see, thanks!
I guess for now I'll just assume that all my samples are 44.1 Khz initially and use "c5speed" in .it format to determine the "root" node. (I'm writing my own .it/.mptm converter for playback on Sony PlayStation 1
)

Last post by Saga Musix - February 20, 2025, 19:31:28Quote from: eliasdaler on February 20, 2025, 18:15:13(I guess it might be a limitation of .IT format when using sample tuning?)Yes and no; It's always a limitation in the XM format, where the sample map cannot be transposed. OpenMPT always imports SF2 / DLS instruments the same way though, no matter what the target format is. However, even though the IT format can transpose samples in the sample map, doing so can also be problematic when using Tone Portamento effects to slide between notes that are assigned to different samples; this can give unpredictable / unwated results when the sample map is transposed.
There are plans to have root note information available in the MPTM format at least; that way, we would be able to avoid the Tone Portamento issues, while also preserving the original sample rate of each sample on import. Probably not going to happen in OpenMPT 1.32, but hopefully at some point sooner rather than later.

Last post by eliasdaler - February 20, 2025, 18:15:13@Saga Musix
Also a bit related question. When importing .sf2's, it seems like "root note" for a given sample changes its "C5" frequency (e.g. from 44.1kHz to something like 176.4 kHz)
Is there a way to get an original sample's frequency (44.1 kHz) after such import? (I guess it might be a limitation of .IT format when using sample tuning?)

Last post by manx - February 20, 2025, 09:39:09I have the feeling you did not get at all what we are saying.
I did explicitly ask you to not answer my questions directly. They frankly have solely been illustrations of the overall quality and state of your specification.
Also, again, any explanatory reasons why something went as it did do not matter, especially if they are solely rooted in your team's internal communication problems or opinion differences.
Except for maybe for the single paragraph directed explicitly towards you as a person, every single time Saga Musix or me said or implied "you", this was directed at the team as a whole. We are not talking to you as a person here, but instead as a representative of the team that issued that final specification. We are both not native English speakers, and maybe we should have said "the team" instead of "you" every single time, but my language intuition tells me that "you" implying the the whole team would not be completely uncommon phraseology. Yet, you prefer to talk from your personal perspective, which frankly is irrelevant. We do not want to get dragged into your team's internal opinion differences. They do not matter to us when interacting with you as a team. If your team cannot even communicate with a somewhat coherent opinion with outside people, you should really stop everything you are doing.
Saga Musix is still mentioned in the credits/thanks section. Each reply you write here without fixing this very basic thing makes you appear even more offensive and rude. YOU HAVE TO STOP MENTIONING HIM. FUCKING IMMEDIATELY. We did ask nicely twice.
Some of your responses to individual questions let shine through that you do not have sufficient knowledge about the things you are trying to specify (either explicitly mentioned by you, or in other cases frankly implied by how/what you answered). This must never happen. Maybe this is also only your personal knowledge level, but in that case you should better consult with your team and give a proper educated response after that (or at the very least redirect the answering responsibility). There is really no need to reply to everything within 3 hours. I will not go into more detail about individual questions any more. This is not the point here, really.
Every single question's intention is to spark wondering inside your team about why you have not thought of any of these particular (and other) questions before releasing a final specification. And the sum of these wonderings should hopefully then cause some amount of self-reflection about the quality of your work.
Of all the things you mentioned in your reply, you did not even address the single most important one: The immensely large existing SoundFont implementation space, and the interaction (or really non-communication) of your team with their developers. Even from solely a moral perspective you are simply not allowed to touch SoundFont in the way you did. My comment about great care and an absolutely crucial and large extent of responsibility associated with modifying such a widely adopted format totally did not sink in. You do not know what you are doing, seriously. And this is not fixable by addressing any individual technical aspect of the criticism.

!!!trigger warning!!!
Contains criticism of catholicism and covers heavy topics
-----!!!-----
Christopher hitchens talks above some music i made, gets very heated at some places. I havent written down the words he said here or in the comments or anything, so if u r sensitive about that kinda thing but still want the song, u can just not keep the words which are an *external ogg. It is fine without them, but they are made for eachother.
EDIT - i have decided this genre is called anti-gospel.
