Last post by Saga Musix - May 25, 2025, 15:32:11The various melodies that play at the same time sound like they were written completely independently, without any regard for each other. This results in clashing notes in various places.
Example 1: Right in the first pattern, there are two piano melodies playing completely independently. They use about the same note range. This would be extremely awkward, if not impossible to play on a real piano, and sounds weird. Usually you don't want to have two melodies playing in the same note range, especially if they are played by the same instrument. An exception to that rule of thumb would be two melodies that are always a distance apart (e.g. by a fourth or a fifth).
Example 2: Look at pattern 2, around row 40: You have a bass pad playing a C on channel 7, while there's also a bass piano note on channel 1 playing a D*. Two notes that are just apart by one whole step usually evoke a dissonant feeling. Of course that's not always the case, for example if one of the two notes is shifted up by one or more octaves. But two bass notes so close together is usually calling for trouble (a dissonant feeling).
So, it's not a terrible start, but a lot to improve on.
I hope that helps!
* it's an F in the pattern but actually a D. One thing I can recommend is tuning all your melodic instruments to the same root note, most commonly C, so that it's easy to see the relationship between different melodic elements of the song. It also makes it easier to swap out one instrument for another, allowing for easier experimentation.

Last post by Saga Musix - May 25, 2025, 15:09:05Yeah, thinking that all software developers, and in particular me, are rooting for AI show just how well you know me.
The fact that forums have been dying a slow death since the advent of Facebook and the likes, for over 15 years now, is completely irreelvant, it's just me who is at fault.
I guess since you're incapable of toning it down, even after being warned multiple times, means that you're not going to miss the ability to post here. I've been ignoring your gross violations of the forum rules (code of conduct) long enough, but I don't need to take your verbal abuse any longer.
Good bye.

Last post by Exhale - May 25, 2025, 05:42:14Thankfully you dumb fucks created your replacement. Ai will be better than you and the only ethical use of it is to replace the bootlicking corporate tool programmers who decided it was cool to steal from artists and then cry like the brats they are when the software stole from them instead of only the talented artists.
You brats made this ai bed, you are the ones who shall lay in it, and learn to submit to the people who know better, the artists. Bitches

Last post by Exhale - May 25, 2025, 05:27:00Yup, this confirms it. This community is dead. That's what happens when you chase away the only person who was actively trying to make a community for software i love because your only approach to criticism is to strawman the person's position and then look down your nose at them SAGA. This is what happens when you put the clowns in charge of the circus, or in this case, to be exact, the indifferent, incapable of self reflection programmers in charge of the community SAGA. Dumb fuck

Last post by n0cturn - May 17, 2025, 22:23:56Well at least one person listened, a couple more and I'll be well on the way to an all time record! lol.
Why do we make music?... Been asking myself that quite a lot lately, and came to the conclusion that I need to do something else for a while, like painting, no mona lisa, just windows, doors and a whole staircase! so I may be gone some time.
