GAME: How much do you know about the poster?

yrk · May 11, 2006, 20:20:44

OMG, I completely forgot about this thread... Sorry everybody... :oops:

Anyway here goes...

I am currently reading a book about ...

a) Musical theory because I want to be a better musician/composer...
b) Programming because I want to start hacking on OpenMPT...
c) Mathematics because I want to learn more about digital signal processesing...
d) Recording techniques because I want to start recording my own songs...

Which one of the above statements is NOT true?

speed-goddamn-focus · May 11, 2006, 22:08:44

D!!!

Sam_Zen · May 12, 2006, 00:17:10

B I hope.

Another multiple choice :
What am I not doing while typing this post :
a - drinking beer
b - smoking some nondescript substances
c - planning to clean recordings of insect sounds to make potential samples
d - thinking about making a big hit with huge commercial success

apple-joe · May 12, 2006, 05:29:36

D at SamZen probably.

Which musical style have I yet not experimented with?

A. Reggae
B. Trance
C. Jazz
D. Blues

LPChip · May 12, 2006, 07:58:08

One at a time please... this is so confusing.

Quote from: "LPChip"One at a time please... this is so confusing.

that's what happens when people smoke nondescript substances.

yrk · May 12, 2006, 09:07:36

I am actually reading books on all 4 topics but the programming book is work related and not because of MPT.

So Sam_Zen is correct. B it is.

D it is, in my case.
Since I can't find any material, I have to guess, and I choose A.

2 speed-goddamn-focus

But maybe only confusing for those, not under the influence.

apple-joe · May 13, 2006, 00:40:26

No, in my case, it was B - Trance - which I have not dived into for real. Maybe it's time. Gotta stay open minded to the genres. I've actually tried some reggae. Nice stuff. I'll have to create another short reggae tune soon. Refreshing.

EDIT: Joining any of the compos soon SamZen? An hour compo, the mimic compo, anything?

LPChip · May 13, 2006, 10:33:04

From this point, no multiple questions are running.

Since Apple-Joe was the last one (he spoiled his answer though

) He should give us a new question.

apple-joe · May 13, 2006, 12:33:38

OK, a slight mix-up there. Allright - I'll deliver one more and then disappear:

Which instrument would I verily like to learn, but seems like quite a task?

A. Violin
B. Sax
C. Guitar
D. Harmonica

Right, and this time I'll just say "no" then, when someone suggests the wrong alternative.

georg · May 13, 2006, 12:43:15

C. guitar

I'm surprised your fingers have not fallen off from all the typing on IRC. You rant about guitars like a theologist about birth-control.

Relabsoluness · May 13, 2006, 12:55:36

How about D?

2 Sam_Zen
Did you read yrk's question correctly, or did you really hope that he wouldn't have started reading a programming book to start hacking OMPT?

LPChip · May 13, 2006, 13:45:50

Can't be a guitar. Violin is much harder to learn, because the principle is the same, but the striking part makes it harder.

I've played Harmonica myself, so I know that isn't that hard.

Its either a Sax or Violin. I think you're a Sax person, so my answer is B

apple-joe · May 13, 2006, 14:04:38

georg - yes, but I actually know some guitar.

LPChip - Hm, I've never tried sax or violin, I thought about the harmonica really, so Relabsoluness was right, it was D. I've tried it and even though it's easy to produce sound, it seems hard to create subtle music. Yet, maybe I should have included other non-correct options which were considered a little easier on a general level than sax and violin.
