@pupy also that resume is missing the fact that you are a very good photographer sweetie
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet im an okay photographer haha
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet photography is mostly a kinda throwaway category in demo also
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy Weh.
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020

@Violet *pet pet*

some day i will figure out trackers

Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy the only advice i have wrt that is do a bit of practise when you next have the motivation, grab a sample pack, restrict yourself to only samples from that pack and see if you can make anything
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet i need to find a nice sample pack of like. classic cliche sounds used in tracked songs
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy should do what I did in the early days, find a tracker module you like, rip all the samples out of it and make your own song with them
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet that takes maybe more effort than i have but yeah not a bad idea
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020

@Violet awww but then if i make a cool tune from that then i cant really share it cos all the bits are stolen from other places

i guess i could technically label it as a remix

Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝
@pupy sweetie i'm pretty sure a huge chunk of amiga module samples are either taken from existing modules or vinyl collections

Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet i mean yeah but a lot of folks also make their own samples n shit etc
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy there's no shame if you're doing it to learn 'w'

@Violet @pupy and all music is taken from other music. art is kinda entirely based on other things
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020

@xenon @Violet my point is this is a scene that im almost a complete outsider to, and anxiety means that im double worried about just lifting straight from someone elses module etc

i say this even though i know demoscene is like. one of hte most fuckin open and friendly ass communities ive seen

Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020

@xenon @Violet i really should interact more w/ the uk demoscene folks on that note

i kinda slinked away from their slack chat bc i did the default thing i do when i dont immediately integrate myeslf into a community and silently leave lmao

Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@xenon @Violet yet those folks were like immediately accommodating to me, i went to nova last year w/ vivi with like the barest knowledge of demo shit and only the vaguest interest in getting stuck into it. ended up talkin w/ psonice for some kinda intro-y bits which didnt really go thru but he did take me round and introduce me to the folks that were there lmao
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy @xenon I was pretty inactive in that slack for a while until MiniNOVA happened earlier this year, then i started talking in there again and invited coog along too, it's still a nice environment
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020

@Violet @xenon yea its chill

literally was my own personal issues that caused me to kind of hide there

i didnt completely leave bc there wasnt really much point in doing so, but i should definitely show my face there at some point

id imagine a lot of em can assist with samples and music tips =w=;;

Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy @xenon it's been a lot more active since lockdown, i'd take the opportunity to mingle with folks while they're all at home
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet @xenon yea
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet @xenon unfortunately that means effort and also following through on plans, two things i am legendarily bad at
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet not gonna lie the lockdown has proper naffed me off entirely because its stopping me from getting adhd diagnosis
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020

@pupy yeah my mental health has been absolute shite during lockdown, i miss you a lot

i've been trying to find things to do and people to do things with to keep myself distracted though

Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet we should do somethin together
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy i'd be down for just an evening of chilling out tbh
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy i'd suggest something like jackbox or whatever but jackbox just drains me and i zone out to other things whenever i've played it lately
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy if you're in the mood sometime I can go over the basics of OpenMPT with you if you want
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet i dont think im. particualrly interested in using openmpt as a tracker honestly
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020

@pupy 'tis the only one I know how to use unfortunately

if you're looking for an Amiga based one I've heard a lot of good things about OctaMED. can probably be emulated

Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020

@Violet yea that was my plan

that or like. the sdl windows port of schism or some shite like that

idk. im not too keen on the openmpt interface or how it works n that

Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020

@Violet i think tbh i planned on doing amiga tracker anyway simply bc i love the way samples sound when you run it thru them

tho granted i can probably set up openmpt to be 8bit as well but eh

Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy MPT can auto-convert samples when you import them for Amiga mods, yea
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet ultimately i think i wanna seek out a nice pack of classic 90s tune samples bc those ones really pop off nicely when run through an 8bit tracker on an amiga
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy norman cook sample packs it is
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet hook me up w/ it tbh
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy you do not want my sample folder it's a huge unsorted mess
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet just the norman cook ones tho
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy unsorted as in everything is in a single directory with messy filenames and idk which ones are the norman cook ones specifically
Show threadpupyMay 7, 2020
@Violet ah
Show threadViolet Procyon 🦝May 7, 2020
@pupy i'm due to wipe everything and start again from scratch tbh, i know which packs I have and I know where I got them from, I just need to slap 2012 violet in the face for dumping everything in the same folder
