#nfb25 Glenn Gordan with Vispero says that when you find something your passionate about, even if you don't think it is a way to make a good living, you should still persue it. I agree. You never know what could come of it.

@jaybird110127 Oh, well then... That's interesting. Gotta be from a stock library then. Now I'm even more curious.
At last year's ACB Convention in Jacksonville, one of my highlites was a spontaneous jam session with Marcus Roberts and Jason Castonguay. I captured video as best as I could, but combined with another visual perspective and a binaural setup, with Robins help, here is a video of some of the highlights. Although I'm sad that I didn't make it to ACB this year, heres hoping those who are attending can capture some cool moments. https://youtu.be/DcKjQSPRt9Y

Enjoy the 60's psychadelic version of the Potty song.

Hive mind, I need help with making menu entries make sense.

I'm doing work on a new script for REAPER that detects chords you've played in selected MIDI notes, sorts them into groups like "Lowest notes", "Highest notes", and um... groups each note in between those sensibly named things. It builds a dynamic menu so you can select whichever note group you want and copy, mute, delete, do whatever to that component of the chords. The menu also shows how many chords in the selection each group borrows notes from.

Question is this:
What should I call those menu entries between the Lowest notes and Highest notes? At the moment the menu presents them like lowest notes, 2nd notes, 3rd notes, highest notes etc, but that doesn't seem like an intuitive way to summarize the information. I feel like it clashes with any preexisting musical/intervalic knowledge of what you've played. EG, when the menu offers you the choice to select 3rd notes from X number of chords, I think people will expect that to select the musical third, which more often than not isn't going to be an accurate description of what gets selected. Really it'll be skipping over the lowest and second lowest notes of each chord, then selecting the next notes up for you.

How do I name these groups so people realise it's counting up from lowest to highest in terms of the component notes of each individual chord, not describing interval in relation to root?

Shout out to everyone who is still trying to be an open hearted and kind person while having to process lots of heavy things.
That's cool. The snowman showed me years ago that could be done with recordings of AM radio and frequency shifting by 10 k to hear the next station. Naturally, this only works if the tuner used is wide enough to allow that through to begin with.

If you ever think English is not a weird language just remember that read and lead rhyme and read and lead rhyme.

But read and lead don't rhyme, and neither do read and lead.

#AudioMo Day 20:

I'm really reaching for material here.

This was recorded on June 25, 2011 after Derek Lane and I did a stream.

We discovered that, for some reason, applying and then disabling phantom power on my ART TPS-II preamp with passive (dynamic) microphones made a really interesting sound, so we recorded it.

The microphones used were Sennheiser E835 hand-held dynamic microphones.
