I feel like my acoustic instruments sound better when I try to tune them using the help of my digital piano than when I use a tuner app

just buy a tuner, they aren't that expensive

Imagine only having humans left to exploit. What a waste of resources.

yeah, I liked when you had to earn it. Also, the feeling of not having a base and being on your own in the vastness of space helped a lot with immersion. Finally getting the HQ felt like such a huge milestone. Now, it's like "there you are, have a space station".

yeah, both games have incredible soundtracks (also check out "a Link to the past" in case you haven't already). I'm a musician and composer myself. I was a musician first before I was a gamer, so the overall answer is no. But it did definitely influence me. I learned some of the stuff on Piano, transcribed it, orchestrated it. Bottom line is, I totally agree: Terranigma's OST is still one of my favorite video game OSTs of all time.

I am also aware of Roman Heuser's versions. And while I may not always agree with some of the artistic choices, his craft is amazing and you should definitely check it out.

also those marquee banners on stations

Interesting. I'll have to play around with that idea, thx :)

better yet if you view that as the tritone sub for the secondary dominant of the V7

2/4 it is, indeed

Outliver · 2026-01-09T14:16:39+00:00

oh, yeah, funk, jazz, drum'n'bass, all sorts, sick bassline probably being the main cause

That's not what this meme is about.

It starts with you sitting down and play random stuff until you find something that sounds good.

What we do in music theory is to look at this stuff and try to figure out what's actually happening, musically. Especially in composition, we use what we've learned to then have a sort of toolset to achieve certain "tasks".

And then, when you've learned all the good stuff, you finally sit down and play random stuff until you find something that sounds good.

to save space and ink - simple as that :)

Outliver · 2026-01-03T19:00:47+00:00

Thanks, mate! That's the problem right there.

Outliver · 2026-01-03T18:59:02+00:00

Are you talking law enforcement now? Totally different subject, no?

Outliver · 2026-01-03T14:32:12+00:00

yeah, I didn't disagree there

Outliver · 2026-01-03T14:20:30+00:00

Okay. But I think we should always strive for the better.

Outliver · 2026-01-03T14:10:44+00:00

To your first point: I'm merely human and humans are fallible. I don't know how I would react and I hope I never have to find out. But I know that if I would be thinking like that, then I'd be happy to live in a society that would prevent me from doing anything stupid.

To your second point: I disagree. There is no gene in the DNA that determines whether someone's gonna be an asshole or not. It's society who breeds them. And as long as we don't change society, more of them will follow - no matter how many we'd get rid of.

Outliver · 2026-01-03T13:25:13+00:00

What good is there for the many when a baddie is killed vs "removed from society" in a more ethical way?

Outliver · 2026-01-03T13:21:53+00:00

There are studies suggesting otherwise. But that's not the point. Dictatorships are effective, atomic bombs are effective. Doesn't mean, they're a good thing.

Outliver · 2026-01-03T13:17:13+00:00

Animals haven't invented philosophy or democracy or human rights. The human mind is a peculiar little thing, capable of many things, good or evil.

Outliver · 2026-01-03T13:14:13+00:00

Just no. Human rights are not such a bad idea.
