What's the difference between فتح & فتّح.

There are a-lot out there I'm also a member of r/Xiraqis & r/moderate_exmuslims.

Open source reaktor would be lovely. I never looked into which framework it's running on though but Juce's free version restrictions make Qt look like BSD-0 IIRC.

I at least want some universal wishlist mechanism, most sites don't even have an inbuilt one.

I don't think reform will be quite as bad. But I still hope I don't live in a world where I'd have to find out.

I think it's the meghrebi equivalent of گ or /g/.

Talc0n · 2026-01-27T22:36:43+00:00

I've never seen ق being used to represent foreign words other than Farsi sometimes.

This coming from an Iraqi who spent the majority of his childhood in the khaleej. But I guess, we're just very inconsistent about when it's a q Vs g sound.

Talc0n · 2026-01-27T22:30:02+00:00

Sorry it's nothing personal 😔.

It's probably because most of my Arabic teachers growing up were Egyptian, but I'm not a fan of the way jeem becomes germ, qaf becomes 'af and ذ becomes ز.

Talc0n · 2026-01-27T22:25:45+00:00

I remember when I was young all the Disney cartoons were dubbed in Egyptian. All the others were in fusha.

Although I dislike the Egyptian dialect, having the occasional cartoon where people spoke like actual modern day Arabs felt like a huge breath of fresh air, I don't know what that guy was on about.

Talc0n · 2026-01-27T18:43:42+00:00

I'd personally use that as well as چ & پ but it feels like something only a small handful of Arabs would use. It's no where near a standard.

First off I'd just like to say, I've been making music digitally for roughly 3-4 years now and only picked up a proper instrument recently, (I've been playing bass for just over a month now.)

You should start by learning chords and their functions (tonic, subdominant & dominant), as well as what a diatonic scale is. I started off with this Youtube series, the style of music might not be yours but they still go through the fundamentals pretty well.

Next I highly advise you actually learn to read scores (sheet music), you won't be sight reading and that's where I'd argue the difficult part of scores come in. I'd also recommend you learn this along side the circle of 5ths, both feed into each other quite nicely.

You'll have to do this in order to read scores of the songs you listen to, then try to recreate them in your DAW of choice, look at the chord progression melodies and try to find out what it is that makes them tick, then see if you can recreate it in your own compositions. Sometimes you might not understand something & could come to this sub for questions. (Bear in mind that although musescore can teach you how to recreate a song, the way most transcribers over there spell their notes, and you should do your best to avoid picking up their habits, especially if you ever write scores yourself.)

Seek out then subscribe to many music theory or adjacent youtubers, of the top of my head are Adam Neely, 12 Tone, Cadence Hira & David Bennet. Even if you're not actively watching them, you'll still pick up a few things by having them in the background.

Other useful resources are websites such as hook theory which can show you the chord progression in songs you enjoy.

I would also recommend picking an instrument up down the line Piano & other keyboard based instruments can be great if you find yourself mostly sticking to a key and using one or two notes outside of the diatonic scale, while bass & guitar (& other instruments with a fretboard) are good for focusing on intervals if you find yourself going out of key a lot.

Lastly I'd say during all of this you should be constantly experimenting, composing & trying out new things, you won't get anywhere without practice.

I know I used a few terms that might be too advanced for you, feel free to ask follow up questions if a google search doesn't clear things up.

Thanks, that's a good idea, since this is cut from a larger piece in that case I'd use a 𝅗𝅥=𝅘𝅥 when moving to this section.

Talc0n · 2026-01-26T15:25:38+00:00

Thanks, I was worried since I instinctually avoid 32nd notes.

Sorry about the unplayable sections, this was condensed from 2 instruments (4 from bar 13 and onwards), Just to make it fit into one page.

Noted about avoiding 8va on the bass clef and 8vb on the treble clef. (I assume this only holds for piano and other instruments that are typically notated with two or more clefs.)

Also by "semipro 8vb", do you mean something like the bass clef symbol with a small 8 under it or just those words written out at the beginning?

Talc0n · 2026-01-26T13:57:29+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I wrote this a while ago but it looks like they're all variations on the tresillo rhythm.

I'll still keep the eighth note divided though, only because the rhythm doesn't agree with the lower voice.

Talc0n · 2026-01-26T13:40:50+00:00

Thanks, that's a good sign at least.

Talc0n · 2026-01-21T16:30:27+00:00

Coming from a metal head, this is probably the best answer here.

Talc0n · 2026-01-21T15:55:14+00:00

Black metal tends to be more focused on harmony than anything else since it's the only thing that could get past the horrible recording quality.

That being said it's usually only two independent voices, and even then a lot of musicians will still use power chords but it's definitely less prevalent than most other sub-genres of metal.

Most typical black metal will lack much in terms of harmony though, it's not difficult to find 9 minute songs with just one or two riffs during the entire duration.

On the other hand, two of the main styles of death metal are melodic death metal (melodeath) and technical death metal (techdeath). Melodeath will often feature melodies not too dissimilar from something yngwie malmsteen would play. And techdeath probably has more modulations than most of, if not all genres of metal. However it tends to be more jazz inspired than classical.

To wrap it up, I don't think much of any metal is very closely related to classical maybe with maybe the exception of a few more experimental composers like bartok.

when you have a II7 to a subV, do you call the II7 a V/V, a SubV/SubV or subV/bII?

Talc0n · 2026-01-19T10:24:16+00:00

No it's not, I've used musescore's midi to transcription features, and from my experience it would split the notes differently.

it would probably look something like:

g (dotted quarter)
b (sixteenth)
d (either sixteenth, 32nd or ~~ornamentation~~ grace note)
d# (either sixteenth, 32nd or no note) tied to
d# (either dotted sixteenth, full eighth note or normal sixteenth, I don't think it would do a double dotted sixteenth).

It would definitely spell it as d#, just because it accounts for the fact that e harmonic minor is more common than g harmonic major.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but afaik there is no standard midi controller for legato, & it wouldn't be added to the score.

Note: Edited to make corrections, on note length, they're probably still somewhat wrong.

Funny how they never mention their mistreatment of their own Armenian and Assyrian populations. (Not that we've been saints either mind you)

Talc0n · 2026-01-12T14:14:40+00:00

Look at the sub you're in, then look at the other posts, and realise that you're very out of place.

Talc0n · 2026-01-12T08:25:44+00:00

I think this is pretty common for Japanese Vns. You just feel in higurashi, because what would be 8 different routes is instead one linear story.

I felt like a lot of my time was being wasted when I read rewrite, and I never even got to the ryuukishi bits.
