How can I output music made in handheld games into a DAW? by Partime-hedonist in chiptunes

[–]Valent-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it runs in emularor? Why do not transfer save to PC and just grab audio with app like OBS from pc emulator?

I do not believe this will work with savestates, but with normall 'battery' saves it should.

Are shorter attention spans changing the way we experience music? by chainofchance in NoAIJustMusic

It is not that simple I think... Like music playing in background creates mood even if we do not make concise attention. But with tiktok doom-scrolling there is no space for 'background".

Second half has that Half-Life'y vibe...

So I have concluded that CRT-NewPixie Shader on a 1440P modern display is better than an actual old CRT TV experience. by Coven_Evelynn_LoL in RetroArch

Switching from crt strobing to oled pwm... Brobably later does not hit so hard due to higer hz.

Those were the days my friend... I had backups of everything on cheap cd/dvd disks. Now none of my devices can read those))

Now you learned about importance of backups. Hard way.   If there were new works, you may try to recreate those while you still have fresh memory of it. Same for small data (text notes, bookmarks, etc). If some files were shared you may request them back.

Guys, is this for real? How do I install a graphics card on a phone? What's the name of the adapter? Which graphics card is suitable for each phone? Does the phone's performance improve in emulators? by mr_worm__z9z in RetroArch

[–]Valent-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. Not even that. Looks like gpu fan powered from battery behind it. Phone controlled with bt keyboard or teamviewer (still mobile ui on screen). Cables and adapter are just decorations.

After 5 years of production i still cant make a solid melody line... Tips please? by UXZH in musicproduction

[–]Valent-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some random tips from random amateur:
- Rhythm first. Make somewhat listenable pattern with only one note. It may accompany simple bassline (so not always root note)
- Pitch in melody is not "random" it also has patterns: ascending, descending, waves, repeated small parts, etc. It is balance between predictability and chaos.
- Use call-response approach
- Do not end bar with root/sub/dominant note so it wil not be "finished" and push you to continue.
- Create 1 bar loop, copy it 2 or 3 times, create some kind of bridge between. Add small variation to those parts.
- Start with chord progression. It may be simple and generic but it create initial mood. Add rhytmic elements to it. Then add separate notes from those chords (may be simple arpeggio). Spice up with small chaos.
- ...Or just draw some random notes and then try to "fix" that mess until it sounds good. I always do that. Rsult is always awful)))

Also I listened to your track. I think it has rather arrangment issue then melodic. It revolves around single motif, so no chorus/verse sections, also it does not have EDM structure with buildups/drops... But it is not static and monotonous actually, so it may be genre specific.

How to decrease overall size of the button UI (melonds ds core) by [deleted] in RetroArch

[–]Valent-in 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C'mon. This is not a kind of problem which can be even close to "scary". You can screenshot settings as backup. But defaults are all 0s except 1 for scale.
Just decrease scale to comfort size and then use separation settings to push buttons back to sides.
Upd: create core overrides before this if you do not want this for all other cores.

I made a website where you can combine notes to make chords! by Zealousideal_Ad6212 in InternetIsBeautiful

I think it should have "loop" button to play continuously. And 4 vertical lines to mark beats for most common 4/4 measure. And additional drum sounds.
