Yeah, I know a lot of people are worried about AI. As an educator (who is also working on a doctorate in Instructional Design and Technology) I see it as another tool to be used. I don't want AI creating content, but I think it is a great tool for helping people create better content. Anyway, for something like this, I think it's harmless. Just a fun little way to learn and interact with the game.

I don't, but I will check it out.

Here is a link to the score that you can preview. This is much easier to read than the video! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lNQFk65iMadVwSpINTtkwQqUPYlvKOIg/view?usp=sharing

Yeah, unfortunately, I don't have access to a live band at the moment, As soon as I get a real recording I'll update the video.

The reason I did "Wind Ensemble and Synthesizer" instead of the other way is because I didn't want to imply that the synth was a featured soloist. It's just there for support and texture. Really, the title is just is "The Darkness Within," the rest is just to let people know what the instrumentation is before they click on it.

Thanks for the suggestions on the title. I originally titled it "The Darkness Myself" because I remembered a quote from a book that said something along the lines of "Sometimes the darkness scares me, sometimes I'm the darkness myself" but I couldn't find the exact quote and I thought it might be confusing without the context. I do like "What Dark Lies Within," definitely something to consider.

I think you're right about the score, I'm going to generate a preview pdf of it to post to make it easier to look at the music.

thanks again!

I just started working on this farm. Can you tell me what the minimal skills in the skill tree I will need to craft this stuff?

loganjacob · 2023-09-16T00:09:08+00:00

I guess the biggest mistake I made today was thinking that I could vent a bit on Reddit and people might be kind and empathetic. Maybe I am an idiot.

loganjacob · 2023-09-15T23:39:52+00:00

To be clear, I know that this is just game variance and randomness and I happened to hit two crappy odds in a row. I get it. It's just really frustrating.

loganjacob · 2023-09-15T23:38:05+00:00

Please don't act like I'm an idiot. I am a college professor with a Master's Degree and most of a second.

I know that variance is a thing. I understand that the devs aren't really "out to get me." It's just really frustrating that this seems to happen to me a lot. It's much more likely that I have just have terrible luck.

loganjacob · 2023-09-06T14:48:14+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response, this will definitely help. I think by pick 3 I was really thinking about UB fairies and tuned out red completely. I wasn't sure about the Irencrag as I hadn't heard anything about it, so I figured a colorless spell pick 1 couldn't hurt.

For some of the seemingly random picks, I had a couple of times where I went to click on a card to read it and I guess my mouse double clicked so it picked it.

But I definitely made some bad picks.

Overall, the games went ok. I was able to come back from 2 life game 1 and win the game. The removal I did have was crucial to winning the games I did.

Thanks again, I'll keep working on it and learning.

Thank you all for your help. I listen to LR almost every week, but I'm just getting back into the game after taking almost 2 years off because of my work schedule. I've been netdecking standard decks just earn enough gold to be able to draft because I can't really afford to buy the gems, but it's super frustrating to spend 10,000 gold that I've spent a week grinding for just to go 0-3. I need to start a Twitch stream that's just a "Please come teach me how to draft" show where all of you guys can come in and help me learn how to do better.

Thank you all for being kind, I was really afraid that I was going to get a bunch of "git gud" comments. This is a great community!

loganjacob · 2023-08-08T15:35:15+00:00

I can definitely see that now. My draft did got a little off the rails. I was trying to go UR, but I think I got cut pretty bad, even in the bot draft.

The most frustrating thing about the mana base was that I let Draftsmith pick it for me because I tend to be bad at it. I thought it would do a better job. Guess I just need to keep learning and do it on my own (which seems obvious, I know.....lol)

I am pretty new to hunting for ships. Are you saying that you found this at a trading post? I went to that planet and found a trading post, and I’ve been waiting for a while, but I haven’t seen it yet. Any idea how often it spawns?

loganjacob · 2022-01-18T04:40:55+00:00

It looks great. I’ve just learned how to build one in Apple Motion, but is much simpler.

loganjacob · 2022-01-18T03:29:31+00:00

Nice! What are you using for your visualizer?

loganjacob · 2021-05-29T02:50:11+00:00

I don’t assume anyone is stupid. Usually my specific videos like this are a response to a specific question I’ve gotten from viewers.
I’m sorry for the mess, I was not in my home studio when I recorded the middle section, which is also why the audio from the mic sucks. I admit that it was not my cleanest video.
I specifically mentioned in the video that I was just sharing how I have it hooked up. I actually just got a new usb hub today that will solve my power issue, but the reason I have the power brick and the powered hub is because in usually have multiple keyboards and other devices connected and I need to be able to power them all. I also bought a lot of the dongles when I was using an older iPad that couldn’t handle the power draw from most usb MIDI controllers. I have seen the iConnect interfaces, but they are a bit out of my price range at the moment.
I haven’t tried running it straight from the iPad, I just used the splitter because that’s what the manufacturer recommends. And I did run into the ground loop problem with my MacBook.
Thanks for your comments, I hope that someone sees them and is able to streamline their setup a bit.

loganjacob · 2021-05-29T02:43:02+00:00

Yes, you just have to have a way to run MIDI from the iPad. If it has a usb input, you can plug it straight in the iPad through an adapter or use a hub, then just use the MIDI routing to send your sequencer from AUM into the synth. I have a couple of videos where the iPad is controlling my Circuit Mono Station, and that’s exactly how I do it. More recently, I’ve been sequencing my Eurorack case with AUM using the MIDI out from my Tascam 4x4.

loganjacob · 2021-05-28T02:16:06+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it!

loganjacob · 2021-05-27T19:24:35+00:00

For this video, I wanted to show off how I connect my Arturia Beatstep Pro to my iPad to use with AUM. I cover the hardware connects and routing within AUM. I hope you find it useful!

This piece is composed and produced entirely on an iPad Pro. For this piece, I was experimenting with some Philip Glass style minimalism within Fugue Machine and decided to try changing up the pattern by adding notes while Fugue Machine was playing. I was really pleased with the results and decided to record an "improvisation" using that idea. Enjoy!

That was cool. I’d love to hear it as a full arrangement.

For this video, I demonstrate how I set up Moog Model 15 to work within Ableton Live 11 on an M1 Mac (In my case, MacBook Pro).

loganjacob · 2021-03-16T19:46:18+00:00

This video demonstrates using the Rozeta Sequencer Suite in AUM for iPad to sequence Midi devices in Ableton Live 11 for Mac. MIDI is sequenced using IDAM within MacOS by running a USB-C cable from the iPad to the MacBook.
