I too have been thinking about better methods for CC. It's granted that people will listen and comment to established artists with a following and such. But kudos to the people who have managed to listen to every song and comment the large majority! That's just a little out of the question most of the time - there must be a better way! Maybe we could have buddies or groups on different weeks that critique each other or similar?

Re: Music theory Q and A (14 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I probably don't have the in depth knowledge of some of the people around here (vinpous ) but if I can catch you on IRC I can do some simple explanations that shouldn't be too hard to understand.
Musictheory.net is awesome, but is a better practice tool than a learning tool I'd say. If you can find a local class or something go for it!

Re: WEEK 02: How did it go? (33 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Mine went much better than the first week. If the progress shown already is indicative of any further progressions, then I'm on the write track! (I'm punny...)

Rad! Most of the rooms I'm in are always pretty stagnant. I would enjoy getting some lively music discussion going!

Re: FM Synthesis talk for WB users (9 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Love FM! If I could find Virt's talk I would link it now... But FM really is great. The timbre is just so unique! For a while I've been working on Genny FM rave DJ sets ala Hizmi, to no avail. Perhaps that would be a good point to focus on in the coming weeks. I would love to hear some FM tracks on WB, link them if you make them. FM heads unite!

Oooooooooooooooooooh! Studying classical composition was probably the best thing I ever did, even if it hurt my brain massively. ^^' I'm actually sitting on a four-part vocal piece that relies on twelve-tone and 16th century counterpoint. It's waiting for me to master counterpoint without it hurting my brain. O.o
Very cool! I'd love to hear it when it's done. You gotta take a break from counterpoint sometimes though... if you do too much it starts messing with your mind!
Following a brief chat with someone yesterday, I've decided to not write any chiptune-related music for WeeklyBeats.
Interesting, interested to see what comes of this. But if you ever changed your mind for a week, I don't think anyone would be angry.

Re: Week 01 - How did we all fare? (75 replies, posted in General Discussion)
So while I'm 95% happy with the tune this has highlighted to me the challenge of submitting a track "NO MATTER WHAT"... because I wouldn't have uploaded it in it's current form if it wasn't for the deadline!!
I very much agree with you. I tend to stipulate intense quality control on what I share, online or not, so I'm a little embarrassed. But I guess we get it done no matter what! Should at least make for a dramatic change comparing this one to my last track.

Re: Music Genres (40 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Probably my biggest problem, I'm not quite sure where I sit as an artist. I tend to get stuck on different genres, I listen to everything from Jacazsek to Skilliam & Elijah. And then write according to what I'm stuck on... I guess I don't know how to handle/market myself as an artist. I need focus.

Re: Personal Goals Beyond Writing 52 Tracks In 52 Weeks (60 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Obviously I want to put out more music. Having more material so I can gig more often would be fantastic! I also want to do more theory driven music, i.e. some classic counterpoint, twelve-tone technique and others. I actually want to study the techniques of some other composers in a more formal and serious manner! I'd also like to collaborate with some other artists to have some fun producing tracks with others and bouncing ideas off. Sure to be creative! Also new gear and different software are hot on my list of things to try, gotta mix it up and broaden my horizons. In addition I want to explore different themes, such as trying a different one every three weeks or so. Hoorah!
