Share one thing that you are best thankful about the mppc community.

Do not take more than one college programming class in the same semester.

If ever, I’ll probably be reacting with “” instead so the context of my downvoted posts can’t be tracked. Sound good? Ok.

Happy Veterans Day!

Big congrats! I look forward to seeing mppc more enjoyable and onward.

I updated my display name and included a profile picture, I hope you like it.

@finneass said in Since New Years is aroung the corner,:

Who are you glad that you met/got closer with on MPP/MPPC this year?

Duchess (known for a long time and the reason I came early), TheTruePath (thanks for the warm welcome), Error (another long-timer, missed 'em), Shazz (Romantic-Era composer!), Phoenix (oh he’s a fun one and makes songs too), and everyone else (unmentioned, but it wouldn’t be the same without you) for a wonderful community.

We’ll miss you, but thanks for your service. Take care!

So, I was finally able to have a time block to practice with mpp, but I can’t record a midi of the sessions. On the bright side, the Steinway Grand has an amazing rich sound, and it sounds close to the paid Steinway Grand samples I paid about two years ago. I highly recommend trying the Steinway from the Sound selector.

And if I’m around mpp practicing (or qhy!mining), you’ll find me most often in the test/awkward room and you are welcome to join.

Last week, I spent an entire night making a short piece. This is a screenshot of the completed mixing process.

There was a suicide advice online community forum where everyone did nothing but encourage suicide, and to even think those places actually exist.

I posted a reply on a discussion board for a class assignment, made an edit so it left an edit mark, deleted it hoping no one replied to it.

But it turns out, someone replied to a now deleted comment 😂

@zack Ah ok, good to know.

My new (refurbished) laptop came in today! After ensuring the overall basics worked, I powered the computer down, opened it*, and dusted the two vents because this previously used model had two fans where both fins were covered in dust.

The good news is that in one of the vents, I pulled out a dust chunk which I thought was crazy!

The bad news: Sadly, I did not bother to take pictures. But just imagine there are two vents (rather than one) with the fins covered in a thin layer of dust.

*Please do not attempt this procedure on your own. For those inexperienced, opening the cover into any device poses an electrical shock risk and/or expensive property damage.

I hope you enjoyed #2 on me cleaning vents. It’s almost perplexing by how such little material can be the culprit to achieving maximum performance and longevity with computers.

Here is a bit of preview for an upcoming piece. It is a short cinematic work composed in 2020 and is currently being remastered with Muse Sounds and Audacity. I hope to release by Sunday so stay tuned!

Check these out if you haven’t yet: I hope you enjoy!

P.S. The piece is about a minute and a half long.

I don’t want to be alone

I’m sure you don’t have to be.

Whoa, there’s that familiar theme again. I could anticipate something’s coming.

What did you have for dinner today/yesterday? I’m sure there’s something delicious you had. 🍴😋

I got delayed, so I finished this instead. But rest assured because remastering for Hope in the Smoke is officially done.
Edit: And to clarify, I still hope to release Hope in the Smoke this month.

GUITARHERO, Hope in the Smoke may use sparse use of the brass and percussion, but this Romantic Fanfare is only brass and percussion.
