Here's a rough idea. The first one's bottom font is Passion One, the second's is Lilita One, and the third's is Germania One. There's probably a better font and colors, but that's what I've got there for now.

Not sure if it was remade from scratch or if you found a karaoke version and added the bells yourself but I love the sound of it.

Not sure if it was remade from scratch or if you found a karaoke version and added the bells yourself but I love the sound of it.  Also I'm quite partial to using AI for this year's album art given how immensely popular DALL-E and Stable Diffusion and so on have proved, but I would propose something slightly less sophisticated - i.e. more horrific - yet more topical than Haschel's offering. Unfortunately trying to fit in Twitter, Bitcoin and Putin proved a bit too much for Craiyon, so I just settled for Twitter because if nothing else it's been by far the funniest of the bunch (Santa's supposed to be holding a grenade, incidentally).  But then I thought that perhaps I should just keep it simple and enter "horrific AI-generated Santa Claus" at the prompt instead.  SAIson's greetings.

In case anyone wants to use it, here's the GIMP .cxf I've been working from. The font for the lettering at the top is Cinzel Decorative Heavy. ↓ Seconded.

Is there a completed playlist for 2022 anywhere yet? Not to apply any pressure, merely curious as I have a road trip coming up in a little over an hour and listening to this trash while I drive home has become a tradition.

I'm really glad I'm able to direct the funds in a positive way. I also made a matching donation to a group working with local unhoused youth. Relatively new org, so there's always some risks (well risks with any org really). Seems worth supporting though and the focus looks good. *fingers crossed I didn't miss any huge red flags* https://www.y2ynetwork.org/  Edit: Not posting this for personal credit, everyone in this and past threads are responsible for the trickle of bandcamp money that happens each year and you deserve to know it's been going somewhere other than my pocket. The matching I do in the name of the goofy work we've made over the years and the happiness it brings me. I look forward to what everyone makes each year, and I hope this is a small way I can give back. JossiRossi fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Dec 25, 2022 |

Hey all, I'm sick (so far not with Covid), but I wanted to say you're all wonderful and awesome. If someone else wants to do the track ordering, go right ahead. Maybe ManiacClown? Anyway, great work as always and I'm already looking forward to next year's stuff.

Maybe ManiacClown? I'll give it a go this year. I'm going to go on stream shortly, during which I'm going to play the tracks. I figured I'd just randomize it and see how that order feels. I'll play it by ear from there. EDIT: I am currently live. I shuffled the playlist in Winamp and then a little manual rearranging of what I definitely thought should be where. I put my self-indulgently long stuff at the end along with the bonus track version of Kirk's Red Wreath. ManiacClown fucked around with this message at 02:10 on Dec 26, 2022 |

The main things to keep in mind imo are 1) Put distance between tracks by the same artist, and 2) Don’t front load the playlist with all the best songs early.

The list as I've massaged it currently stands as follows. I haven't given any thought yet to how to break it up into discs save that I put my self-indulgently long nonsense at the end to be its own disc along with the "bonus track" original version of Kirk's Red Wreath. I figure I can look at that tomorrow after I install shutoff vales in the supply lines to my upstairs tub. The hot water is stuck on, so if I don't want it to run I have to shut off the water to the entire house! FUN! I'll note that it was kind of hard trying to space out my own contributions because I made so damned many of them. I'm sure I'll be able to do some polish there. quote:

Say, second post for a completely separate thought: what do you all use for music sequencers? I want to find a free sequencer for Windows I can use with a mouse (because keyboards are expensive) so I can start writing original music despite being music illiterate despite having learned how to read music twice. That would really help my Santa Odin stories*. * I will likely end up releasing a second revised file for I Saw One Ship (Called Naglfar) as I've realized what it seemed like it was missing: the recap at the beginning. That will be this week, but I don't know about Monday or Tuesday (my birthday). ManiacClown fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Dec 26, 2022 |

That would really help my Santa Odin stories*. I use Reaper for everything. It has a kind of steep learning curve but I figured bits out. A usb midi controller isn't too expensive and paired with Reaper you can do a lot with free VSTs. But you can also just 'draw' notes or play them on the digital piano roll that is part of Reaper. *a basic new midi controller/keyboard is usually around $100. I think I found my old rear end Novation 25 used for about $50?

Here's a revised track listing. Does this look halfway competently arranged? The "discs" are roughly equal in length. I tried to space people out and not leave any one person grouped on a single disc.quote:

A personal Reaper licence is $60 and you can evaluate it forever before buying, it only does a WinRAR-style nag screen. It's made by the original developer of Winamp.

A mouse is probably a super unwieldy way to do it so I'll have to get used to using my keyboard until I can get a MIDI controller. If I happen to luck out at a thrift store and find a standard electronic keyboard with a line out and plug that into the Line In, will that work?

If I happen to luck out at a thrift store and find a standard electronic keyboard with a line out and plug that into the Line In, will that work? Line out/in is for literal audio recording, not sending/receiving midi information. Honestly, your best bet for that would be to pick up something like an AKAI mini MPK. Just a few keys, but you can quickly change the octave, so unless you're a concert pianist constantly playing with both hands it's not going to matter much (and I'm sure a concert pianist could record their input just fine, once with the right hand, and again with the left). A mouse is still worlds better than using a typing keyboard, but that's assuming you're aware of musical timing, beat length, rhythm, etc, as you draw it in. I don't know, I hated using my typing keyboard for actually playing anything decades ago, before I got my first midi keyboard but I also knew music theory enough that when I drew in my notes, they were 90% accurate to what I wanted. I totally get if that's not where someone might be at, though. Eventually, if you get doing this (making music) a lot, you'll want to have at least 61 keys on a midi device, if not 81, but maybe that's just me. I gotta have octaves, maaaaaan.
