Title information, and other stuff.

[Eric]

So here's the order of my sequences if you haven't figured it out yet.
1. Unfinished/Finished without title order
2. (Full) [This means it's probably going to be continued]
3. (Final) [This means it's at it's best, and could be continued if/when I get more ideas]
4. (End) [This means it's at it's greatest, and will take awhile to continue.]
5. (Finished) [This means it's done]
6.  :idea: NEW :idea:  ~Complete~ [This means it's done forever]
I keep coming up with ideas to lengthen my sequences, but some are truly done, I promise.
Here are the sequences that are already done or not currently thinking about continued title order.
I'll post in my song thread if I'll continue any of these.
    1. Land of Dream (Final)
    2. Theme of Understanding (Finished)
    3. Forbidden Lands (Finished)
    4. Path of the Warrior
    5. The Gateway of Portals (Final)
The list goes on, and I think you get the idea.
I won't spoil which sequence will get Complete in it's title, but you can try to guess.

I recently deleted my old Piano Sequence Contest thread, because it's old and done.

My Online Sequencer secrets:
-So I never actually learned how to play a single instrument in my life, but absolutely adore the piano, even though I don't know how to play it.
-I was introduced here by a YouTube video made by Vsauce2 I think it was and it was a video about things you can do online now, ever since then Online Sequencer has become my only way of producing music through my imagination. Not by actually learning all the mumbo-jumbo about how to read music and how to understand it. My first sequence was an unnamed experiment that was a mixture between electric piano and smooth synth.
-On an actual piano I know how to play American Patrol and Moonlight Sonata just by hand alone, not by reading.
-I am not an expert on music theory, or care to become one.
-My least favored sequences that I've created were never ones that I've had my name in the title or put like this: (By Eric)
-I don't like Electric Piano as much as I like Grand Piano. I don't use the other instruments.
-I found out how to change note length on my own, I think it was actually an accident. lol
-I do not like dub step.
-I adore rock jazz, piano music, classic rock and roll music, and anime soundtracks.
-I have no idea where, how, and when I came up with the tune "Tower of Glass" or it's title. This is why it was always my most difficult piece to put together because I never understood how to correctly end it.
-I usually mix around several ideas to use ways of expression in my songs. This is why the beginning, middle, and end sometimes majorly differ from each other.
-I actually mostly move in flow with my music, if I have an idea with the music, I'll make it longer.
-I've thought about adding genre types to my music titles, but never contemplated on it too much.
-My titles are random, and sometimes compare or contrast any other sequence title I've made
-Land of Dream and Land of Nightmare are polar opposites. Theme of Understanding, Theme of the Heart, and Theme of Reasoning are similar in title, but differ greatly in sound.
-I make, create, and post all by my self. Kinda like saying I play solo.
-Some have said that I post a lot of songs at a quick rate, but I only post however many I can get done within a day.
-Don't worry though I do take breaks when I need to refuel ideas.
Anymore info you wanna know then ask :3

MIDI format editing tutorial: (WARNING, techno guru stuff)
1. Use online sequencer to create an original sequence with basic note lengths.
2. When the sequence is complete you can edit the note lengths to your hearts content.
3. Press crtl. shift J for google chrome browser to pull up the console editor.
4. Click the console tab.
5. Here are examples of note length commands:
        Normal Note:      Grid=1/1
        4 length note:     Grid=1/4
        5 length note:     Grid=1/5
        8 length note:     Grid=1/8
        10 length note:   Grid=1/10
        16 length note:   Grid=1/16
6. Switch to 1/2 and 1/4 on the grid to go back to normal note and move around the note you created. You'll do this for every single note.
7. Here's a tip: Copy and paste the note length command that you know you're going to use the most. I use Grid=1/4 the most.
8. This will take a long time depending how long the sequence is. But it is sure as heck worth it. (It took me 3 and a half hours to edit Gate of Portals)
9. Be sure not to lose internet connection while editing or saving any sequences.
10. When finished with the sequence edit put [MIDI version] at the end of the title.
11. Download the MIDI file and look for it in your downloads folder.
12. Go to an MIDI to MP3 conversion site, or any conversion if you like. I use http://www.solmire.com
13. Then once you've put it there use the recommended sound format, or others if you want to.
14. Make the quality the highest possible.
15. Test the first 30 seconds to see if you like it, then if you do then click on convert whole file.
16. The sound is quiet, you can amplify it with another program called Virtual DJ 8, that's what I do anyway.
17. Then once that's finished you can upload it to YouTube if you want.

Hi, I'm quite impressed at your sequences, for someone who doesn't know theory you have awesome melodical taste. Aaand you say you like Jazz Rock? I like Jazz, and Rock, but have never heard that genre, could you recommend a song/band that plays Jazz-Rock?

Cowboy Bebop soundtrack is a great example of Rock-Jazz

Thank you all for 1000 views in my song thread, I hope to make you all enjoy more of my music in the future :3.
It has been a very long journey, but well worth it.
Here are my stepping stones and discovery methods I've found out over time:
0. My very first sequence (untitled mix of electric piano and smooth synth)
1. Creating sequences, grand piano sounds better.
2. How to use the grid (found out on accident XD)
3. My first (final) sequence. [Forbidden Lands]
4. Creating an account and introducing myself and my music to the community.
5. My form of grid use has gradually become better, and continues to become better.
6. My first (End) sequence. [Theme of Understanding]
7. My first (Finished) sequence. [Forbidden Lands]
8. An admin is a fan of me. [DCSM]
9. My first ~Complete~ sequence. [The Heart of Despair]
10. I get second place in a challenge.
11. Land of Nightmare is second best compared to Forbidden Lands (even though Land of Nightmare ended longer and took a lot more work.)
12. I begin remixing and recreating my songs to desired MIDI format.
13. My first conversion. [Land of Dream]
14. I learned how to insert a gif image as my signature.
15. I learned how to change my title, first one I tried was "Best thing since sliced bread" but shortly switched to "OPM of online sequencer"
16. My very first fallback/mistake I forgot to post what i didn't want posted in my threads.

THANK YOU!!!

Any questions just ask.

[Eric]

Here's my method fully explained...
I focus on mainly creating anything I imagine, with a medium to medium-high forte.
I create mainly around 100-110 bpm.
I don't tend repeat as much as your "typical" artist, this makes my songs difficult to memorize.
I was mistaken to think that it was a good quality to make everything a "one shot deal, once you hear the part, it's done" type of song.
Creating on mainly imagination has brought me far, but has recently gotten some serious criticism.

Here's my new method... (method of thinking versus method of imagination)
I'll focus on creating what I imagine, only with much more work ethic, focus, and greatness.
I'll mess around with faster beat songs 125-210 bpm.
I'll make the song more memorable by including a part where I will recognize the most, and repeating it a few more times in the song, depending on the part's length.
I'll create on thinking more than imagination. Meaning I'll think a lot more about how I could make it sound fantastic.
I'll mess around with different instruments and genres. Creating my own music based off the type of genre I see fit.

So far my new method song is "Upside-Down Rain"

[Eric]

I'll be making the full song collection video soon, can't wait till i get this all put together.

[Jonah]

^^^^^^^^ Also can't wait for that collection. Btw will it be on youtube or? I think it'd be cool if you put it on spotify so I can add it to my piano playlist. I don't know how you'd do that though.
