Patience is required for this music production app video - at 1x speed.

There are LOTS of music apps out there, but I found this nice Brian Eno and Robert Fripp inspired ambient sound with a fascinating GUI worth sharing.

Music production has come a long way since I last basic-mixed and mashed stuff 20+ years ago and composed 30+ years ago. Like learning about real-life practical (not illustrated or CGI) lighting, cameras, and rigs, I'm very new to all of this digital music production. I'd always wanted to learn FruityLoops, Reason, etc. but felt overwhelmed - now ever more. Yet I got an M-Audio Oxygen Pro Mini. Though now I realize I might not have needed it - yet. (I have endless ideas for future projects.)

From 1995 I dug up a piece I'd composed on sheet music paper (likely lost to time), had it checked over by my grandmother (a life-long piano and music-theory teacher, and music history author), plugged it into a Pentium PC with a basic midi editor, and expanded it into 8 channels with different midi voices for a Bach-inspired, slightly Enya-esque, music-box-like sound that will be great for the Santa Libertas sections of The LeverMind Variety Show (the agorism, autonomy, and voluntaryism shows I'm been developing) titles, credits, shorter interludes, sound effects, etc. I even had this track default-load on my Audio page on my WickedSunshine.com site in 2003-2004, as evident in the code but not archived on the Wayback. The midi file as is very good, but needs sounds engineering as it's slightly robotic, needs atmosphere, and some voices over-dominate others. (Plus I heard then found one little note out of place, not dissonant, repeated in tune, but not where it should be in the progression. And maybe, I might even be able to tweak a few chords for more depth.)

On top of learning sound-engineering, I have to come up with 43 seconds of live-action footage, animation/post-effects, and editing for the Santa Libertas show titles sequence - and have it easily segmented so that self-contained sub-sections of the 43 audio-visual seconds can stand alone rather than play out in full. These sub-section clips could be useful for intros, outros, segues, samples, highlights, accents, etc. Fortunately my composition can easily facilitate this.

Weird.

I thought I posted this Submit (new) post to post-whenever.

Also weird, I assumed the above comment would be part of the OP, below the link.

I'm not sure about the post whenever part. I tested them last night and both buttons seemed to work as intended.

Because we don't have combined post types, text vs link, if you put in both it turns the text into a comment. It's partially reflected in the bonus points report. It switches from +1 text post to +1 lead comment.
