weird aside but watching/listening to practiced music producers put together a song feels like magic to me, it's crazy how things can fall into place so easily I like to think I have a good ear for music and have been told I have perfect pitch but my attempts at arrangement/synthesis aren't great

urge hit, tried to do something While I've definitely got the inspiration to try something, I didn't have the energy or time for any sound design, so it's a very rough draft still, I think it can become something, someday #flstudio #deltarune #fnf?

combining my manga studies with my desire to use reference more and a late-night drawing session to draw Candrin sitting on some loot while he looks at you. isn't he a cutie? I feel like I learned a lot but also feel like I'm still majorly lacking in a lot of ways. oh well! #art #digitalart #oc

This is also to say I'd like to have the skills to eventually make a cover album with one of my IRL friends and also so I can better execute the various ideas I have related to Friday Night Funkin' modding even if it's not a very popular or venerable reason to get good at music production haha

I miss following a lot of musicians, there were a lot more on the other site when I was still on there but maybe I just haven't found enough people here Will absolutely take suggestions to follow more producers here. I'm personally an FL user and would wanna learn by osmosis #music #flstudio

Gamedev's still my main focus, but much like I have a big interest in artwork and know I could do better with some more time, patience, and direction, I know the same thing is the case with music production. This is also to say I aspire to do some more music stuff someday in the future

This is also somewhat of an open invitation for music producers/etc along those lines to say hi My main interests for music production are video game music and a pretty wide variety of EDM/electro-adjacent music so I'd be curious how to make those sounds and how to make them sound good

I've had brief periods of inspiration for music but while I've got a vision it sort of fizzles away in execution; I'm good with stuff like Famitracker since I'm limited to less sounds but even then I'm sure I could do a lot better in terms of arrangement and minor details in the song

For me personally, music production and arrangement definitely feels like the case where if I did it more often and had more perpetual motivation to pursue it, I'd be more comfortable with it in general and be more easily able to refine subtle detail and better execute ideas I've got

Learned that there is no Armarouge custom costume for MaGMML3, despite there being a Ceruledge skin so I wanna try and remedy that

tbh if you're someone making videos on YT especially making videos about things you made using coding on YT it might be worthwhile to lead with a "made by humans, no generative AI was used in the creation of this video/game/whatever" splash screen

Grant your applause and enjoy the show as the great Illusionist Zoru takes the stage, with his many tricks and almost unpredictable magic! 🪄

Yoshi in a Boo-ish form OooOOOoOooo If normal Yoshi eats enemies, do you think this one eats their souls? 👀 Or perhaps they eat enemies and turn them into ghosts instead of eggs 🎨: @sigdowee.bsky.social #Yoshi #Nintendo #ghost #Boo #art
