Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread
Tass, in the future will FFR be able to handle 187 BPM 24th note stream? If so, could I send in my file and just keep it in the queue until the upgrade happens?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread
I was working on a file for that song a bit ago. I stepped liked half of it, and quit because 1: It's to repetitive. It just keeps looping the same things over and over with different layering. And 2: It was retarded. No 3-framers, but it still would have been rejected either way. Kind of curious to see what you could have done with it...
Newgrounds has some great artists, shut up.Originally posted by stargroup100

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread
I just do all of that because of sarcasm, I know my grammar pretty well even though I am just a lousy little 8th grader
(In addition to that English is my secondary language and I can spell better than 90% of American/English people on here whose first language is English)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread
grammer can goes to sucks me dick
Smartdude and I seem to think on the same level, but we approach at different angles. Huh.
Oh fyi jazz is awesome. It's just that most everyone on FFR is too dumb to notice a good piece of music when they hear one.
I do agree that people should stop stepping kyle ward though, he already has tons of music in-game, we don't need more.
Newgrounds has a few good artists, but so few that it's really just not worth going there unless someone directly links you the artist's page.
And finally, the collab file I worked on with bmah is going to be freaking sweet.Rhythm Simulation Guide

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread
Agree to disagree, but I too feel that quieter pieces of music are a pain to play. We're not noticing the pieces because we're dumb, we're not noticing them because we're playing something like Crowdpleaser or Hero's Theme (w.i.p.). Agreed on Kyle Ward. Newgrounds has a few good artists, but it all depends on your taste in music. You have a jazz taste, and I think we all can tell that based on your files.----------------Comment

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread
Um, it's not a personal opinion. It really is fact.
While you can't say that every jazz song is great, because it certainly isn't, it is actually valid to say that jazz is a great genre and dismiss any negative comments about the genre.
The problem is that people are too opinion-based when it comes to music. There's always talk saying "oh I like this song you don't we have different tastes." In many cases you can actually claim and prove the quality of a song, just like how you can prove the quality of a stepfile.
That doesn't mean you can prove it with every case though. Sometimes the contrasting strengths or different styles of 2 songs in general make it impossible to compare, and sometimes the quality might even be ambiguous (avant-grade rofl), but generally quality can be proven.
Just because we have our own opinions in art doesn't mean there aren't concrete rules and facts behind every situation. Anyone who knows a lot about music will agree with me.
Now back to the statement about jazz. Jazz is great not only because of its influence and history, but also because of its technicality. Jazz was the first genre to break all the rules of music with its complex chords (9ths, 11ths, and 13ths, even funky stuff like half-dim sus4 and block chords) and use swing, a totally new element. Jazz solos not only showed skill and mastery of scales (this includes modes as well as majors and minors, even other variants), but ability to play ridiculously difficult passages. On top of that, these solos were often improvised. It completely revolutionized the music world. European experts generally think of America as a cultural waste dump, but almost unanimously agree that jazz is one of the only good things to come out of the US. If that wasn't enough to convince you, let's just say that without jazz, most rock and hip-hop might not have existed today.
Oh that's not even the beginning. This is a very general paragraph describing a few characteristics of a type of jazz. This stretches into even further genres, and I didn't even start talking about syncopation, its roots, the instrumentation, blue notes, polyrhythms, and more.
Now about classical music. Classical music is generally the king of all music because of its history and because it generally drew the basis and fundamentals of music. While it is by far the most influential genre of all, saying it's better than jazz is not exactly correct. Nor can you say jazz is better. Specific pieces in each genre can highlight the advantages of the genre, what it has over the other one, but these two are too vast to form any concrete superiority. Also, jazz is a new genre, so theoretically, we should be progressing forward, so jazz should be more advanced. Yet because it is new, it's not developed as fully, so it should also be worse. Even today, both genres are growing (slowly, but growing) because of how vast and influential they are, so nothing concrete can be drawn about the genres themselves.Last edited by stargroup100; 01-3-2008, 09:48 PM.Rhythm Simulation Guide

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread
Jazz is a good type of music, yes, I can appreciate that, but it is not as revolutionary as you make it.
Like most of history, it basically repeats what came before it in a different style.
Jazz did not "break the rules" by using 9ths, 11ths, etc. Those started to be used more and more during the romantic period. Go look at some Liszt, he uses those often.
The improvization of the baroque era showed a high mastery of scales and stuff as well, definetly on par to some of the best bebop musicians. Look at any of the Harpsichord solos in the Brandenburg Concertos. Counterpoint and improvization dissappeared after Bach's death because nobody could do it as well as him.
And again, with modes. They too have been around for far longer than jazz. Given, they weren't quite used as much, but they still existed. They appeared more and more often in the romantic era, when composers began to 'break the rules.'
Basically, Jazz picked up what the rest of history didn't use quite as often, and mixed it together.
P.S. Avant garde.
