How does it compare to SmarTTY? (other than its awesome name!)

The question is then, why is it that with all the technology/automation we got hasn't life gotten cheaper?

Yeah, please do try this also. Everyone is different. Personally, When I try just going to bed early, I just end up fully conscious for hours in my bed not falling asleep. (edit: and yes I tried with using f.lux, not using a computer screen

You're right, I should have written it as « sounds like fairy tales to me ». Everybody's different, and I just felt this way because that's the kind of suggestions I often read while I had trouble waking up and made some re

I've tried so many things, and most of the things I read here in the comments sounds like fairy tales (just do it, go to bed earlier, ..). I'll spare you the details (I should make a blog post about it), but here's what worke

Hard to say, I feel it helped a little, as in, when I'm playing with my teacher (without MeloCraft), I more often get the feeling « oh, that doesn't quite sound right, I should move my fingers a little bit ». But that's N=1 a

That's odd, can I ask what version of Windows you're running? How much RAM you got? I only tested it on Win7 and had a friend test it on Win8 and Win10.

I'm sorry you feel this way, as brudgers wrote, there is still a small link at the bottom to download without subscribing. Getting some subscribers is very important to me because I make this tool in my free time, and the only way I ca

I’m on Windows so I can’t test this one, but seeing from the screenshots, it does not seem to be aimed at musical notes and musicians. I don't aim to be the best at frequency analysis. My goal is to help beginner musicians to get more

I only took a quick look for now, but this doesn't seem to give you musical note names? MeloCraft is mainly aimed at musicians, not really for general-purpose spectrogram analysis. Also, no Windows binaries available? I understand it&#

It's FFT-based. Then I do some basic computation to try and guess the « best » peak, taking the harmonics into account. Still need lots of work and I suck at math.

That's very smart, thanks for the suggestion, it also shouldn't be too hard to add (: Just-intonation and other tunings will be my top priority, there was a lot of demand for it in the violonist reddit.

Hello, I made this tool when I started learning the violin and wanted to correct my pitch despite not having a musical ear. I figured it might be useful to other people (:

Is there a way to download all the instrument samples from the University of Iowa in a single archive file?

by robhack 11y ago
That's interesting, do you have any links you could point me to in order to learn more about this? For instance, let's say we're in C Major. Tune1 = C D F A G C Tune2 = C F D A G C How can you tell which (if any) is wrong or

It does indeed fourier analysis to find the notes. But I'm sorry to disappoint you, it does no progression analysis, so it's useless for this particular exercise (it's only handy to see the notes when you don't have an a

Well, for one, you could not know the tunes and think it's all random chromatic scale piano playing and thus all played « correctly ».

I'm confused, are we supposed to tell whether it matches any Major/Minor diatonic scale? This sounds more like a melodic/scale test, not a pitch test, I was excepting it would ask something more like whether the instrument is

I'm confused, does it support Vista? The PortAudio comparison made me believe it doesn't, as this is written in PortAudio's pros : « Supports older versions of Windows than Windows 7. » [1] [1] https://github.com&#

Looks very interesting, I might switch from PortAudio to this for my project. But I think I'll wait a bit though, I'm not quite ready to give up on WinXP/Vista support yet.

I've been on a TrulyErgonomic for the past 3 years, and on a TypeMatrix before that (using the Bépo layout, a french dvorak), and while I've been happy with both of them, I would advise to check the ErgoDox, Axios, and Keyboardio

Interesting.. I mainly use a bicycle for commuting/shopping, however, the left turns almost always scare me, to the point where I'm thinking of using pedestrian crosswalk instead. Better safe than sorry..

I did 37 too. I'm not officially autistic, but I think I have some of the traits, or maybe it's just that I'm a big introvert.

Not everything has to be about ROI, especially when it comes to art, in my opinion. For example, I might want to write a fiction book even though I know I won't sell any, just because it's something that inspires me and want to ha

1997 but still relevant today, nice! (well, except maybe the very last part about tapes and not being able to adjust tempo). While this is pretty much a goldmine of information, one thing I would advise of being careful about is about this

Thanks, you might be right. I don't have trouble getting along though, I have trouble approaching and connecting. I can work on the approaching, but the connecting is problematic because of the whole getting bored of anything stuff. Ha

I can definitely imagine that if I had been a farmer in middle-age I could have been happier, because I wouldn't have time to get bored, and I would be doing something useful. In our modern world however, really useful stuff is done by

Well I can definitely count as being happy as a children, and quite often depressed as an adult. But material deprivation doesn't explain that, at all. As a child/teenager I could be happy just playing around (outside/legos&#
