@jgmusic If you're not pushing to learn new things in general, why exist at all?

[Steve Wheeler @SWheelerMusic]

Just a heads up for others, if you're a member of @audiogang, there's a discount code for #GDC you can use on the advanced rate passes, but it's the last day for the rate.

I didn't get an email. But login and go to 'member perks.' Should be there.

Thank you, @audiogang

Great iOS apps for #composers:
- Elf Audio's Koala
- The built-in Voice Memos app

Koala is a particularly obscenely good value.

Enter our giveaway to claim a copy of @Spectrasonics Omnisphere and a portable synth with full integration: @YamahaMusicUSA Reface CS, the @KorgUSA Minilogue XD, or the @WeAreNovation Bass Station II. https://t.co/dmtpB9Oo8l

@ConcernedApe Really excited. You're a real phenom for continuing to update a game that was already awesome with new content. Thanks for the many, many hours of fun.

@jgmusic @metasystem_io The Cubase templates they've got are rock solid and worth picking apart.

I learned the latching switches can be used to show/hide an entire group of switches within a scene. Allows up to double the real estate on a single scene w/o having to switch the entire scene.

@ConcernedApe made a game I've probably put 200+ hrs in on across multiple systems. One of my top 5 fave games of all time. Super talented human that made more or less everything in the game.

Anyway, a cover I did of his track:

Have taught music for over a decade at this point, and I’m still shocked by the lack of note taking.

Does everyone have a photographic memory? I sure don’t.

[Steve Wheeler @SWheelerMusic]

#Stardew rules, and I still can't believe it was a one person effort developing the game.

@ConcernedApe previewed some of 1.6 (!), which I'm really looking forward to, and it reminded me I need to do something with this cover of Moonlight Jellies.

@Ntrospec Sidechain what?

I'll use the sidechain when needed, but I think the term has been diluted to actually mean "external sidechain compression." There's a great many things - internal and external - it's useful for on many different processes.

[Steve Wheeler @SWheelerMusic]

@d16group Really do dig your plugins. Keep up the good work.

@sonicmayhem @InSessionAudio Taiko Creator. Most playable taiko samples I've got. Can be quite dry if needed. Lends itself well to additional processing.

[Steve Wheeler @SWheelerMusic]

You're missing the boat if you only listen to music that you like.

I still fire up the Beatles from time to time. You should probably check out stuff you don't like too. There's things to be learned.

[Steve Wheeler @SWheelerMusic]

@jgmusic If we're going beyond strings as a requirement for orchestration and looking at more a broad sense of instrumentation, this one is one of my favorite books ever: https://t.co/TWPtsc1v2Z

Had the good fortune to study with Lindsay at Miami. Book and teacher are ace.

[Steve Wheeler @SWheelerMusic]

@mpatti Expression maps.

[Steve Wheeler @SWheelerMusic]

@TheFilmScorer Quoted tweet is definitely a goofy opinion. Same idea as people that want to believe Beethoven/Mozart/Bach wrote the greatest music of all time. It's good. There's music out today that is equally good but different.

[Steve Wheeler @SWheelerMusic]

@TheVGMLover Unironically, Lisa the Joyful. Some absolute rippers: https://t.co/GbtI4Qr2zW

[Steve Wheeler @SWheelerMusic]

@grantkirkhope It's disgraceful. I thought cable royalties were bad, and somehow, like a truly deranged limbo, the bar for royalties gets lower.

Yet we can't have a composers' union because that would be considered a cartel in the eyes of the law.

[Steve Wheeler @SWheelerMusic]

The Mother Revisited album with Keiichi Suzuki is pretty rad. I finally checked it out today: https://t.co/N0zU8KU5uy

[Steve Wheeler @SWheelerMusic]

They finally added resizing to #Kontakt. Not perfect, but holy moly, is it way better than ctrl+mouse wheel.
