Rawr.

I only got maybe 6 hours of sleep last night. My mom was sick all weekend so I stayed up and had to take care of her. Then at around 12:30 in the middle of the night she passed out twice in the bathroom, the second time she ripped the shower bar off. Now we don't have a shower bar. I also slept in a horribly wrong position, so now the nerves on my neck are hurting. My mom's been sick because there's this massive flu epidemic (not really the vomitting kind of flu, you just suffer from a lot of throat pain, chest pain, coughing, drowsiness; all around you're miserable) in the state of Washington. Apparently there's not a single person who's not going to get this flu, the first symptom is a sore throat and I have that so I probably now have the flu. Yay.

So, while I was up till 1:00 in the morning (I stayed up a little after that falling incident to see if my mom was still okay). I actually made some more progress on my track. I tried adding a little melody and I made most of the second drop. After I finish the rough draft of this I'm going to be doing layering, adding bass, seeing if there's any last minute mixing and then yay I'll have my first of the 12 tracks done in the first two weeks of January. On the side, I'm also trying to learn how to make my own sounds so I can move off of presets (if anyone thinks I made the sounds in any of my recent tracks, yeah sorry. I may throw in a sound of mine here and there, but I haven't fully made a non-preset track).

Anyways, screenshot:

As you can see, I really don't use much space..

You may notice some empty parts after bar 65. The missing drums are supposed to be intentional, but from 65 to 80 is what I got done. Maybe I'll work on mixing unfinished remix after this as well as making some improvements after this, since that's my next closest to finished track. That's also on my resolution list so yay, let's strive for getting 2 tracks done this month.

: : Maybe I might get Lunar Energy done, if I REALLY devote my time to it.

And super quick opinion. I want to try and start uploading to YouTube again, even though I get rarely any views. However, I've noticed just having that poorly edited picture is a little bland... So, I actually found some visualizers off YouTube that I can just download. One user who I talk to said they like visualizers, and some visualizers are pretty cool. I wanted to know, what you guys be mad if I used them? I mean, they aren't mine. But, if I credit who made them, what do you think? I mean, I know Virtual Riot uses them, but mine won't have a fancy logo.

A. Yeah, sure, go for it.

B. No because they aren't yours.

C. I wouldn't really advise it.

D. I don't go on your YT and neither does anyone else.

E. (enter your own answer)

Now to do homework and heal for the rest of the night.

Hey, I don't really know you but I figured I'd answer anyway. I'd say go for it (A). The ones that Virtual Riot uses are beeple's.

I know you slightly. I think I may have seen you a couple times floating about Miiverse, and I did eventually browse your music.

I found quite a bit of beeple and some original ones. I think I'll just use the beeple ones to be safe of copyright for now. Thanks for answering.

holy crapbaskets i think i remember you from miiverse too

What was your username?

I was that cringey 12 year old, Justin 2.0. Alternatively I was Justin 2 depending on if I was banned.

Yep, I definitely know you.

That's crazy. Small world, huh?

Didn't we get into a fight or something? Idk, back then I got into a lot of them.

Yeah. Haven't found many Miiverse users, or those who actually admit being a user on there. So, this is quite an odd encounter lol.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised. Eleven year old me wanted to fight with everyone. I still have Miiverse linked on my page but I've considered removing it since I was permabanned a while back. Don't know why I haven't yet.

If we did fight then I'm sorry for any IQ points I may have deducted from your brain.

I was really uptight back then. I was dealing with the depression and near suicide, then I was dealing with drama on there. Like, that was a high school simulator I'm telling you XD

I still have my page, but I didn't link it here because I wouldn't want people to see what kind of idiot I was. That and I don't even go on there anymore. That 30 post limit killed it for me. I can handle waiting 2 minutes to comment/post, but only 30 a day in total? That's crap right there.

I'm sorry as well, I probably did worse damage.

A probably. Depends on the specifics.

When I finally found all these beeple ones and I can't even decide which one would fit the song smh

The least I could do is try it. I mean, Virtual Riot and DubstepGutter use beeple. Mine just won't have a logo on it, because I simply don't have AfterEffects nor the technical knowledge to even learn how to use that. Worst case if the video gets taken down I'll go back to my crappy photo editor image until I can learn how to make visualizers.

Sorry to hear you were depressed. Hope you're doing better.

Also, on another note, I should tell you that there is a chance of beeple monetizing your video if you use one of his clips. That just means they'll put ads on it. Nothing major.

Oh, yeah, fortunately I've gotten over it.

Ew I hate the fact of somebody having to sit through an ad just to hear a song. Yet, beeple does have cool stuff. Ever seen the 360 degree ones? That had to have taken some time.

Yeah. I've used them. The monetization thing seems kind of rare, though (it's only happened to me once and it was just a banner ad).

Like bought them or just downloading them?

Downloaded them from his website.

Free?

Yeah. There was a link to Vimeo on his website and they were free there.

You think that doesn't use much space, look at MY FLPs, they are too simple. One track for the main melody, one track for the drums, one track for the automation clips, one track for the basslines and one track for the FX. I label them too.

Lol you think mine uses a lot of space? Look at this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5fkDPjDXI8

I started labeling tracks but I got lazy. If I were to separate each sound and put it on its own track, there'd be a lot more.

Oh my god that IS HUGE

I'm not even sure how you'd organize that without labeling the tracks.

I'm not even sure whether it is possible to make something more complex than that
