holidays - he never remembers when secretaries’ day is (he firmly believes than holidays should have a DATE to count, none of that nth weekday of whenever shit), but he’s told her to get herself something nice on his dime every year. generally she’s the type to self-sacrifice and act like a martyr about it (modest like that) but once in a while, if there’s a treat she REALLY wants, she’ll use his checkbook and say it was a secretaries’ day present. he never objects. she deserves it.

insane moment: in let’s say 1973, once they’re bankrupt and struggling, she gets herself something stupidly frivolous—she’s not the furs-and-jewelry type, but she’s feeling bitter and in the mood for a fight. he’ll lecture her for wasting his money, she gets to say “so something nice for me is a waste of money?” except when he sees it and asks where she got it, and she says he bought it for her, he’s glad. he hates her self-denial schtick, she’s been working hard, she deserves it. let folks see he can still treat his girl right. (but it WAS a waste of money! how can he be so careless! oh she’s SO mad, and she doesn’t even get her fight. if she returns it he doesn’t notice, but I’m not sure she does—she does deserve it.) might throw this into t+t, it’s pretty

dancing - dance marathons were a big fad when they were growing up, they both know how to cut a rug. cave warms up the dance floor at every company party. caroline makes a point to dance with other men, ostensibly to keep their cover (it would look untoward if they only danced with each other) but nobody’s fuckin fooled by that, including cave. he knows (correctly) that she just likes him cutting in. her favorite move:

scope out the prettiest girl here

palm cave off on prettiest girl

flirt a little with some nearby dude until he asks her to dance

never make eye contact with her partner the whole dance, because she’s watching cave watching her (while he ignores the pretty girl (she pays more attention to his pretty girl than her own dude (for normal heterosexual reasons)))

see how long his jealousy can simmer before he takes her back

if the dude is clueless enough to flirt with her while dancing, she will immediately recoil, which is cave’s cue to drop everything and go into the “is this guy bothering you?” routine. if the dude then does anything but back off while apologizing profusely, he will get canned. everyone who’s worked at aperture long enough recognizes this pattern and steers clear of it.

singing - she sings in private, when she’s relaxed or alone. she doesn’t sing FOR him, but she’ll sometimes do it when he’s near enough to hear. he likes that. knowing she has a nice voice and wanting to show her off, he once tried to goad her into singing at a company christmas nondenominational winter holiday party. just a casual thing, makeshift karaoke with jane from the typing pool on the piano. oh boy she did not like that at all. silent angry tears at the end of the night, no sex for a week, no GOOD sex until new year’s. he didn’t make that mistake twice.

bonus: opera is a glados thing, not a caroline thing. she likes the way it resonates inside herself, now that she has a body with great acoustics.

bonus bonus: not only is ellen mclain a professional operatic soprano, jk simmons ALSO has a musical theatre background, and does sing (god fucking help me)

waittttt how are you not paying for spotify premium or apple music what's your secret

i had an ipod touch for five years, i have experience in getting offline music. i hope you’re okay with breaking the law a little. i don't usually share this information but i can’t say no to my inbox.

disclamier #1: i’m not pirating “apple music” but ive been putting stuff in my apple library free of charge for years. i have free spotify so i dont really need ANOTHER streaming service, but i like downloading music for offline play.

disclaimer #2: i have an iphone and an hp laptop. i have no idea if this works on android/mac/linux, but feel free to try.

SPOTIFY

*ive heard this only works if your phone is jailbroken. its worked for all of my friends just fine, so give it a shot whether your phone is jailbroken or not*

1. alright so first you’re gonna delete free spotify off your phone.

2. you’re gonna google this thing called a configuration profile on your phone. i use app valley, but there’s a few out there.

3. find one and download it, and allow it to makes changes to your phone (settings > general > profiles & device management on iphone).

4. open that bad boy up and look for spotify. yes i know it looks sketchy and yes i know they have a lot of jailbroken apps but we’re looking for spotify. i’ve had the most luck with spotify ++ and spotify fix, but you can get one of the colorful ones if you want.

5. download it.

6. once its on your phone, go to the same place in settings and look at your “enterprise apps.” select it and trust it. now, log into the app just like you would spotify.

7. now you’ve got free spotify except you can’t download songs for offline play. that’s where we get into free apple music.

*free premium speads to your computer/console/wherever you have spotify downloaded, so no more ads anywhere*

*sometimes free spotify goes down, you get a notification about how the “certificates can’t be trusted” when you try to open the app. delete it and try to download it again. if that doesn’t work, you have to go back to free spotify, but it comes back. trust me.*

APPLE MUSIC (OR RATHER, A FREE ITUNES LIBRARY)

*THIS TAKES A LAPTOP AND A CHARGING CABLE*

*IF YOU’RE GETTING A SMALLER ARTIST’S MUSIC, YOU’RE GONNA EITHER BUY THEIR MUSIC OR BUY SOME MERCH OR SHOUT THEM OUT AND SUPPORT THEM. IF YOU’RE STEALING FROM SOMEONE FAMOUS YOU’RE GONNA DO THIS WITHOUT GUILT*

1. open up youtube and a youtube to mp3 converter. ive used mp3juices for years but use whatever makes you comfortable.

2. now, you’re gonna make sure you’re getting ads on youtube by whitelisting it on your adblocker, because in this house we support independent creators and we support those fine ass bitches through ad rev you hear me?

3. now that you’ve done your part, you’re gonna look up the song you want to download, the artist, and “topic”. (ex. “mr brightside the killers topic). this is gonna lead you to a high-res audio of the song without any weird breaks or speaking in it, unlike a lyric video or a music video. some songs don’t have “topic” videos, so you have to quality check them. it really doesn’t matter, but im really picky with what i download. the “topic” audios are part of youtube music but anyone can listen to them. they’re literally made to be downloaded and they support the artist.

4. copy the link and paste it into your converter, then download it. close any other tabs the converter tries to open up and don’t worry about them. you’re gonna download as many songs as you want. i usually do an album at a time.

*if you don’t care about album art/album organization, skip to step 10. i care a lot, so the next part is really important to me*

5. once you’re done, you’re gonna put all of those audio files on your desktop and get to the real pirating. if you’re like me and getting full albums at once, you can make this easier by selecting every song in an album at a time. all the info doesn’t have to go in at the same time. right-click and go down to “properties”

6. once you’re there go over to the details tab

7. i hope you didn’t close firefox bc we’re gonna google the album. you need, in order, the following:

- the song title

- the album artist

- the album name

-the year

-the song # on the album

-the genre

and, if you look down at the “origin”, you need the publisher. the publisher is the record company (island records, warner, billboard, etc).

the internet is going to give you all of this on page one. if you can’t find something wikipedia has your back. while you’re there get the apple music album art. (ex. “american idiot apple”)

8. you can put in things like the album name and artist for multiple songs at the same time. i do that and then go back and change the song names/track numbers. dont forget to change the file name in general as well. this is more for organization’s sake but still, do it. don’t stress about special characters.

9. once you’ve changed all the properties, make a folder for the album. drop the album’s songs in it. if you’re only downloading one song, or a handful of singles/songs on different albums, this is optional.

10. open itunes

11. drag and drop the album folder/re-propertied album file into itunes. let it transfer. there will be no album art. there’s not suppoed to be album art yet.

12. right click on the album in itunes. go over to the “album art” tab. it’s gonna be empty. look at the bottom and click “add album art” (or something similar). upload the album art you downloaded. its gonna be blurry but thats gonna go away once its on your phone

13. now, plug your phone into your computer and sync your phone. the music and the album art should get synced. if you get any error messages, or if the album art doesn’t transfer, retry it. you might have to close itunes or restart your phone, but it usually works. dont give up, no one said stealing from the rich was easy

14. once the music is on your phone, don’t delete the files. i have a music folder on my desktop with all of my albums in it. if you delete the audio files on your computer, your phone will lose the tracks the next time you add music.

15. enjoy your music! if you did steps 5-9, everything will look legit and apple will be none the wiser. if you skipped those steps, you’ll still have music on your phone.

*i have friends that have done this with androids through the google music app. you might have to do something a little different, but it should still work.*

if you still feel bad about stealing music/you don’t have a laptop, there are other options. apps like audiomack and musi let you download music to listen to offline in their apps. both apps have ads online but they dont’ interrupt playback , and both apps let you lock your phone or switch apps. as long as you don’t sell these songs as your own, it’s not technically illegal ;)

happy pirating!

#long post #music #apple music #spotify #this post has links its gonna be hidden anyways #anon asks #asks #the chronicles of screech breaking the law #kinda #i hope this makes sense

1. Do you like Ferrero Rocher chocolate?: Yeah I could probs eat a whole box by myself. I mean it is way too hyped, and the attention is unnecessary, but I like it nonetheless. 2. What’s the most expensive thing your car needed to get done?: It hasn’t been seriously damaged so nothing huge...maybe just oil changes. 3. If you had a thousand dollars to spend on a pricey brand you like but can’t really afford (until now of course), which ONE brand would you chose?: Michael Kors sneakers. They’re not super pricey but they still cost a bit for a pair of sneakers, so I’d loooove to have one for myself.

4. Do you still own any clothes you had in middle school? Like what?: NO. I threw up them out years ago. Fortunately–my middle school wardrobe was barf-worthy. 5. Do you like candy canes?: Yeah but it’s only super exciting to eat them during Christmas. I’m never in the mood for them if it’s a different time of the year.

6. What genre was the last movie you saw? And was it any good?: Revolutionary Road is romantic drama. It’s one of my favorite films; it’s really, really good but it’s the kind of piece you’ll have to emotionally prepare for because it’s so heavy.

7. Do you think George Clooney was hot when he was younger?: He’s attractive then and now. 8. …what about now?: ^ 9. How many pairs of flip flops do you own?: Two or three.

Did you ever submit anything to them?: Never heard of it. 12. Do you still talk to any of your old teachers?: Not anymore. I keep in touch with some but only barely – that’s to say I’m still friends with them on Facebook/following them on Twitter, but that’s it. I don’t talk to them, except for one who’s a little cooler and more understanding than the rest of the more conservative teachers I had. 3. Do you have Twitter? What do you mostly use it for?: Yes, it’s my favorite social media. That’s where I put everything – life, feelings, annoyances, sad stuff, fangirling, talking to my friends. 14. What color is your cell phone?: Space gray. 15. How many cell phones have you had in your lifetime?: 7. 16. Does your family still use the home phone or are you all on cell phones now?: Yes. The older generation and even company offices will still prefer landline so it’s common to see home phones everywhere. 17. How old were you when you got your first cell phone?: I had mine on my 7th birthday. The kids around me were starting to get their own phones and I got super envious, so it was what I asked for. Looking back, it’s an insanely young age to get a phone and I probably wouldn’t do the same for my kids. 18. Enough with the phones. When is/was your 21st birthday?: This year! 19. What color was the dress you wore to your senior prom?: I didn’t have a senior prom. My prom was in junior year and it was a shade of gold/beige; I don’t really remember. I hated prom and I deleted all photos and memories from that night. I was also invited to a senior ball though and for that night I had a royal blue gown. 20. Ever go to another school’s prom?: Not prom, but another school’s senior ball. 21. Ever take melatonin supplements to help you go to sleep?: Nope. 22. Do you like burning candles or incense?: I’d enjoy it if I encountered them, but I don’t buy them for myself or know anyone who uses them regularly. 23. Do you like doing laundry?: My mom prefers to do everyone’s laundry by herself and it kinda frustrates me cos I want her to start like, teaching me or something so I’ll know how to do it when the time comes. She’s not though, so I guess I’ll have to teach myself. 24. Ever throw a pair of your shoes in the washing machine? How did they come out?: No. Is that allowed??? 25. Do you own a real pair of Uggs?: No. 26. Do you ever venture into the woods? What do you normally do in there?: No. I live nowhere near the woods. 27. Favorite pizza toppings?: Barbecue sauce, chicken bits, any kind of cheese. 28. Favorite salad dressing?: I don’t really mix and match with salads so the classic caesar dressing will do (cos it’s all I know hahaha). 29. What’s the most you’d spend on a new pair of jeans?: P2,000. Google says that’s equal to more or less $38.60. 30. Do you like to wear shorts or capris in the summer?: YES. I need to wear airy, short stuff in the summer because otherwise I’d feel constricted and hot and I would be very pissy. 31. What do you think of Bermuda shorts?: Not my style. 32. What does your bathing suit look like this year?: It’s an all-black two-piece that just looks super cute on me hahaha. 33. Are you ready for summer 2018?: It’s 2019 now but I remember being meh about that summer. I enrolled in a midyear term to keep getting allowance from my parents lol, but I never wanted to go to school then, so I was still a bit miserable. 34. Did you ever use iconator.com? Are you upset that it’s gone now?: I don’t think I recognize that. 35. Speaking of AIM icons… do you still use AIM?: Isn’t it dead? 36. Do you still buy CDs?: Not anymore. The last one I got was either Paramore’s self-titled or One Direction’s Midnight Memories. Both came out in 2013 so I don’t remember which one I bought last. 37. Be honest…how much of the music in your iTunes library did you actually pay for?: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA NONE. YouTube to MP3 was my lifeblood back then, along with the habit of downloading album art from Google Images to match to the songs so that my playlists looked legit. 38. Does your significant other ever make you mix CDs?: No, because that’s not a thing anymore. Gabie did make me a couple of personalized playlists during our first months together. 39. How often do you have to empty your text inbox because it got full?: My inbox never gets full. 40. Does your phone have a keyboard, touch screen, or neither?: Touch screen. 41. How did you dress your freshman year of high school?: I was peak wrestling fan back then so I liked wearing wrestling shirts paired with jeans, and Chucks because AJ Lee was into those. Pretty straightforward. 42. What religion are you?: I’m a frustrated atheist. 43. What color are the pajama pants you wore last?: I don’t wear pajamas to bed. 44. Were you obsessed with the Spice Girls back in the day?: I was never into them, and the only songs I know are their popular ones so I really couldn’t be any less interested. 45.

Jumping Down the Vinyl Record Collecting Rabbit Hole

There are two ways of looking at keeping vinyl records — as an art form or as an investment. If you're collecting for yourself, the first option is more fun but also potentially costly if you don't know what you want. The other path can lead down a rabbit hole that's difficult to escape from once you've got into it. It might not be worth the money either.

I'm going to assume here that you've chosen the latter route, which means you have no real interest beyond having something tangible collectible-like with books or baseball cards. If this sounds like you, let me introduce you to my friend Dave LeClair who has kept his entire vinyl collection since 1977. His advice? "Don’t worry about cost."

"Just buy whatever you think will make you happy," he said over email. "And put them all together in one big crate. That way they’ll take up less room."

Leclair, who lives in Portland, Oregon, told us that he bought his first album when he was 14 years old after seeing its cover on television. He didn't even really understand much about how albums worked before that point, so it wasn't until later that he realized he could actually play them back himself. Now, nearly 40 years later, he still owns hundreds of classic albums that he never listens to anymore. But he doesn't regret any purchase decisions whatsoever.

Not everyone agrees with that logic though. Vinyl purists often insist that quality makes better use of scarce resources than MP3s do while digital hoarders say nothing beats owning physical media. So I asked several people who keep their collections alive whether they thought it made sense to buy new releases digitally because those were cheaper. All agreed that the answer was yes. And most noted that listening to Spotify or Pandora might help curb impulse buys.

So if you find a great new release today, go ahead and download it onto your phone or computer. You'll probably listen to it twice before adding it to your growing library of tunes online. Once you've decided to add it to your ever-expanding collection, however, there are only three things left to consider: How long should you wait before purchasing another copy, where do you store it, and why would anyone care about what you've collected? Let's address each concern one at a time.

Find the right space

Vinyl needs proper storage conditions to maintain sound quality, just like CDs need certain temperatures and humidity levels to avoid warping. Most importantly, however, is ensuring you can access your records without getting hit by cars or tripping over them.

"You definitely need somewhere safe where [you] won’t bump into them or drop them accidentally," said Le Clair. “That’s pretty easy these days thanks to technology. Just set aside a shelf near a window or something similar. They usually aren’t too heavy and aren’t very expensive.”

He added that storing records vertically instead of horizontally helps protect against static electricity that causes damage. In fact, many experts recommend hanging your records upside down as opposed to placing them flat on top of shelves. This technique prevents dust buildup around grooves and keeps air flow moving through the stack.

Start small

Once you've found a good place to stash your newfound treasure trove, it’s time to decide exactly which ones deserve permanent residence within your collection. A few questions to ask yourself include whether you enjoy the artwork, does the songwriting or performance capture your attention, and did enough others share your sentiments to warrant inclusion?

It may seem silly to pick out favorites among recordings you've enjoyed equally, but doing so can teach you a lot about what works well and what doesn't. For example, perhaps you liked Nirvana's debut LP Nevermind but had zero desire to check out sophomore effort Incesticide. Or maybe you loved both but felt differently about the songs off Bad Radio Love Song. Those kinds of differences happen every day between albums released decades apart. By sifting through your collection regularly, you can learn which artists appeal to you most strongly, thus allowing you to focus your efforts on discovering new titles rather than trying to fill gaps in your collection.

In addition to making informed purchases, following your favorite artists' discography can give you a heads up on future releases. Even if an artist isn't planning a comeback anytime soon, there's always a chance you'll hear about a reissue or compilation album coming sometime down the road.

Collect everything (and anything)

As we mentioned earlier, Le Clairs approach centers around simplicity. While you certainly shouldn't shy away from exploring new genres or delving deeper into a particular band's catalog, his method suggests there's little reason to do so unless you're interested in expanding your collection in general.

The idea behind this philosophy comes from his belief that "collecting records is kind of pointless otherwise." Sure, you'd eventually build up a nice selection of jazz albums but wouldn't you prefer to simply buy 10 different copies of Blood On The Tracks? Why spend $20-$30 on one title when you can afford $10-$15 for multiple entries in the same genre?

If collecting new vinyl records, you can often find vinyl deals on a variety of music sites.

"There’s no need to own every album by every artist just because you can," said Le Clair. "Owning a record doesn’t mean you have to play it."

This strategy obviously applies mostly to newer artists, but plenty of established acts release cheap compilations nowadays. One such example is Frank Ocean's Blonde era project Endless, which came packaged with four discs featuring previously unreleased material recorded during sessions for Channel Orange. Another is Kendrick Lamar's 2015 release To Pimp a Butterfly, which included a bonus mixtape called untitled unmastered., despite only containing tracks from K-Dot's 2016 followup Good Kid, M.A.N.D. & El Children.

When selecting items to add to your collection, remember that you can never truly finish building it. There's always another cool album, EP, single, or live recording waiting for you to discover, plus there's no telling what else someone else will stumble upon next. Keep the search open indefinitely and you can rest assured not missing out on anything worthwhile.

Putting on some music

While you're sorting through your newly acquired stacks, try plugging in a few albums and playing them back. Some recommendations include The Velvet Underground & Nico, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From the First Psychedelic Era, 1973-1976, White Light/White Heat, Neil Young and Crazy Horse Greatest Hits, Led Zeppelin II, Yo La Tengo's Fade Away, Tom Waits Complete Discography, John Coltrane Classics, Blue Note Records 1001 Series, Roxy Music Best Of, The Beatles Anthology 2, U2 Songs 1982–2010, Jimi Hendrix Experience / Axis: Bold As Love, Eric Clapton Great Concert Performances, Bob Dylan Live At Carnegie Hall 1963, Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Deluxe Edition, Steely Dan Gaucho, Sixties Power Pop Gems, David Bowie Blackstar, Van Morrison Visions, and Elvis Presley Sun Studio Album Releases.

Some of those suggestions come from our list of 50 essential albums to stream before 2022 ends, while others represent popular choices based on listener feedback. Regardless of your musical tastes, chances are you'll end up enjoying at least one track off each album listed above. Then again, you might dig deeper into the music featured on the playlist embedded below. Either way, you'll likely find something enjoyable amongst the thousands of options available. Afterward, you can continue browsing Amazon for additional options.

Keep it forever

Whether you choose to digitize your treasures or stick solely to hardcopy, you now know everything there is to know about starting your own vinyl collection...for free! However, the biggest takeaway from Le Clair's experiences remains unchanged: Don't waste money on stuff you don't enjoy. Instead, save it for special occasions and revisit tracks you haven't listened to lately whenever possible.

After all, there's nothing wrong with having a large collection of music. Rather, it depends on how you grow it. Whether you choose to dedicate hours per week to digging through crates or invest in a few hundred dollars toward a nice case, there's no question vinyl is far superior to streaming services and downloads. Plus, unlike digital formats, you can carry your entire library wherever you go and pop it into any player regardless of brand loyalty.

Of course, the downside to vinyl is you'll need to clean your turntable periodically. Fortunately, cleaning wax manually takes only five minutes and costs pennies compared to replacing cartridges, styluses, needles, and platters that wear out over time. Not to mention the environmental benefits of using reusable products versus disposable plastic alternatives.

Conclusion

Whatever choice you ultimately make, remember the golden rule of acquiring anything valuable: Be prepared to part with cash. No matter what format you opt for, you're almost guaranteed to pay at least a few bucks per item. And if you're serious about preserving your collection, it pays to shop smart. When you're ready to expand further, consider joining a local record club or attending events hosted by companies like Third Man Records and Record Store Day. These opportunities typically come with perks and discounts that provide ample motivation to stop hoarding and start stocking up.

and I thought I was so cool for having 9000 songs on a playlist and actively following 400 music artists (bows down to the mun) you must know SO MUCH music??? please I feel so humble rn. also you had a walkman?? that doesn't mean old or boring!!! that's fuckin cool!! quill has a walkman!! omfggg no but you actually KNOW how important a walkman is for a lonely kid/teen whose shelter is music so... you're gonna be ENRAGED near the end of GotG2 just sayin. RESPECT to all the music that lives in u!!

{out of paprikash} Yeah... I have a LOT... of music. A ridiculous amount. I’m like a music hoarder haha. And yes haha I had two or three Walkmans because I used them so much I kept wearing them out, lol. And I had two or three cd players after that for the same reason. And then I moved on to mp3 players like the Creative Zen and Sony Digital Walkman and such which I LOVED. But they stopped supporting the software for them and phased them out and I’m so sad. I really hate using my phone and things like YouTube for music, it’s a terrible pain in the ass. With my Zen and digital Walkman it was like... a tiny computer. I just put the music files on there, organized them in folders or playlists however I wanted, didn’t have to care about iTunes crap or not being able to load things on there because licenses clashed or anything like that, I just put on whatever I wanted, and boom... my whole music library on one tiny, credit card sized little player. I loved it so much. But once i could no longer update the firmware, I couldn’t add/delete music anymore and it just broke. They phased them out because everyone was just using their phones and iTunes and stuff but that’s useless to me. I can’t listen to 90% of what I want doing it that way. I’m currently trying to find a better option, heh.

Did I... mention that I am really picky about my music? XDDD

omg wait how do you get a ringtone onto an iphone with the new itunes update? i tried to set it as this mashup of something and it didnt work :(

Hi Lovely!

Okay, so in the old iTunes, I used to have a folder synced on my computer so that when I added a new ringtone, I just plopped it in there and it updated whenever I plugged in my phone. For some asinine reason, Apple decided that was too easy and decided to hide how to put on a new ringtone.

When I did mine recently, I found this website here very helpful; I’ll simplify it for you, so that I also have the instructions and I can add my own again without googling how to do it LOL.

Okay, so I’ll go from start to finish, since I always make my own ringtones. For this tutorial, you will need Audacity, which you can download for free here (always support open source programs! . Audacity also requires a plug-in to convert audio files to MP3; it’s also free and instructions on how to install it are here.

NOTE: You CAN also make ringtones in iTunes, I just prefer to do it in Audacity because you can be a lot more precise on the length and the Start-Stop positions and play with the audio; in iTunes you need to know EXACTLY the start stop times. The initial tutorial website shows you step by step how to make a ringtone using iTunes, so you can do that if installing and prepping programs is a bit daunting for you! I always have the most difficult way possible to do anything, but if you’re willing to put the time in, it’s also the most fun :D

Either way, remember that the most IDEAL RINGTONES are between 20 and 30 seconds; the longest you can make one for iPhone is I THINK 45 seconds.

If you want to just make the ringtone, skip to Section B: Adding the Ringtone in iTunes.

NOTE YOU NEED TO HAVE AN UPDATED iOS FOR THIS TO WORK. I am running iOS 11.0.3 on my iPhone 6S Plus.

Okay so here we go!

A. Making Your Ringtone Using Audacity

1. Choose your song; it can be any song, as long as it’s a format supported by Audacity (FLAC, WAV, AAC, and MP3 I know for sure. I believe it supports all kinds of audio files). Right click, and choose “Open With > Audacity”.

2. So now you’ll see a waveform in Audacity. If you’re not familiar with audio editing, it can look very scary!:

BUT it’s useful for finding the part you want to make a ringtone, and is a lot more precise, because you can see where all the downbeats are in your song! As well, Audacity’s save function works like Photoshop PSD files: it saves all the layers you make of your clip, so if you want to make a mashup of a bunch of songs, you can totally do that too! Clip out the section you want to be your tone. It will require you to play with the audio sample. Remember: try to keep your clipping under 30 seconds! Audacity has a lot of fun features like tone shifting, fades and speed adjustment, so if you want a really unique ringtone, you can adjust the octave of the song or you can have fade-outs. If you’re really ambitious play with it so it makes a perfect loop!

ANYWAY. So clip out your chunk and make sure it’s what you think you want for a ringtone and that it’s clipped and edited the way you want it, and it’s under 30 seconds.

Now go to FILE > EXPORT AUDIO (Shift-CMD-E). If you’ve loaded the LAME encoder correctly, you should see MP3 as an option:

These are the settings I use for all my MP3 output. Save your MP3 in a temporary spot; you won’t need it again and can delete it after you make your Tone.

3. Now we will open up the MP3 in iTunes. Double click on the file to open it and then find it in your playlist. What we’re going to do now is Import the song from iTunes into an AAC file. To do this, you need to change the Import Options in iTunes. It took me a bit to find them since they got moved around a bit. Go to iTunes > Preferences (CMD-Comma), and you will be shown the “General Tab”; at the bottom, you will see a button for “Import Settings”; click on it.

And on the dropdown menu, make sure that “AAC Encoder” is selected. I think it’s the default, but double check. As an aside, if you rip CD’s, this is where you change it so they save as MP3′s, not M4A’s (which is what AAC’s will make).

4. So now that we’ve ensured that it is the proper format, we’re going to Convert the MP3.

Go to FILE > CONVERT > CREATE AAC Version. This will make a duplicate version underneath the one you have.

Right-click on the second file, and “Show in Finder” (or the Windows equivalent to showing you the file location). This will bring up the file’s location on your computer. For ease, pull it out of the folder, and put it onto your desktop, then delete any folders it created. Go back to iTunes and delete from your library both the MP3 and the duplicate file, as you won’t need them anymore.

5. Now we’re going to Change the File’s extension. For this step, you need to make sure your computer is set to show file extensions. In Windows, this setting is under “Appearance and Preferences” I think, and on Mac it’s shown by default for files on the desktop, I believe (if not, it’s under FINDER > Preferences > Advanced > Show Extensions).

Change the file extension to *.m4r. Click on “change to *.m4r” when prompted.

B. Adding the Ringtone in iTunes

Now, the next part is the frustrating bit, because ALL the tutorials I found wasn’t clear on the syncing aspect of this. A lot of them essentially told me to turn off all my syncing, which, uh, NO because I have a tonne of music and if you de-sync your playlists, it deletes them from the device. So NO. So I’m going to show you MY sync settings, and show you that as long as you have certain boxes unchecked, you can still add your ringtone.

1. First make sure your iPhone / Pod / Pad / Whatever is hooked up somehow to your computer. BLUETOOTH SYNCING DOES WORK FOR THIS; mine does Bluetooth Syncing (which is the greatest thing ever). You’ll know iTunes found it if it shows up as a little icon on the top and it shows up under “Devices”

2. Set your sync settings. This is is done by clicking on the little iPhone Icon at the top there. You will see this:

Under options, make sure that the “Sync only checked songs and videos” box is UNCHECKED. This will NOT affect your music syncing, as far as I know, because my music stayed synced.

Other tutorials tell you that “Manually manage music and videos” also needs to be checked. IT DOESN’T. Clicking it will eff with your music sync settings, and I was perfectly able to add a tone with it unchecked.

3. Go back to the main sidebar by clicking on the arrow at the top. iTunes will prompt you if you want to Apply changes; hit yes if you did any changes, otherwise cancel.

Click on the drop down arrow next to your Device, so it brings up several options.

If you click on Tones, you can see all of the manual ringtones you have on your phone. In my case, because I have “manually manage your music and videos” deselected, mine are greyed out, so I can’t delete them unless I turn on that checkbox.

4. Drag and Drop your ringtone onto the device. THE BLUE HIGHLIGHTING MUST SHOW UP ON THE DEVICE FOR IT TO WORK, like so:

Even if you have your syncing on, you will see it add itself to your Tones folder. It will take a few seconds, since this is being added DIRECTLY onto the device! A checkmark will show up next to it when it’s completely synced and on the device.

5. Change your tone! Now that we see it has been confirmed to have been moved onto the device, let’s load it up! On your phone, go to your Settings App. Scroll down to “Sounds”, then tap on “Ringtone”. On the Ringtone page, select your newly-added tone; Tapping on it will activate it and you can listen to it in its entirety!

To set it, all you need is that checkmark next to it, and click on the “ text at the top-left. The text in the Ringtone section of the Sounds should now say the name of your new ringtone!

Et voila!

I hope that helped you out, Nonny! And to everyone else, I exclusively use a Mac, so I don’t know if this is interchangeable at all with a PC. I don’t have a PC so I can’t help you out beyond my limited knowledge of it. The tutorial I linked to WAY up top goes to one that has Windows OS, so that should help you out a bit.

Cheers all!

~ THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING ~ I believe, think, know and feel that I can be the gift that keeps on giving. I am ready, willing and able to be giving this time of year and always. I know when, where, how and why to give expecting nothing in return because by giving the act alone opens my heart to boundless possibilities. I am asking in all languages and throughout all time lines and so it is.

From the Fish Box

Dear Jimmy, Let me start off by saying how much I loved meeting you Saturday. You're so amazing to be in the presence of. I felt so intensely aware of love from Spirit and still do. I am drawn to the energy I felt in your presence. It’s so very hard to explain but it’s almost like a feeling of addiction. Addiction to Spirit and Spirits touch! I just had my MRI this morning and prior to the results I told my nurse practitioner about being blessed by Spirit and how meeting you has changed my life. She said I seem lighter and my energy I put off made her feel lighter in conversation! My Dr. walked in after she told him my conversation with her. He was singing the “Jimmy Mack” song! He said I want “him” on my team here! He opened up my last 3 scans and he was speechless! September growth, October even more growth, Today......so much shrinkage that the blood vessel that was once pushed up like a crescent moon was now sagging a slight bit! He had no words for the progress except being dumbfounded! Thanks so much! I can’t wait to see you again! I will be back in December through the end of the year! If you have any free time for me during this time I would love to make an hour appointment with you again! Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for blessing me with Spirit and a renewed faith! All my love and gratitude, Rosemarie

Childish Major is Growing Up: The New New Atlanta

Childish Major is Growing Up: The New New Atlanta: via LANDR Blog

Childish Major turned 25 years old on July 4th, 2016.

For his birthday, he got something most of us only dream of—features from both Isaiah Rashad and SZA on his breakout track, aptly titled “Happy Birthday.”

When you think of The New Atlanta, you probably think of rappers like Future, 21 Savage and Young Thug. You’re probably imagining the detuned lilts of Metro Boomin, or Mike Will Made-It’s distorted “Ear Drummers” producer tag (Read that backwards, and Rae Sremmurd’s name might make more sense all of a sudden).

About 7 minutes from now, you’ll think of one name – Childish Major.

He’s worked with Isaiah Rashad, Jeezy, J. Cole (and his Dreamville imprint), SZA, Rick Ross, Rocko, and too many others to name. But now, Childish Major is becoming an artist in his own right.

He weighed in on vinyl’s role in a digital era, what rappers can do to help producers (and vice versa), and how to get those heads nodding in the studio.

I wanna start by asking you about the track “Happy Birthday,” with Isaiah Rashad and SZA. How did that come together, for you to work with those two?

Around the time Isaiah had announced signing with TDE was around the same time that I produced “U.O.E.N.O.”. So, we were coming up at the same time, but we built the friendship without working at all, just, really being a friend.

I started working on music as an artist, and then I would ask him, “What do you think?” He got “Happy Birthday” and was like, “Yeah, I’ll put something on there.” He did, and then time passed, and he was like, “I want to put this on my project, I think I’m gonna put SZA on.” So, he ended up doing that, thinking that it was gonna be on his album. My birthday came around and I was like, “Man, I wanna drop this song.” So I hit him up like, “Is it cool?” He was like, “Yeah.”

So I just put it out. But yeah – it was friendship first, then the music came after.

There’s a lot going on in that beat. How did you put it together?

I got this VST called Kontakt, and it has a Mellotron simulator, which is an electro-mechanical tape piano.

I was playing around with some chords, which were the chords for “Happy Birthday.” Then, I went in and chopped the breakbeat, laid that on there, did the bass line and everything else. It was actually probably one of my quicker beats.

Where did that break come from?

To be honest, it was in a pack and it wasn’t labeled at all, actually. It was in one of those unlabeled packs.

What’s your process like when you’re looking for samples?

When I was first starting off, I guess I had a lot more patience. I was really into it—searching on the internet, going through old vinyl YouTube rips. The related videos just all start to open and then, you keep going through them, and just download and download and download and download. That’s how it was in the beginning. Now, I know people that make original samples and I play stuff, too. With all the different samples that I got, I have packs in my library that, to this day, I still haven’t been through yet. These days, I just try to find something new in there.

To be honest, it was in a pack and it wasn’t labeled at all, actually. It was in one of those unlabeled packs.

So you just made yourself an archive of samples and sounds that you like, and you dig around in there.

Yeah, just from other persons that I come across or work with, exchanging libraries and stuff that they haven’t used and passed on to me. It’s pretty much just come from collecting throughout the years.

A lot of hip hop production relies on really classic techniques like sampling vinyl, but DAWs and software are making it really modern. How much of your technique is that traditional approach to production, and what kind of modern techniques are you using?

I think it’s off and on. Taking the vinyl, ripping it and sampling—that wasn’t a part of my everyday production method. But it’s something that I do every now and then, I have to be in the mood for it. Sometimes I just want to get in the studio and just go at it. So, it’s a part of it but not a part of it.

But, on the other hand, I am always recording. So during the song, I’m in the post-production part, and I’ll add a tambourine, or some wooden blocks, things like that.

Jeezy was the first person that told me, “Never just give somebody the beat and that be it. This is just as much mine as it is yours.”

So sometimes it’s live percussion, but the rest of it is all digital?

Yeah. For the most part, I’m pretty digital. But sometimes I’ll have a guitar player come in or have other musicians come in.

Old school production approaches, like vinyl flips—is that still relevant? Do people still need to be doing that?

Yes. I wish I did it more, but my patience is not as good as it used to be. But I think it should definitely stay. If you don’t know how to do it, learn how to do it just in case.

You never know what it might change as far as your sound.

I wanted to ask you more about collaboration. Let’s say you’re producing a beat, and you’ve got a rapper that’s gonna jump on it. How finished is the song before they get in there? Do they have input on the structure of the song, or are you giving them a finished beat?

It’s different every time because every artist is different. Have you ever heard of Jace from Two-9? Working with him, he never wants to sit in during the process of making the beat. He’s gonna walk out. So, with an artist like that I just wanna have it ready, or I go through beats. But there’s other artists like J. Cole who want to sit and see me make the beat. Not to tell me what to do—but it allows him to change his ideas and switch his ideas as the beat builds. He doesn’t hear it one way. So it depends on the artist.

Jeezy was the first person that told me, “Never just give somebody the beat and that be it. This is just as much mine as it is yours. Tell me if you like something, tell me if you don’t like something.” When I’m in the studio, I’m vibing off of the artist, or the people in the room. So every time I add something to the beat, I’m looking around to see if those heads are nodding. And if they’re not nodding how I want them to nod, then I switch it up until they do.

I’m pretty digital. But sometimes I’ll have a guitar player come in or have other musicians come in.

With the track that J. Cole produced for you—did you have any input on the production at all?

No, actually, I just let him write. As far as the sequencing of the beat, he gave me the MP3 at first, and I just took the MP3. When I write, I usually change the sequence of the beat. So, it’s an MP3, it’s a two-track, so I can’t really go into the stems like that. And he’s super busy, so, it’s like… if he already gave me a beat, I’m not gonna bother him about that.

But I would take it, take the intro, the outro, and just flip the things around that way, doing as much as I can with what I have. Me being a producer, that’s not that hard.

What was that like for you, to sit on the other side of that table, to be on the artist side of that arrangement?

With J. Cole, it’s very easy. I’ve hopped on other people’s production before, but with it being J. Cole, and coming off of producing something for him, it’s like, “Man, all right, this is real.” Not only is this real, but he’s a real and a genuine person, and he’s a man of his word—he could have let me have the beat and then not cleared it. He believed in me, and that means a lot.

You have to learn how to take that artist and say, “Hey, I know you don’t wanna be in a box, but we gotta put you in a box just a little bit to make the song understandable.”

You have a unique perspective because you’re both a producer and artist. As an artist, what can you do to make things easier for the producer you’re working with, and vice versa?

Really, it’s being both that helps. Being both of them makes perfect sense. As a producer, even if I’m not contributing any lyrics, I can still hear melody, I can still hear where to fill in different spaces as the artist.

So for an artist who’s never produced before, the best thing they could do is to get a little bit familiar with production? That way they know what the other person’s going through.

Yeah. The best thing as an artist would be to get familiar with sequencing and song production. Obviously, everybody’s song structure isn’t the same, but just getting a feel for how a song should feel.

Start there, then go up from there, and then expand. But you wanna know the basics. As a producer, there’s artists that you work with that are totally against the grain—where they can’t tell what’s what, as far as the song sequence. You have to learn how to take that artist and say, “Hey, I know you don’t wanna be in a box, but we gotta put you in a box just a little bit to make the song understandable.”

Editing File Tags The Easy Way With Mp3tag for Mac

Editing file tags is still a thing in 2021. I thought I'd have a flying car at the turn of the century, and I thought editing file tags would be a thing of the past by now. However, we're far from anything resembling the extinction of tag editing. In fact, it's still critical on every platform I use, and I use almost all of them from Aurender, Lumin, Naim, Roon, and many more. Yes, tags are even important in Roon, an app that for the most part doesn't use tags.

Released today from indie software developer Florian Heidenreich, is the new Mp3tag for Mac app. Don't let the name fool you. The app really has nothing to do with MP3 files. MP3 is just one of many file formats that Mp3tag can edit. I've tested the app several times on several platforms and really love how well it works and it's simplicity.

Here's how I use Mp3tag for Mac. I think a light will illuminate in many people's minds as they see how easy and beneficial the app really is. Audiophiles using apps such as JRiver or Audirvana on their Mac, already have built-in tag editing. Mp3tag is magical for everyone else, especially those using UPnP/DLNA servers and high end music servers.

This week I received the physical CD for Congo Blue, a direct to disc recording from Disk Union in Japan, and a download for David Chesky's forthcoming Songs for a Broken World album. I used Mp3tag on both releases and it couldn't be happier about the experience.

The Chesky album's files had absolutely zero tags, but I didn't notice this until I had copied them to my QNAP NAS and Aurender N20. Roon did an OK job of naming the albums from the folder structure and extracting names from the files names, but the album was listed under Various Artists. Roon has no clue who, what, when, where, etc... without file tags because no information is available about this release from its online sources.

I opened Mp3tag, and just dragged the album's tracks from my NAS to the Mp3tag window, through macOS finder. Note, the files remain on the NAS. I added all the tags I needed and high resolution album art through Mp3tag, clicked Save changes to files. That's it, all the tags were updated/added to the files on my NAS and Roon automatically changed Various Artists to David Chesky and used my high resolution art.

The same goes for my Aurender N20. I navigated to the N20 through finder, the same way I copied files to the music server initially. I dragged the album's folder into Mp3tag, again the files remained on the N20, and edited everything I needed to edit. I updated my Aurender library through the Conductor app and all was right in the world.

I absolutely love that Mp3tag can edit local files and network / music server files without moving them. The bigger picture here is that Mp3tag can be used on any number of albums, sitting on a NAS or music server or even locally, that people have collected over the years and just haven't felt like editing. One reason why I use Mp3tag over an app like Audirvana or JRiver for tagging, is because it's so easy. The only thing Mp3tag for Mac does is edit/add file tags. There is nothing to remember when opening the app after a long day at the office. Just open it and off you go.

I could repeat this entire story again for the Congo Blue CD I received and ripped, but I'll mention one additional reason why I like Mp3tag. It isn't a different feature, but it's a human thing. Attached to my NAS I have a 16TB USB drive. I haven't setup auto backup to this drive yet. The drive currently has an exact copy of everything stored on the NAS RAID array. This means that everything I copy to the NAS also gets copied to the backup USB drive. I do this over the network because it's easiest, rather than QNAP's file manager.

I opened the Congo Blue ripped CD on my backup USB drive and edited it the same way I edited the main version on the NAS. Drag, drop, edit, save, done. Editing the backup copy reminded me of all the times I've made adjustments to my main music source on the NAS or Aurender, and never changed the same info on my backup copy. Call it laziness, forgetfulness, or being too busy, I didn't get it done. Using Mp3tag, I can easily go through my backup drive and make quick changes that I'd neglected when I made the change previously on the main source.

Note 1: At first I couldn't figure out how to remove the files from the Mp3tag window after editing them. I was hesitant to click the Remove option after selecting the files and right-clicking. I eventually clicked around and found out. Just select the files, right-click, and select Remove (NOT Remove Tag). The files are removed from the window, not the source.

Note 2: By default upon opening the app Mp3tag opens the last files that were open when the app was closed. This can be changed in the app's preferences next to Startup Folder. See the image below.

This app is so easy and works very well. It's one of those apps you don't know you need until you try it. I'm never removing it. It's an indispensable $20 tool in my digital toolbox.

Windows users likely know this already, but MP3TAG has been a go-to editor on that platform for years. Mac users can now enjoy it on both Intel Macs and natively on Apple Silicon based Macs.

Highly recommended. Spend the $20, you won't regret it. I don't make a penny off the sale of this app, I just like it so much that want to share it with the Audiophile Style Community.
