Sounds From Sound

Sounds From Sound

Hello friend. Howahyah? It's me, SoundsFromSound.

I'm a full-time music teacher with a passion for sound. I believe sounds have the power to transform and shape our lives in extraordinary ways. It's my privilege to have you join me on this auditory journey through sound, music, and the world around us.

I do wicked cool things with ordinary everyday sounds. We'll transform them in amazing ways, into something completely different. We'll be writing a full piece of music using these sounds, and hopefully they will encourage you to listen to the world in a whole new way.

I also create unique ASMR sound therapy experiences. I hope my sounds will make it easier for you to relax, study, calm anxiety, increase focus, prepare for the day ahead, or prepare for sleep and turn off your brain.

Finally, I create free music education eLearning materials - primarily LilyPond tutorials, sound design/synthesis projects, and how to compose music for podcasts/TV/games, etc.

Stop by and say hello!

    I've recently started playing again and, of course, the need arose to typeset some music. Of course, I reached for LilyPond, which I've been using since early 2000s, and after printing my part, I realized there is one other piece we are currently playing that it is engraved using LilyPond! That made me very happy :) I took an old score to get my styles and formats, convert-ly'd it, and just typed it. It's really straightforward when just typing notation: you have a note "a" or more "<a c>" plus duration "8", "16.", and then articulation "->" and dynamics "\<". That's it! It's a pity that not more people use it, as the output it's really top-notch. Of course, it's not perfect, but so far superior to those Finale or Sibelius scores which are not manually tweaked and have so many collisions and uneven spacing... yuck!

    I was looking for an alternative notation software from the big ones that can be very frustrating and expensive. I like this approach of building a score from code from the ground up. I like this because I am not always trying to figure out how to get the software to do something. I am just writing the way I would be with pen and paper. I feel like the end result is better. But so far it is not faster but that will come. This is a great tutorial series. I am already well into my first score on the first day after just a few hours of practice. Thanks for the great series.

    Thank you for such a kind, encouraging message. I am so glad my videos were helpful to you. A labor of love yes, because I believe education should be accessible to anyone. 👍 I can promise you there are many more videos coming as soon as I'm able to focus on an upload schedule. I've been recording dozens of new LilyPond tutorials over the last few years, but I'm so behind on uploading. I'm creating more videos, more often, but now with much more broad editing strokes, no more focusing on minutiae. I was spending *hours* re-recording the voice-over, speaking *extremely* slowly and calm, trying to de-localize my accent so it wasn't too much of a distraction for my audience - many of which I know are international and/or ESL. Plus, when I get nervous my regional accent comes out even stronger. 😉 So my goal was a neutral and gentle voice-over. If I speak too slowly in the videos, I'm sorry - I blame the combination of years of speech therapy and just being nervous making videos on KZread, and it's the nervousness that really brings out the Boston even stronger. 🙂 Thank you for watching, and thank you again for such a thoughtful comment. I appreciate it. 🤙 - Ben

    Hi Stephen. I don't personally use SVG, I find that EPS importing of graphics *much* more convenient to work with in LilyPond; but I assume SVG works the same for importing. But try EPS, it's likely going to be easier for your needs in this situation. \markup { \epsfile #10 #"context-example.eps" } where #10 is the size of the graphic being imported. Let me know if you need more examples. Thanks for watching!

When having lilypond use and insert chord names it interprets the music and places the symbol above the chord- but I want lilypond to insert an .eps file in place of the chord symbol.

    Thank you so much for your videos. Do you know if there is a way to change the duration of the notes from the midi keyboard? I have seen other programs doing that, allowing to assign a duration to the lowest notes of the keyboard. It would be great to be able to do that in Frescobaldi. Something like C2 = 1 D2 =2, E2 = 4, F2 = 8, G2 = 16. Any black key between C2 and G2 would mean a dot. Maybe some controllers or other notes could be used to select triplets. Another interesting subject would be how to use other sounds for output. I am transitioning from Finale to Frescobaldi and I used to use the Aria player for output. Is there a way to use it with Frescobaldi?

  • @SoundsFromSound
    @SoundsFromSound2 жыл бұрын

    Hi there, Thanks for watching my videos. If there is any LilyPond topic you'd like me to cover in the next playlist, please let me know. Regarding MIDI assignments for duration in Frescobaldi, the short answer is: no, it's not possible natively. But I use a workaround that works pretty well for quickly changing duration. It cost me about 10 dollars and free software. As far as changing output sounds, yes - a while back I shared my methods I think in the Facebook group, I used Kontakt as an example. I think it should work just fine for the Aria player plugin, I'll see if I can find my screenshots walk-through for that. The way I handle duration is I have a compact wireless-Bluetooth numpad peripheral sitting on my MIDI keyboard (using AutoHotKey to map commands as needed). So, if I want to input quarter notes and then half notes and triplets, I setup Frescobaldi and place the cursor in brackets: ----- -Play first note. -Hit 4 (sets duration for next) -Play the next few notes. -Play the first note I want as a half note: -Hit 2 (changes to half notes) -Continue with half notes (I want a triplet next, so notes first then add bracket) -I input the 3 notes I want for the triplet, then: -Hit slash on numpad, press and hold it to select the last 3 notes (I use slash and asterisk to expand and make selections very quickly) -Once I have tuplet selected in Frescobaldi, all I need to do is hit + 3 on the numpad and it inputs the following code: \tuplet 3/2 { $SELECTION } (which creates a triplet all around the notes selected, puts me back into insert mode moving forward for more input) etc. ------ I hope this helps. It's hard to type it out but in practice it's seamless and fast. The steps I listed above took about 10 seconds to do total. Please let me know if you'd like a video showing this, I can put one together if you want. If you're on Linux, I don't believe AutoHotKey is available, but there are more options on that OS.

    @@SoundsFromSound Thank you very much for your comprehensive answer. I have no problem paying for good software. The only problem is that I would like to switch from Finale/Windows to Lilypond/Frescobaldi/Linux, mainly because I have been working professionally for 15 years with Linux, and also because Windows never work correctly (for me!) For example, at this time, I can't input anything to Frescobaldi from my MIDI controller (Alesis VI49) although it works without any trouble under Linux. (I have tried modifying the register as indicated on some music forums on the web but without any success. I guess having no negative result is to be considered very positive under Windows!) I have up to 400 Big Band scores to input (I will certainly not do them all, but I have them and will do those we shall play, which adds to 25-35 per year), and I also would like to be able to produce acceptable audio tracks from the scores. I have used Finale for 20 years (although not regularly) but it is really not productive enough for me. However, Finale Speedy entry is still the fastest way I found to enter notes. But I would like to work from the MIDI keyboard only (as much as possible) since there are no more than a dozen commands needed for 99.99% of cases. Mapping the lowest octave to these commands would be great. For the moment, I input notes under Finale (Windows) and switch to Frescobaldi (Linux) for all the rest. Regarding subjects for future videos, I would be particularly interested in: 1) Speeding input. Any trick such as applying rhythmic patterns to notes would be useful. I have a lot of Latin scores in which a rhythmic pattern is applied to chords. It would be great to make this automatic, similarly to what some automatic comping software can produce. Also, Big Band scores often contain lines that are rhythmically identical but with different notes. In Frescobaldi, I generally copy the first part and change the notes for the others (this is generally applied to saxophones, then trumpets, and then trombones), but it would be good to speed the process, for example having a command that selects the next note without the duration so that it can be replaced just by overwriting it. I guess this might be possible in lilypond/scheme? 2) Producing better audio files. Until now, I have found that producing one separate MIDI file for each part and loading them in a DAW works much better than letting the software do the mix. For example, Finale is very bad at managing sound levels. 3) Managing scores and parts. It would be great to have a dozen scores and automatically produce a booklet for each instrument containing the specific parts. For the moment, I use a program I have written to extract the pages from the PDF produced by Frescobaldi and group them in separate PDF documents for each instrument, but this is not optimal since it requires knowing the page number in the score, which might eventually change. Thanks again for your videos. I realize I have much to learn about Frescobaldi!

    I'm a rank beginner with LilyPond. So, this series looks like it's going to be very gentle and helpful. Thanks. But every piece of LilyPond input does NOT need to be contained within {curly braces}. There are no outer braces surrounding any or all of the following: \version "2.20.0" \language "english" \header {...} \score {...} (As a beginner, I'm finding places in the not-so-good-for-beginners documentation that appear to say one thing but mean another. So, I stumble when there are statements like "Everything needs to be enclosed in braces" and then show examples that directly contradicts that.)
