MIDI: proses menggambar note menggunakan bahasa program/binary ke dalam software yang kemudian akan mensimulasikan instrumen yang digambar.

Step:

  • Drawing midi.
  • Convert midi ke music score.
  • Studio one score editor (notion).
  • Export file musik/audio & musical score (notes)

Kontakt: kumpulan plug in midi instrument yang bisa di-install dan memiliki suara yang bagus.

MIDI Controller vs Keyboard

  • Keyboard: langsung memainkan nada di keyboard.
  • MIDI Controller: cara singkat untuk membuat nada atau memainkan musik di PC (plug & play). Controller akan mengirim data MIDI ke komputer/synthesizer lalu menginterpretasi sinyal dan mengeluarkan suara.

Pitch Bend: memungkinkan untuk membelokkan nada yang dimainkan (naik atau turun), mensimulasikan suara vokal yang bisa pitch bend, biasanya berbentuk kontroler fisik, bisa ditemukan di sisi kiri keyboard, sebelahan dengan modulation.

Modulation: untuk vibrato/tremolo.

Aftertouch: mempunyai kontrol tambahan/ekstra yang bisa digunakan untuk menghasilkan lagu-lagu trigger, (based on pressure amount after the touch).

Triggerpad: bisa mendeteksi sensitivitas dari nada-nada yang dimainkan tergantung dari tekanan (pelan-kencang, vibrato, dll).

Touch Key: keyboard dengan sensor (multitouch control service).

Velocity: fitur yang membuat nada bisa menyerupai variasi keras/lembut permainan seseorang.

 

Plug Ins

1. Impulse Response (IR): mensimulasikan kesan ruang dengan satu klik.

2. Delay: menambah kesan ruang/spasial.

3. Limiter: membuat suara sekencang mungkin tanpa menjadi clipping/distorsi.

    Menaikkan suara yang kekecilan di master track, tapi tetap dibatasi (limit).

    Contoh: -6 dB atau -1 dB.

4. Compressor: mengkompresi dynamic range suara untuk membuat level audio pada bagian yang kencang dan pelan lebih dekat satu sama lain.

  • Threshold: batasan sampai setinggi apa compressornya baru akan bekerja.
  • Knee: mengatur seberapa jelas compressornya akan berlaku, bisa patah/halus.
  • Ratio: menekan audio agar hanya decibel tertentu yang bisa lewat.

    Contoh:

    X:1

    X bisa dirubah, misalnya menjadi X:2, X:3, dst.

    5:1 artinya dari 5 desibel yang lewat, tertahan 1 desibel, sehingga sisa 4 desibel.

But hold on, what is psychoanalysis exactly?         Essentially, psychoanalysis is, among many things; a theory, a therapy, an instrument of research, and a profession. It's complex understanding of the psyche was a breakthrough in intellectual, medical, and sociological studies. First introduced by the Austrian physician Sigmund Freud and later developed by Jacques Lacan, the study can be considered as part of psychology that according to Freud. is about memories, thoughts, feelings, phantasies, intentions, wishes, ideals, beliefs, psychological conflict, and all that stuff inside a person's mind.          It is also called a depth psychology due to it's assumption of an unconscious part of the mind.

In film editing, separate shots are stitched together to tell a story. Those combined shots create harmonious relations that can build the audience's understanding of the story. The relation between those shots can be categorized as graphical, rhythmical, spatial, and temporal.   Graphical relation The graphical relationship between visual elements in consecutive shots based on the similarity or contrast of form, composition, shot type, color, movement, or lighting. To create a graphical relation, there are some methods or tools that can be used. One of them is match cut, which can be utilized to show time change or contrast. (eg. morning – night, crowded – quiet). It can also unite two shots with the same composition. (eg. shots with one point perspective). Putting together two contrasting shots with a match cut can also create juxtaposition, which is the placement of two or more things side by side, often to compare or contrast or to create an interesting effect. (eg. sho
