Do any of you guys sing or have any musical talents? If so, have you ever used it to gain the interest of others?
Yes, it's very easy to become popular in chatrooms once you say and show you can music.
What about irl though? Is there any way to display or reference it without seeming self absorbed or conceited?
I have no idea man. I don't really mention it to anyone irl.
People automatically assume that you're a childish dreamer of some sorts thats absolutely worthless.
Either that, or they give you a guitar and you have to strum random powerchords for your life because they expect you to be able to play.
The only way I can expect to get interest from doing music in public is either busking, or doing venues of some sorts.

I want to learn to play the piano. Are there any good book guides out there? Really don't want to learn from a person. I already understand the basics of musical notation from my band days
>>38401264
I like listening to saw tooth waves too.
Yeah, I am really good at music theory/composing/arranging. People took interest in me cause I was that "quiet kid" who would always be working on something. They' were nice to me, so it was okay. I felt like shit after though cause it made me realize people only wanted to be around me cause I was good at something, not because they enjoyed my company. That's why I tend to keep to myself.

samefag go die no one cares about your self perceived "talent"
this one time i sang a in an areplane neutral milk hotel song to a girl and then we totally had sex
good thing i sang good and not weird like the actual song or the song about semen staining the mountain tops
i totally gfed her for at least 5 months before she broke up with me too
but yea girls are really easy to impress with little amounts of talent
just make sure your not standing next to anyone with actual dedication/practice

My old piano teacher gave me this book back when I was at least semi serious about piano as a kid. I don't know if it's actually good or not, especially for someone who already knows the notation but I remember finding it helpful.
ive made a lot of beats but stopped and now im shit
will post some if you want
>>38401684
I like how oscilloscopes look.

>avatar fagging
>calling out as samefag xd
Gosh, good thing you pointed it out, otherwise no one would've guessed.
>>38401850
wtf how do you make pictures n an oscilloscope i thought they just showed the waveform
lol wht does that sound like
>>38401850
I need to get some new probes for my DS1052E, the included ones have gone a bit intermittent.
>>38401848
Go ahead. What type of beats are these?
>>38401246
I make trap beats and I have a Twitter full of 300 useless followers and a YouTube page. Since I started again the most views I got so far is 240 but my old channel had 1200 on a video and someone asking to buy and someone else asking to use my music.
I also have an Instagram associated with it I don't use. I've gotten better yet my videos get less views maybe my hearts not in it anymore I don't know.
I usually scare girls away with trap beats and no one really knows what trap sounds like without a scary black guy yelling about killing and court dates. So it's more of something I do for myself
>>38401891
These are random pics from google images. But you can draw pictures in an oscilloscope by using a left and right channel and combining them to create figures.

Don't read books
Go to fl studio now
Piano roll>drop down>chords>major or minor
Now pick a note you want any note. Push shift n to turn the chords off mute the channel add ghost notes. Start over a new channel and make random patterns using those notes only.
It's easier than books trust me.

>skip all the information that teaches you a solid foundation and just stay with the barebones of theory
>>38401648 is way better off grabbing a random "music theory for beginners" book from the library or looking up youtube theory lessons than listen to your shitty advice.
>>38402008
When you make beats like that yea it is

I can play piano to a degree
I played for years when I was younger, and I got re-interested in it when I got older. I tried following lessons for a little while but I don't have the patience to play such boring stuff. My hands know how to play piano still, so basically I chose a piece I liked and found sheet music and just started learning it. I'm almost done, but the ending is kinda hard rhythmically. I honestly am really shit at sight reading though, I just look at the music measure by measure and figure out where my hands should go. I'm hoping I'll get better.
I haven't played the piece for anyone yet, closest I've got was a girl I know (also learning piano) looking at the sheet music and being impressed. I really wanted her to ask to hear it, but she didn't.
So yeah right now I can only play most of one piece of music. Hoping I can build my repertoire soon.

; ) you know whats up
got any of yours i could hear
>>38402008
These are cool anon.
I never made beats or anything cool that I could casually show people. I mostly sing and used to do a lot of musicals back in high school and the beginning of college but I never made my own stuff.

I can actually decently sing, and usually practice alone watching videos, but i do choir too. I also have a guitar, but too lazy to practice desu.
I've played drums for 9 years, mallet percussion for 3, and slowly learning piano but don't put too much time into it, so I've barely improved and can only play small things I've learned.
I made this https://instaud.io/155Q
I play trombone. Don't show off but I used to when I tried to act like a faggot my freshman year. Man I became so fucking hated in my section during marching band lol
