i'm pondering something

on another site i frequent the forum holds a monthly-ish song contest where users submit a song and then everyone listens to and rates the songs, giving points to their top ten

i feel like this would be something that could definitely be done on this site to get more people involved in finding new songs/artists better than just having a few roulettes running at once, and each contest would be confined to one thread in the music section so it wouldn't clog up the forum or anything

would people here be interested in something like this?

I'd be in.

Second.

Do you submit a song you wrote or a song by another artist?  There used to be a Song a Day group run by 2Timer that used to send out emails, everyone had their turn to send out to the group.

You could do both really.  It's all about trying new music.

Morning, king.



I just drew my own custom vector glyph for the letter A because I couldn't find one that I found acceptable for a 16x16 icon. What has become of me?? :blob:

It a came to toss bean bags to try to get them on this board or through a hole in the board for more points.  It's fun really.

You still waiting on clarification though on the character if I remember correctly.

No, I'm just waiting on the list of the most important icons, and there are many icons I'll need clarification on just to know what they're actually supposed to be at all. An icon that's just a big "A" I can manage. :lol

Good morning to all you beautiful people. 


Woke up in another good mood.

Rode my bike in. It's going to be a great day!

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

That's not what HDR looks like... That's a horrible filter. HDR just combines three photos at different light levels. It looks nothing like this.

( At least on my iPhone ).

If that photo isn't HDR, it's using the same radius exposure that those "HDR" images use. Hard to tell with how extreme it is.

Not that either case is genuine HDR imo. A HDR image is one that stores a higher dynamic range beyond the 0-1 (float) range, not smooshing a higher dynamic range into an LDR photo.

To be honest - I don't know what Dynamic Range is - my bro says he wants a camera with 16 stops of Dynamic Range and i'm like...erm...That's one more than 15 ? ?

Dynamic range is how large a range of light a camera can detect, such as bring able to capture bright light without overexposing, and better capturing low light without noise. Higher is obviously better, but I don't know physical cameras in terms of what's a good number or what average sensors have.
In digital rendering, high dynamic range means an image can store colour values brighter than "white", beyond RGB255,255,255, so even if it looks pure white on screen, it can still store the correct lighting tint and brightness for post colour adjustment and effects.

It is an HDR filter.

I don't JUST use HDR... just a lot. I use an app called Snapseed on my phone. It's actually really in depth for editing and what not.
