Best Native Teleprompter on apple

ios and on mac you can use the pages app. It has a scroll function. I don't trust the free apps the data harvesting creeps me out. many of the paid ones you can't even own they are like a 60$ yearly subscription. Even after you buy them you still need to by a two way mirrored glass camera attachment. If its not going to be good even after spending 60$ Id rather just memorize it. If your eyes arent looking at the camera directly theres no point. Might be useful for some makeshift karaoke

Notice how the third isn't voiced in the right hand on the 5th degree but it is on the 1st, 3rd and 6th. The third is in the left hand on the 3rd degree as the bottom note, then on the 5th degree the third is the top note in the left hand.

the grand staff and hz values

my mnemonic for visually finding notes that align with the logarithmic markers on tb spectrogram was approximately

  • glorious g1 50ish hz
  • green g2 100ish hz
  • grapes g3 200ish hz
  • beat b4 500ish hz
  • big b5 1k
  • bells b6 2k
  • ebony eb8 5k
  • ebeneezer eb9 10k

Maybe instead for the limited range I'll make it "green grass blue birds. for approx 100hz, 200hz, 500hz, 1khz"

the lines on sunvox's spectrogram seem to visually align with c notes and powers of 2.

heres my annotated graphic of the grand staff with some significant pitch landmarks to help make sense of the bigger picture as to where the notes all fit in. Notice how glorious ebony ebeneezer bells doesn't fit because it extends beyond the ledger lines. (no g1, b6, eb8, eb9)

how to tune a piano to et using a single reference pitch

This could all be hogwash but I thought it was interesting.

the first few intervals are downa 4th till you get to c4 which is a tritone away. Down again a 4th to g, up a fifth then d down to f, d is the maj 6 of f or f is the minor third in d. After that f3 to f4 is octaves.

Step Note Direction Beat Rate (approx.)
1 A4 — —
2 E4 Below 0.9 bps
3 B3 Below 6–7 bps
4 F#3 Below 3–4 bps
5 C4 Above 5–6 bps
6 G3 Below 2–3 bps
7 D4 Above 1–2 bps
8 F3 Below 4–5 bps
9 F4 Above 0 (octave)

This gives you a base for equal temperament from f3 to f4 which you can expand outwards tuning to octaves and checking against 12ths (octave and a fifth) to get the rest of the notes.

how off is et from ji

Most off:

  • Minor seventh (7:4): +31 cents
  • Major third (5:4): +13.7 cents
  • Minor third (6:5): −15.6 cents
  • Major sixth (5:3): +15.6 cents

Closest to just:

  • Perfect fifth/fourth: 1.96 cents off
  • Octave: perfectly in tune

Frankie Lymon "Little Bitty Pretty One" Vocal Exercise

dropbox link to the audio file

Original was in Bb
I pitched it down to start on G to give you a bit of room to warm up into the Bb.
I automated a formant shift so as it pitches up it doesn't sound as chipmunked.
This Exercise moves through all 12 keys using the mm sound

The MM Sound

  1. Gently Engages the Vocal Folds
    The "mm" sound, especially when done lightly (like humming), encourages your vocal folds to come together without too much pressure. It helps you get your voice going without strain.
  2. Resonance and Placement
    It brings the vibration forward, often felt in your lips, nose, or face (aka "mask"). This helps with resonance, which makes your voice sound fuller and carry better.
  3. Breath Connection
    Doing "mm" helps you manage airflow and breath support. You’re not pushing too hard, so it keeps everything in check — breath, tone, and tension.
  4. Lip and Facial Relaxation
    It warms up facial muscles and gets your articulators (lips, cheeks, etc.) moving in a relaxed, focused way — which is great before diving into more intense singing or speaking.
  5. Easy Onsets
    You can explore clean onsets (how your voice starts) without attacking the note harshly. It's like easing into singing instead of jumping in cold.

Fun Fact : 251hz Is Very Close To Middle C

c4 = 261.63hz
b3 = 246.94hz

its b3 27.94% sharp
251 hz is b3 + 28 cents


Determining if 251 Hz is a Sharp B3

The Problem

Determine whether 251 Hz represents a sharp B3 note by calculating its position between the standard frequencies of B3 (246.94 Hz) and C4 (261.63 Hz).

Step-by-Step Calculation

1. Identify the Reference Frequencies

  • B3 = 246.94 Hz
  • C4 = 261.63 Hz

2. Calculate the Distance Between Notes

The full semitone distance between B3 and C4:

Semitone Range = 261.63 Hz - 246.94 Hz = 14.69 Hz

3. Calculate the Distance From B3 to Our Target

Target Distance = 251 Hz - 246.94 Hz = 4.06 Hz

4. Calculate the Percentage Position

Position Percentage = (Target Distance ÷ Semitone Range) × 100%
Position Percentage = (4.06 Hz ÷ 14.69 Hz) × 100% = 27.64%

5. Convert to Cents

In musical terms, one semitone equals 100 cents. To convert our percentage to cents:

Cents from B3 = Position Percentage × 100 cents
Cents from B3 = 27.64% × 100 cents = 27.64 cents

Conclusion

251 Hz is a B3 note that is approximately 27.64 cents sharp. Since this is less than 50 cents (which would be halfway to C4), we can properly describe it as a "slightly sharp B3" rather than a flat C4.

Formula Summary

To find where a frequency falls between two reference notes:

  1. Calculate the semitone range: HigherFrequency - LowerFrequency
  2. Calculate the target distance: TargetFrequency - LowerFrequency
  3. Calculate the position percentage: (TargetDistance ÷ SemitoneRange) × 100%
  4. Convert to cents: PositionPercentage × 100 cents

Tuning an Instrument to Room Resonance

Goal:
Make your instrument lock in with the natural resonance frequencies of the room, so it sounds fuller, louder, and more "alive."


1. Understand Room Resonance

Every room has natural frequencies it favors — like how a wine glass vibrates at a particular pitch.
These resonant frequencies depend on:

  • Room dimensions (length, width, height)
  • Surfaces (walls, floor, ceiling material)

At certain frequencies, the sound waves bounce perfectly and amplify themselves.
Those pitches are where your instrument will sound best or loudest without extra effort.


2. Find the Room Resonant Frequencies

You have a few ways:

Quick and Ears-Only Method

  • Stand in the middle of the room.
  • Hum a steady low pitch.
  • Slowly glide your voice up (like a slow siren).
  • You'll notice some notes "bloom" — they get louder or feel like the room "catches" them.

When you hit one, hold it. Walk around.
If it stays loud in multiple spots, that's a room resonance.

Write these down (even roughly):
Example: "Somewhere around a low A" or "near middle C."

Technical Method (Optional)

Use a tone generator app (many free ones exist) and sweep from 20 Hz to 500 Hz slowly.

When the tone gets super loud without raising the volume, that's a resonance peak.


3. Tune Your Instrument

Once you know the resonant frequencies:

  • Match a string or note on your instrument to a nearby room resonance.
  • You don’t have to match exactly — being close can still boost the sound.
  • Tiny detunings (a few cents sharp or flat) can help maximize resonance.

Example:
If your room has a big resonance around 110 Hz (A2),
you might slightly adjust your guitar’s tuning so the open A string aligns even better.


4. Play and Adjust

  • Strum or bow or pluck your instrument near the center of the room.
  • Listen for notes that seem to "hang" or get louder with less effort.
  • Slightly tweak tuning until certain notes or chords ring out.

5. Other Tips

  • Height matters: Some notes resonate better higher up (standing) or lower down (sitting).
  • Corners boost bass: Low frequencies are stronger in corners. Try playing there.
  • Move around: Find "sweet spots" where both you and the room are happy.
  • Use harmonics: On strings, lightly touch at 12th fret, 7th, 5th — natural harmonics often catch resonances strongly.

Why Do This?

  • Bigger, richer sound.
  • Easier to project without forcing.
  • Can make a cheap instrument sound surprisingly powerful.

Bonus: Use It Musically

  • Tuning your drone notes (if you’re using one) to a room resonance makes the whole room feel like it’s vibrating with your music.
  • Great for solo performance, ambient setups, and recording.

using this knowledge you can pick out frequencies on an eq or tune up just by eyeballing what lines up with your scope

  • 3 b

its okay to use 5 soundgoodizers

5 soundgoodizers on the c setting is actually perfect
not turned up (unless you want to do whatever you want)
its basically the same as using 3 OTTs in ableton
it really brings out the top end shine on some sytrus patches
I've got one thats just a sine with a volume envelope bringing in the harmonics and you can tell the sound is there but its really quiet
this perfectly levels it up and makes it nice and even. makes the chorus sound greasy
I honestly never messed around with soundgoodizer because I thought itw as a noob tool for people who didn't want to get into the sauce.
but it delivers
5 is also something that i wouldn't dare to do
you'd think it would be too much but its not
one caveat to add about this though is just like with maximus the lookahead on the compressor introduces latency which in version 10 FL on linux mint I don't think they did any plugin delay compensation (PDC) so you manually need to shift it.
normally in edison when you resample using 'on play mode' the loop markers line up with your time selection, in this case you'll need to go in and shift them to the start of the transient manually to get clean loops.

what was in my sytrus patch?
starting 3 octaves down at c8 (fl counts backwards from c5 for some reason)
2 into 1 going out to filter 1.
3 into 2
for the ratios:
op 1 = 2
op 2 = 4
op 3 = 64 a triangle wave
the envelopes:
op1 vol is the shortest tempo synced triangle (curving inward)
op3 vol is 4 bar zig zag triangles
op3 provides alot of the variation to the high harmonics when sustained. Its really important that it all goes through the bandpass filter to mellow out the tops.
problem is it gets a little too mellow thats where the 5 soundgoodizers come in..
