General Online Sequencer Advice

[croc220]

Hello, I have some issues that I can't figure out by my own:

1) When I copy and paste a note pattern (depending on if it's a drum kit, or a guitar riff, or a bassline, or anything else, to avoid doing it by hand all over again and to generally save some time), the sound duplicates and becomes louder than it should be for either the previous pattern or the one that comes after, to which the website has to alert you that there are sections that may be unintentionally loud everytime you want to take a listen. How do I polish my sequences to prevent the muddy sound?

2) Anytime I download a MIDI based on the sequence, it's very quiet and it's not my PC's fault, since I checked multiple times. I even tried manipulating the volume in each instrument's advanced settings and it just doesn't work very well. Is there a way to make MIDI conversions any louder? Do I need to increase the volume on the top right corner of the workspace?

Hope I explained what's making things a little difficult for me. I don't have any problem with getting the notes to sound right, or to compose anything, since it's all in your ears, but these are the only issues that make my sequences a little unprofessional in practice. Any help would be appreciated!

1) Either you are not moving the notes or you're overlapping the notes in a different area of the sequence. I have not ran into any issues with this.
2) Use a MP3 or WAV. MIDI is not good if you want tempo changes or accurate sound.

1) You probably aren't moving the notes away from where they were pasted into, creating overlapping notes that are louder and muddier than they should be.

2) To fix this you could change the note velocity before exporting the MIDI which could work, so let me know

Btw this could've been made in a new forum post instead of as a reply to an original post

This is another thing I see people often times get stuck up on. Just because you don't have many views on your sequences doesn't mean you're a bad composer, and don't feel the need to constantly churn out new music or flood the chat with your sequences just to try and inflate this number.

Compose just because you like to do so and because you have a passion for what you're making. That is when you'll do and feel your best.

I get it, posting your sequences to chat for thoughts and criticism can be really helpful sometimes, especially if you are having a writer's block and can't figure out how to continue or fix a problem in your piece. And yes, there will often be someone who will be willing to listen and try and give their advice, but sometimes there isn't. In those cases, all that re-sending the sequence in chat or commenting about how no one is listening to your piece will do is potentially make the others who are already having a conversation annoyed with you. If no one at the time wants to listen to your piece and you really want some helpful advice on it, just wait until later on when there are different people in the chat.

Great suggestions there. I've seen children do this in the past. I used to do it, but now I don't care about my viewers anymore. I barely rank in the viewership ratings anymore yet I am not forcing people to listen to my sequences.
