DSP-related news, and Japanese class rantage.
Today, I mixed an eight track song, AND DID NOT FAIL.
HUZZAH!!!!
Sure, I don't have a clue about EQ, but at least I can PAN! And, I can transfer things to a USB, make a master track~~~
I just feel so happy~~!
And then, when my teacher heard the song I was mixing, he said he liked it, and then when he put it on his computer to test it with his computer speakers, IT DIDN'T FAIL IN THE SLIGHTEST. Although one of the vocalist's voices was a bit too prominent at one point, but that's okay!
I feel so motivated <3
This totally makes me not want to do post-production. Argh. LOL Music all the way~~ ^_^/
But then...
I have a math test, a chemistry test, and my Japanese project due on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. SIGH
LOL It's kinda funny. My Japanese teacher didn't tell the class that their projects were due the class after, and because I kept bugging her about checking my project, I was the only one that handed in the text on time (because she was like, "It's due next week! Are you going to finish on time??") . Everyone else had 10%~25% deducted. LOLOL
By the way, my project was to translate a "legend/story from my culture". The people who were from China/Korea/wherever were allowed to do stuff from their own countries, but...the people who are born in Canada are stuck translating First Nations stories. Which KIND OF makes no sense, because I am totally in touch with my background (half Filipino, half Italian). But no. My teacher DID NOT let me translate an Italian story.
SIGH.
Just because you're a Canadian citizen DOES NOT MEAN you identify with First Nations storytelling.
And the story I chose was weird as hell, to boot.
My story was "The Legend of Sedna". It's basically about this hunter's daughter, who refuses to get married to whoever her father chooses, and then the father's like, "Since you won't listen to me, you can take my DOG!" But then Sedna and the dog actually get married (like, WTF) and then the dad gets pissed off AGAIN, and he exiles her to an island, or something. (The hunter kills the dog shortly after too, the jerk.)
On the island, this really handsome hunter tells Sedna that if she goes with him, he'll provide for her and protect her and stuff. But after they get married, he takes off his hood, and it turns out he's actually a FULMAR! (Which is like, a type of crow or seagull or something). And even though Sedna is COMPLETELY SHOCKED, they end up living HAPPILY TOGETHER and actually having CHILDREN.
Seriously. WTF? What happened to the dog husband?? Sedna is such a flake.
And then the father finally finds Sedna, and he's like "I'm sorry~~ come home with me" and stuff, and she goes with him, and they sail across the ocean on a kayak. But then, the Fulmar finds them, and because he's flapping his enormous wings on the ocean, the kayak almost capsizes. So, to pacify him, the father tries to push Sedna off the boat, but she holds on.
Now, this is where it gets REALLY trippy.
Because Sedna won't let go of the boat (she's in the water, but she's holding on), the father starts CUTTING HER FINGERS OFF ONE BY ONE and then each cut finger falls into the ocean and transforms into a sea animal.
Seriously. I can't make this stuff up.
So, Sedna eventually falls into the ocean after all her fingers are cut off, and then the Inuit gods make her the "protector of the Inuit" because she's "endured lots of suffering", or something. (Or because the Inuit Gods reward flakiness.)
And then the father, because he's so guilty (God, he's such a jerk), basically commits suicide by lying on the seashore and letting the waves drag him into the ocean because he wants his daughter's forgiveness.
...
Fun stuff, no?
