Okay, let's try this again.
I had the noise cancellation on, which I don't like, because it makes everything sound less natural.
Nevertheless, it's not that much better because it's my internal microphone, which is crap.
But I don't have anything else at the moment to post with.
Anyway, since Eric introduced himself after such a long time here, I'm going to do it as well,
because Eric and me joined this community on the same day, which was on June 23rd, 2017.
Yes, I'm quite long here already.
Elton is out since 2014, and I joined 2017.
Well, yeah.
To a point.
2.0 was in beta back then, and there were some problems with that.
But now that 2.0 is out, and we're already looking forward to the 2.3 beta,
it's really good, because 2.0 was a really, really good release,
because Elton got most of its features in that release.
And also, there were...
Yeah, there were some very nice stability improvements.
So now, Elton is going great, especially when 2.3 is out.
I'm really looking forward to that version.
I'm running the beta now, but I think if anyone can have this version, that'll be very nice.
So, yeah.
As for...
Anyway, back to myself.
I'm a very, very musical person, although I more listen to music than I make it.
But I can play the piano quite well, and, of course, keyboard.
If I can play the piano, I can play the keyboard, right?
So that's...
Yeah.
Probably, listen, you've probably checked my avatar out, Flight to Freedom.
It's one of my...
...accompositions, which I really like.
I also like coding with Sonic Pi sometimes.
I don't know if you heard about that.
It's a...
It's a program with which you can code music.
It's kind of...
It's really, like, meant to be to learn programming, but...
Yeah, that's really cool, because that's the only...
Because that's the only...
The most efficient way I've found...
...to do my...
...own Windows remixes, because that's what I...
That's what I always dreamt of.
As soon as I heard these Windows remixes on YouTube, I thought,
Oh, I have to create my own one.
I have to create my own.
And, yeah.
So that's what I did.
Now with Sonic Pi.
Sonic Pi is a really great program.
I did something with Mixpad once, but that was really complicated,
because I had to create the...
...Wave files, the individual pitched Wave files...
...on my hard drive.
And, uh...
So I had to put...
...I had to make copies of the individual pitched Wave files onto my hard drive.
And I also had to...
God.
Also had to use Mixpad to mix them properly,
and that was...
...that was quite circumstantial, like, more complicated than it need to be.
But, now with Sonic Pi, it's much more efficient.
So, yes.
Um...
Yes, um...
Anyway, I've also got a lot of music boxes.
I like to...
...like to...
...play with them, mess with those.
Sometimes...
...early on, I was very crazy with them.
I used to...
...I used to take the comb and the cylinder out, and put them into different movements.
So, like...
...you had...
...put the...
...like, for example...
...put...
...the comb and...
...and the cylinder in...
...from an hand...
...from a hand-cranked one into a clockwork one, and vice versa.
Someone showed me how to do that, and I was...
...I couldn't stop doing that.
Well, anyway, I don't know...
...I mean...
...I don't know for how long...
...you can record in this...
...like, how long one post can be...
...but I think, uh...
...that's, um...
...it...
...for me, for now, anyway.
If...
...if you've got a question, like...
...um...
...PME or something...
...you can also read my visiting card.
...um...
...which...
...does...
...say...
...yeah, which does, um...
...say...
...um...
...oh yeah, I said...
...I think I should point out something...
...that I forgot...
...two things, actually, so...
...yeah.
In my visiting card, it said that I like swimming and skiing.
Well...
...I...
...know that...
...hobbies are something you kinda expect one to do regularly.
...um...
...and of course, you don't always have the oppor...
...have the opportunity to go swimming or...
...skiing, like, every single day, but...
...if I have the opportunity, I really like doing it, and so that's why...
...I put it there, but maybe that wasn't quite right.
...um...
...and, as you can tell by my accent...
...I...
...you would think that I'm from the USA, but maybe some people...
...catched...
...some grammar mistakes I made...
...I don't know, if I did, maybe I did without...
...did...
...maybe I made some without noticing it...
...but, um...
...my accent is definitely very American-sounding in that...
...I'm actually not from America, and I've never actually been to America.
...I'm...
...I live in Germany...
...I'm from Germany and lived there all my life...
...of course I went on holiday...
...but...
...but, uh, I wasn't in a foreign country for longer...
...and, um...
...uh...
...yeah...
...since I'm a perfectionist, I'd like to hide...
...when I'm speaking a foreign language, I wanna hide where I come from...
...and I think I'm doing a pretty good job...
...although, maybe some grammar mistakes...
...which I don't notice...
...can...
...make...
...people...
...recognize...
...like...
...can make people, uh...
...uh, notice that I'm...
...a native...
...that I'm not a native speaker, but, uh...
...yeah...
...I can do a British accent as well, which I'm not going to do right now...
...here, but, uh...
...um...
...I only use that when I'm...
...actually speaking to someone British...
...I just can't help and switch then...
...I don't know, I think it...
...I just feel more with the person then...
...and also...
...I, um...
...yeah...
...but when I'm...
...yeah, that's...
...yeah, I just feel more with the person then...
...full stop...
...um...
...yeah, and, uh...
...I...
...prefer to speak like that when I'm on my own...
...plus the British accent can sound rather...
...posh, but if I'm just speaking to someone British I can't help it...
...so, anyway...
...that...
...should really be it for now...
...uh, for...
...as a...
...yeah, right...
...bye...
