Here’s my first try on this site, hope it works. This is my Agnostic Drone / Disquiet 0240 https://soundcloud.com/claudelebelge/06082016180236-dn-500r

Aaaah! Seems to work!
So you just have to “share” on soundcloud then hit “embed” and copy the code to paste it here. Why didn’t anybody tell me? Hey @davidestevens you just can’t do that anymore, that’s the point of moving here or another place. Police came and walled the door in the old squat, didn’t you hear?

hahaha. Yes, Groups doesn’t work, but you can still create Playlists on your own page, and Marc is intending to continue doing that on his page. In fact, there is already a Playlist for the just finished junto project, but not all of the items posted here are in the playlist. I assume that Marc has to add them manually, and I _think he’s somehow doing that based on tags. I just want to check I was doing the correct thing!
As for posting here - I just copied the link from the Share window on Scloud into the window that opens in the message editor here when you click on </>. But I see you figured that out already :slight_smile:

You asked for comments, here’s mine: thanks for the cleaning, now I feel like a wastebin! :slight_smile: Hey man, this place is an exciting place, don’t you have two hours of your precious time to spare and actually compose for this assignment? I think it’s the only way it really works for you in a positive manner.

Well this is my first and last comment since I see i doesn’t display under the post I was commenting. This is more like a message service, definitely not the ease of use of a soundcloud playlist. Also you don’t have the convivial feeling like being in a bar, here it’s small offices to see one person at a time. I hope we don’t stay too long here, but, at least it’s working. Also I just cracked the door and have to improve my use of this place.
Hi, everyone, I’m back with my “belgian spirit”, hope you don’t mind.

Thank you for the clear instructions.

Love this. Like a cosmic tune up of the ensemble to start things off. This is so gooey and delicious. The fractalization that takes place in the second half is a joy to hear.

A question for you: how do you decide what to post to soundcloud versus what to post to archive.org? Just curious …

Thanks! I like the fractilization link… Zooming into the mandelbrot…

Used archive coz it embeds well here. Gonna stop paying for soundcloud so only space for short tracks. Might go back to burner accounts, got 13 accounts on sc though, gmail has stopped giving me aliases!

This is the description of my piece posted above.
I had a Jam with my mate Manny (https://soundcloud.com/alayasounds) on Sunday night, me on Sax and FX, him on modular synth and Elektron keys. On Monday between meetings and work I edited this together from the raw material of our first jam. Stretched/looped a long sax note to make the drone then found another bit of sax that was percussive and looped that and had it fading up then added a section of the synths. Automated some filters on the drone so it faded away and then found another bit of sax and synth that ended it well.

Wow, we ended up with 49 tracks in this week’s project. I need to read back through this thread to make sure I caught everything discussed. Several new-to-Junto folks asked (here and elsewhere) about how a track gets added to the official soundcloud.com/disquiet playlist. In the short term: I’m using SoundCloud search for the given project’s tag (e.g., “disquiet0240”), and I’m heart-ing each track after I add it to the list so when I look back at the search it’s evident to me what has and hasn’t been added.

PS: That’s 49 tracks, not counting the ones posted places other than SoundCloud.

Hmmm. I think I see an immediate problem with using liiiiiiines to post projects - replies and comments to a particular piece/post aren’t threaded, so it get’s really hard to see what relates to what. Or am I missing something?

I think it’s advisable to comment in many cases on the actual track’s page, especially on SoundCloud, which has commenting. We’ll sort it out as we work through trying out the platform.

If anyone’s desperate to still add to groups (ie me!) You can still use third party apps like my melody box or unfollowspy.com

I’ve got the sc site cached on my phone browser still so I can add to groups that way too.

Isn’t this place slow? Something wrong when connecting to soundcloud… freezes my firefox each time. Not fun.

One note about groups. If I understand the correspondence correctly that I’ve had with SoundCloud, as of the 22nd they aren’t merely being turned off completely, the groups are actually going away. The current soundcloud.com/groups/disquiet-junto/ will yield, in other words, a null return. Again, that’s if I understood the communication I’ve received correctly.

#103

you’re right

it takes some getting used to

comments are threaded. just just need to use the correct reply button. to start a thread you reply to the individual post (the reply button within the message you want to reply to). to reply to the whole topic, ie, reply to the original post, use the blue reply button at the bottom of the list of posts.

the interface updates and you can then click to see threaded replies to a comment. and also floating comments show an “in reply to” icon which will expand the original comment.

i honestly think comments are best here, provided that the “reply” functionality is used correctly. the UI is likely not sufficiently clear.
