Soon... one year of SC!

Scoring Central's one year anniversary will be coming up in a couple of days (first official post was May 17 2016). Normally I would say that a community that hasn't been able to accrue more than 65 members in one year's time isn't worth a damn, but honestly... I think we've more than made that up by posting regularly, and interestingly. This is a tiny corner of the internet but I think I've had more enlightening discussions here than on any big audio forum anywhere, ever. So... here's to another year!

I think what we have here is quality over quantity. We're small but what we have is good. I think this forum is just the right place for many who haven't found it yet. I can see this eventually turning into the "free sample composer" version of vi-control.

A few times I thought I kilted it. But it keeps coming back. Congrats and thanks for making this nice place.

I once thought that I had enough Scottish heritage to justify wearing a kilt, but then when I traced my family lines it added up to less than one percent, which was disappointing enough that I gave up the idea.

On the other hand, I'm 1/8 Swedish due to a great grandfather named Nilsson, so maybe that's why I feel so much kinship with the Scandinavian folks around here.

Yeah, wearing less than 1% of a kilt is likely to get you arrested.

I'm related to Macbeth in a somewhat distant sense...

This is a nice forum. My only gripe is that it's perhaps too technically minded. I'd kinda like to talk and learn more about composing itself, the part that's unrelated to MIDI. I guess I don't know how to ask the right questions. Because that stuff is hard.

BTW I'm Danish on my father's side, isn't it funny with the Scandinavian thing going on here?

Look under user music especially my weird thread for lots of good advice on writing music.

Happy birthday Scoring Central!

Happy Birthday indeed!

Is it time to potty train the forum yet or do we hold with more western styles and wait til 24 months?
