Disquiet Junto Project 0585: F9 by disquiet published on 2023-03-17T19:59:25Z Disquiet Junto Project 0585: F9 The Assignment: Fast forward an old track to make a new one. Step 1: Many media playback apps for laptops (among other devices) include the option to fast forward through a track manually. Some apps have settings that allow you to adjust the length of the gap that will be jumped. Find a tool that can do this. VLC (videolan.org/vlc) is recommended. In VLC you can jump forward in set lengths of time by repeatedly pressing (not holding, but repeatedly pressing) the right arrow on your keyboard. Step 2: Try this process with a few of your own recordings: hitting the right arrow at a steady pace (as quickly as every split second, as slowly as every two or three seconds). Step 3: Locate a track of your own where doing what is described in Step 2 yields a result you find pleasing. Step 4: Record what the result of Step 3 sounds like for one of your pre-existing tracks. (This may be old hat, if you have used Loopback or similar software. You could also just record the output from your laptop’s speaker.) Step 5: Use the result of Step 4 as the foundation for a new piece of music. You can add as little or as much as you would like to it. Notes: (1) You may find you can simulate this effect. (2) You can loop the result of Step 4 if what it yields is too short. . . . Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, March 20, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, March 16, 2023. . . .
