Gonna go ahead and lock this for now. With the semester starting back up, my free time for doing this and updating the site has been greatly diminished. You may still PM me every once in a while asking about times, but please be reasonable and understand that I have other obligations.

Hello arrangers. Over the past few days I have been experimenting with something new, and am now ready to open up a new thread for it: The Live Feedback Thread. The live feedback thread basically it works like a studio class. Arrangers bring their arrangements, and I'll walk them through what we're looking for in a quality arrangement. I will broadcast my mouse cruiser and speak through a mic, while all the arranger has to do is use the text-based chat.(though it's not limited to just that) So far this system has proven to be faster and more beneficial to the arranger, as they can get quick and clear answers as to why their sheet isn't Accepted.
The purpose of this is to teach and enforce good habits for transcribing and arranging for the piano. It is expected that you know the ins and outs of proper formatting (found here) (http://forum.ninsheetm.us/index.php?topic=481.0). The purpose is not to get arrangements accepted-that is what the submission topic is for.
To make things run smoothly, I have a public Dropbox folder just for this topic. If you would like to be added to it, pm me your email address. If not, I'll just post your sheet somewhere for you to download.
The chat room is: http://tinychat.com/olimar12345
and the password is: 12345
I'll be online when the big "Online" is red.
[ONLINE] [OFFLINE]
If you're online but I'm not, shoot me a pm. Usually I'm not too far away. :J
As of right now, I am the only updater to do this. If you have any questions ask Me (post 'em here, PM me, etc.)
Anything I approve here will get my approval later when/if you submit it for an update. From now on I will keep a list here of what has been approved.

I see what you did there.
shhhh :J
Oh, so it doesn't require a microphone? ???
Hmm....
Everybody, this is really good. I just looked at three sheets with Olimar, and it's great. Strongly recommend using it.
Yes! You did it again Olimar! I'll probably be popping in frequently.
Wait, do our sheets have to be in the submission topic in order to go over them?
Quote from: FireArrow on May 14, 2013, 09:35:43 PMWait, do our sheets have to be in the submission topic in order to go over them?
Nope, it can be anything.
GOGOGO
Perfect timing! :P
I'll be over in a bit!
Very helpful!
This is a good idea, Olimar!
Thanks! Did I mention anything I approve here gets my little "Needs Second Approval (approved by Olimar)" sticker? :J
Thanks a ton!
Oh, and was that the first time you had multiple people at once? lol
Quote from: FireArrow on May 20, 2013, 05:13:17 PMOh, and was that the first time you had multiple people at once? lol
No, it wasn't. (Answering for Olimar because I know for sure myself)
And one more thing FireArrow, when you update a file, maybe get rid of those ugly numbers on the end of said file name.
Just remember that the one there is your most recent revision.
Oh, I'll do that next time. Do I put the updated file in the folder and delete the old one... that's what I did but I feel there should be an easier way.
Quote from: FireArrow on May 20, 2013, 05:28:38 PMDo I put the updated file in the folder and delete the old one...
That's the simplest way. Just make sure there aren't any numbers on the end.
Ah, ok, I'm just worried I'm accidentally gonna delete someone else's (they should have some sort of protection against that?)
I've been off NSM every single time Olimar comes on.
So now I'm camping there. And this time I will have the successes.

wut
Why do you log on right when I have to get off? :P
sozzles :J
Wait, did I miss it?
Heyy Olimar where you go?
He was here on NSM earlier, but now it looks like he's flown the coop..
Aww, hopefully I'll catch you next time around.
sorrry, forgot to post I was gone. Now I'm offline.
Hey, sorry about abruptly leaving chat, I accidentally closed my browser. Anyways, I don't think I've had a chance to thank you yet - so thank you!
No problem. Anytime, man!
Personally I preferred the giant red words that said "Offline" and "Online", but it doesn't really matter.
^So did I actually.
(Check the first post)
Double post, but if anyone would like to get something looked at before the update, now's your chance!
Sadly, I still can't get Tinychat to work :(
Oh well...
What browser do you use?
Chrome, though I doubt that's the problem. Hmm, I'm gonna try one thing in a bit and see if that fixes it. Can't hurt *Shrug*
Actually, that most likely is the problem. Chrome and Tinychat do not generally get along well.
Lol, I'm acually using chrome right now(and have been all day :P )
Yay! It worked!
Does the wild Olimar have time to go through a couple sheets? :P
Have you shut this down since the update?
Of course not! I've been on at least once a day, not including yesterday. Though I will admit it has been rather quiet since the update... :c

Oh, well I guess I'll just have to randomly pop in more. ;)
Argh, I missed you by like 5 minutes.
Sorry, I'm leaving for work xD tomorrow fosho!
You work? I feel so young... (probably because I am.)
Check his profile. He's 21. :P
Quote from: blueflower999 on June 21, 2013, 02:59:56 PMCheck his profile. He's 21. :P
I have, I could also tell from his voice. It just didn't really sink in until now...
GOGOGO ORIMAR
Hey olimar i'm having trouble with fixing the formatting on my sheets. When can you help me out?
I'm at work until 5pm(30 more minutes). I will get on ASAP.
I have to leave at 5:30 so I call dibs! :P
EDIT: Nvm I have to go now, so hopefully I'll be back by 5:45, 6. (Give or take) So don't go anywhere Olimar! :P

i'll be home probably in about 30 minutes so i'll be on right after i get back and take a shower and shtuffs

^this
Couldn't help but start to notice that this thread has been quiet for quite a while now..
I'll be on soon if anyone wants to head over there. :J
here's to 5 uneventful hours. :/
Noooo missed it

I don't blame him, it seems like the whole updating process has been dumped on him. If there's anyway I can help, let me know.
Quotehere's to 5 uneventful hours. :/
I missed it. :(
Quote from: FireArrow on July 21, 2013, 09:16:09 PMIf there's anyway I can help, let me know.
Ditto. We're all here for you bruh!
I've been trying to think of a place to say this publicly, and I'm surprised I didn't think of here sooner. Anyways, most of you already know, but the nsm folder has some new rules to conserve space and keep it neat. Some of you have done a fantastic job of acting promptly, but for those of you who haven't please read the read me file and check your PMs. Thanks.
Because we're doing pretty good on space right now, I'll be lax about the rules, but if anything gets out of hand or more people join the folder and I can't contact you, I'll just delete the files myself.
Yes sir mister FireArrow sir! :P
i prefer supreme ruler of the world
Sorry, was I egotistical there? Tell me if I am, because I really don't wanna act that way. :P
Don't worry, there was no hidden meaning behind that "Yes sir" thing. :P Just remember: Olimar put you in charge of that, so you have to be in charge.
Just don't get carried away and become some kind of tyrannical dictator on us. :P
Sorry, what is this about? I feel like I should know but what is the NSM folder?
When you do live feedback, you upload your arrangements to the NSM folder (you'll be invited if you ever do live feedback.) This way, Olimar can easily pull up your arrangements and you can easily download his edited version.
Ah, I see. I did live feedback only once, and that was before the folder.
... Don't suppose there's another Live Feedback session coming up soon is there?
Soon, I'm just kinda busy. Balancing several things-site stuff, irl stuff, and pikmin stuff :P
Olimar, if no one's in the chat, and you have some spare time, could you please look at some of my arrangments?
Oliman, I was planning to finish up the "Lum King" arrangement we were working on, but looking at the new version I can't tell what was getting changed ???
Lemme know if you've got ~10 min sometime. Thanks dood.
...my name is Olimar...
Online!
Offline
And this happens again just as I have to leave.. :(
Online for a bit!
EDIT: offline now :P
Argh! Again, when I can't get on! >:( (Not anyone's fault, just frustrated at the coincidence)
Lol, it takes a lot of planning to get online right when you can't. :P
Online!
Also
As some of you know, anything I approve here will get my approval later when/if you submit it for an update. From now on I will keep a list (http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?topic=5596.msg212156#msg212156) here of what has been approved. If I reviewed something that's not on the list, let me know/send me the sheet and I'll fix things.
8 hours later
psst
hes still here guys
Whelp, here's to a 12 hour day!
Success!
Wait. Fuck. I just missed you. Like, I've been online for a bit, but didn't think to check here. Have I caught the JDMEK curse?
Also, if we've gone over something here, and my current submissions have already been accepted, can I replace those submissions with what we went over?
no he isn't
he's playing MC with me
Online!
Offline :/
Can't broadcast atm, but I can give feedback in real time if anyone is interested! ^^
dibs
GOT OFF WORK EARLY GOGOGO
Sry got called away.
Guys get online! I'm on my way home, and I want to try to get an update going! Be there in about 10 minutes!
D: I'm eating dinner at the worst time, I'll be on later!
I'll try to be online as late as I can!
looks like somebody forgot to indicate they're not online anymore ;)
So this could help me learn how to make arrangements?
Yes. But be sure to have a look at this (http://www.ninsheetm.us/smf/index.php?topic=481.0) beforehand.
Bump. It's been pretty quiet around here lately, hasn't it? (nudge nudge, wink wink ;P)
Quote from: Olimar12345 on May 14, 2013, 11:34:59 AMUPDATE: I might not be getting on a whole heck of a lot during the semester, so if you would like to meet up, send me a pm and we'll work out a time that fits both our schedules.
Meetings haven't been public lately :P
Online!
Double post: Does anyone know anything about the "The Fixing the Sheets Initiative 2.0" folder in the NSM DB folder?
JDMEK5 made it, I'll PM you what I know.
That folder is for all the sheets that have been passed through me wait until I can go over them with you, Olimar. They're sitting there ready to go till we get the chance over Live Feedback. Once you clear them, they disappear into one of my folders where they sit until I've got 'em all.
Unfortunately since I'm gone, we may not be able to go over any more for a little while. Till I get back most likely. Although we'll see.
But those are all your questions answered. Let me know if you need that moved/changed. Although since I'm gone, I may not get the memo for a while. Just letting you guys know.
Ehh, I forgot to PM you, but w/e.
BTW, JDMEK, the only song in the folder is one he already went over.
I actually have some time tonight if anyone wants to get online.
Ugh, normally I would jump at the opportunity, but if I don't do my work right now, my lesson tomorrow is gonna suck.
Quote from: FireArrow on November 24, 2013, 08:01:04 PMBTW, JDMEK, the only song in the folder is one he already went over.
I think you're looking at the wrong folder. The one Olimar mentioned has a bunch.
I was there when he opened it - I think he's just talking about the whole thing (but I didn't know there was another folder with a bunch of stuff.)
Online! Shows over.
Getting online for a while! offline
aw poop
Going to be online most of the day as I go through submissions.
Your first post says you're online.
Your first post lies.
Shit, hang on....
There. Idk what you're talking about. :J
ONLINE AGAIN! come get your arrangements approved!
Getting online in about 20 minutes! Last chance before the update! Aaaaaaaaaaand offline.
Finale 2012 is working again! TOTES ONLINE Done.
Getting online in a few! I'll be working on other things for a bit. Drop me a PM if you need me ;)
Getting online in 30 minutes (3:00pm, Central time)
AHH!! Tiny chat isnt working for me. It keeps saying, ''Connection Failed!''
I REALLY would like to join you guys on tinychat, but it doesnt seem to be working for me. :(
My tinychat page is not working at the moment, so lets use this for today: http://tinychat.com/concerto
"Open Indefinitely!!??" YES!!
Dude!!!!
Where have you been??
We have missed you :)
Attention NSM-ers
Please clear all files from the NSM Dropbox folder as soon as possible. You may leave the folders with your names, but all files within must be moved BEFORE MAY 1st. After this point, I will delete whatever remains. PM me any questions you might have regarding the matter.
Unlocking this topic in preparation for the summer. This week is finals week for me, so I won't be doing any live feedback-ing for a few days.
Online for a while.
Edit: Offline now.
Online!
Edit: aaaaand offline.
Ugh, I wasn't home until now :(
I can get back online for a bit if you want (I've had the day off d: )
Oh, nice. Yeah, that'd be awesome, if you could
Getting online for a bit today.
Edit: Offline now. Good work, all who came. I can see improvement! :J
I have times available this Saturday! Pm me if you would like to schedule a time to review arrangements. I'll also start looking through the submissions if time allows.
Hey, I'm free too! I call dibs on a session. Pretty much any time Sat is good for me.
Thank you to all who were a part of this. I'm going to go ahead and archive this, since it is no longer practical that I will have the proper time available to devote towards this. I hope I was able to help some of you along in your journey of musical study! :J
