Thanks Stevo!

So what's 9pm EDT ? I have -5gmt so it's 12:24pm here atm.

You don't get it ?

I work at the guitar shop while studying electrical engineering; I figured I could build my own house and design my studio with the big money and also learn interesting stuff about electricity that translate into music and gears like hertz stuff, analog gears and like design my guitar pedals and amps and that kind of stuff. Oh I had my share of peanut butter, have nothing to eat, play in various bands, believed utopias like living because of my music. But still, I play in a death metal band and we're guys with other jobs like one is gonna be teacher in like politics or something, one dude is boss for a construction company, another works at shows doing the sound for the artists and another one is about to become some kind of "metal" engineer (while being a metal head with long hair, it wasn't metal enough he went study minerals). We gonna play in a 2-days "brutal" metal fest in a few weeks and we have no idea if we'll get paid more than simply "free beers"... but like, that's why we do it, right ? For the fun and the people head-banging I guess, not so much for the big income. I know a lot of great and well known bands that don't rely on their music to eat but rather take their vacations according to their Tours and have a real job the rest of the year, they just don't tell you in interviews and stuff (and interviewers never ask lol). And I know that with a little bit of courage and perseverance in school wil get you a lot more money than what you would do even in a successful band. I wish I had realized much earlier that in order to get alllll the stuff you need you need a good job and a lot of money. Because you do need a lot of money if you want to have a real studio of your own. Sorry for the roman.

Tonight is the night.

Are you still looking for mofos ?

I try to reduce the gain. Same for dat suga in my coffee.

What about the album tunes?

Does this testify that this is THE BIGGEST release for OCR ? (to this date) In terms of number of tracks, musicians and in lenght, I think it's the biggest am I right?

Piss off with your sig

How long to get 3000 people ?

Saxophones fit Saxual 80s movies.

Wazzup with this project ? I decided not to continue my work for this project because I do not know when I'll finish it, it's on pause at the moment and will remain until, well I don't know when. Just gonna submit to the normal OCR when it's done I guess, and maybe for the bonus disc if this project isn't released.

here's mine http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19040508/Destinated%20to%20Forums/Fred%20%5BCovers%5D%20Demon%20of%20the%20Fall%20%282011%29.mp3

Definitely..! That song was pretty good too

Yeah, I used to write my riffs but now I'm lazy and just want to jam to find ideas but double-tracked anyway some precise riffs cause I would just trash the rest of what I recorded if it didn't sound panned. I liked to complicate things.

Ozzy and Hellfueled's singer (also, great band)

Yup I do have templates (for every style) but on my keyboard I have like 500 differant sounds while, for instance my orchestral template has like 30 insts. I rarely use them tho !

Even when simply "writing" ?

Hey just wondering if some of you use anything other than simple midi controllers (without analog outputs). I use a PSR-273 as a midi controller but also have the phones output connected in my audio interface and I'm just thinking of sketching tunes like that since I press 2-3 buttons to dial an instrument. I find that loading and searching for the right samples is so much time consuming while I can simply play with a shitty sound from the keyboard and still record the midi data, but get an idea done in a minute instead of 15. Another thing that's time consuming to me is double-tracking my guitar riffs when not actually recording for a real production, simply trying riffs. I just decided to play with 2 channels and a 7 miliseconds long delay in the fx chain [right channel (wet 100% direct 0%) [and a few minor differances in the second amp sim)]. Yeah just wondering if anyone does that (specially with the keyboards) or is everyone just relying on MIDI these days ? should have done this sooner, Ive know a few jams ruined by time consumming issues pimp that jam

Very awesome indeed, good job guys! I'm still excited.

This is how I sort things; and I like to have the .m3u in a list to I just click that and the album starts. (Also, for the Misc folder, I have 27 folders from A to Z + #): Image

Can't you provide some screenshots ? I don't anyones a fan of clicking weird links. So if I don't click it, you should assume that many many others won't, so we won't know whats it all about, right ? Screenshots and good luck.

Anything similar worth watching?

Anyone mentioned Akira in this 70 pages long thread ?
