Fishy

See ya in a kia!

To be honest I think it might be, the main reason I'm all up for the sueage is because its a pretty standard tune, and yet Coldplay make million's off it and Satriani makes very little. I really don't think its worth a Grammy.

EDIT: let me rephrase A LOT of the coldplay song relies on the same chords/melody/rhythm/tempo as the satriani chorus.

Yaaaay! I mean really, how pissed off would you be if someone got nominated for a Grammy for a song that you wrote? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7766683.stm For those of you who never heard the song, here's a before after: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ofFw9DKu_I Even if you don't think its an exact match, you've got to admit its pretty close at worst.

Toejam and Earl. The game could suck to quite a high degree and I would still play it.

That is a fun quiz, 26/69, got lot more then I thought I would. (okok 25 because of mega duck)

Its an Nvidea 8600 GT 512mb.

Do i just go to device manager and check for updates for everything or do I have to actually uninstall them?

lol, I don't use windows for audio, I use it for games. I can't insall windows again til i go home at xmas. What about driver issues mentioned earlier?

Yes its in celcius, I'm just reading what two seperate monitoring utilities told me, and both of them told me the same thing. I think I've done enough stress testing to say that its nothing to do with the actual processor or its heat management, because it froze this morning after 12 seconds. Surely orthos would've made it freeze after a few seconds if it was anything to do with the cpu/gpu/ram being unable to cope with something. The HD is the part that does most of the work on startup, so imo the fact that my computer hasn't frozen after 14 hours of being on including about an hour of orthos shows that it's something to do with the HD. I haven't been putting any stress on that at all, its just been sitting here not having to do anything mostly. Of course I have no real idea but that is what makes most sense to me?

Ok so I'm running the test atm. Its got prelude on loop <3 so when it freezes I can hear if the sound stops. I've got hwmonitor on AND speed fan, but neither of them can tell me how fast the fans are going . Its been on for a few hours now and its refusing to screw up again. Originally when i tried it this morning it froze after about 12 seconds, so I have no idea why it hasn't frozen yet. The temperatures look normal, if anything quite low. OSX with itunes open and firefox 3: cpu 75 gpu: 70 HD: can't remember fans around 2000rpm XP with winamp and firefox 3: cpu: 49 gpu: 54 HD: 35 fans: won't tell me If it would just FAIL already I could tell you what happens to those temperatures when it goes nuts. EDIT: I got bored and decided to push it into overdrive. I opened pokemon ruby/supermario 64/Final fantasy 9 in emulators simultaneously and pumped the frameskips up as fast as they go. The temperatures got up to 85 on the cpu and gpu, but the HD stayed at 35. As soon as I closed them the temperatures went down to normal within 2 or 3 minutes, so I really don't think that this is a fan issue. They're definately doing their job. Any thoughts? EDIT2: Orthos has been stressting CPU and RAM for the past 20 minutes with no warnings or errors. The temperatures are what they were when I did my highly scientific emulator test.

Excellent thread idea, and I can only echo the Flobots song a million times. Epic song. I've got a few random ones. John Legend - Green Light click the youtube links or they wont work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hd-uklv-5g I first saw John Legend playing on Jools Holland, and it was just solo piano and vocals. Its always refreshing to see someone playing for themselves in pop. This song is a fairly good example of how smooth and groovy pop can be. It would've been so easy for this song to be about some thing else. How many songs with this kind of sound have you heard with lyrics like these: "you'll be my only true lover no competition no other"? Legend is a step in the right direction. Usher - Caught Up Hot damn, this is a perfect example of good pop music imo. Those vocal harmonies are incredible, and this to those phat bass bits. There's even a brass section. I know its not a new song, but this is incredibly musical, the guy is obviously a great singer and mover. This is a direction I like. The production is a bit bland but the actual song is what I like to see in pop. 2pac - Changes Okay this is definately not new popular music by any means, but this is just great stuff. Just listen to that piano. Musical and with an awesome message. (There's a lovely irony in the line "we ain't ready to see a black president" )

OverClocked ReMix - all the capital letters, understandable :3 Still awesome coverage.

I think with movies of games, It's safer to just assume its going to be total crap, and then any signs of quality are a nice surprise.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411951/ It's street fighter all over again .

You sir, are a friggin genius! This will so now be MINE: http://www.andertons.co.uk/acatalog/info_UV777PBK.html And the shop is just around the corner!

"shh, you gonna wake up all the other bitches" btw prophet, I'm still siggin' it for great justice.

Well there's probably 2-3 projects that are nearly done before this one will be. It won't be our turn for a while .

I think that the drum choices are great, they sound huge. The other synth elements, especially during the opening, don't show the same level of thought. Things got a lot better at 1:28, suddenly the whole groove worked on me. Up until that point I didn't think the source was a fit for the style, but from here onwards it seems to fit. I'm not particularly a fan of the bass sound but not overly so. The breakdown in the latter half was quite nice, and the quote was welcome. I think this varies the source well, and its obviously there throughout even if it gets pretty liberal at points. The drums are varied enough for me, as are the textural qualities. Overall its well put together, most of my issues are fairly minor and the change ups are frequent enough to keep it listenable, so I'm happy to give this a pass (kinda borderline I guess). YES

I think this is a great remix and still fitting of the original context too. Fix the click at the very end and post this onto the website for so people can has to listen to it . YES

Effef, genuinely thanks for the info in the last post, but this is called the "help and newbies" forum. I know I suck with techy stuff, and that's all your first post wanted to point out. I'll run a temperature test and see if its anything to do with overheating next chance i get.

sound freezing: I'll have to get back to you on this, i'll leave some music on loop and test it later hd: old macbook pro's don't have user replaceable HD's, but I found where it is anyway and yeah, the noise seems like its all coming from the HD. I find this really strange because even on idle the HD was going absolutely mental for no reason. It had nothing to do at all. The mac partition makes absolutely no noise, and even during thinking time its very quiet. One of the issues that it could have been looking at other cases was a fragmented drive, but I deleted 2 gigs of stuff (its only a 10 gig partition) and did a full defrag and optomise while it was behaving itself and it seemed okay for about an hour or so but then I had another freeze. I had time to back up the maybe 20mg of actually useful stuff on it (i use it mostly for gaming) aswell so if it comes to it I suppose I can reformat that partition, but I don't really want to unless i have to.

XP is giving total freezes on my macbook, at random intervals. - Screen just goes totally still - I don't necessarily have to be doing anything for it to freeze - It functions perfectly until then, even playing cod4 at full specs for an hour or so is possible - Laptop is making quite a lot of processing noises, Its coming mostly from the top left side - Could happen after 3 seconds or 3 hours - It doesn't ask for safe mode when i force shut down and turn on again The OSX partition has absolutely no issues whatsoever and makes virtually no "thinking" noise even during intensive applications. I googled this for a while but all the cases I found were different in some way. Does anyone have any ideas I could look into?

http://www.ocremix.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=34 Projects have their own threads which you can put your own opinion of each track in if you like. The reason project tracks don't have their own threads or ocr pages is because not all project tracks actually meet the ocr standards or the artists never bother to submit them. Alternatively you can just email your thoughts to the actual artist.

Thats a pick slide. You just run the pick down the bottom 2/3 strings to make a scratching sound. Cue random youtube idiot with a demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFLgdKMBsCc&feature=related EDIT: hooo sniped on this highly technical answer by neko.
