Fishy

REPORT: Sweet Jebuz! My strength is increasing exponentially with each session, and its scaring the fudge out of me. I went climbing on tuesday, I was struggling to lift off the ground on a particularly hard V1 climb, while my friends insist that it was probably too hard. Towards the end of Friday's session, I thought I'd give it a whirl for a laugh, and not only did I make the first move, I got to the second last hold. As if that didn't mess with my brain, I spent about half an hour checking out some moves on the 35% overhang wall, and ended up climbing a V2 on the thing. This shouldn't happen! When I started climbing for the first time, it took me about a year to get from V0 to V2, and I just did it in 3 freaking days. wtf!? My arms were so pumped, that just after doing the V2, I physically couldn't twist my forearm. I also woke up this morning barely able to move or sit up, which is awesome. I love intense climbing sessions, you're so satisfyingly fucked up after a good one!

MIDI ripping is just importing a MIDI into your music applications and applying the MIDI information to an instrument, thus bypassing any transcription efforts. The reason people usually sequence from scratch is because the majority od MIDIs are fan-made, and so are only as accurate as their creator. Typically, they will have bad dynamics, low attention to detail and crappy micro-management of note lengths, stuff like that. I believe some MIDIs are ripped straight from the game files, but I don't know much about this process. And of, course, the best way to re-arrange music is to start from scratch, and seeing as OCReMix is about re-arrangement, midi ripping is generally frowned upon. At VGMix, you could get away with midi-rips, but people would probably still frown upon it for being a bit lazy. VGMusic on the other hand is a midi library. People who make midis for this kinda site are probably practising their transcription skills. Not everyone has the stuff they need to remix, but you can find plenty of free midi software.

They created the user profile of Audix, not the Artist page. Artist pages are created automatically when people listen to your songs using the last.fm player. It just reads the tags for the songs and artist, and if its not on their database, it creates it. The same thing happened to me, someone else had already made a user account for Fishy, but you can still edit all the information once you have a random account. I think you can also register your account to the artist page if you can prove who you are. Alternatively send a polite request to the dude for the account.

I guess Samsung just have a ridiculous brand power. They're like Strats, everyone will buy one because they're well known for being the standard.

Then he wrote more characters.

Nice interview, I do enjoy podcast interviews, internet needs more.

I used to work in returns for Dixons, a UK electronics retailer, specifically dealing with TV returns, and from my experiance Samsung are not reliable. They are cheaper then most for a reason, if you added together all the returns for faulty TVs that aren't Samsung, it would still be lower then the number of Samsung TVs that were faulty. That said, when you get one that works, they're pretty good, nice styling. Just saying... you have been warned. Cheap: Samsung GOOD: Panasonic You get what you pay for.

Did my usual climbing, getting much much better already. Did a V1 grade at a 35% incline several times. I did a bunch of sit ups when my arms got tired. Equally, I went to see pendulum which was a cardio in itself; An hours walking around london then 3 hours jumping like I had snapping turtles in my underwear. I feel a lot stronger already! EXERMASIZE!

Yours is 24253. Its the number at the end of the url when you're viewing your profile.

Woo, it arrived. Its really cool that you're sending each copy personally :3.

I did, I need to talk it over with Audix though, and hes busy with exams at the moment. Just give us a few days.

I haven't gotten spam since april. Its fixed methinks.

I didn't say it was, I said that during the thread myself and others noticed that you have a tendency to cloud your points and you ended up making little to no discernable sense, and you have thus far refused to accept it. You claim we have to sift through garbage to find the relevant posts, irony being we have to sift through a load of pointless vocabulary flexing to find your point. Whether or not that is your intention, it is how it comes across.

*Ahem* Fixed

Well I hope you can appreciate from the number people who have now made points similar to mine that the way you discuss the topic harms the core of the discussion. Its hard to have a debate with someone who isn't getting their point across properly.

Everyone read the forums for an important/secret announcement. Oh, and for the rest of ye: At some point in the near future, we will be allowing auditions for all tracks not marked as finished if you want to challenge for it.

So basically, you couldn't miss an opportunity like that to be snide? I said I picked a random paragraph and took the first example of you being over-complicated, I didn't say it perfectly encapsulated everything thats wrong with your arguments. Also if your message (which that case was simple, "you're preaching to the choir an it is quite annoying") is simple enough for three chords, why write a 20 minute symphony? You're trying to get a message across apparently, why make things difficult. Thats all I'm trying to point out. If it appears dense, think about re-phrasing it in a simpler manner. Again with the over-complicating things. You know damn well you don't have to use those words to make your point, but you do it anyway. This is just proving my point: By doing this, you just make it arduous and annoying to respond. I am annoyed that you took my simplification of your point (which really isn't that different) and responded to it in such a complicated way, meaning I am less likely to be bothered to respond therefore; discussion may end because you can't stand making a simple point. Do I really need any more proof then that? Read my argument before you dismiss it as thoughtless please. I said the context of the example, however analogous, was not relevant, even if the point ending up being fine. People are expecting a point about the subject, not a huge paragraph about something else. Mentally ill people is not what people are talking about here. I use the term irrelevant to describe something that does not have relevance.

Garry's Mod <3.

Thanks for the apology, and I also apologize for not expanding on my point initially, but I think my point still stands even in comparison to what others wrote: I picked a random paragraph: You made your point in 5 words, and then didn't really add anything to it in the next 27. One example of many cases where you could seriously reduce the amount you've written, therefore reducing the amount of information that can be misinterpreted, and meaning you'll get a better response to your point, and come off far less pretentious. Its all very well saying that everything you write has meaning (oddly the same comment you made about yngwie's writing a while back) but you're falling into the trap of assuming that everything that you say has a value, when in some cases, you have to be able to concede that perhaps some of your additions aren't necessary or even helpful. You of all people should know; when a composer writes some overly complicated music it makes it a lot harder for people to interpret it accurately and so it is harder to enjoy it, much like a writers argument. Your mental illness paragraph is fine, but again, you could make the point so much more easily without a longwinded example. You basically just said "people interpret things in different ways", but you threw in 4 different opinions about what caused a murder, an by that that point people may be getting bored and frustrated with the irrelevant context of the example. It is well-written, but it is not concise. Arguments should be both if you want them to be come over properly.

1. Thank you for insulting me. 2. Let me clarify then. You are over-complicating your arguements, and decorating them in an very arrogant and pretentious way. Theres a difference between using big words and being coherant. You arguments are strung out and end up in the "flaccid" area as a result. 3. I was making the point that part of the problem with these discussions is that you say too much. You expand a line into a paragraph when there is no need which just makes it annoying and arduous to respond to, and then you do exactly what you just did, and label everyone else arrangant and illiterate when they make a simple point, furthering your pretentious airs. The irony here is that I generally agree with your original point, just that the way you argue it is incredibly annoying, and it doesn't look like you take any points onboard. You just say no, and then state your opinion as truth. Your 'thesis' doesn't have to be empty, but it could be a hell of a lot simpler then you're making it. If anything I'm just letting you know perhaps you should simplify your arugments, and you'll get a lot faster, more fluid and more concentrated response, more about the subject, and less about who is prententious and who is close-minded.

I never played Tooie, but this looks a bit crappy. I'm all for putting a new spin on games but uh.... this is just totally different. It looks like a different game with the Banjo characters smeared in.

You know you could have stopped at here, and people would've politely agreed or disagreed. There's a reason you've garned so many heated responses in musical discussions here, its because you spout a thousand lines of irrelevance which, while eloquently phrased, doesn't really do much more then make you look pretentious.

Man you should really do some live sets, these are amazing. I would be dancin' like a fool all night.

Well there is one feature that is a lot more helpful for orchestral music in Reason 4. You can automate tempo finally, and creating a rubato feel is important in some orchestral music. You could fake it with the speed % transposing in 3, its just a whole lot less complicated in 4.

From what I hear its just a generally bitchin' DAW. I think its a lot more complicated then most, but only because it has so many features. There's nothing really wrong with the DAWs Tensai mentioned though, so I wouldn't waste your money unless you actually have an urgent audiophilic lust for something to sound EXACTLY as you want it. A lot of mainstream music has been produced in Logic more recently, so I don't know if I would still call it the industry standard, but its definately the industry classic.
