Yeah rub it in why don'tcha Looks like I'm starting this remix tomorrow. Hopefully I'll end up spending more than 3 hours on it (as opposed to last week...)

I was responding to the OP. And how do I miss the boat when I answer the most recent question you posed in the thread? "Same thing?" "Yeah, you're bouncing your synth's playback." Bouncing is similar to freezing in the results that you get but they work differently.

All you're doing is recording the result of sending MIDI into your synth with your automation and effects. Yeah, you're bouncing your synth's playback. You misunderstand; your synth is not a soundcard. It's a synth. AU's are not impacted in any way by your synth, because your synth doesn't process things in your computer. Your computer does, and AU's are processed by your computer.

Your sound card has very little effect. It's all in your CPU and memory. There won't be that much of a difference between integrated audio ASIO4ALL and sound card ASIO drivers in terms of processing power. Yes, ideally you want a quad core processor (don't look at the Ghz rating, look at the generation and architecture. i7's are the best you can get) and at least 4+ GB RAM for music production (8+ if you plan on doing orchestrations and using expensive multi-thousand dollar multi-GB sample library instruments). Getting a sound card is a minor bonus, there won't be much of a difference as far as how many synths/samples you can handle. In other words, putting a $500 sound card in a 10 year old machine will have zero effect on how much it can process.

Le fixed.

Happy borkday

I'll get the posters...

I still have a temptation to start saying Jer-OO-Doe

So I just got to Jabu Jabu and here are my thoughts: It's definitely not a "minimal" graphics update as people were saying (you know, before it came out so they couldn't try it) and the 3D enhances it, but you're not really missing much if you turn it off. (in fact turning it off enables anti-aliasing so it looks much smoother) The looking around the room thing is great at first, but it gets a little frustrating if you have the 3D on, because unless you can perfectly tilt the screen towards you as you continuously move the 3DS, your eyes won't keep the 3D image and you'll keep seeing the screen swap images with some dark regions moving across the screen. Makes it real hard to aim with the slingshot, but I've gotten used to it and it doesn't happen that much anymore. You just have to learn to keep your head and the screen parallel when you're moving it around. Other than that, motion controls for looking is actually kinda more fun than gimmicky.

Whoopsee, misunderstood your post.

Alan Scott's ring is magic, the corps. isn't magic, they derive power from will. (And hope recharging their will )

Am I the only one who says "DEH-Koo"?

I'll be on when I grab a PC Copy and a new stick.

Mine sounds killer. It's groovy AND a good melody. This is almost too easy.

An honest complaint from a green lantern fan: needs more space and more green lantern and less Carol Ferris and less Hector Hammond.

They have to make crappy standalone ones for the movies so that they make sense to people who don't know "what's a green lantern". And yeah actually 2 lanterns per sector for anyone who watched the movie and now "knows" that there are 3600 green lanterns. 7200 lanterns but there are a whole metric ton more right now (in the comics) as Kronos just recruited hundreds of lanterns to further the parallax corruption and make his own green lantern army.ED PARALLA

you're a pretty bad movie

That's a pretty normal situation. The judging queue caught up and it should take around 2 months now, they've really jumped into overdrive the past few months. What music platforms are you referring to? I get the idea that you're comparing OCR to "post your music" platforms, which OCR is not.

Er, I'm assuming you're not counting SSD's in this statement. You're going to have to skip out on a graphics card if you want to do this and not go with an i7. i5 Sandy Bridge and this config should work price-wise. Computers can use more than 1 hard drive. Just to clear this up: firewire is for EXTERNAL hard drives. SSD's are INTERNAL storage drives that connect to the same SATA ports that internal HARD DRIVES do. SSD's are the fastest out of all three choices, but you get very pricey if you go more than 60GB. You only want one for booting and storing applications and games, not for sample storage. Not if you think $2000+ is reasonable. You're gonna have to get a lower end Mac, possibly get a used last generation one if you want to buy a studio Mac on a budget ("mac" and "budget" aren't supposed to go in the same sentence unless you're saying that they're not supposed to go in the same sentence)

I saw lots of connection, especially the few references back to current comic book stuff.

What specific CG Head replacement are you talking about?

Green Lantern is my favorite DC Comic series (I don't read a LOT of them, but I read more than a few) and I was not at all disappointed with the movie. I was a little upset that they changed so much from what things really are but that's to be expected with a comic book movie. Still, there was no real reason to make Parallax a head with smoke tentacles instead of the cool yellow entity bug with millions of teeth. That's my only real complaint. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie and I thoroughly enjoyed holding up my ring and saying the oath alongside Hal Jordan.

Look in FL in a new project and it should say 140 around where the Play button is (or 130, depends) and that's your BPM. Hold down the mouse button on it and go up or down to change the tempo to any value you want. The vertical lines are velocity. The value when given to a sampler or synthesizer will correspond to how loud the sound that is played back will be. Never go completely 100% in the piano roll unless the virtual instrument you use has specific samples given when you raise the value to that level (example: the Monster Staccatos string library will give really STRONG string staccatos when I raise it that high and softer ones when I lower the value, but only more commercial libraries have velocity sensitive samples), use the volume knobs on your virtual instruments to handle overall volume of the instrument itself. That's more a mixing & mastering thing, so I'll leave it at that.
