  1. This doesn't apply for lots of stuff though. As the whole drama before said, if you were to squish rock/metal songs into one channel, the double tracked stereo guitars would muddy up everything else. Stereo is required for some mixing techniques. You can't mix a rock song in mono to make sure everything doesn't overlap on each other, because then you can't do double tracked guitars to make room for stuff in the middle. Why? BECAUSE IT'S IN MONO. Rock songs like that aren't ever able to sound good "no matter how it's played" if they have double tracked guitars, and they can't do anything to change it unless they reworked the balancing and/or composition of the piece.
  2. Debug mode. Flying Spartans in god mode ftw
  3. It's too late notice for now, but I might come next year if I can work around the school thing.
  4. YSBAT... You should be able to pull save files of other characters from other PS3 profiles. For instance: In Borderlands, I had to make my character on Shariq's profile to play co op with him. Now I can't move my character, because an error message pops up saying something like "This character was made on a different profile, please make a new character." I'm robbed of my million and one PSN trophies I could've gotten in Borderlands.
  5. Feels like it's been forever, but we've only been friends one and a half years. :P

  6. Kirby doesn't have any edges on his body. He's all curves.
  7. Give up and release the music as a $10 album. Or, you can contact your friends and tell them they need to get a move on. If they're slacking and not doing their job while you're doing yours, then just leave and go find some other project to work on.
  8. I basically took drum hits from a Pendulum zip file I found somewhere (it doesn't REALLY sound like pendulum) and then did an hour or so of effects processing. Compressing, EQ, etc. The ones in my pack are one drum hit per wav. There's a kick, a snare, some open hats, and then some modified amen slices.
  9. If you want to play games/ run emulators on your phone, you're gonna want something with a real TANGIBLE keyboard. Not a touch screen keyboard. You'll also want a nice big screen, but not too big and bulky so it will be awkward to keep in your pocket. Something with smooth visuals is a must, so you'll definitely want a phone more recent. I'm also not a phone pro, so that's about my two cents.
  10. HENCE THE "(not talking to you, but to the OP)"
  11. Still, (not talking to you, but to the OP) that doesn't mean that FL Studio is a bad or weak DAW. It's actually very powerful, so don't discount it for its sales numbers.
  12. Win. If your keyboard has USB cord, use that. If not, like Ghetto said, you can grab a MIDI interface by USB (or Firewire if you can). Good DAW's are not a good way to put it. It depends how much of what style you want or how you like to work. Do you like flexible and modular with no guides as to how to organize your stuff? FL Studio is your best bet, because it offers so many different ways of workflow other than the traditional track system in most DAW's. The flipside is it might take a couple years to learn how to organize your own work, but it pays off. If you wanna get something more simple and linear and easy to record, get Cubase or Pro Tools or something. I've tried both, don't really have a preference (FL to me is infinitely better than both of them ) but get whatever is cheaper. Or, you can get Reason. No outside plug ins to worry about, you use what you get inside. A nice and cozy little DAW. What else do you need? Time. Lots and lots of time. (to practice)
  13. Unprocessed can be found here: http://drumnbassproduction.com/drumandbass/2009/01/pendulum-kit-samples.html Processed: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15510436/File%20Sharing/Neblix%20DnB%20Kit.zip If you ever take credit for this drum kit I will end you. (maybe not , but if people ask please give me SOME credit)
  14. Damn it. Too many Kilos.
  15. Another one is having an ego about production.
  16. I disagree. Panning is a good way to enhance your mixing. It adds neat effects when used the right way, too.
  17. Just on the WiP boards: -People lack punch in their drums. -They mix everything muddy. -The synths lack complexity, they sound like FL Studio's 3xOsc without any mixer track effects. -Lack of humanization in acoustic instruments. -Lack of substantial arrangement. Usually I see a 2 minute cover without any sort of completely original territory.
  18. I made a DnB Kit. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15510436/File%20Sharing/DnB%20Kit.mp3 The first measures are the downloaded samples from the internet, and the next ones are with my effects processing. Any thoughts? If not, does any one want? If enough people want, I can render these as hits and give you a .rar of wavs.
  19. The portable hard drive you can't open up and stick inside of your desktop.
  20. Why would there need to be a fast-track? That has no relevance. If OCR can't accept challenges because Larry isn't there to insta judge them then OCR must be pretty lazy.
  21. CHALLENGE: A Minecraft remix only using melodic lines from the OST: -Background instrument lines can be changing and variant or original, but the main melodic lines/lead may not be playing any original melodies, only the one from the OST. -Establish what instrument or instruments play the melody. They play the melody, only the melody, and nothing else. -Slight grace notes and other forms of interpretation ON THE MELODY are not allowed. -Time signature changes are also NOT allowed. -The remix has to have 3 minutes of material, any repeated sections don't count toward that total. Why is this a challenge and not a request? Because the OST of Minecraft doesn't have much for you to use.
  22. I'm pretty sure Zircon was only ever talking about the choir.
  23. I also can't really access the server. I did once, then I lagged and had to ragequit.
  24. For movies and video and stuff, if you output your video in 1080p or 720p, selecting one of those quality options EDIT:ON THE YOUTUBE PLAYER will affect the quality of the audio too, so HD Video is a must for good on youtube. For bitrate, 192 Kbps is kinda around the minimum for good quality unless you're on super expensive listening gear. But, if you want to upload music for people to criticize, don't use Youtube. It compresses the audio no matter what way you put it... I'm pretty sure it even compresses down WAV's. If you specifically want the youtube audience, then make the video HD. The newer Windows Movie Makers let you output 1080p directly (well maybe not DIRECTLY) to Youtube.
  25. I was referring to the Play Station, not the PC.
