The Biznut

I have some weddings to DJ on the 14th but nothing booked yet on the 7th yet. I would love to come down on the 7th or possibly even a hair earlier if weekday flights are cheaper and stay until the 12th or so.

In for 25$. Is Haroon active in some other community? Haven't seen him here for a while.

Interested. Gotta finish me some tracks first.

Let me restate. Best reply to anything I have posted so far this month. Though the next post might change everything...

Looks intense! I should not have watched that right before sleep... involuntarily entering dj mode.... you can't stop... the beatz... ...

Schwaltzvald. Best reply of the month.

You know I kind of want to get you started on this These games are a great challenge, but when it gets to the point of total audacity, I just get floored by how hard it gets, laugh about it for a bit and then stop. Which ones have you beaten, and which one did you find the most challenging to beat? (and derive the most satisfaction from beating?)

I followed this thread a bunch a few months ago, and I remember the side scrolling shmups being the talk of the time. Which is not surprising as some of them seem far beyond even remotely possible by level 2... You would probably find your winner, or at least a host of serious contenders in that genre.

AWESOME Jose! I mean um... yeah sure you can join... *secretly throws a fistpump*

Well, both. I would assume they are the same, basically. If you were wondering about modifying/switching tones mid song when playing live, that is not a current concern. So while the M13 has a lot of reviewers saying the tiered foot switches are the perfect distance and height apart for switching, that really doesn't influence my decision for it. Nor would the lack of expression pedal influence against.

For software protection, FLStudio requires a regkey file that is downloaded from the Image Line store. I read on another thread a while back that the reason you won't find sections devoted to FLStudio in say, Sound on Sound magazine, is because the first release was for your average Joe user instead of professional users/studios. It has come a long way since then and is a powerful enough DAW that personal preference and ability are the decisive limitations when comparing or choosing one over the other. Despite this, it remains on the fringe in professional audio production culture (that I have seen anyway) If one of the big music corporations acquired Image-Line and FLStudio, I am positive that would change. I haven't used Cubase so I can't say how it compares but: -I have heard that FLStudio is the best suited DAW for automation. You can automate like everything. -FLstudio is very condusive to, well, loops. And sequencing. I don't know how easy it is to make a generic techno track in Cubase, but FL almost pushes you into it. It is very friendly toward anything beat driven. -FLstudio offers Free lifetime upgrades of the version you purchased. FL8 basic -> FL9 basic is free for example. If you want to step up from basic to XXL you may do so for the current price difference I believe. Hope it is helpful.

The deadline was the 18th of this month, is an winner going to be announced publicly soon?

Hey all, hows progress coming? I got a busy weekend, after this I can spend some more time on this lil project.

myf, I wasn't active here when you left, but uh...welcome back! I'm about to listen to your album, any idea when the deadline might be (even approximate) to get a remixed track to you?

This x1000. Without MIDI this guitar would lose a huge portion of its value for the reasons analoq mentioned. I am working with a local dude who is experimenting with 3D sequences for a live show of sorts. We are thinking of also getting a guitar hero guitar working through a midi adapter so I can rock out on my electric to the music, and he can solo through his synthesizer AND trigger the lighting (light solos! woohoo!) THIS would take that to a whole new level...

Nice set GT. Definitely going to keep in handy if I ever get to DJ anything other than country wedding receptions...

Hey Meteo. If you have backed up all the files you need and have no intention of going back to an XP setup, then you should be safe to delete that Windows.old folder. If there is anything in Windows.old that you have yet to back up, do that, it might be worth double checking to make sure everything important is safe. I deleted my Windows.old on my upgrade from Vista, and nothing unexpected happened. I have had no problems with windows 7, it's light on resources and has some good features vista didn't have. Enjoy!

This is happening more and more with me, as I have less time for games than ever. Much of my ipod always consists of either OST's or Remixes, and I don't think that will change any time soon. I suppose a lot of the music I listen to is from games I have played, though it has been 18 years since I played them and I only played them once. Lots of that sort of thing. EDIT JODO KAST Thank you for that link and for mentioning Crows Claw. I just youtubed "Immortal Madness". If this is an average venture into their music, I will be spending some time getting more acquainted with them.

I hope to goodness I can make it down. It is definitely in my calendar and I will be looking up flight packages this weekend. As for the direction this thread has been taking, it is pretty clear that people are going to do what they want to do, which everyone seems to agree on. Lets leave it at that. Thanks a ton to Jade and Jordan for offering their hospitality and quazi-hosting what is turning out to be a very large meetup, I am very eager to make it down and finally meet all of you!

As I wasn't active here during unmod, I feel like I have stumbled upon the ruins of an ancient civilization or something. The first few pages have been a pretty interesting look at what things were like here, and it's interesting to see what sort of shenanigans current members were up to back then. Plus, this thread has given me the hardest OCR related laugh yet. I needed a timeout after that. This one was pretty great too. I'm looking forward to reading on.

Jade, and KyleJCrb, If I can make it down, you can count me in. I wouldn't mind hitting up a casino and playing some hold'em, but in general I am pretty laid back. it's the if I can make it down. I found out that my ideal summer job has it's last camp from the 15th-18th or something, which is HUGELY frustrating because I would kill to finally make an OCR meetup, and this is looking like it's the one to be at. I'll have to explore some other options for work...

It is a tad far for me to make it to any US shows, but somewhere along the way Powerglove is splitting ways with Sonata and doing some touring with Hammerfall, and I will likely be going to that show in Calgary. Sonata is still coming up through Edmonton, so I may go to that one too.
