Red Hot Chili Peppers - Aeroplane

Metal: maudlin of the Well - The band members in Kayo Dot's old band. Basically the same concept except with much more death metal and jazz elements. (See Kayo Dot) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13GyZh_if20 Cynic - Jazz death metal. One of the first bands that heavily use robotic vocals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRbLaNqsxhM Disillusion - Prog metal that doesnt sound like a big wankfest. Riffs are extremely catchy. (Note: they seem to experiment a lot with genres, as their newest release is very industrial) Equilibrium - Folk metal done right Lykathea Aflame - Atmospheric Brutal Death Metal (yes, it does exist). The drummer has got to be God himself. Some non metal-related bands: Kayo Dot - Avant-garde-jazzy-progressive-classical-rock with huge amounts of experimentation and a little grind influence for good measure http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geJnvIQ7HnY Portal - Spacy, atmospheric, jazzy group with female vocals http://www.kringelbass.com/mp3/Other/Portal-Cosmos.mp3 (entire album is free to download at that site) Stars of the Lid - Ambient music with a huge classical influence http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3CoihmU1ok Streetlight Manifesto - Technical 3rd wave ska. Literally shits over all other 3rd wave ska bands. Other bands: Ulver - Started as a black metal band, changed into neofolk, went back to black metal, and now kinda floats around the electronica, ambient and experimental genres. The posted one is a later work, and its kinda electornica-classical-experimental.

I still have my special edition black dreamcast from years back. Had to do the controller port mod on it though (there's a flaw in the design that will fry the controller port board after X hours of X controllers playing through it).

Mainstream means nothing to me. There's only 3 kinds of music in the end: good, bad and meh. And all 3 bands are pretty damn bad.

In Flames - Whoracle

No, they're just really bad and everyone knows it.

This is fantastic news for Nickelback, as they are no longer the worst band in existence.

Cynic - Sentiment

I always liked Sonic Shuffle, although it did have some massive flaws, would have been a Mario Party killer if it didn't have them.

Kayo Dot - The Manifold Curiosity

sonic has been frowning recently due to the craptacular shit that keeps getting released under his name

Orphaned Land - Ocean Land (The Revelation) Arabian metal is like the best thing ever

This was posted on 3 other forums I go to, and I love how different the reactions are on each one.

in your bed

I got a giant, pretty obvious scratch on my original DS. I really don't care tbh.

If guitar rig 3 has some sort of synth or synth wah pedal, use that. An envelope filter can work well too.

Raise the p-ups on the lower side.

If your guitar has a battery it has active electronics. Basically if the battery is dying, the guitar signal will fade in an out. If your guitar doesn't have a battery it has passive electronics. Have you went through all your effects to see if any of those are causing it?

Mastodon - The Last Baron New Mastodon album is great, you should all get it.

I could use some steak right now actually. With A1 sauce.

I recommend Kaspersky, as it does a fantastic job at finding everything, but like prophets of mephisto said, it sometimes gets important files, so you have to make sure you aren't deleting anything important. Unfortunately, I can't use it as my school requires Symantec Antivirus on all computer on the network...

Omg, almost the exact setup as me, except I use Reaper... 0_0 Anyway, from 0:38 to 0:57, 1:36 to 1:55 and at 2:53 to 3:31 the double kicks were meshing with the other instruments (specifically rhythm guitar) poorly and it sounded like a big muddy mess, and I know for a fact that the judges criticized a recent submission for doing the same thing. EQing can fix things up. The kick sample on Beatcraft can be made really great of you give it a nice boost starting at 1k and boosting the higher frequencies above it with Beatcraft's built in EQ. Also, someone mentioned the bad hi-hats earlier, and I have managed to make them sound better on Beatcraft with some EQ help, but it's just better to find cymbal samples online.

All music is VGM when converted to 8 bit vs. the real thing

wow thats awesome i may have to try that out sometime
