recruitment ends tomorrow, right?

I'd be cool with teaming up with Anorax. Just Skype me if you have any questions (timaeus222 on Skype, of course), and I can usually get back to you within the day. It'd be best to contact me at around 6PM~12AM PST. If you want, I can provide what I have listed in my signature for sample upgrades or a solo section. Feedback or sample upgrades on pretty much anything, I'm game. I use FL Studio. What do you use?
I use Mixcraft 7 (although I might have a copy of FL floating around somewhere?). Haven't used Skype in a while, but yeah, I'll get in contact soon.

Wow, it's great to see RWS back (even if I only participated... once? oops)! I think I'll sign up as a Novice for the inaugural round of season 3. Fingers crossed, we get more stars in here!

I actually can't say I'm surprised Acers are rated so highly. For a run-of-the-mill laptop, my Acer Aspire 5250 has done really well. I've enjoyed using it, haven't had any OEM-based problems, software or otherwise *cough HP cough*. The one I'm using now is about three or four years old this past Christmas, and could probably go on for several more as my main PC. However, it's not the most music-friendly computing solution so I may end up buying a dedicated music computer in the near future, and if I end up getting a desktop I will definitely keep my Acer around. 9/10 Would buy again (not 10/10 because shit happens).
TC, I think prophetik misread your post and thought that you were looking for a gaming laptop, as opposed to the inverse.

For SNES games, you can use the C700 VST to load a game's .spc files into the VST, which then lets you play back the samples from the game. (Actually, I think there was a thread somewhere on these forums about it).

I've recorded voices for an open-source game in a car before. Makes theoretical sense at least, since you're...
- [*]blocking out sound
[*]recording in an area that doesn't have many right angles
[*]in a well-padded area
Seems legit to me. Maybe I'm way off.
I'd say you're spot on; I've done recordings inside of a car before (although, it was more for music intents than VO). The only problem I had with this was that the car in question wasn't exactly the greatest at blocking out sounds.
Now, being in a car limits you somewhat. Why? Sitting down restricts your diaphragm ever so slightly, and that can affect your vocal performance. This would probably have a more apparent effect on singing though (especially if you're going for a more operatic style), so I don't know if there would be any effect on vocal performance as far as voice acting goes.

I've noticed a time or two that there have been ads on OCR that are audio-enabled/video ads. These will usually show up on pages that have ad areas that are a suitable size for video-type, with the latest one showing up on an OCR Mascot page (Shantae's).
Is this just something that happens due to the advertisement system, or can it be controlled? It hasn't happened too much, so I guess it's not a problem, but I thought that I should bring it up.

why is x there and not banjo and kazooie
Why are there all different characters instead of Mega Man X? I mean, I thought this was MMX appreciation month.

Nintendo recommends using externally-powered HDD for external storage. Thought I'd toss that in.
-
Is that when MAG14 gets announced? I know it's probably a dumb question, but bear with me here, I've been out of the loop since M5 haha.
I think MAG13 was announced this past August, so I'm assuming it'll be around then. This, coming from someone who's never been to MAGFest and hasn't paid attention to MAG-related things until this year.
-
So considering that 1st name, should we change the site name to
...damnit Mirby!
The only way that could possibly get worse is:
-
Look I realize it's just barely February, but can we pleeeeeeease get an official MAG 14 thread started? I promise I'll love it and take care of it and feed it and I'll walk it every single day...We'll create a Mag 14 thread when it's actually relevant.

Like the Christians with Christ Jesus, we await your second coming.
I'm really hoping that next year's MAGFest occurs on a more university-friendly weekend, as I would have loved to have come this year if it weren't for school.

Cyril, are you itching for some podcast action?

GameCube triggers can be half-clicked.
Oh. That's interesting. I never had a GameCube, so I wouldn't know. This certainly explains why it'd be a little more difficult to port some GameCube games though, especially if a GC game used both positions of the L-R triggers as well as the Z shoulder button.
@Garrett: You mean the ZL and ZR buttons? Not sure why Nintendo chose Z for the original button on the GameCube controller, maybe because if they called it R1 and R2 instead, it would make people wonder why there was only one L? While I'm not a fan of the Wii U's R,ZR,L,ZL naming system, I suppose it makes sense to adapt something they've had for a while instead of reinventing yet another wheel.

Why is it overwhelming?
It's like Sony letting you download past titles from PS2 to PS4. You can't assume everyone has every old Wii game or that they can still buy a disc for a decent price. Metroid Prime Trilogy is impossible to find for a decent price and they're releasing it for $10! Besides, digital copies are awesome
Only bummer for me is no Miiverse support. I'd really love it if they patch that.
I agree about Gamecube support by the way. But if they can boot Wii discs with this new method, then they can surely boot GCN discs too. I wonder if they are avoiding it because of the L-R triggers?
underwhelming*
And your comparison (PS2->PS4) is more akin to GC->Wii U than Wii->Wii U (two console generations).
Why would there be a problem due to the LR triggers? The Gamecube had two, and the Wii U has two...
-
I believe by "gamepad support" they mean off-tv play, pointing your Wii remote at the gamepad screen.
I really hope you're being sarcastic, because otherwise that'd be ridiculous. Why am I even replying to this, of course you're being sarcastic!

Holy shit is virt an amazing composer.
About two(?) weeks ago, I bought Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. The game was awesome, had a great storyline, and that music!
I still have the OST stuck in my head, and I haven't played it well over a week. If you haven't yet, play the game. The gameplay is beautiful and the music just adds to the magic. I feel like that should be a joke.
Yeah. Bear in mind these are not remasters, though. They are straight ports with gamepad controller support.Wait, aren't there several elements of the Galaxy series that rely on using Wii Remote controls, such as collecting star bits? Or did they port that to the game pad so you can use touch?
-
Galaxy 2 is available right now, even.

What are your thoughts on HIIT/Tabata regimen? I need to get back into shape after slacking off over the winter break.
I'm aiming to get back into condition for semi-competitive swimming, and I'm wondering if HIIT/Tabata would be a good supplemental routine.

Out of curiosity, how much can you wring out of one synth? I was considering trying to do a song using only Massive or only FM8, that sort of thing. Is it worthwhile to try this, or would it be an execise in frustration?
Ever decided to go through Massive's presets and listen to them? That's a lot of sound.
Some synths will, invariably, be more complex than others, and have more sounds.
However, even the simplest of synths can be complex when you know how to automate them. The Minimoog, while rather simple in comparison to Massive or FM8 in regards to the interface or controls, can have a large variety of textures. It's always fun to
and seeing what you come up with!As far as making a song in Massive or FM8, if you feel you've gotten enough knowledge under your belt, you certainly can. Ultimately, it's up to you—would the challenge be worth it, or not? More likely than not, the less you know about how the synth works (through first hand experience, no less), the more frustrating this tends to be, especially if you're focusing on programming your sounds by hand, rather than opening up patches to run with.

Well, if you read the date, you'd know how recent the post was, and if you scroll through the page, it should be clear what the chronology of the posts are. When you know that, you can get the idea that if you want the first post, you'd want the first chronological post.
Post numbers help too
-
I would figure it's just a problem of not looking at the date. Seems like a similar issue to necroposting
Hmm, perhaps, but I'm not sure how the date would apply as far as confusion with not reading the OP is concerned
-
Yeah, this is what I'll probably end up doing for a little while at least. When I was first trying to get into writing music and had a decent job, I made the mistake of buying a bunch of synths and softsynths that I only sort of know how to use. I'll spend some quality time with them, and I'll roll with the punches if anything strikes me.
Good idea. One thing I've learned is that it's best if you try to focus on knowing one synth really well before moving onto another. Open your DAW, pick a synth, and tangle with it until you know every single nuance and can make that synth sing however you want it to. Once you've mastered its design, move on and conquer another one! This is something that I've recently embarked upon, and it's incredibly helpful. Just make sure you don't try to master multiple synths at once, as I've found that just makes things messy and just leaves you with partial knowledge.

You can change it under "user CP - edit options." I have no idea why members default to that... I prefer it though.
Oh, I certainly agree (maybe that's why this is the forum I visit the most, because I'm used to this layout), and I hope that it sticks around when DJP rolls out the new forum.
I've just noticed that it sometimes causes issues when people jump into a thread, take a glance at the first few items, and then comment. While this isn't always a problem, it can lead to some confusion and frustration in threads that rely on posters/commenters reading the first post (such as the current OCR Mascot voting thread) if a new user is automatically shown the newest stuff instead of the (rather important) first post.

I am thoroughly impressed zircon. The jealousy is real right now.
