The Smitchens

Couldn't be the official sound track. That's been available for more than eleven days. I'd bought it quite some time ago from Danny B's website. A whole remixing of that album would be cool. The music there is certainly worthy of that kind of attention.

Figured I ought post a message and say thanks for your efforts before I forget to do so. Sounds great.

Ah, gotcha. Text killed it for me. I hope they don't remove the piano roll. My life depends on it.

I'm not afraid to admit it. I stand corrected.

That's the best thing about FFX right there followed in a close second by the voice acting.

I misread the title of this thread at first and immediately thought to myself "oooh... don't worry. It happens to a lot of guys."

Why would you want to play a game like Mega Man with anything other than a controller anyway?

I think the last MMO I played was Diablo 2 way back in high school. I dunno. I did enjoy a lot of aspects about FFXIII, but I thought it was an obvious surpassing of graphics in lieu of game play. I really liked how in the more open areas they gave it a grand feeling of nature with animals running around and what have you, but the almost total absence of civilization? That really killed a lot of it for me. Regretfully I don't see that changing any time soon. I find they spend too much time trying to make it look prettier than other games. What I think they ought do is look at the more monumental games in the franchise and consider what they'd done right with them. I mean. Christ. The demand to remake FFVII alone should be a clue enough on where to look.

Maybe he felt you should've done something more for the whole ice thing. And if you consider guys that throw dirt and cigarette butts in your eyes good friends, then I'm curious what you consider an enemy.

Is there a problem with having a piano roll?

Now that you mention it... yeah. Jasons are the same way for me too or in my case Jaesun. Went to school with a guy who's name was spelled like that.

I dunno. Briggs is fine, but Bens and Benjamins always raise an eyebrow for me. Probably because all the Bens I went to school with were weird douches so the name is forever tainted for me. That being said I plan on naming all of my daughters Ben. But hey. In a vain attempt to turn this around so the spotlight is on me. I get a lot of compliments on my name. I mean just look at it.

I usually do comparisons for volume levels, but people suggest doing the same for EQing as well and I can't say I've ever done that. Maybe that's why I'm such a shit mixer.

Yeah, I'm no stranger to the cell phone recording. Sure some people look at me strange when I'm humming out of key into my cell phone, but hey. We're artists. People are supposed to look at us weirdly. I have no problems when I'm home, though. I'm always ready to record.

I haven't seen a script that well written since the days of Jill Sandwiches.

Eh. If you're new to it then you're probably not going to notice much of a difference either way. Personally I haven't got any experience with either of the pieces of hardware you speak of, though I do have some Line 6 equipment. I'm gonna put my neck on the line and suggest that you'd probably do just fine with either one, but it's not exactly impossible to find the Toneport online, so I'm apt to recommend sticking with what you initially planned on getting. The quality of the sound is the main thing in question and Line 6 has become a household name with DI recording. I know nothing of Vox's expertise on that subject and honestly didn't even know they had interfaces. Have you checked youtube at least for videos displaying the use of these products? And you can always put it into abstract perspectives. For example: Worst case scenario you buy the Vox and think to yourself "shoulda done what I originally planned on doing."

I suppose it doesn't sound entirely like video games, but dammit it's worth a try. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=1113164

Why thank you. I'm toying with the idea of starting a band based off this idea.

My general writing processes in general can be summed with a whole lot of push this, pluck that, and hope for the best. I write everything in sheet music and throw that into a sheet music program. I regretfully am in a love/hate relationship with GuitarPro to solve these needs. I then export a midi and import that into FL where I use plugins out the wazoo and make all percussion and instruments sound less like crappy midis. At least that's what I do for all percussion and synths. And you don't want my advice on mixing. Best be thought a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt sort of thing (assuming I haven't already done that).

Is it just me or do they look like they have no business being in the neighborhood this was recorded in? Are we to assume this music has made them millions? I wonder what their parents think about their tasteful hair styles and tattoo decisions that surely won't see the light of regret for decades to come.

Now that I think of it... I have no idea what I've been listening to lately. I listened to some Cat Stevens recently... I guess that counts.

I looked through some of the already available options and didn't see this one anywhere. How about it? Vectorman. LT: Contrast on it is kind of low. Pass for now.

Right-o. A few weeks ago I had my wisdom teeth pulled (plus a molar). So I wrote this song during the healing process and I would be honored if any of you lot would listen and mercilessly critique it to no end. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=9799024 And here are the lyrics for those of you that like to sing along. I have named my enemy It's Butterworth Her head atop the finest pancakes With sweet entrails seeping over the plate Gripping her hair I lift up to feast Her soul is as sweet as the nectar in her veins A butter knife swings downward Like a guillotine and off pops her head Ow. My teeth hurt I had to have them removed Because of Mrs. Butterworth I probably shouldn't be doing this Because it hurts Damn you, Mrs. Butterworth I need you are to make a stack of flapjacks (I need a big stack of flapjacks) I need flapjacks right now I'm not talking about no corn cakes (I'm not talking about corn cakes) Extra butter Combine pancake mix and water in a bowl And stir until large lumps disappear For thicker pancakes add a little more mix For thinner pancakes add a little more water Are to biscuit (I need flapjacks) And then you cut them with mouth arrrrr (with wheat) Flapjack flapjack flapjack flapjack I need flapjack yeah. Flapjack flapjack flapjack flapjack

Thanks for the pointers, guys.
