Just for some background, I'm in pretty good shape, but there are so many people around me that swear by Crossfit (I'm military) and those folks are generally in tip-top shape. I've just never had a chance to try it. Yeah, it looks goofy (the pull ups are just weird), and if you do it improperly (like the idiot dead lifting 500 pounds or whatever with a giant curled back) you're going to hurt yourself. But I've actually never met anyone that injured themself doing crossfit. Not that I doubt you, ecto, but have you (or anyone else here) actually ever tried it? There are too many people that I know that swear by it for me to just write it off quite that quickly. I'm also joining a free-running gym at the end of the month. Imma break myself.

Any of you guys do Crossfit? I've always kind of wanted to try, but I'm not really sure I get it. Do you JUST do crossfit? Working out for 10 minutes a day, while I know it can be exhausting, seems way too little for anyone that wants to get in shape. Yet I know crossfit people are some of the craziest beasts in the world. Anyway, I'd like to give it a shot, but I don't want to pay 400/month to go to one of those gyms. I'd rather do the WOD on my own.

*does a barrel roll*

I was in the gym a few days ago letting my OCR playlist roll, which has the torrents in them at random. For the first time, I heard Hymn of Aveh, and I literally stopped in the middle of the gym and just stood there, listening. Fantastic, fantastic work. I

Thanks DarkSim! I've had to put this one aside for a bit due to other projects, but once I get back to it (hopefully soon) feedback like that is great for helping me really fine-tune the mix.

Imma try and do Cid's. I've got an idea but just returned from being away from my DAW for 4 days and life is poised to destroy me again. We'll see how fast I can do it. Gimme a week, maybe, for a solid WIP.

This stuff is so cool! When I can justify spending money on any more T-Shirts, I am totally getting one or more of these. You should make a baby onesie so my incoming child can enter this world rocking.

I think THIS is the most overlooked piece of the puzzle.

Not that I know of? Was it yours? Next thing you know I'll be posting everyones OCR tracks to my soundcloud and claiming that I wrote them!

ecto - stay away from my wife. She'd fall in love with you for posting what you did. I love to see people passionately and intelligently deconstructing the common knowledge (the common ignorance). There is such a gigantic hole in modern medicine and the knowledge of the general population when it comes to health and food, propagated by years of listening to doctors that had no clue what they were talking about and listening them tell you "eggs will kill you and butter is bad" on CNN. Love you guys. EAT (real) BUTTER.

For some reason I didn't see any of these updates. What's my timeline for Cid's now that Steiner's is taken?

I use an Audix i5 or SM58 into a Focusrite SaffirePro14 into my computer. $300 total of equipment. Granted, I've only ever had one voice over gig.

Thanks Timaeus. A little too human of a performance, maybe. I'll fix those in the next iteration. I haven't gotten a lot of feedback action on this in the last few days. Do we think it's ready for mod review?

Thanks C&C. I actually think the piano might be clipping at some points, which is giving it that harsh sound. I had to double-track the piano to get it to carry and then I didn't do a great job of adjusting the levels or applying compression. That should be an easy fix.

You're old.

This. Depending on how fast the person is, you're probably offering them $4.00 an hour. Best of luck with the project.

Goal = turn Kepora's theme into a late Romantic-era piano concerto. Piano is played live (but sampled). Otherwise there is live clarinet, french horn, and trumpet in there in different places. This is sort of my first attempt at doing anything orchestral. Remix: https://soundcloud.com/xprtnovice/flight-of-the-dark-owl-v6 Source:

I have to agree here, but that's part ego Also the 2nd sax section is too far in the background.

Many happy returns!

What's my timeline and which would you rather have? February may be rough on me time wise. Military duty and baby showers and all that.

Depending on timeline and the director's opinion, I might be able to scoop up another.

I am actually really enjoying the digital sound design class so far. I made a topic for OCR people but only a few have posted there.

The only way I've ever heard of that is asking for student IDs to validate a student rate of purchase. I'd stay away.

Ha, love that. I want to throat punch people who do that shit.
