  1. Sets were the key. Thanks Andrew (and everyone else who responded)
  2. RE: Beatboxing, just make sure you shoot me a PM if you want something. I don't check the collab forums all that often. Thanks!

  3. Nah, thanks. Sonic was never a passion of mine, but I'm all about laying down a beatbox track on whoever wants one!
  4. Um, QFG, next to the FF series, pretty much defined my childhood, and I will definitely be doing tracks from that series.

  5. I must be stupid. I can't figure out how to do Soundcloud's embedding; when it gives me the code specifically for wordpress, it only embeds that one song. I think the HTML5 code embeds a whole player, but wordpress doesn't like HTML5. I'll have to explore tindeck/bandcamp....
  6. I'm trying to figure out the best way to put a player of my music stuff on my website that doesn't require me to buy anything. Soundcloud's option is OK, but it puts a different box on the website per song, from what I'm seeing, and my Wordpress site doesn't accept HTML5. I haven't done web design in a reaaaaally long time so I'm looking for some help on this. Thanks.
  7. The holiday season killed it for a lot of us, but I'm with Brandon in that you can probably expect it sooner rather than later - and certainly not a year from now.
  8. No, no no. You're confusing this with Ocarina of Time.
  9. I wanted to throw down here that I'm a beatboxer, and, barring my equipment constraints (I don't have the best setup for this), I would be available to lay something down for anyone if they'd like.

  10. I just want to say that in the first couple of hours of the release, I've had 155 hits on my website. The most I've ever had in a single day due to any of my writing publications was 145. I fail as a writer I should just give up and become a permanent Theophany contributor. In all seriousness though, this album is amazing.
  11. I think it's amusing, and you can win an iPad http://8dio.com/?page_id=11196
  12. I would say yes if not for 2 notes that are below my range. Sorry
  13. I just came upon this thread. I want to contribute, but probably not until I'm done with a bunch of albums. I am a huge point and click adventure fan and QFG/KQ were the staples of my computerized youth. The first track I will do will have something to do with QFG 2 and it will be called "Where the F&@# is the Money Changer?"
  14. Alright, good advice. My current mic inventory is an SM58, an Audix i5 (basically an SM57) and the MXL 990 991 condenser package. I like the sound I'm getting with the i5+991 combo.
  15. Woot Jersey! I grew up about an hour away from there and used to go down there for band/choir events all the time. I don't know that I'll be able to make it, but everyone who goes is required to have a slice of pizza for me.
  16. Native Instruments is giving away DRIVER and some TRAKTOR sets for free right now.
  17. Thanks - I'll run a test with my acoustic. I just was wondering if using one mic without a preamp and one with a preamp is going to defeat the point.
  18. It's cool man, I'll keep the beard so we avoid any potential confusion.
  19. OA - your stats and mine are creepily similar. I haven't had them measured in a while, but last time it was 165 lbs 69 in 24 BMI 10% body fat
  20. As most of my music purchases go, I found a deal on a Behringer MIC200 tube preamp so I bought it on a reflex. It is a single channel (looking at the picture, I thought it was two channel, oops) and it has a bunch of presets as well. It's a really simple little preamp that's perfect for my really simple studio. For those of you that record live a lot - do I want to be using this every time I record anything live or are there situations where I don't want it at all? Also, I have a two-mic stereo setup that I use especially for guitar, since the mic position on the neck of an acoustic will pick up radically different freq ranges than at the end of the body, so that brings up a second question of whether or not it's okay to use a preamp on only one of the two mics, or if using a non-preamped mic in conjunction with a preamped mic will negate the benefits. Just looking for some sagely advice.
  21. Alright...we'll see when you roll up to magfest in your pimped out Fiat with chrome rims n' shit.
  22. I hear there's some sweet guitar and mandolin work on there, somewhere I'll be giving this a signal boost whenever/wherever I can.
