i'm not afraid of writing music. it's just difficult. for me, anyways, it's almost always spontaneous. i can sit down and force something to come out, but it's usually crap. my best stuff happens when i'm out and about or not thinking about it. as such i get melodies in my head all the time but in usually circumstances where i can't record them and i often end up forgetting them. even when it does happen when i'm at a keyboard my basic understanding of music theory is so lax it's literally trial and error to reproduce it. when i'm not at a keyboard i can't read/write music so i can't write what i'm hearing down, and i don't have that ability that a lot of musicians and composers have to just hear a note and go "oh that's an A#" so i wouldn't know what to write anyways. i've started carrying around either my DS with Korg M01 or a tablet with some basic piano roll software everywhere i go, and i'm slowly training myself to at least be able to realize intervals on hearing them which is hard for me for some reason but i figure if i can do that i can at least reproduce the melodies of my brain quickly which would help greatly in remembering them.

i never even mentioned bitrate, Rozovian. i'm not freaking talking about bitrate. i'm talking about samplerate. resampling non-divisible sample rates is destructive. and he's doing it twice. once when he resamples 44.1khz wav to 48khz mp3, again when he resamples 48khz mp3 to 44.1khz redbook. this is a) destructive, and pointless since he started at 44.1khz to begin with.

why on earth are you taking a 44.1khz WAV, resampling it to 48khz in a LOSSY format, then resampling it AGAIN, BACK to 44.1khz lossless? that's just... it's... silly, man. it's a silly thing to do. just burn the WAV to CD. there is NO REASON to encode it to mp3 before burning the disc! let alone resample it twice and downconvert it along the way!

Yes! Traffic Department 2192! Thanks man, I have been trying to figure that one out for ages. Weird that it was included on a 3D Realms demo CD, but now that you mention it One Must Fall: 2097 (also an Epic Megagames game) was on that disc too. Maybe they had some kind of partnership deal back in the day? Anyways didn't take me much digging on Wikipedia to figure out the other two. Realms of Chaos (2D beat-em-up) and Terminal Velocity (3D shoot-em-up).

I got like, some weird limited edition release of Duke Nukem 3D for my birthday some millions of years ago. With it, came a separate disc with nothing but demos for older Apogee/3D Realms games. Some of them were pretty fun but I can't seem to remember their names (with the exception of Death Rally which I later ended up buying). Maybe you guys can help me remember? One was a top down game they put out i think towards the end of their 2D era where you're like a future cop and you drive around some weird town in some kinda space... car... thing and do weird mission stuff? It was weird but kind of fun. And there was a sidescrolling beat-em-up that shot super pixelated blood all over the screen whenever you hit someone. No not Ninja Rabbits. Though Ninja Rabbits was kinda fun too. Or at least it was when I was 7. And there was also a 3D shoot-em-up that didn't totally suck. Anybody remember these?

i loved Crystal Caves. and Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure. and of course the Commander Keen games.

how about some Terranigma? Zelda would be good too. The Zelda 3 and/or in particular come to mind.

i'm 12 years old and what is this

can't speak to actual singing technique and all that mumbo, but first off, a C01U is a great place to start. contrary to popular belief having super high end mics with ultra expensive preamps and a ridiculous audio interface is not the be-all end-all of vocals. sure it helps, but like snappleman alluded to, far more important is positioning and room sound. the best way to ruin a vocal recording is to have background noise. the next best way is to have too much room sound or natural reverb. also make sure your mic is facing the right damn way (SOUNDS OBVIOUS RIGHT BUT YOU'D BE SURPRISED MAN YOU'D BE SURPRISED) and don't get too close or you'll get proximity bass, which might actually sound good to untrained ears but trust me you'll want to kill yourself trying to mix it. oh, and levels. make sure that shit don't clip, son. and use a pop filter.

so is there like an elitistjerks for diablo 3 yet where i can read up on how stats and shit really work cuz i literally have no idea and it is not very intuitive. for instance, what the hell does physical resistance do as opposed to armor? how is spell damage actually calculated? how does +attack speed affect casting? why do i get more DPS (according to the damage stat on my character screen) from +10 dmg than +100 int? what are the stat weights for each class? etc. also, is there some trick to not dying 10 times on every pack of elites? i just started out hell (level 52 witchdoctor) and while i could at least snare and kite elites in nightmare, in hell they're just too god damn fast and they're all up on me before i can even cast anything and i die in 2 seconds. glass cannon ftl.

I have a WAV for Juese Belmont, but that's all. Andy might have WAVs for Scenes From a Memory (he did the engineering) and I have no idea about Black Wing Metamorphosis. The rest are all long gone, unfortunately. I still have the actual project files for a couple of them but they're pretty old; I'm sure they're missing plugins and samples. Trying to piece them back together would be time consuming and even then they wouldn't sound quite the same (something I get the feeling you're trying to avoid). I'll PM you Juese Belmont.

i am not a lawyer so what's happening here is these guys are trying to bully you into giving up the name. they have money and lawyers. you don't. they know you don't. however, they don't want this to go to court any more than you do. they're hoping you roll over without a fight. but i hate to break it to you, you're not standing on very solid ground here, brad. even though you're not selling anything, you ARE using their likeness as your own. you didn't know it at the time you created the website, though, so most likely what will happen if this DOES go to court is you will lose the right to use the name prophetik, and your domain name, but nothing more. they can't sue you for damages. well, they can try, but they will fail. unless this thread stays up. if this does go to court, this thread will be used as evidence. they will probably say you tried to tarnish their good name out of retaliation. they will be right. here's what i'd do if it were me. send the guy an email and kindly ask him to have his lawyer contact you. once you've talked to their for real legal representation and you're sure what they're saying isn't bullshit and this is not just some random internet troll impersonating them (which it may be though that seems unlikely at this point) then change your moniker and set up a new website somewhere else, and ask a moderator to delete this thread. DO NOT GIVE THEM THE DOMAIN THOUGH. simply stop using it. if they want it, they can buy it from you. i wouldn't even bother trying to register a "prophetik music" trademark. that'd be like trying to register "Coca-Cola Music." it'll never fly. it often takes years for trademarks to get registered anyways, several of those years are just so opposition has a chance to file a dispute. which will happen the instant Prophetik gets word of it. you'd just be stirring up the hive even further. it sucks, but that's my $0.02 USD

Well, I found "Welcome to the next stage of destiny!" NAR_CHARASELE.adx.wav in Narrator.rar

there should definitely be some kind of offline play. having EVERYTHING server side is pretty silly.

99 internets to stevo. i loves me some kirby's dream land. one of those games that always gets the old nostalgia going. when i was a young lad of 7 or 8 i played it for days and days. i wasn't much good at that game at first, but when i did finally beat it and got the sound test code, first thing i did was run a 1/8" stereo cord from the headphones out to my stepdad's ridonculous stereo system. stevo does one of my favrite tracks great justices. GOOD ON YOU, SIR. GOOD ON YOU. makes this jolly fatman even jollier. and fatter? man i wish i had a good place to record acousticscss

does nobody like metalocalypse or venture bros?

NETFLIX ANIME I've been watching animus on Netflix. A lot of them suck. Some of them don't. My thoughts on a few of the ones I've seen so far: THE GOOD Mushi-Shi - Fantastic. Awesome art, great voice acting, and genuinely interesting stories. The soundtrack is pretty good too. It's about a dude who wanders around the Japanese countryside solving mysteries and helping folks with problems involving invisible creatures called Mushi. A lot better than it sounds. Ghost Hound - If you can get past the main character's voice and the absolutely retarded floating translucent purple babies with pink butts it's really not a bad show. Not really that scary, for a "horror" show, but quite interesting in other regards, especially all the psychology shit. I wonder how much of it is accurate. Naoki Urasawa's Monster - This one's kinda long, at 74 episodes, but I recommend it. It's in Japanese, with English subtitles. Normally, that'd be just fine, but it's kind of weird in this case considering 90% of the series takes place in Germany. Weirder still that when they're speaking "German" or "Czech" or "English" they're all still speaking Japanese but magically can't understand each other *throws up hands.* That said, an excellent show nonetheless. It's like Twin Peaks meets The Fugitive. But anime. Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo - 4/5. Excellent voice acting. Unique art style. A retelling/adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic set some two or three thousand years in the future. Would be one of the greatest animes ever if they just dropped the whole Gankutsuou angle. But no, they just had to go and anime it up. Because Giant Robots and Evil Space Demons make everything better. Still pretty damn good though. Gurren Lagann - I'm only halfway through this one, but it's been pretty great so far. I'd finish it, but I have a feeling it's gonna have one of those heartbreaking endings that'll leave me all depressed for a week. I'll get around to it eventually. THE NOT SO GOOD Shigurui: Death Frenzy - I quit watching this one a couple episodes into it. The whole thing just feels like a vapid excuse to show as much blood and tits as possible. Does it get better? Maybe I'll give it another shot some time. Golgo 13 - Watched one episode of this to give it a try. Dumbest shit I've ever seen.

it was... ok.

your opinion is a stupid opinion

the way it spins down at the end leads me to believe it's coming from the disc drive itself. i've heard a similar sound before from my wii that i determined was the result of an imbalance in the disc caused by those stupid stickers gamestop and company put on rental and/or used discs. if it's not that or some other defect in the disc i have no idear. i don't have an xbox 360 so don't ask me what to do about it.

wow a farmville arrangement album

yayyyyyy! now i may complete my 256 block tall tree! mwahahahahhAHAHAHA

i can be voice actor too? LET US WORK TOGETHER.

so infiltrator update is live. jackal is stupid overpowered. especially considering you can fire it without breaking stealth. also it's $20 for the infiltrator pack. does that seem ludicrous to anyone else? pay $20 and get an I WIN button?
