My background downloader managed to gather an entire 10mb of the update. 22 hours left at 4.0k/s from the blizzard updater.

only 2 hours? must be nice. *eyes the 22 hours remaining notice*

in the future, you should probably hold out on creating a thread until after you have something people can listen to.

I started playing guitar in my freshman year of high school. Basically, a good friend of mine got a guitar for christmas, and started bringing it to school. He would let me play around on it during the lunch break. Over time I got to where I really liked it, so in order to learn more, during my sophomore year in high school I got a guitar of my own (a Rogue ST-3... thing was a piece of shit, but I still learned to use it). The first song I learned was Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. I continued teaching myself for a bit, then in my junior year, I enrolled in a guitar class. Unfortunately, it was a classical guitar class. But the teacher was cool, and let me use my electric guitar. So I learned classical style on an electric guitar. Having already been playing for a little while, I was easily the most advanced guitarist in the class, which really kinda sucked because the teacher had to teach to the other kids which hampered me quite a bit. So while I enjoyed the class (an excuse to show off in front of the girls) I didn't really get much out of it besides some minor stage experience, which has come in handy. Since then, everything else I've learned has either been self taught, or taught by one of my guitarist friends. I joined a band in the middle of my senior year, and I've been playing with them ever since. Playing in a band has done wonders for my chops. I highly recommend getting in a band for those of you serious about guitar. Plus, if you're good and you hustle, you can actually make a living off of it (we get about $300-450 an hour for our gigs). Also, practice. A lot. So in summary: - Get in a band - Practice - Practice - Practice - Talk to IRL people you know who play guitar. Most people are cool with helping you out. Also jam with them and shit. - Take classes if you want, but be sure to take one that's at your level and not for people who've never touched a guitar before in their lives.

Dude, levelling up my hunter is going to be majorly asstastic now. Sure they're beefing up the end-game gear to compensate for the agility nerf, but what about those of us who aren't at end-game yet? We're just supposed to deal with having extremely gimp DPS until then?

Damn, I'm drivin' over the mountains and shit. Yeah! YEAH! DRIVIN' A TOYOOOTAAA. VROOM VROOM BABY!

I can't sing, and the only mic I currently have at my disposal is an $8 sony piece of crap with beer spilled all over it. But I'll do something.

Plugsound Free in particular. There's a few others (mostly effects) but I don't use them often.

K so I'm having an extremely annoying problem. Basically, certain VST's are introducing latency to my songs in FLStudio. In FLStudio, everything sounds fine (at low latency anyways) but whenever I render a song using one of the affected plugins, there's very noticable timing errors that totally throw everything off and essentially break the songs. Basically, certain VST's are another 10-20 ms behind everything else in the mixdown. But it varies. If it were simply 10ms, I could probably compensate, but it appears to be different each time. The latency is also seemingly dependent on the buffer size. If my buffer size is 10ms or less in FLStudio, the timing seems just fine. But above that, and especially at 50ms or higher, the timing errors become apparent. Unfortunately, there's no control whatsoever over FLStudio's buffer settings upon mixdown, so it's basically fucked. Any suggestions? Please, this is killing me.

I used to run my mage through Ragefire Chasm to farm for linen (I'm not actually sure WHY I needed linen; I gave it to new tailors and such). Sometimes I'd run a group of newbies through, since I could usually clear it solo in ten minutes or less. It was fun dragging every trogg into one big group and then killing them instantly with Blast Wave. Same with Shadowfang Keep, which is still one of my favorite instances. I love the atmosphere of that place. I went to the Stockades on my druid at around lvl 55. It was fun. Well, getting to the Stockades was fun. Sneaking around Stormwind trying my best to avoid lvl 60's and the elite stealth detection guard patrols. Stockades itself was disappointing though. Quite possibly the lamest instance in the game. Also, my brother has a method of farming RFC with his mage. He can clear pretty much the whole instance in about a minute. Near the beginning is a wall you can climb up, and if you attack a mob on the other side of the wall, the mob will run around through the entire instance and pull every other mob along the way, then when they all reach him, he mana shields and AoEs them all down in about 10 seconds. Then it's just a matter of looting 70 corpses before they start disappearing.

whoa, NICE find. between this and the DS tracker, i may actually have a reason to buy one of them fangled flash carts for my DS. too bad they are so outrageously expensive.

Wrong server bubs. I'm talking about Illidan Horde, though I do have a few toons on Bloodscalp Alliance (but none are at SM yet and I haven't played them in a while).

Sucks, I'm having the same problem with Scarlet Monastery. I can't find a SM group for the life of me. Also, I bought my mount, and had literally 15 copper left over. Funtimes. I've since dropped engineering and picked up herbalism as a means of making more of teh moneys. More money = better gear = easier to level = life doesn't suck quite so much.

Heh, I used to have a Yamaha PSR-6. I almost wish I didn't sell it. With presets like "Dog Piano" you can't go wrong!

I dunno about alliance at 49, but for Horde Hinterlands is a good place. I grinded from like 47 to 50 there, I gained 2 levels in one day just killing turtles on the shore just north of revantusk. Alliance would probably get ganked hard along the shore (right next to the Horde base) but there's an Alliance town out there too isn't there? Also, don't forget about Jintha'Alor. I'm assuming you've hit up Searing Gorge since you mentioned Incendosaurs. Other places you could go would be Tanaris, Azshara, Un'Goro, Felwood, Feralas, Blasted Lands.

Isn't that a playstation 2 game? I know MTV Music Generator 1 was released on PC, but as far as I know MTV Music Generator 2 was not. So I'm assuming you're somehow recording the sound output from your PS2, which is probably where your problem is coming from. Also, since MG2 is mostly comprised of stock loops and phrases, you're pretty much guaranteed to have any submissions to OCR rejected. Same with people who use E-jay. It's a bad idea anyways.

It's coming out before Burning Crusade though, isn't it? Burning Crusade isn't coming out until January. Basically 2.0.1 raises the level cap to 70, with all the new talents (no new spells yet), and adds a new Battleground or something.

Guns rofl, we use it anyways) Memphis LP Clone electric guitar Hammer Dulcimer Various percussion instruments and crud Stuff we don't actually gots but have access to, cuz it belongs to friends or the SAC, which we use when playing live An amazingly nice drum set, with like 2,000 toms and a billion cymbals and chimes and a cowbell. I should make cowbell samples. Hmm. A handful of practice/studio guitar amps. A farfisa organ. An extremely out of tune upright piano (in the SAC). About 50 various mics. (SAC) A set of 4 JBL 1x15 PA monitors. (SAC) A small handfull of Crown mixers, amps (dear god they are heavy), crossovers, compressors, and various other goodies. (SAC) 10,000 miles of cables. (SAC) Fog machines, lights, light triggers. (SAC) and the coup de gras... 2 4x15, and 4 4x12 Speaker cabinets (SAC). These things are so amazingly huge, we can only fit like 2 in the truck at a time. But they can reach the masses, so it's all good. Probably a few things I forgot. So basically, we have this ridiculous amount of shit, but as of currently, nowhere to set it up (we got kicked out of our last place). So it's pretty much scattered between 3 houses (mine being one). E-peen +1

I noticed the background downloader is up again, with a ~450mb file. Does this mean 2.0.1 is getting released soon?

Wait wait, MG2 as in MTV Music Generator 2? Are you fucking serious?

I am entirely bored and have nothing to do at the moment, so I am going to answer some 3+ year old questions! Some Suzumebachi Q&A if you will. The piano is just a free soundfont (I don't recall which one, but it was a steinway sample of some kind). All I did was simply double the sample an octave apart. This can be done in FruityLoops using the Fruity Soundfont player. Go to the FUNC tab of the Soundfont player, and in the first "Echo delay" box, set "FEED" to 100% or higher (play with it and decide where you want it). Set "ECH" to 1, "TIME" to 0:00, and "PITCH" to -1200 (the lowest it goes). Basically what this does is produce a simultaneous (since the time is at 0:00) echo 1200 cents, or one octave below the original. Yeah that was intentional, though upon relistening it does sound a bit loud. The static was taken from yet another free soundfont that was basically just looped recordings of blank vinyls. Yes, I do. But not in this song. That piano was actually painstakingly sequenced by hand. Just the first little run took me a good 2 or 3 hours of editing and tweaking. The piano and the beatslicing were easily the most difficult parts of this mix. And uhh... I think that's it. Yes, I am a pompous jerk.

this thread makes me how about instead of copping out, you take the time to learn how to program? i am strongly against the idear of slapping drum loops into a song (even though i have been guilty of it in the ancient past) and calling it good. if you're one of them beat slicers though, i guess that's ok. but still, drum loops are generally a bad idea.

MUTHAFUCKAAAAAAA. I'll be grabbing this at school tomorrow for sure. Anyways hurray for release!

I'm messing with FamiTracker, except I'm having a problem. Since there's no volume control for the Triangle channel, how do you set note off? = does nothing

On a semi unrelated related note, I wonder how hard it would be to build your own midi controller. I have a midi keyboard, but unfortunately it doesn't have pitch or mod wheels. I wonder if I could make (or buy) some stand alone midi CC wheels/pedals/knobs for controlling random shit and shit.
