70gb is childs play, my man. I've downloaded way more than that

Are you telling me that someone who has no remote idea of how a guitar works is willing to put down $600 on guitar samples?

I thought this Prominy LPC thing was supposed to sound real...? Anyway, you fail so badly at understanding what a certain instrument can and can't do. You can't play harmonies like that, they'll distort. Playing a harmonic lead passage like that needs to be played on two separate guitar tracks. For a clean lead sound, your guitar must be played in a monophonic nature, meaning one note at a time, otherwise you'll get shitty sounding shit like you have there. You gotta know SOMETHING about guitars before you bootleg a 70gb piece of software

I'm teaching the man to fish, you fucknut.

Agreed, we need more recognition for all the hard work we do here.

I don't wanna bore the guy. After song #70 he'll be pretty tired of it. Plus, with that many entries, I'd most like be repeating what others have already done, adding to the uselessness of my entry.

Too many damn songs on this already. Count me out.

The band was either hugging your nipple or you had em rolled up, because we were an inch away from a testicle sighting.

You're asking something that you have to learn on your own. There's no way to describe a sound of a cab on a POD I can't personally use and hear for myself. The most important thing you need to know is about how Amps and mic placement work, the cabs you use to shape the sound the way you want it. I don't know which models the POD has, but I'm guessing it has them sorted by the amount of gain and drive. But, you probably don't even know what gain and drive are either, so time to teach you how that all work. An amp (or amp modeler in your case) will always have a GAIN control, gain is the volume of the incoming guitar signal. Some amps have this as a flat out GAIN knob, some have it as a VOLUME knob, and some have it as multiple volume knobs. Amps that use two volume knobs will give you a Volume I and Volume II, which is a bit more interesting because each knob will affect different characteristics of the guitar input (like, VolI is for the high frequencies, VolII is for the low). Amps may also have two inputs for your guitar cable, this works the same as the double volume knobs, Input I (or High Input) and Input II (or Low Input). Gain does not ADD distortion, it just boosts the signal coming from your guitar, this may cause the amp itself to distort the sound. You may also have a DRIVE control, this can work in a couple of ways, it can act as a second GAIN control to let you push the amp further and get more distortion out of it, or it can be a DISTORTION control in disguise. Distortion controls usually ADD distortion to the signal, instead of just boosting it to the point that the amp itself distorts it. This is a difference between Tube and Solid State amps that has nothing to do with what you're doing because you're using a POD so we're not getting into that. Just know that gain and drive don't change the signal, distortion does. Also to note, there might be words like "american", "british" and "modern", all this means is that those amps have been voiced to emulate a different style of EQ used by a couple legendary amp circuits. American typically means no mids in the EQ, or a fixed low value without a control for mid eq, British means that all three (Bass, Mid, Treble) are all even, Modern means they're emulating Mesa amps, or that particular style of very high gain. Now you should be able to set the POD to match the cabinets for whichever amp you choose, but if it doesn't, the cabs are grouped similarly to the amps. You start with small 1x10, 1x12 cabs. What does that mean? the 1 means that there's one speaker, the 10 or 12 is the size of the speaker in inches. Then you get into Open Back and Closed Back, that means the back of the amp is either sealed or it's open and lets more sound escape out the back. A Closed Back setting would get you a closer sounding, in your face tone, open back would give you a slightly smoother, rounder sound, up to you. Typically, low gain or CLEAN amps tend to use smaller cabinets like 1x12 and 2x12. Higher gain amps go from 2x12 to 4x12. Don't think that to get the heaviest sound you NEED to go with a 4x12 cab, personally I prefer to use 2x12 cabs when recording guitars, 4x12 cabs are just louder (and you can mic more speakers for when recording, but you're using a POD so...) but amp modelers sound a little different when working between 2x12 and 4x12 cabs, for heavy tones play around and find the one you like. Again, you'll find "american" "british" and "modern" when looking at the cabs, these are EQed to match the amps. Mic placement time! I don't know how much the POD lets you fool around with Mic placement, but it's very important in the sound you want. There are typically 3 options when it comes to mic position. They would be called On Axis (or directly on the speaker of the cab)which gives you a very bright sound, Off Axis (tilted at a 45 degree angle) which gives you a slightly dampened sound, and Far (mic placed a few feet from the speaker) which gives you a more ambient sound. I like to use two mics on a cab, mic one speaker on axis, one off axis, you can simulate this by adding two cabs and choosing a different mic position for each (if the POD allows for it). Then you have mic selection, the standard procedure is to use a dynamic mic, but (especially for the low gain clean amps) you wanna try plying around with the condenser mics, they tend to have a warmer sound as opposed to the dynamic mics which give you a more direct sound. Hope this helps you start learning how to get your own tone, and have fun with it! The most important thing is to learn by listening.

Capcom has nothing to do with the game other than licensing out the rights. But yeah, I do hope this is the first in many OCR scored games. As much as the BotA songs don't fit a fighting game, they'd still be better than the poor sounding shit some "official" composer can put out (these days at least).

That's awesome news, but at least half of those songs are not up to snuff. I really hope the artists were forced to go back and improve their work.

I don't know man, I can't imagine those two having normal sex. It's probably totally awkward and strange. They never talk during, and they can't look at one another afterwards for at least a day. Zircon probably needs to look at the sales figures of his albums just to get an erection.

What do you need done and how much are you willing to pay me?

I've spent the last decade living with my lady, we agreed to get married in 2001 or 2002, but we've been too *busy to ever actually plan and do it. We're more of a married couple than anyone here, I can guarantee that, so I guess you can put me down as engaged or whatever. *lazy.

That sounds so gay Writing non loop based music in FL studio is like roasting a holiday turkey in the microwave.

Well, considering you've only been at it for 8 hours or so, I assume you just jumped in without reading the help files or the manual. I strongly suggest you do this as you play with the software. Don't worry on making a song just yet, first thing you have to do is learn. FL is loop based, if you don't like that, you'll need to try something different. I assume you pirated FL studio, so it's no big deal to switch over to something like Reaper which is pretty much free. Reaper works like a more traditional DAW and you can work in a linear way with it, which is what you seem to want to do. Anyway, be sure to read all the documentation, and search google for stuff like "Fruity Loops Tutorial" or "Reaper Tutorial". There are countless detailed tutorials out there (even youtube videos), targeted specifically to helping new users learn the basics. But yeah, ALWAYS read help files and manuals, and never assume you can just dive into anything. You need to have a basic understanding of how DAWs work in general, and a basic understanding of music theory (google again) to really get anything out of your time with this stuff.

No point whatsoever in making that post... fail.

That's like saying: "HELP! I can't get my math homework done! Someone tell me the answers." What're the exact problems you're having? How are you using the word "mix"? Do you mean you can't get a good song done in terms of composition or arrangement? Or are you asking for help in the actual mixing of your song?

How big is your budget? There is only one guitar VST worth using, and it's quite expensive. If you have the scratch, check out: Prominy LPC Otherwise, harden the fuck up and learn to play guitar. ANYONE can do it. No excuses.

I'm in. My prayers go out to bLiNd, I hope this cheers him up and lets him know we all care, and hell it's the least I can do for all the enjoyment I've gotten out of his music.

Software that you use is not as important as what you know. Learn music theory first. Get yourself a cheap keyboard, or if your family has a piano then go use that. LEARN MUSIC THEORY. That's the single most important thing you can do when learning to do ANYTHING musical. After you learn theory, READ UP ON THE HISTORY OF MUSIC PRODUCTION AND WHAT IT MEANS TO MIX, MASTER, ENGINEER, AND PRODUCE A SONG. Of course, you won't do that, because SquallRoth8923 tells you that he "made this awesum remix with Reason and I dont no n e theory!" sure his remix will suck, but being as inexperienced as you are, you wont know the difference, and so the cycle will begin again.

Fuckin Swedes think of everything.

Well, yes, I am confident that I will enjoy at least half the album. The rest I'll have to wait and hear.

The hotmail address on the cover really adds to the legitimacy of this. Only the katakana seems to rival that level of sophistication.
