SnappleMan

Yeah, his profession and his hobbies are both dependant on his limbs. I hope he recovers swiftly and makes a mighty comeback.

Yeah, I'm already done with most of my work. I just need to get my soundcard tuned to my software and I'll be able to mix the finals soon. THen I can get to work on whatever else needs to be done.

Damn, I send my heart out to Sixto, and as for you Snap, good deal. Yeah man, hit me up on AIM sometime so we can get everything ready for heading towards a release. There's some stuff I want to talk to you about.

Another bit of bad news. Sixto was in a MAJOR accident in which he was run over by a forklift. One of his arms is completely shattered and he won't be able to do anything with it for a long while. I've taken over his track on the project and I hope he gets better. Now a bit of good news. I re-installed all my major programs and things since my PC died, and I've since gotten a little bit of my work back on the project. I've been working alot though, and will have all my tracks done by the due date of the project.

What you need to develop is a good sense of shame, and a lack of faith in your own judgement and that of your close friends. Only then will you be able to realise that your music sucks and you'll be too embarassed to submit it till it doesn't suck. If you get REALLY lucky, like me, your music will suck, but every submission gets accepted into OCR anyway!

I've used most of the things that come included with Komplete, and I gotta agree with zircon on this one. It's one of the best values you could get today. It can almost completely defeat the need for anythig else, depending on what you do.

Some bad news. Last night my PC somehow caught some really bad spyware that downloade nasty bugs to my PC. Everything was lost, including my work on this project. I'll look for an old backup CD that should have some older versions of a couple of the songs, and I'll have to redo many things. Anyway, I'll need to re-download some tracks from Rexy and a couple others, so expect PMs from me soon.

Are your other 1570 posts as uninformed and idiotic as this one?

Hah! You silly Swede. There's no money to be had here. The only payment you'll get will be the ego boost thanks to countless n00bs registering new accounts just to say how much one out of the 50000 tracks is great. :\

And for the last time people, this isn't a REMIX project! Maybe ReMix was good enough for Hedgehog Heaven, but we're actually doing something that wont suck. So it's ARRANGEMENT COLLABORATION.

Hadyn you wondeful man. I just saw the project site and it looks fantastic! I'll get together with you later to work out some details and talk about some things we should add.

I made a major update on the front page. My apologies to you, Mike, for not telling you. This is something the project needs and it's time to step up the energy we got going in this thing.

Well, dude, you're one of the few who's actually... ummm, what's the word.... working? You've already gotten more stuff done than most people combined.

Well, I'm trying to get shit done on my end. Is it wrong of me to expect people to accept responsibility and get back to work on their own? I guess I gotta start being a prick now,

Also, if you're planning to record grand piano, you'll (at the extreme least) need a very good stereo overhead mic.

Well, I could have a studio for free if I already have one The point is that I don't think he has a $65,000 grand piano in his house. What I mean is that 20K while being a good sum of money, can be easily wasted on things you don't really need. Doing research is a very good way of finding out what you really need, and that way you might even realise that you won't need to spend all that money.

Hmmm, 15k-20k is not really enough to build a full studio, but you can get away with a great amateur home setup. It doesnt seem like you're looking to use a real drumset, so the time, money and frustration that goes into constructing a drum room and properly setting up a mic rig for it will not be an issue. You've got some good things on there, but what I'd recommend to you is to scratch Colossus, and instead stay with Komplete 3 and buy Drumkit From Hell Superior. I also recommend you got with as much ram as your machine can handle. And yeah, like stated above, go with a full 88 key controller, don't settle for less. Judging from your post, you seem to be putting most of your energy in the PC that you're gonna get with this, that's bad. You need to focus more on the way you're going to arrange everything in the room and determining what hardware will be absolutely necessary. Don't clutter the place up with useless crap you'll never need, and the same goes for the PC. There's no need to have an insane gaming PC to work on music. All you need is a decent enough video card, a ton of ram, good storage and LCDs. The main idea here is to create an environment where you can work smoothly and efficiently. And if you're going to work with acoustic recordings, you'll need to take alot of care in preparing a good area to record in. If the room is big, consider building specific "chambers" where you can record an acoustic guitar or vox without having to worry about room ambiance and other unwanted noise.

what do you do?

It's a secret to everybody

Not ignorance, Mike. I just know you well enough to be able to tell when you're lying, even in type.

Yeah, especially since he's lying about it

Heyo Larry. I'm just letting people have a bit of a break before I start hammering for final songs. I realise that it's around midterm-finals time in school (it is for me at least), so I dont wanna press too hard.

Well, like we said, KFC. As long as it takes. I don't know about everyone else, but I'm in the middle of mid-terms right now, and 12 hour school/work days make it really difficult to get any music recorded. So yeah, as long as it takes to get the best possibl product.

We're doing it for the fans, yes, but we don't owe it to them. There's a big difference between doing it cuz you want to and doing it cuz you have to. And I treat them with respect when they make an effort to actually talk to me instead of demanding answers.

Because on the off chance that the project is not released 'this year,' people will get pissed off at you. Hah, well, you're completely right. It's almost November and I'm still not thinking about releasing this bitch So yeah, as long as it takes!
