More like, is there ever a show that "I" don't call into? I think Joe has me beat though. And he's more entertaining anyway.

I'll cheer you up bladiator. [zip]

Here's a suggestion Larry. MY NAME IS...JENNIFER!

No Larry yet, but many of us were able to connect to ETG. Took a little while though.

Hope you got the bumper Larry.

Larry, check you PM. I made you a bumper for the show.

Crap, now I won't be able to listen to the show at all. Monday is sign off day for me, so I'm at work at 3 until 1:30 AM. Blah.

Awesome. I get to miss most of the show no matter what. I work 6am to 4pm CST.

And Fargo is a little bit worse than everywhere else...(maybe?) Some serious wind here, that's for sure. Nothing like dodging snowdrifts and not being able to see the road with all the snow blowing over it. Oh and the ice is fun too. Never seems to go away. Hello antilock.

Arr, and I wasn't even able to start making my bumper for the show yet. Ah well. Hopefully I'll be able to get it done for next weekend. Oh, and Larry, were you going to play any of the OVGMC2 entries in this show?

Damn, I really DID say that. Crazy kid...

Someone should tell that Flik character that he was pretty boring and shouldn't share hellish stories of his job. [looks over at return feed from main transmitter] ...Don't..EVEN....

I think I remember how to adjust the mapping issues, but I don't have time to open Reason right now as I gotta make a trip back to my parent's house for tonight and won't have my workstation. However, if you want a fatter sound, try sticking a Unison module on whatever synth you're using. The results won't always be good, but you can get some real phat sounds with it at times. Just mess with the detune a bit as well as the other settings. Fun stuff. Stick it on a piano patch and you'll have old timey piano fun!

Wah! I totally overlooked that question. The easiest thing you can do is what Arcana mentioned. Copy and paste can be wierd in Reason at times though. If you copied a sequencer track and then tried to paste it on the track below it'll usually just paste it back to the track you copied it from. I've had to copy the track, drag the original down to the line I wanted to paste to, and then paste the original back on the line I copied from. Retarded? Yes. As for controlling multiple modules with your MIDI controller I'm still trying to figure that out myself. There may be a way to do it with the extra MIDI busses and possibly remote keyboard/MIDI mapping, but I haven't gotten into that stuff yet. I used to run multiple controllers on single modules though. My main controller for keys, and a MIDI data box to control all of the module settings. I'll see if I can mess around with things a bit more sometime to try and figure these things out. I was experimenting a little while ago with using a Matrix sequencer to feed a CV splitter which would it turn send control signals to multiple modules. It worked in the sense that the Matrix would operate them when the Matrix itself was programmed, but when I tried to program a keylane for the Matrix it wouldn't trigger. I may mess with that more later.

Well, you can always use one NN-XT module and output it to several inputs on the mixer and spread them out. Open an NN-XT. Put a spider audio splitter/merger under it. Flip the rack over and patch the NN-XT into the input for the splitter (should be the right side of the back of the spider module). Then take the four outputs and patch them to four inputs on the mixer. Pan then out seperatly from each other and lower the input volumes a little since it'll overdrive the audio. That should give a fuller sound. You can try other experiments with that idea as well. Stick a Scream 4 between the NN-XT and the spider module, set it to tape, lower the damage to the next line under half, turn the speed most of the way up, push up the compression a little, and then adjust the EQ as needed (remember to turn it on). This will vastly liven up the sound of the instrument. Hopefully you'll be able to achieve what you'd like. EDIT: Also, to avoid taking up space on your main mixer(s), make a seperate mixer for the split NN-XT signals. You could then for example take three NN-XT's, split each of them into four outputs (on up to however many a mixer will handle), put seperate effects on for that mixer, and then take the master output off that mixer and stick it onto a single input on one of your master mixers. Just an idea, but it would probably help keep things organized more.

You're browsing for sampler patches, not samples. Open up NN-19 once, right click on the keyboard in the display and select "browse samples" and not "browse sampler patches."

First make sure your audio settings are right in the preferences. Keep in mind the master output isn't the only main volume control. You still have the volume output on the instrument module itself as well as its input on the mixer. If you have all three of those maxed out and it still is quiet, then you may have a volume level on your sound card too low. If those are maxed out, then maybe you're monitoring your audio too low and it just sounds quiet when it isn't. If you want to cheat, stick a Scream4 between the mixer and your master outputs, set it to "Tape", adjust compression and drive the output up.

RedDrum, NN-XT, and NN-19 will accept wave files, aiff files, and sf2 soundfont files.

Speaking of the webstream, I'm amazed that the video and audio were in SYNC, and realtime. Hopefully I have sign on shift at work next weekend so I can tune into the show again.

Yeah, I know Dale in real life. Stayed at his house several times even. And you could just ask him yourself on the music he has planned. I know he's working on a lot of personal projects, but just come on over to the OUS site sometime and ask him on the message board.

Dale IS amazing. Just watching him play totally changes the mood. And you'll meet him someday for sure. He's a great guy, and fun to be around. And this mix amazed me a long time ago, and still does any time I listen to it.

That was excellent! Suikoden was one of my favorite games (and the only one that ever made me complete it in one weekend because it rocked so much), and this tune brought back good memories. I have always wanted to remix some tunes from it, but I'm not really good at anything, so I didn't. Awesome job. Definatly a keeper.

The intro was just a random thing I did. Some people liked it, some obviously didn't. If you enjoyed the music then that's what matters.

Yep, I remember that skit. However I was not thinking of it when I made the intro. I was just being myself Glad you liked it.

Thanks for the comments for guys. And Prot, I had originally planned to have much more in the mix. I didn't want to purely use Reason instruments, but due to my buddy who was going to do the real guitar tracks backing out I was pretty much stuck with what I had. I had originally planned for the track to sorta rock out a bit at the end with some electric guitar and some real percussion (never got my drums back so that's my fault), but hey...can't always get what I want. I hope whoever likes the mix likes it for what it is.
