Bah! The is better.

Next time this happnes, don't immediately blow the whistle; let's take some time to fuck with the culprit's head first.

So there's no way to set it up so that to motif recieves signals both from the keyboard and the computer? EDIT: by the way, figured out why it isn't making any sound, and now that I have that fixed, I fucking love this thing already

But what if I want to send a signal from the computer to the motif? Also, I can't seem to get any sound out of the motif. I know it's recieving a midi signal, because there's a light that blinks whenever I hit a key or do anything else that should send a midi signal. I know it's hooked up to the mixer properly, because there's an audio spike when I turn the motif on. But I'm not hearing anything else from it.

I just acquired a motif rack. What's the best way to set this up? There are three things I need to have connected: the motif, a midi controller, and my soundcard. Soundcard has midi in and out, and the keyboard and the motif both have midi in, out, and thru.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Soon to be added to my setup: A Motif.

Oooooh, man, I heard this as a wip, and knew it would be great. Very beautiful (if a bit slow). Guitars are well done, vocals are beautiful. Percussion is brilliant. Overall, very beautiful mix.

Most important part of getting started: don't expect to be awesome in a day. Or a week. Or a month. It takes time and practice to get good at this, and I guarantee your early attempts at remixing will suck. Don't get discouraged, keep at it, and accept criticism.

Oh, man, looked these guys up after you mentioned them, and they're great! Looks like I'm gonna have to buy all their CDs...

Ohhhhhhh, man. I love this. Very very well done.

Holy shit! This is fucking cool! Asian instrumentation sounds awesome. Flawlessly executed, sounds very authentic. All of it sounds real. I would have loved to hear more development of the asian vibe but what's there is absolutely brilliant. Aah, yes, and then the guitars, just as well done. Great playing, great choice of tones, awesome arrangement. The wah solo is positively orgasmic. This will definitely go among my all-time favorites. I have but one complaint: the ending sucks. Horribly. Sounds like the mixer just lost interest and said "I'm bored, so I'll end it here"

You're older than you've ever been And now you're even older And now you're even older And now you're even older... Happy birthday.

Huzzah! We missed you, Shariq

http://h.xerol.org/f.php?f=446 It's only 30 seconds long right now, but it will of course be longer when I'm done. Hopefully one of my girls will be using this as floor routine music this year.

The source is one of my all-time favorite songs. THis is definitely an interesting take on it. Sort of a laid back piano/guitar jazz thang; I'm definitely digging it. I'd make the guitar a bit quieter and add a touch more reverb; right now it sounds like the guitar amp is right next to my ear, while the piano is in the next room. Noticable mistakes on the guitar at 1:35 and 1:43, but I assume you already knew about those. As far as production goes, it's difficult to tell what's intentional and what's not; the piano is really bright and the guitar really dull, but to a certian extent that works with the style. The whole thing is very minimalist and my first impulse is to say that it needs bass, light percussion, and perhaps pads of some sort, but again, the minimalism sort of fits with the style, and adding other instruments could well destroy the charm that makes this mix so captivating. I think it could do with some more movement earlier in the piece. It's very slow and laid back, but that gets old quickly without any spice. This could work as just a guitar/piano duet, but you'll need to do a bit more to keep it interesting. It sounds like between guitar and piano, piano is your forte (forgive the pun), so I'd focus on spicing that up a bit. I'd love to see the piano take center stage at some point in the mix with the guitar sinking into the background; perhaps this could be done in the next section (I assume you were planning on making this longer than it is now). There are a few points where the chords on the piano sounded a bit wierd to me, but I don't know enough theory to say why they sounded wierd or how to fix it, and it may well be intentional anyway. I'd say for a first mix, you're off to a very good start.

DrumUltimA's mom did the strings for his cavestory mix -- does that count?

Just got back from a Melee tourney, definitely the biggest one I've been to so far. Got a chance to play chudat -- his climbers 4-stocked my doc (my main) in about 2 minutes.

By "center of the speaker," do you mean aimed at the center of the cone or at the center between the two cones? (It's a 2x10)

The drumloop, as near as I can tell, is identical. I could be wrong about some of it, but I'm positive the snare is the same sample. Interesting.

... ... This is the most pathetic, awful, revolting, nauseatingly bad pun I have ever heard, and you deserve to have you head shoved in a toilet for it. Anyway, this mix is awesome. I was hoping I'd be the first one tog et a Pokemon mix passed, but oh well; this certainly does not dissappoint.

What's the best way to record an electric guitar amp such that it keeps the punch and smoothness intact? I'm using a Kendrick 2210 combo amp (a clone of the '59 fender bassman) and it sounds absolutely beautiful to my bare ears, but when I stick an SM57 in front of it, the recording comes out completely dead, overly crunchy and harsh, and completely devoid of the smooth, rich punch that makes this amp so awesome. I have two condensers (rode NT1A) and one dynamic (Shure SM57) available. What's the best way to record an amp with any or all of these mics?
