I gawsh... I'll be able to go as long as I can borrow my mom's car (The Elantra I took to MAGFest, if anybody rode with me anywhere). She doesn't work that weekend, so it should be good...

technical problem: Bad key.

Not only is is HUEG, but Infrared is misspelled.

I have a camera as well (It's very similar, if not the same as q-pa's) Takes good stills and decent video: http://www.escariot.net/DC_VGL/ That's what I took with it. Also, I was just in Baltimore this past weekend with some family. Checked out Body World, which is creepy as hell...

RE: Cable length - I use the 10' extension with the 6' cable. Works fine. Also of note: It DOES in fact work with USB 1.1 Another note: I didn't know you were in Sweden.

Well, the mic has it's own kinda built-in pop filter. I have trouble making it hiss without the pop filter, but a kit is usually the best way to go. This is what I ordered: http://cgi.ebay.com/Deluxe-Samson-CO1U-Podcast-PAK-KIT-USB-C01U-Microphone_W0QQitemZ320225343831QQihZ011QQcategoryZ133012QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It shipped quickly, got here in the number of pieces it was supposed to, and works like awesome. RE: Noise. It is, of course, best to get a quiet room. (I will usually take my mic upstairs and plug it into my laptop to record)

It's fairly good at noise reduction, and also very good at picking things up. For example, if I almost kill the thing, and someone is quietly watching TV, and I record, and crank up the amp, I can clearly hear the TV... Takes a bit of level adjusting, but those are both recorded with my noisy desktop running in the background

ARRANGEMENT / INTERPRETATION [X] Too conservative - sticks too close to the source PRODUCTION [X] Drums have no energy PERSONAL COMMENTS (positive feedback, specifics on checklist criticisms, any other thoughts) I don't like the sound you have for your guitar... I agree that you need a bit more low end... You could also pick the pace up a bit... Not much along the lines of a lead line in the orchestral part leading up to the guitar, so that might be something to look into. Doesn't sound like you're making the most of your horns... Also, look into your drums... Needs better writing and lacks energy.

Well, one of you answer your PMs

A quick beatbox that I had: http://www.escariot.net/burp.mp3 Quick barbershop Multi-track: http://www.escariot.net/music/barbershop/Waiting.mp3

I'll second this. And actually, it was zircon that recommended this mic to me, since it is the same on that pixietricks uses.

Score! That's the second person that's mentioned my name and their probable attendance in this thread...

Yeah, Ridgway, the closest thing to it that resembles civilization is DuBois... I just couldn't believe that they didn't take credit cards anywhere...

Does anybody else think he sounds like Kroze?

Heh... And of course, "That's how he says 'I love you'." For anyone who plans to buy a comp from this man... Clean out your case of the giant dust bunnies, because if you don't, he will be like "I'm not touching that! YOU clean it up!" And it was cleaned out like... 3 times in those 5 years...

Wow... Got my computer built today, and I must say... It runs like sex. Many thanks to Brad for driving 2:30 hours or so (Which we met halfway, I live another 2:30 past that) to build the comp. Everything works, which is a plus... I feel we should send a thank-you note to that Subway for being a good sport about us raiding their power.

Whoa... Not really a fan of the new vocoded melody... Nor am I a fan of the sound you got from your vocoder

Too late... It was more a joke than anything... Two OCR people were meeting up... So I called it a meetup... Also to see if anybody would call me to see where we were meeting up... All we did was get my computer built, raided Subway's power plugs, and tested it...

Heh... Prophet built a computer for me... Was going to drive 4 hours down to my place until he had a revelation this morning that we meet in the middle... My girlfriend also went, I forgot to mention... But yah... New comp yey

So yeah.. small-scale OCR meetup at Ridgway, PA. Where: Ridgway, PA... Not much there, but meh... When: Today: ~12:30PM - 1:30PM. Who is attending: - Escariot - the prophet of mephisto c-ya~!

Uh... Doug! When you get back from rehearsal, put me down as a tentative yes.

Conglaturation!

Happy +1, you old bag... What are you now? 32? Yeah... You're old... but have a good one... [iNSERT HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAG HERE]

Compo failed. No entries, no hype. This is now going to be done on a "per motivation" basis. pCe.

Oy... May 3rd is after my last week of classes, which means it's the weekend before finals week. I'll see what I can work out. As of now, I'm a maybe
