several years ago, wasn't it? it's been like three and a half years now, right? cosmo canyon is one of my favorite tracks from FF7, and his remix of it is one of the best. the pixiekee song is awesome, as well.

sure, that'd be fine. the idea behind the rule is that people can't do a crossover where it's mostly the classical work with some, say, Sonic layered on top of it. it's the idea behind the rule that matters, more than the percentage. if the mix is nothing but classical music plus midi, it's still a midirip. you just stole the other stuff too.

if the drive is nonfunctional, wrap it in plastic, wrap it again in plastic, and stick it in the freezer for a few hours. unwrap it, ensure that there's no condensation on it, and i'll bet it'll function long enough to use DBAN or something similar on it. alternatively, hard drives that are toast make really cool fridge magnets, purse mirrors, and speakers =)

or the cord for the right speaker is damaged. is it one of those 2.1 setups where everything is connected to the left speaker, or everything to the woofer?

nope. but i usually manually map everything i do anyways, so it doesn't matter what DAW i use. a keyboard's a keyboard.

i use an axiom 49. i love it. you'll never use the midi, unless you're using the controller for an older midi-based synth that has no keyboard and midi in. usb is the way to go. depending on how portable you want it, and how much cash you've got, you can get a focusrite saffire pro 40 (8 xlr and 1/4" inputs, firewire based) for 450 used. that's what i'm using now, and it's brilliant. it's a rack-mount unit, though, so you'd want a small and portable rack or case to store it and all the cabling you'll have.

don't buy antivirus. either use Microsoft Security Essentials (free for windows owners, go to microsoft's website and download through there) or something like AVG (also free).

it's an upgrade. upgrades imply that you can trash your old computer and upgrade to a new one, in turn using an upgrade disc. or that you can upgrade your motherboard, which would break most OEM installations of windows (that were legally purchased by you), and then install w7 on the system. as long as you're not simultaneously using both the old and the new installations on separate computers, you are legally fine. irregardless of what M$ is saying, it works fine. there are occasional hitches, in which case you just install something else and then format and install windows clean on top of it. not too complicated.

i don't know what might cause that. like i said, i've done this on clean installations multiple times. go figure. i would be tempted to blame the MBR for allowing or dis-allowing it to be installed, but i've put it on new hard drives in old hardware, and it worked fine also.

i got a vibe, and i ran with it. that's usually how i work - i'll sit on it for two weeks, and then pound it out in half an hour.

my wife was dumbfounded by that comment. i'm hoping to get larry some content ASAP, so he can start tagging and all that.

last post of the day: i cleaned up the first post's information so that it's more accurate, and added an update at the bottom. i also sent a pm to larry today =) =) =)

hey, i finally got Facies Templum to render right with VSL (exported each individual instrument track two or three times, combined them into instrument groups, then rendered with sax and piano parts, total of about a hundred and thirty renders), so that's done, after five years. and, miku jumped in with his old mostly-finished piano rendition of Eagle Tower, so there's another bonus track! that gives us six now, total.

as of right now, the eighteen tracks that will comprise the album's release (not counting bonus tracks) put us over 80 minutes (by a minimal amount, which i'm working on fixing at the moment). adding in the final track, The Ballad of the Wind Fish, would require us to move to a two-CD format. because of this issue, i'll be dropping this track. it's still covered in the other tracks, so it's not like it just doesn't exist or something. i'm hoping theophany can condense some content from his 7+ minute arrangement of Tail Cave. if he can drop that length back to around five minutes, we'll be good for a one-disc release. also, mustin sent me a track that doesn't fit our stylistic requirements but is pretty darn awesome a while back. he's agreed to try and finish the mastering he wants to do on it before we release, so we can include it as a bonus track.

yes, nabeel. that's what i did. if you go to a big state school, you can get it through their tech exchange program for 8$, and it'll work, too. stevo, i guess the big bolded font up top wasn't clear enough. it's not a work-around. it really just works out-of-the-box, a clean install on a blank hard drive on a new computer with the upgrade disc. it's worth noting that an OEM copy can't be reinstalled - the key only validates one computer. the upgrade version can be revalidated as much as possible, since you bought a full version of the OS.

because they can't do an in-windows update from xp to w7 due to the complete difference in the architecture of them, and they can't do an upgrade from one version of windows to another (say, home to pro) without including all extra content initially and just locking it (making it easy to pirate).

so, i wrote an arrangement of catfish's maw today. turned out pretty good, for two hours of work, particularly considering how gawd-awful the original is. so we're down to one track still left.

did you actually read anything in this thread? seriously, dude, i answered your question in the post immediately prior to your question. maybe if you stopped making stupid threads and read something for once...? neblix, same to you. as i stated before, you can do a full, original install on any system with windows-compatible hardware with a windows 7 upgrade disc. if you've already got stuff on the system, the installer will give you the option of formatting your drive with the old OS on it. if you've got the SAME version of vista as you do w7, you can do the windows-based installer (like, vista pro to w7 pro). in ANY other circumstance, you MUST install w7 with the boot installer by booting to the disc. you MUST have backed up all of your files before doing this.

it started before pokemon. you never know, it might. we're really close.

neither can i =) we're really trucking along. got an update on the last two WiPs today, and i'll be finishing off those last two tracks soon. yay!

holy crap, i can't believe you actually still had this =) and you got my visitor message, too (your pm box was mega-full). yay! this means that, as of right now, the only track we don't have in lossless is chth's older track (computer got run over, apparently) from the second Age of Aetherius. this is awesome!

i edited the first post, as well. keep me updated, so i can take it down once you've sold it. consoles sell faster than games and merch, i've found.
