prophetik music   Judges ⚖️

hot SHIT, jeremy, i didn't know that your promotion was THAT big. congrats, my man, i'll miss bantering with you at cons.

thanks, man =) i consider this style of music - jazz-influenced, groove bias stuff - to be my most natural style, so this was fun to do.

zircon, that palm mute thing is awesome =) i really need to start exploring this program some more.

i can't believe i just listened to justin bieber for 35 minutes. this is absolutely AWESOME.

there's a lot of people where this type of thing hits home. it's similar to the mosque that's proposed for right next to the 9/11 site - some people view the ability to play as a Taliban fighter (even if it's just a player model) killing Americans as bad. it's the same reason that Germany nixed any WWII or game with Nazis as bad guys - there's too much history there, too many people who died to them.

the drives have to be exactly the same, and i'm fairly sure you'll have to flash the firmware from your old drive onto the new one, required either a computer with an addon VIA 6421 SATA card or a motherboard based on the nForce chipsets or certain VIA chipsets. i only know how to flash BenQ (falcon consoles) drives - hitachi (second-gen) and samsung (launch models) are beyond my knowledge, but they're supposedly modifiable. lite-on drives, with jasper 360s, require minor surgery (read: soldering) on the drive itself to allow it to recieve other firmwares. this route shouldn't ban your xbox, since you're not accessing the net with customized firmware. long story? you can get used jasper 360s on ebay for under a hundred dollars. they don't come with hard drives, but they do have controllers and cords. just make sure it's a jasper, and it hasn't been banned. that's the route i'd take. if you've got a system that's not under warranty, it's not a jasper system anyways (back sticker says 12.1v instead of 14.2v or something else similar). jasper power bricks are plastic as well.

as in good.

you could probably just contact them about it.

well, now that the due date is approaching, i suppose i should finish my first track, from five years ago working on VSL-ing the orchestral background (which were first Reason strings, then Edirol strings, winds and brass) now. VSL sounds ridiculous, but it's so hard to use when you don't have a dedicated setup for it.

done. i wish i had 400$ =(

i'm about to submit mine (hey, OA, tell me how i did!). huzzah!

check your pm boxes, people - we need bios, filehosts, and .wav files in the ftp. i'm so excited about this project being almost done!

put it up in the want section.

just got finals from Lashmush and redshojin, and a wip from sloopygoop! we're really progressing.

as far as i can see, none of their stuff are multithreadable. so, yeah, you'll max out just about anything if you don't have a good initial clock speed.

hi mike, sure thing BRAD

like kanthos said, you'll have to set it as your audio device within your sequencer.

i picked this up for as much as i had available now (being jobless). next paycheck i get i'm going to throw some more money at them, because this is a great deal =)

firewire is a basic port like USB, but it runs with a different protocol and is incompatible with USB. i'm assuming that your m-box plugs in there (make sure your m-box is OFF when you unplug it or plug it in! you can't hot-plug firewire, ever!), and then you just use it as an audio driver.

updated. been a while since i said that =)

there's a ton of value on the low end, and a ton of power and customizability on the high end, but there's still a minimum of quality systems in the 700-1200 ranges. that's where probably 90% of my systems usually sit.

agragragragra ANGRY edit: cool story, got two or three more interested parties at all ends of the pricing spectrum. looks like business is going to be picking up a bit.

of course i read them, man. you're so busy trying to sound like you know what you're talking about that you're missing the original point - that, while it can't run the newest, most graphically demanding game on the market right now, budget cards like the 8400GS have an important niche in the market. did kevin buy the right card for his setup? nope. does that make the 8400GS a terrible card? nope. they're great for people who want to give their IGP motherboards the ability to play some basic games without spending more than, like 40$. what kevin should have done is go review Tom's Hardware. they write an article every other month or so and rate what's the best gaming cards for 50, 70, 90, 125, and etc. he probably just didn't know about it yet. if you're still offended that i called you a dumb 14-year-old with no practical experience in the field of computer hardware a few months ago, you're not doing anything to change my mind =)

you don't have to run games on max to enjoy them? i'm talking about games, in general. buying an 8400 wasn't a good idea for that game, but it's a capable card that does a lot. there's a common misconception that a graphics card is required to do anything at all with a computer. actually, gfx cards are ONLY for gaming and the like. so, even the most basic card is a huge increase over integrated graphics, and makes a big difference in performance. the 8400 isn't the even the most basic card available. dhsu, it really does. a game with a huge draw distance, like a Fallout 3/Far Cry 2 style game, will always struggle with something like that. a game with a limited amount of visual requirements, like Alien Swarm, wouldn't have too much of a problem with higher settings.
