he wants to learn the software without theory knowledge. doable, but pointless. give him musical knowledge and the software will come in time from fiddling with it.

music theory - if you want to learn it, look at musictheory.net. or just google it - there's a billion websites out there (literally) that have info on introductory theory.

www.musictheory.net would be a fantastic resource for you, then. seriously. go through the lessons, ask questions about them here.

this is pretty true. it's also known as 'just business'. you can't fault them for wanting to reduce piracy and continue to milk the market down the line like they can for consoles and all that.

hey, man, chill the fuck out. you don't need to go hog-wild on everyone posting in this thread. i play games like l4d and COD4 on pc rather than consoles for the same reason - i prefer to dick around with mods more than actually try to win the match. i prefer servers in those situations. i don't prefer playing against a community of arrogant assholes - and for that, i'm awaiting MW2's online play with bated breath. if matchmaking isn't horribly broken out of the box, i'll be happy. that's all i'm asking for. would it be nice to have dedicated servers? sure! IW doesn't want them. i'm sure that someone's going to hack it and make one soon enough after the game comes out. you need to just calm down and exercise some patience.

i understand where people would have an issue, but i agree with most of the commentary - as a casual player, i had trouble finding a place where i wouldn't just get yelled at for not having immediate and intimate knowledge of a new map that had recently come out. GI's journalism is properly sarcastic, considering the waves of idiotic petitions coming from the PC gamers world lately - the complaint about L4D2's imminent release and that Valve (probably the best player's company around for game production) didn't give them enough free shit to justify the purchase of a game those gamers spend hundreds of hours playing, the petition for starcraft to be more 16-bit and less modern graphics, the petition for diablo 3 to be...god, i don't even know, something's apparently wrong with the color scheme? what a load of stupid shit. don't you think that they'd update the color scheme after eight or ten years of visual upgrading? get the picture? ten thousand petitions is nothing. not to mention two-thirds of those people will just pirate the damn thing. there's a reason D2 still gets sales in spite of huge piracy - you need a real key for use online. MW2 will have nothing but beneficial results from this.

hey, dude, i can't help you if i don't know what you need. if you don't even speak the language - if you haven't even googled some basic search terms - then how can we help you? also, regardless of what you make - it's music. it's just a matter of what kind of music. if you're trying to write techno and you compose something akin to beethoven's fifth, is that crappy techno? if you're already angry at the entire community - which is, frankly, probably the nicest community i've found online - after we actually did try to help you instead of ignoring or insulting you, you're screwed, man

your sig is fantastic. that's what more people should do around here =) welcome!

thanks for the nice words, eino!

wow, 20 bucks is nice for that monitor. just go the manufacturer's route - don't risk ebay for PSUs. i've been burned - literally - several times.

you bought it new and the psu is dead? isn't it under warranty?

james, i'd be happy to put your music into my setup and make some more realistic-sounding material. i've send you a PM - check your inbox. edit: meteo, you really can be an ass. the guy's got thirty posts in two and a half years. give him a break and don't just post in a thread to post in it. if you've got a problem with BGC, that's what PMs are for. don't derail the thread.

again, you're too broad, dude. how to create music from scratch? what kind of music? what length? using fl's included stuff, or plugins, or what? you need to know what you want before you can find it - first rule of research. take a song and make a mix - i'm assuming you mean rearranging it for remixing. do you know any theory? can you read music? that's your basic idea, there - listen to the song you want to arrange, decide on what you want to do to it (slow it down, change the meter or key, add instruments and harmonies...), and then do it. same thing - you need to know what you want before you can just dive in. how to use the program to its fullest? keep trying, dude =)

rama had a half-done version of her at some point with a big black box over the goods. i totally pm'd him about it and everything

i spelled it wrong. tuvan singers are a totally different harmonic basis than normal singing, so no, autotuned stuff can't do it. maybe delay llama, but that's more synthy. where's it from? i'm really curious now.

i kind of want the sidebar back, i liked using it for navigation purposes. maybe a setting in the user CP to disable or enable it?

hi, i got a baby. how do i take care of it? you'll get approximately the same amount of useless answers to both questions, because they're such broad questions. got anything specific?

i love omnisphere a LOT. the tuvan throat singers are fantastic, and the variety of choral and percussive elements are so much fun to play with. where'd you find the taiko/orchestral tom samples? edit: tuban /= tuvan

whoa, john revorendo and prometheus are the same guy? that'd explain why i've not really heard of him but love his stuff.

get the western digital caviar black model, preferably a sata. it's an awesome drive - i've got two.

i can guarantee you it's not under warranty at the moment - at least, your data isn't. just buy a new external case for twenty bucks and slap the new drive in. make sure you know what kind of case to buy, first, but it can't be that complicated.

oh, i totally will. i'm not really ocd about anything else, but i like an organized workspace where everything can be swapped out and adjusted when needed.

they're lossless, so yes, they're that big. looking forward to finally listening to the whole thing. huzzah, shaun! edit: who did the website? oa? it's bloody fantastic. love the popup song info. really well-designed, from a graphics standpoint.

sounds like the drive's dead. it might, however, just be the case that crapped out. try taking the hard drive out and sticking it into another case (or your desktop) and seeing what happens.
