  1. i agree with this, completely. my fourth ocr submission was posted, as was my fifth. i had nine - count them, nine - rejections until my next posted mix, and that was over the course of four years during which i went from a one-trick wonder to a professional soundtrack composer. and i've still had mixes canned with frequency since becoming a composer. i still don't consider myself anywhere near a lot of the artists on this site, those of which also have rejections. i just got lucky with a job offer or two.
  2. screen magnifier might actually work. the reason i don't just adjust the screen res on my secondary monitor is because the widgets on that screen are set up in a specific way, and i don't want to re-arrange them every time i decide to kill some demons. again, i don't want a hotfix, i want a windows-based file extension that'll allow me to adjust the windowed resolution to exactly what i want it to be.
  3. meteo is another example of how i'm #21 on the team still, even though i don't fold on my own system and haven't for months. everyone i build a system for gets this on their computer, and they fold for me until they change the info. my little bonus =)
  4. i recently started playing diablo 2 again. fun game. the graphics are so painful, however, on a widescreen 1680x1050 monitor (soon to be a 27.5" 1920x1200 one), and alt-tabbing out of it to check emails and such is nigh impossible (old coding and all, i guess), so i've been playing it windowed. it's kind of small, though, in the standard window size, so i'd like to expand the size of the view slightly. d2, however doesn't support higher than 800x600 resolution, and you can't resize windowed games like you can other applications. i just want the next size up from 800x600 - 1024x768 would be ideal. does anyone know some windows-fu to augment the -window argument to allow for adjusted resolution? i'm assuming it's possible, i just have no idea how to do it. no one else on the intarwebz seems to know how to do it, either. edit: if this isn't possible, is it possible to assign the program to open (full-screen, not windowed) on a specific monitor other than my primary? i've got an HDTV that would work well, as well as a square 17" that doesn't amplify the glaring non-widescreen play.
  5. why, video games, of course =)

  6. i'm a d. bachelor's in music education, working on a master's in saxophone performance.
  7. hey, this dude's pretty cool. seriously creative influences flow through his brain. totally different from most of the cookie cutter remixes we get around here. he went to school with me. i touched his abe lincoln beard once.
  8. it would be simply for fun, really. my internal soundchip has six channels (or eight, don't remember which, but six is all that matter, right?). i've got true surround sound, fo sho. i'll have to sit down and play with it some more, i guess.
  9. live recordings, in general, aren't what i'm talking about. recording your electric guitar into your system where you're using guitar rig to do the distortion at the same time, that's what i'm talking about. that's when latency matters. when you record just normal stuff, latency doesn't mean anything.
  10. ugh, star ocean. after watching the first hour of cutscenes, i took the disc out and threw it across the room. it's still sitting there. this was a few months ago. honestly, how can a casting agency hire voice actors that are that bad? I'LL act for them, for half the cost, and i'll do just as bad of a job.
  11. i've said this before and i'll say it again - unless you're recording live audio straight in that's being effected by your system during the recording process, or using old or high-end MIDI-based controllers for your music, sound cards are useless. they don't do anything that your in-system chip already doesn't do. they don't reduce your cpu load significantly, they don't offer a significant improvement to your audio unless you're a headphone guy, and they don't really assist in anything that you can't get by just making sure you get a decent motherboard to begin with. they're just smoke and mirrors, living off their rep from ten years ago (when they were actually needed), kind of like NICs. unless you want to allow for 5.1 and your internal chip doesn't have the outputs, or are recording midi data or software-effected audio, soundcards are not necessary for a computer.
  12. no, that's Geoffrey Taucer here on the boards who sang that song. if you want to hear me, check out 'thieves of fate' in the radical dreamers project, and the hymn arrangement in my music page (linked in my sig).

  13. i think tweek knows what he's talking about, meteo. considering that this is his job and all.
  14. i was thinking more along the lines of synths like massive or blue, but i see what you mean. we could 'ok' synths for use, i guess, but your point is valid. again, i'm not really into compos as much. i might put together a project at some point based on this idea, but we'll see.
  15. you could, of course, allow any synth as long as it's the only one you used. that's what i'd do, at least.
  16. i'm really surprised your tv doesn't have that input.
  17. hey, we got moved to official projects again! thanks, darke.
  18. yep. gario suggested the idea to me, but i kind of went a different direction with our conversation. if you're interested, keep an eye around my threads posted in general some time in the next few months for something in this vein to pop up.
  19. there's a template in fl to do it but i have no idea how to make it work.
  20. oh, excellent. thanks, man.

  21. if you're talking about putting it in the playlist, you could set your playlist snap to beat, and you'll be able to paint in that patterns exactly (well, to the beat) where you want them by overlapping the pattern blocks. at least, if you're asking what i think you're asking, that's how i'd do it.
