yeah, reason 2.5 supports the length as well, as well as the tempo of the song. at least, i seem to remember it doing that. lemme qualify this by saying that i'm running 2.5. you've gotta make sure everything's installed and plugged in before you open reason. then you open it, go to preferences->MIDI. or Advanced MIDI, depending on how many instruments you're wiring in. then, just select the one that you're going to be using, and it'll start using that instrument. you've just got to make sure that the little midi symbol is next to the synth that you want to use in the sequencer box.

it's in the 'to be posted' section of the judges decisions. i say that we stop posting in this thread and instead post adulations of praise in the review thread when it gets posted =)

go ahead.

yoes, that's what i'm saying. please attempt to pick a song that isn't the same as everyone else, but don't let me restrict your choice.

you'd be surprised how easily some people manage to get banned, though. it's not accidental, but it's more just cause they flame constantly.

NICE

omg i haet you. seriously, if you're having problems with your mix, then just move onto a different song. there's more than enough different styles of songs on this project.

i'll be going home this weekend, so i will be back on a working connection...anyone going to be on?

thank you!

you can quantize it using the quantize tool in the piano roll. that's how i'd do it, really. just select ever thing and go to 'quantize...' in one of the piano roll menus. then just apply the same quant settings across the board.

basically. =)

And that is why, ideally, you don't rely on a single partition. Reformatting Windows becomes so routine that losing all of one's precious shit ceases to be a problem if you store it all on something other than C:\. You know, as long as the drive itself doesn't die. But that's why you then use a combination of optical media for backups and maybe even a second hard drive. Still though, multiple partitions FTW. As to the original problem, the "thinking light" is the HD access light (it'd be awesome to have a front gauge for CPU usage tho) and heavy HD access on startup is unsurprising for most Windows systems, especially those that haven't been reformatted in a while. My suggestions there are to defrag the drive, and either remove some things from startup, or just remove some things altogether. Even with 1GB of RAM (which is pretty much standard these days) HD thrashing will still occur, especially if you're loading a lot of stuff, and killing explorer.exe won't help because Windows Explorer doubles as the Windows shell. I also suggest replacing Task Manager with SysInternals Process Explorer (it's free), since Process Explorer is a much better tool for figuring out what could be causing a bottleneck in performance. EDIT: Or just use this to figure out wtf is causing the HD thrashing on startup. i said it DOESN'T do anything after it logs on - it just sits there, saying that windows is doing some really insanely powerful. i actually use process explorer. it still just lists explorer as automatically going up to 100% CPU load within a minute of it loading. i thought for sure it's gotta be some sort of virus because it never really did that in the past, and i'm only loading some five small applications on startup. i never run more than 44 processes at a time, according to the sysinternal tool, and only six of them are non-essential files. i ran that autoruns thing, and didn't notice anything strange in there. would you mind taking a look at it and telling me what you think of it?

lifestream is, by far, my favorite song in the game. i might do some sort of compilation thing. the ideas that lifestream has fit really nicely with the main theme, and i think that the main theme would fit nicely on a large set of saxophones. now, can i get the arrangement done fast enough to record before i go home on friday?

this isn't really an option. i have too much stuff on here that i'd not be able to back up without possibly just dumping the virus into my backed up stuff. i need to find some way to clean it straight up.

the only other problem now is i can't get a good connection anywhere for online gaming. i constantly lag out of everything, and the WOW kids seem to have a fine connection wherever they go. know any way to optimize my connection? i'm on a college line that's fine for gaming on Xbox and other stuff, but for some reason it doesn't work well with Guild Wars.

well, it'd be appreciated if you did.

ok, since i've not seen updates in a month, i'm canning Chavous and i'm seriously thinking about canning DrumUltimA. i've not even seen either of them in a month. PLEASE get me updates soon or else email me, or you're off the project. that said, we still need mixers who will finish their tracks!

i'm in.

have you looked at the front page of the website recently?

WIP DEADLINE

after jamming my system twice into a freeze, it finally got through about half my system in 3 hours. didn't really help. anyways, removing smitfraud seems to have fixed the cpu problem. now, i just need to figure out why it's opening all these pop ads (in both IE and firefox). adaware, spybot S&D, windows defender, and Norton don't find a thing.

i still am pissed that i can't go to this AND mag.

apparently, it's caused because of the only virus i can find on my computer...'smitfraud'.

definitely don't have the discs i need for it. i'm running windows defender and the malicious software tool that windows puts out right now, so we'll see what they say.

i'm running windows xp home edition with service pack 2, and i'm running norton antivirus/internet security. i did a super-scan in safe mode, and it only detected one thing - an adware thing called zangosearch which i've found before. i took it off, and restarted my computer, only to have it jump up to 100% cpu usage with explorer again. i'm currently locating some discs for the windows file protection utility now. this is SO annoying. i think it's causing my extreme lag when i play my mmorpg, as well, because i'm having trouble getting anything going lately with that either, and it's roughly mirrored the worsening of my computer's condition.
