sorry jade

slime on slime is super classy, i love it too =)

brandon, you probably have a 32-bit OS. it can only use up to around 4gb of ram.

goat simulator dx: chumpionship edition what a save

controller, just use an xbox controller on PC. it's pretty fun and still on-sale for 14$ till tomorrow.

ordered my stuff, should be there in a week or two. i did amazon since shipping costs a lot if you buy individually, but i got a good variety of things. i tried to get things that my match wouldn't have gotten on their own, so we'll see how it goes =)

double poast time! i still have just cause 3 for sale, but i sorta accidentally ordered two xbox ones over the weekend. so, if anyone wants a gears of war xbox one bundle for the 300$ i paid for it, or around there, let me know, and it's yours.

got my matchup, some intriguing ideas on their wishlist. i wanted to make it interesting this year since i had a bit of cash to spend, and i definitely think i'll be able to do that =D

thanks for the backups, guys =P zircon, is your setup all unique drives or are they in some form of raid setup? with EVOs being so incredibly cheap i understand the changeover but i'm curious how you've got them connected. also my next upgrade's going to be an M2 ssd. i haven't played with one yet, but man, the raw numbers are bananas.

the main benefit of having an ssd is that it is by far the best upgrade you can make to any computer, regardless of setup, for raw performance gain. just the better performance of the OS makes it worth it. no one uses an ssd and goes back to platter for their OS drive. nothing compares to the performance gain an SSD gives a desktop. someone else back me up here...i can't imagine anyone who has one wouldn't recommend it to others. it'd still be worth putting omnisphere on the ssd even if it takes up some space, solely because omnisphere is really annoying when you try to put the sample files elsewhere from your actual vst file.

i have a copy of Just Cause 3 for sale. give me a good offer and it's yours.

it is a waste to buy three small platter drives instead of an SSD and a single larger drive. for the 170 you are paying for those three, you could buy a 250gb SSD like the 850 EVO and still afford a 2tb WD caviar black. You don't get quite the throughput from the storage drives, but the SSD is so much better. no contest.

this isn't a deal thread. this is for stuff you're selling.

next week around this time i'll have a copy of FO4 for the xbox one. if anyone's interested let me know what you want to pay for it. don't know if it'll be a code or physical copy.

if you want an xbox one, there's a sale on thanksgiving starting at 6pm that dell's doing where you get an xbone 500gb, the Gears of War collection, an extra controller, and Fallout 4, for 300$. the gow xbox bundle normally costs 350, so this is 50$ off plus about 100$ worth of stuff. i'll be buying that. i'm playing fo4 on pc already, so i don't really need that for the box, but i can sell it for cash for close to what it's worth in-stores. it'd be worth it even without that game, honestly. also, it's online only, so no stores required. gonna need to find copies of the master chief collection and halo 5 now.

nice, let me know when you do it and i'll try to help out where i can. re: cases, if you don't care about size, the HAF 9XX models (912, 922, 932) tend to be pretty nice for their cost. i was really impressed with the last one i encountered. they have big fans, and cooler master makes them quiet to begin with. i didn't even bother putting yate loons on them since they were pretty quiet already. yeah neblix, now that the storm scout's gone, my go-to is missing =( i loved that case, but my new one (carbide air 540) is better for what i needed now. it's better to work with a clean slate for windows in general than do an upgrade if you can avoid it.

i recommended w7 since it's the last one i've got extensive experience on. i use w10 for my gaming system, and it's all right, but there's some wonk there that i'm not a huge fan of. w7's still the most widely supported OS at this point, so i don't see a reason to go for 10 yet unless the alternative is a version of 8 - in other words, buying new should be 10, building or buying old should be 7, at least right now.

i'm heeeeeeere! neblix shot me a pm pointing out that i have info for people who need it =) in short, if you're willing to spend 700 or 800 bucks, build your own, or have someone do it for you. you'll get roughly the same numbers for your CPU and RAM, but you'll get *way* better quality in the mobo, PSU, etc. that's the parts that let the system run for years and years without a hiccup. the primary difference between these two machines is the discrete card in the dell, along with the dell having bluetooth, and the xps name itself (which is still a pretty respected name in big-box machines, dell dude aside). i would disagree that either'd be able to handle a big session, though, as 8gb is not much when you get into bigger sample sets. i can max out 8gb pretty easy doing any orchestral track, and the last time i did a rock track i ran that over pretty fast too with a few instances of guitars and the drums. building a computer is rarely more expensive for the same level of quality (it's usually vastly cheaper). W10 is not the daw i'd be using right now (W7 is, still, although from a perspective of W8 vs W10 I'd go with 10). having an external audio interface is super nice (i had a saffire pro 40 when i was doing a lot of mixing), but not required. i disagree with virtually everything supercoolmike said - sorry, i think you're still super cool =( RAM is one of the most important things at allowing your system to scale to bigger projects, arguably even more than CPU since you can always bounce tracks to wav and just load them after you've got them iced. additionally, raw straight-line speed on a cpu isn't as important as a good multicore setup, although this is less of an issue nowadays with everything being quad at a cheap price point. the thing is, RAM's cheap enough that you can just drop in piles of it and it doesn't matter. the cpu's the thing that's hard to upgrade if you don't plan ahead with your choice and what is offered in the slot you pick. here's my requirements for a good mixing pc: -discrete OS drive -8gb ram *minimum*. buy it in 8gb sticks so that you can expand easily...the bonus in speed from dual-channel 4gb sticks ain't worth it for the loss in potential slot use -big quad for the CPU. plan on spending as much money up-front on this so that you don't have to upgrade later -a good cpu cooler, since you're going to stretch the cpu most of the time newegg's site's having an issue right now with searching for components, but if i was spitballing it, this's what i'd see. cpu: i7-4790, 310$ (might as well pick what those machines you looked at had). 30$ more gives you a 4ghz cpu with an unlocked multiplier. cpu cooler: hyper 212 evo is my go-to, 35$ case: cheap micro-ATX like the tx-381, 40$. and a sweet handle, too! =D mobo: H81-based micro ATX mobo, 75$ range psu: corsair CX500, 45$ ram: 40$ for 8gb is standard os drive: either a samsung evo or a kingston v300 (evo for performance, v300 for cost), roughly 120gb is good for an OS drive on a pure music machine. figure 80$ for the evo or 50$ for the v300 sample drive: 1-2tb internal drive - i only buy WD, usually a Black model. 70$ for the 1tb and 120$ for the 2tb. going with the v300 and the 1tb internal, and 8gb of RAM, that's 665 or so for the parts for a machine that's got waaaay higher quality parts in it than those bigbox versions, and it's got a lot more features (like the aftermarket CPU cooler, the OS drive, and a better sample drive). you'll just need a flash-drive with the windows install disc on it is all, or drop another 20$ for a dvd burner. if you want to talk specifics for a custom system, ping me and we can chat. i can just about always make a system work for a good price.

i pm'd baha to let me know ages ago when this was posted so i don't forget again. looking forward to participating. edit: i may or may not have looked through last year's list to figure out what to ask for, since i'm terrible at that crap =P

this is sort of the most basic form. or, are you looking for an enclosed case to actually display the vinyl itself?

gotta keep it going =P this track is super great! i love the care taken with each part, and how to make them intertwine.

bardic and his brother play quite a bit. i've joined occasionally but am not particularly far along in the game. i like the characters that are just huge stunbots, they're pretty fun. i'll post a number when i get back home.

i sorta forgot about it, several times but i think i showed it to you back in 2012 when i first started it!

haha those strings and timpani =P

you mean, like every composer ever has done?
