Luke, I'm not going to get tricked into looking at your porno site again.

ahh not like this had any impact on my decision or anything, but it basically seems to me like just another version of the "outbreak" achievement. whoopidee doo. lol, true. *EDIT* Oh hey, pretty good news for Aussies, it seems Valve has an edited version of L4D specifically for them. I mean, it's a compromise, but hey, better than nothing, right? http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=25571

What do they mean, in-game baseball bat anyway? I thought that was already going to be one of the melee weapons?

Powerlord won the race boys, sorry. All my gifts have been sent.

Cool, if you're good to go, just paypal $33.75 to biggiantcircles (at) gmail.com, and then shoot me a PM of your email or something so I can send you the gift.

Well, the same could really be said about any plugin or library. Funny enough, I don't recall anyone saying presets were bad when we were discussing Omnisphere. Rather, they were excited about the new possibilities in their music and excited that doors were being opened that previously would have been either impossible or extremely difficult to do otherwise.

Hahaha How so?

Aight, so I'll take DS. Need one more and I'll buy. *EDIT* Nevermind, I went ahead and bought. Sent DS and my other friend theirs already. First volunteer with the monies gets picked.

ah, the fee garbage is what I was worried about. I didn't know you could do that. Sweetness.

All valid points. But man, I am such a sucker for new gear... It's my own form of crack, I suppose. But yeah, the only reason I wouldn't be snagging this straight off is because I still haven't delved as deeply into Omni and Evolve as I feel I should. Also, lol about the music purists/elitists

Aight, so Wes, do you have your group figured out? I'll probably go ahead and buy one of the packs by the end of the day. It's me and a friend, so I have 2 slots. I know I said let the "captains" pick, but do I have 2 people who are good for $35 each right now?

Just saw this today - http://www.samplelogic.com/morphestra.html One one hand, it looks like a cross between Omnisphere and Evolve. And since I've already got those (well, NI's 'Evolve Mutations' adaptation anyway) it's probably not something I'm going to get right away. But I've definitely got my eye one it! Thoughts?

I said MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN. I'M AN ADULT. I'M NOT A PART OF THE SYSTEM.

I have a Paypal account. Let's get back on track re: the group buy so we can figure it out.

Where did you read that about Akoustik Piano? Not like it matters to me since I've already got it, but I didn't see that on NI's site, only Elektrik.

Yeah man, what the heck? lol

Well, jBridge should address that issue I believe.

Well, I'm not a Cubase user, but if I were, I would probably say that it'd be worth it just because of the upgrade to 64-bit, not to mention the new stuff like pitch correction. Kontakt 3 probably wasn't a huge upgrade until 3.5 came out, which introduced 64-bit as well as a HUGE performance boost in streaming so that loading times are faster and waaaay less RAM is used. However, Kontakt 4 is out now, and it's not only got a better core library, but also the new attributes-based browser which looks AWESOME. Zzounds should be shipping mine out today and I can't wait to use it. I'd say if you can afford both, the upgrades should be worth it. Remember to use this zzounds affiliate link if you plan on going through with this. They'll match the lowest price + free shipping and no tax (unless you're in NJ).

Ah, ok, that's a bit more sensible then. My order should be shipping out from zzounds today. Woo!

Very slick and smooth--like a greased up bowling ball! (I meant that as a good thing) Nice work, brothaz!

Dang, there are some dirty sick dirty textures in this. I'm going to go find an elderly woman and punch her in the face now. Tefnek is a crazy dude with some mad dirty skillz.

I would just like to clarify that I do in fact hate medleys. All medleys from now on will be met with severe contempt and maximum obstruction by me. Also, I hate all electronica and jazz. Any such pieces will be auto-rejected. We will only be accepting rock or metal remixes from now on.

Look at Justin with another DP. *sniff* Our little boy is growing up... This mix is pretty sick, all 6 and a half minutes of it. That should speak for itself.

I wouldn't have if not for the hi-res picture.

mine's actually a little outdated now. I need to take a new one soon.
