Yeah, it makes sense when you watch the ads for it. The "i"s represent the controllers.

PC Gamer eh? Check out SPORE.
It looks awesome. Skrew Half Like. Spore rules. Well, ok, I wouldn't know. I never played Half Life. But Spore looks sick as fuck.

You could NEVER market a toothbrush called 'dreamcast' could you?
Well, no. But a dildo? Possibly. It makes sense, hahaha. Just depends on the product. Playstation is a cool name to me. It's a station you play! How ingenious.
Dreamcast - It casts dreams because the graphics are so awesome.
X-Box - A black box with a green X on it.
Revolution - It's revolutionary.
Playstation 3 - Yeah.
Atari, Genesis, and Nintendo are all awesome names. Seems like they keep getting more and more intuitive...Wait, those aren't all console names...Does anyone else refer to NES as "Nintendo" or the Atari 2600 as just "Atari"?
I remember seeing the Playstation 9 commercials where it was like, a pink ball floating around. I wonder if they're going to continue wiht just #'s like that.
Sony Turd kinda has a ring to it.
I had to share this because it cracks me up everytime I forget:
http://mp3artistsonline.com/ is pretty cool
When you hover over the download link, it says javascript in the status bar. Myspace wouldn't support that anyways.
Chuck Norris gives me butterflies.
Everyone stop their bitching and listen to my awesomeness. That beat's awesome by the way, nice job.

Wouldn't that setup be quadraphonic? 4.1
Lots of time wasted.
The authorization code to get for Reason 2.0 will only work for that version. You cannot instal reason 3.0 with that code. However, there are upgrade versions of reason that cost less.
Doing this requires you to register the serial number on propellarheads website in exchange for an upgrade code you must (should) write down.
The seller has probably already registered the serial number, making you unable to get the authorization code allowing you to upgrade Reason.
My suggestion is save the money you were going to spend on Reason 2.0, and the money required for the Reason 3.0 upgrade (like $150?)....and just get Reason 3.0.

That's insane! We can't even hear anything above like 20 kHz. The industry standard headphones are Sony MDR-7506. Thsoe are about $100 and are pretty bad ass.
For all you drummers, check out Fingerstix! Hahaha, they're (you guessed it) drum sticks for your fingers. The demonstration videos on the website are awesome.

Damn disc read errors. that happened to me too. Sony is willing to fix it for you if you havn't broken that seal or anything but...I guess you did, as did I.
Shipping would be like $10.
Two weeks eh? I'll see what I can send your way.
For all you guitarists out there looking for something to plug your guitar into:
M-Audio JamLab
It's a USB interface for Guitar to Computer.
Some of you guys probably figured out that you can't simply plug your guitar straight into your computers soundcard/audio interface line or mic input and get a great sound. Guitars need to be plugged into a high impedance instrument input that matches the output of the guitar pickups. The absence of a dedicated instrument input on an audio interface requires the use of a seperate DirectInput box or preamp, but there are audio interfaces out there that make it simple by including an instrument input. Well, that's what this is for. It looks pretty cool too.
THis is probably as simple as you can get. All it has is a headphone jack and an instrument input. It also includes GT Express software with amp/effects simulation.
This is a place to post up new audio gear that you find while browsing some mags, searching the web, or whatever. Anything you see ground breakingly new, amazing, awesome, cheap, anything......Post us with a nice little description, a link, maybe a photo, of what you found to be some pretty cool gear.
Right off the bat, this program is not free. But for those of you who are interested (Flash artists and whomever), this is top notch scoring. It's probably THE best music notation software on the planet.
And just came out with version 4. HELLZ YEAH.
Free trial....Read more ---> !HERE!
Mix cocoa mix with coffee. It taste pretty damn good.
I'm working on a song about my friends supervisor looking like a dick.
It's a work in progress. I posted a link in the Lounge, but you can also search Jonh2o @ myspace. I posted it incomplete.
I have the resources here at school to get ahold of some pro recording gear and an Isolation booth..But I have no time to do it. Make a list of some sounds you need and I can point you in the right direction to finding some sound resource CD librarys..for free. (other than findsounds.com and those shitty places). I could email em over.
Email me: Jon.J.Waters@gmail.com
Otherwise I'll forget I posted this....Yeah, I'm deep in homework.
Anything to help,
Jon
A good type of mic for guitar would be a condenser mic. You'll needa pre-amp, and hardware. But that's more for the professional level of recording.
You can also get USB microphones that don't really need anything special. That's probably more of what you're looking for.
If you're in doubt, stop by a Guitar Center and they will be able to tell you ANYTHING you want to know...That would be a good idea. They know their shit......most the time.
Wait to buy anything, just go for some info...Look up prices online.
How much money you looking to fork over?
Wow, good stuff.
That tripped me out. Visuals are awesome.

when you're making music you want it at the highest possible bitdepth and bitrate until the last moment, this is so it retains as much sonic purity as possible, every time we do a process or add a plugin to a sound and it's bounced we lose a tiny fragment of the quality, the more you do this the more noticeable it becomes. thats why they also say to record at 24bit 96khz, if thats aviable to you, then dither down to 16bit 44.1khz, cd quality.
Who's they? Nobody I know of would take a 24bit 96khz file and dither down to 16 bit 44.1..That's bad. If you had a 96khz file you would probably want to dither down to 48khz....you would only want to record at 96khz for video...Audio formats and video formats are different..Like, if you were tracking for film that is what you would use to conform to video format.
The reason you don't want to dither down from 96 to 44.1 is because it's not an even amount, and what ends up happening is every couple other bit of information is dropped, and comes out in thirds and weird....stuff. If you had a 96khz sample, you would want to dither down to 48.
Audio Cd's are 16-bit 44.1 khz...an up from that would be 24-bit, 88.2khz...nice and doubled. =)

Doing it with Audacity or some similar software will reduce the quality, alot, I think.
What you're doing when you convert from ogg to mp3 is converting an already compressed audio file into yet another compression format..You will loose quality. Try and get ahold of the original PCM Uncompressed wav/aif file if possible...If not...Just search for "ogg to mp3 converter" and that's probably about the best you can get. SOundforge and various other programs will do probably just as gooda job.
Also, I believe that ogg is a better codec (codec?) than mp3. An 85 kbps ogg file is better quality than an 85 kbps mp3 file.
Let me know if you have any other questions. I don't know a whole lot about conversion, but I can talk more about sample rates, bit depth and other shit.
Last time I checked their was only 92 songs...havn't listened to a single one.
To whomever: Post some cool ones if you're checking that genre out.
