That URL didn't work.
put it in the new to audio sticky then.
Hmmm, .1s isn't horrible latency but it would still piss me off if it sounds like 2 guitars playing. It urks me that it's not firewire. I don't need it for traveling or anything and I probably wouldn't even use it other than to start up Pro Tools for recording Rewire tracks and VSTs.
Thanks for the feedback.
To quote David Sosa from the film "Waking Life"
"In a way, in our contemporary world view, it's easy to think that science has come to take the place of God. But some philosophical problems remain as troubling as ever. Take the problem of free will. This problem has been around for a long time, since before Aristotle in 350 B.C. St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, these guys all worried about how we can be free if God already knows in advance everything you're gonna do. Nowadays we know that the world operates according to some fundamental physical laws, and these laws govern the behavior of every object in the world. Now, these laws, because they're so trustworthy, they enable incredible technological achievements. But look at yourself. We're just physical systems too, right? We're just complex arrangements of carbon molecules. We're mostly water, and our behavior isn't gonna be an exception to these basic physical laws. So it starts to look like whether its God setting things up in advance and knowing everything you're gonna do or whether it's these basic physical laws governing everything, there's not a lot of room left for freedom.
So now you might be tempted to just ignore the question, ignore the mystery of free will. Say "Oh, well, it's just an historical anecdote. It's sophomoric. It's a question with no answer. Just forget about it." But the question keeps staring you right in the face. You think about individuality for example, who you are. Who you are is mostly a matter of the free choices that you make. Or take responsibility. You can only be held responsible, you can only be found guilty, or you can only be admired or respected for things you did of your own free will. So the question keeps coming back, and we don't really have a solution to it. It starts to look like all our decisions are really just a charade.
Think about how it happens. There's some electrical activity in your brain. Your neurons fire. They send a signal down into your nervous system. It passes along down into your muscle fibers. They twitch. You might, say, reach out your arm. It looks like it's a free action on your part, but every one of those - every part of that process is actually governed by physical law, chemical laws, electrical laws, and so on.
So now it just looks like the big bang set up the initial conditions, and the whole rest of human history, and even before, is really just the playing out of subatomic particles according to these basic fundamental physical laws. We think we're special. We think we have some kind of special dignity, but that now comes under threat. I mean, that's really challenged by this picture.
So you might be saying, "Well, wait a minute. What about quantum mechanics? I know enough contemporary physical theory to know it's not really like that. It's really a probabilistic theory. There's room. It's loose. It's not deterministic." And that's going to enable us to understand free will. But if you look at the details, it's not really going to help because what happens is you have some very small quantum particles, and their behavior is apparently a bit random. They swerve. Their behavior is absurd in the sense that its unpredictable and we can't understand it based on anything that came before. It just does something out of the blue, according to a probabilistic framework. But is that going to help with freedom? I mean, should our freedom be just a matter of probabilities, just some random swerving in a chaotic system? That starts to seem like it's worse. I'd rather be a gear in a big deterministic physical machine than just some random swerving.
So we can't just ignore the problem. We have to find room in our contemporary world view for persons with all that that entails; not just bodies, but persons. And that means trying to solve the problem of freedom, finding room for choice and responsibility, and trying to understand individuality."

Coffee. $40,000 of debt. Cold feet. Seattle. Unemployment.
Also, congrats to B0UNC3 and Paragonx9 for being apart of the weeks #1 flash submission, "Attack of the Evil TV 2"!
Step 1) You finish a song.
Step 2) Laiderdaiv makes it sound shittier (or better, who knows?)
Does that clear things up for everyone?
Well, this is what the Misc. charts look like right now.
I don't like to see audio considered the weekly best with one vote. More people need to be involved with what is considered the top 5 of the week if it is ever going to mean anything. Starting with the music community itself.
Also, music that hasn't been voted on at all. What if someone were to vote a 5 o it at the last minute!?!?
OMFG WE'RE DOOMED!!!
I'm just making you guys aware that alot of the times the top 5 doesn't mean shit. It's just the first 5 songs out of many that were voted like once or twice.
All it takes is one simple vote to break that song from appreaing on the weekly top 5. That doesn't mean you need to vote a zero. But save your 5 votes for songs you think are top 5 weekly material.
-Cheers.

Today is the day my fellow artists, for the Weeky top 5. Who shall be patrolling the charts? Some weeks go by and its all just a single self 5 vote that gets them all up there. Let's do some digging. Let's make this week REEALLY count for who gets up there.
HORRAY!

Yes please!

Exactly my point.
I like having multiple personalities.
easier to get away with double posting. I have a horrible memory.
Sorry, "Black Top Demon Anthem" and "Motor City Madman" are the songs recorded with one mic.
If anyone is interested in some comparitive listening, Black Top Demon also uses 1 microphone connected into an mp3 player. It doesn't sound that bad. But damn, you're mostly stuck with that live performance. Not a whole lot you to work with.
I'm not quite sure how they had the speakers positioned, but it must have been nicely thought out. Take a couple practice takes with your mp3 player and keep working at getting all the Amps at good volumes and at good level with the drums.
I really, really, really, want to do a collab with one of you guys.
Really really.
Really.
Really.
I use Reason3 and Recycle.
Please get ahold of me. Pretty please.
Please please. <3
I have a whole bunch of Speak and spell samples if anyone is interested.
I own Fasttrack, but not Fruity Loops (anymore).
My suggestion would be to play your song in FL, while using the software Fasttrack came with to record. There's so much latency with it's USB that (without auto-sync correcting) you would have to move the recording around in fruity loops anyways.
2 cents.
Hmm, I've seen other websites where when you hover over an image a drop down list of links is displayed below.
What would be the best way of using this? I was thinking maybe have a few songs (or flash) displayed while hovering over an artists name. Or when hovering over a songs name (in charts) allow voting instead of having to goto that users full list of songs.
Sometimes that's why I don't vote. I just want to browse the top rated songs in a genre.
The link doesn't work anyway.
Software:
Reason 3.0
Recycle
Sound Forge 8.0

Analog is a turd log that comes from your anal cavity.
Analog is tangible stuff, basically. Like telephone poles are an analog transmission. cell phones transmit digitally. Plug-ins are digital, but the equivalent would be called "analog gear" which is hardware like
I would enjoy something very colorful and psychadelic. Keep me on low-Priority as I am in no rush. =)
