This game pretty much took over my life in 2001. Actually played on this server a few months ago for some nostalgia. Was tons of fun. Hope you got more players now than before.

Whoops. Missed a day.

Went to a rally once. There was very loud music playing and a bunch of delicious food. Danced all day and had a total blast.

Response to: Recommend me good trap music? Posted June 11th, 2014 in Audio

Milo & Otis, Flosstradamus, Habstrakt, Gent & Jawns, and Antiserum & Mayhem are the first that come to mind.

Just noticed there's a lot of ampersand trap groups out there haha.

Funny enough, I actually listened to this yesterday. Never really liked it, though.

Response to: What's your stance on Gay Marriage Posted June 9th, 2014 in Politics

2. If you're counter-argument for why marriage equality should be illegal is "my religious book says it is wrong" then your argument is flawed and you pretty much forfeit the argument. Saying it's against your religion is cherry-picking and pretty much equal to saying someone else can't eat a cake because the cake offends you.

3. Trying to use slippery slope bullshit arguments such as "it will lead to beastiality and zoophilia" being legal makes you look really stupid.

4, It's 2014, and people still think sexual orientation is a choice? Pretty stupid given gays, lesbians, asexuals, and bisexuals existed long before most religions existed.

5. As for teens having sex, Spooky said it best, some are mature enough and ready and others aren't.

Hoping someday more people of the South will see some of these points and learn to show tolerance so I won't feel so alone whenever I say that I fully support gay marriage and equality.

It's all about not letting the negativity consume you, brother! Hope all is going well for you.

Panning them out helps a lot. Sounds like that example video has those two guitar tracks panned a little, too.

Good to see @OcularNebula back in the game, and F-777 is great as always!

Response to: Why do people crush your dreams? Posted June 6th, 2014 in General

Negativity is a lot easier than positivity.

Response to: Skill vs presets. What do you use? Posted June 1st, 2014 in Audio

Both! In terms of production, I think of the destination instead of the journey. If a sound I need happens to already be available, then why not use it? Of course I'll tweak them a bit to put my own spin on it, but I don't really see anything wrong with using presets.

Because shut the fuck up up.

j/k. I love you. Maybe they get louder because people have learned how to compress to impress.

If it ain't clippin', you just trippin'.

Hate is such a strong word.

Response to: Why is my work never stolen. Posted May 22nd, 2014 in Audio

I can understand how thinking that if something of yours is stolen, it means it must be of some value, but you shouldn't really hope for someone to make money off of your work without your permission. To me, it would only be a small consolation versus all the trouble I would have to involve myself in to get my stolen work back or get them to stop profiting off of it. Thank goodness Xmillsa was reasonable enough and it wasn't much of a hassle to get him to comply with all the artists!

Also, just because something isn't stolen doesn't make it worthless!

Response to: Making 8-bit/chiptunes music Posted May 18th, 2014 in Audio

I used to play around with Plogue Chipsounds a while back, and I remember thinking it was pretty cool. See for yourself.

Response to: Another twat taking our stuff Posted May 18th, 2014 in Audio

I hope everyone involved will express some civility when dealing with this. I'm thinking this Xmillsa person is a reasonable guy and will be willing to cooperate with all the artists up in arms.

It's an authorization code given to you when you buy a copy, bro.

If so, could you link to the page?

There's no such thing. As long as you bought it legally along with all the instruments that came along, there's nothing to worry about. The music you make will be 100% yours.

Well... what if I finished the song and I wanted to sell my created song on iTunes/Amazon.

You can export the song and apply here on iTunes:

iTunes Application

You'd have better chances though going through a distributor who'll be willing to do the work for you. CD Baby and TuneCore are popular ones.

Response to: How can I create music??? Posted May 11th, 2014 in Audio

I don't sell any products, but as it's been said, a lot of people here use FL Studio to arrange their works.

FL Studio Demo

There's a number of other digital audio workstations (DAWs) that I would recommend. It's mostly personal preference.

Ableton Live
Cakewalk Sonar X3

Here's some that I've never used, but I hear that they're pretty great:

Steinberg Cubase 30 Day Trial
Reaper
Propellerhead Reason
Logic Pro (Apple exclusive!)

Most DAWs come with their own digital synthesizers (VSTs), so you should be able to start making stuff right away.

Also, Audacity is a great tool for live recording. And it's FREE, which is always cool.
