Slightly OT, but congratulations on the album review they did! I did a massive double take hahaha.

haha, thanks man. Took me by surprise too, I had no idea it was going to be in there!)

KRK RP6 G2 Pair

I would go for these, I know a fair few people using the RP5's and they are just plain excellent for home studio use, I'll be buying myself some soon, especially for the price range they pack quite a punch and can compete with monitors two three times their price. I've read many positive articles on them and the trusted FutureMusic magazine ran a series of monitor tests and these came out very highly rated amongst the much more expensive sets. Basically they're great value monitors that pack a nice punch:)

I use an Edirol/Roland UA-25EX (usb) interface with my laptop and it suits me just fine. It sounds like the sort of spec u are looking for, it's at the slightly higher end of your budget, I paid just over £150 for mine, so approx $237, however I also run vista 32 bit and the driver is absolutely solid, no problems there, and the latency, providing you have a good processor is virtually non-existent,
I highly recommend it, it's robust, ultra-reliable, light & compact but tough, perfect for just sticking in you laptop bag with your laptop and taking it with u wherever u go.

I would suggest these.... SONY MDR-7506 High end of your budget I know, but I own a pair and they're excellent, give just as good results as headphones twice their price.

You can put your tracks up there for streaming only and create your own little widget very easily.

Thank You So Much!
This looks like what I've been looking for.

no prob, glad to be of service:D

meh....that's true of any streaming though, so what a pointless comment, totally unhelpful

First off, the Kaossillator is by no means a piece of shit, it's an expressive and fun tool in the right hands, and is meant for 'on the fly' recordings and expression.
To record it into your computer you could go out of the Kaossillator using a 2 x RCA Phono Audio Cable to 3.5mm Jack into your computers input (line-in/mic-in) and record it directly into whatever DAW you are using, Video Example
...this may not be the best method however, and you will get a cleaner recording if you go from the Kaossillator into an 'audio interface/external soundcard' into your computer.
Hope this helps a little.

Another trk from my 'Tied Up To Machines' record......
THE CAPTCHA

Quick update on this...
The CD should be in the store pretty soon, Tom tells me there have been a few probs with the store... "We got all the pics ready and Bob had everything ready to load into the system, but the store merch update form turned out to be busted" so hopefully wont be long now.

Also, my EP received a short but sweet review in the September Issue of FutureMusic magazine(FM217)
which you can check out by visiting this link: 'Tied Up To Machines' Review

oh, and one last thing...
a mix of my own trx 'Kingbastard Cooks Slab Styli With Reversed Beard' is still available on my website www.kingbastard.co.uk download it for just £1.

i don't use those progs but have a look into 'automation' and inserting an 'envelope' on the trk for the volume crescendo issue and for the tempo increasing try to see if you can 'mark' the track at the certain increments where you want the tempo to increase, then allocate an increasing tempo to each mark.

im thinking about getting a line6 pod x3 live factory b-stock is the usb capable to record without too much latency or would it only be useful as a virtual amp/multi effects pedal?

what kind of recording programs are best aswell?

I think you're looking at the right kind of Hardware, although i dont think the mic input on the line6 pod x3 live has it's own phantom power, so for acoustic recordings/vox/powering a condenser mic you're gonna need to get an external phantom power box and some XLR cables, will set u back about $50-$80.
The usb should be fine latency-wise, most interfaces come with direct monitoring now too so you get zero-latency when overdubbing, you're always going to get some latency with usb, but I don't think it will be enough to trouble you. (I use an Edirol UA-25EX with my mobile laptop studio which is usb and it works just fine for me)
I have heard that it's not really the sort of hardware to use 'Live' and better for the intermediate guitarist looking to hone their sound in the home studio/practice. If you can, the best thing to do is find a local dealer in your area and go and try one out, you can't beat actually having a fiddle about with things to know if they're for you or not:)

Recording program-wise there are a plethora to chose from, I'd be surprised if it didn't come bundled with some Lite versions of programs, often Line 6 stuff comes with a lite version of Ableton Live, that would be good enough to get you started.
You could also try Cubase, Acid Pro, Cakewalk SONAR, Ableton Live, etc etc... the list goes on an on
I would suggest starting out in Cubase, or Acid as these are quite user-friendly programs.
I'm sure other people will disagree, but you just have to try the various DAWs and find which one works best for you.

hope that helps a little:)

hey, did you get your machine fixed up yet? :D

not fixed as such, I'm just running it as a glorified FX pre-amp now , the onboard fx are excellent though, so it's well worth still having:D

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet:P

hey man, any news about this going up on the site yet?

You can't record directly into Reason. So you wont be able to record guitar in there, it's a self contained program. You might be better off waiting for Propellerheads forthcoming DAW 'Record' as that will be more suitable if you're looking to record guitar. Alternatively try other DAWs such as Ableton Live, Sony Acid Pro, Logic or Cubase.

Me and a friend have begun creating an game for the Xbox.
Lots of people make these games - they're called "Community games" or "Indie games." These are games created by the community, for the community.

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/communit y/default.htm

You upload your game to the site, and people download it for something like $2.50 or $5.00. Microsoft takes 30% of that, and the creator(s) gets the rest!

Anyway, I'm doing the graphics, and he's doing the programming, but neither of us are very good with music. So here's my question:
Can we use music from the Newgrounds audio portal in a game which might potentially make money every time it's downloaded? I know you can use the NG audio in animations and flash games, even those that get a sponsorship. But what about a game which might actually generate some cash? Do you think the music artist would want a cut of the profits? Is the NG audio portal non-profit only?
Please absolve me of my ignorance.

Thanks!

Strictly speaking the music in the audio portal is restricted by the Creative Commons license and therefore should not be used for commercial purposes, however if you contact the copyright holder ie:'The Artist' and get their permission to utilize their song for your purposes then it's ok.
However, when using their audio in a profitable endeavour they should, without doubt, receive a cut from those profits, something reasonable which is agreed by both parties and cemented by a simple contract.

hope that helps
