For sure! Longer and more substantial releases are on the way :)

It's fine, no problem. Anybody else maybe?

What this guy's talking about is something that will only work for your each project. If you want to change which folder opens first when you go to File > Open I don't think you'll have much luck.

Have you added your own project folder to the browser through Options > File Settings? Not sure if you know this, but you can also make a favourites list of folders in the open/save/save as menus.

Okay wow completely misread the question (fffffuuuuu i am tired) and assumed you already had a copy of protools and had an iLok

You probably will need to purchase an iLok if you don't already have one.

Response to: pro tools m powered 8 ilock Posted January 6th, 2012 in Audio

The ilock is just for the protools software, not for the keyboard. You can use that keyboard with any software, really (given it's an Axiom/Oxygen)

So I finally got around to finishing an 8-bit EP. Woo! This is the whole "blip bloop unce unce" thing but very inspired by early 2000's pop punk structure and songwriting so if you like fun music and are a cool person in general you will probably enjoy this a lot!

Download it on Bandcamp!
It's free for the first 200 folks who want it for free, but if you love it you can always send me a bit of cash dollar.

I uploaded one of the tracks to NG a couple weeks ago:

Develop it naturally, then spend extra time condensing it. You're just working to a brief that happens to have a time limit; it's not big deal.

Not really understanding why this is a problem, given the circumstances and the brief.

Response to: Mac12 - Jan/feb Discussion Posted January 2nd, 2012 in Audio

Gonna be honest, I kind of want to cop out by doing an ensemble piece but at the same time it's not really copping out if i put the same effort into only 4 or 5 instruments.

Was thinking of doing something for piano, flute, cor anglais, cello and viola.

Response to: 25 Key Usb Keyboards Posted January 2nd, 2012 in Audio

Anything on this page within your price range will be suitable, although if you don't need knobs and stuff you can get a plain controller keyboard with a wider range for under $100

Response to: Mac12 - Jan/feb Discussion Posted January 2nd, 2012 in Audio

Are small ensemble pieces okay? Pieces for a quartet, quintet, etc. Obviously not all instruments of the same family.

Yeah actually, what are you using as your clean guitar sound atm? If they're just crappy samples that would probably have a lot to do with stuff sounding "terrible and fake" imo.

Get a program with VST support and try some of the free head/speaker simulators these guys. If you don't like any of those and you have money get Guitar Rig, and if you think that sounds "terrible and fake" then you're just an asshole lol.

SimSynth Live is pretty lush and underrated. WASP and XT are fantastic too. Fruity DX10 has your FM plinks and plonks down pat if you need those. And then there are a few more goodies if you look hard enough through the plugin menu....

Worst comes to worst you can always load up an older autosave and copy the score(s) over. Unles syou were working for so long that any autosave with the old score is gone ._.

Yeah I mean the sound itself is eerie. Sometimes the disc would take ages to load and the PS1 opening sound would completely trail off, then just as you're about to go press reset it's all like "SCHWAAASSZLLIIINNGGGDOoo-dooo... dooo!"

I like the 2nd sound a lot just on it's own; it plays by itself when you run a PS1 game on a PS2. Really eerie shit!

Every moderately knowing musician knows how classify DnB rhythms and tempo, even the stupid ones.

Seriously there's like one maybe two breakbeat songs on the dnb page right now.

I was gonna go listen to 5 random songs on the DnB page to back you up on that, but then the first one I listened to was half-time breakbeat with orchestral instruments in the background. ._.
