Well, aren't you one for wishful thinking. So you're going to do all within your power to keep his foot injured so he remains on NG more?

that really sucks, man. get well soon

Yes, it's only funny until someone get's hurt, then it's lollarious! (+10 originality points copy + paste from tee shirt).
But seriously. Get well soon. :D

....I pulled something really bad in my leg.. and it hurts like hell...

funny thing is... I'm not really sure why...

YAY FOR RANDOM DRUNKEN INJURIES!!!

Speakin of which... hopefully I'll shift from party mode to productive mode soon enough so I can start crankin out tunes again. This purgatory between educational BS and actual career stuff is a pain in the ass. That, and the fact that I need to sort out a lot of financial garbage bad.. I'm running out of coasting room here.

Wait... So.. do you mean that you are a troll in need of healing or that you would like to find a healer that happens to be a troll ???

And speaking of trolls,
Anyone here think FL sucks? How many think Reason barely even qualifies as a toy? Would anyone care to bash on people that use AcidPro? :)

Hi there AF - it's me... remember me? ... no? Didn't think so. Well - I have had one hell of a few weeks here. Too many things happening all at once and all of them bad. Looks like things are starting to settle back down to something that's as close to normal as I could expect under the circumstances. I should be able to pop in here and be an asshole again from time to time.

I've noticed a few new names - I'll have to try to sort out who's who.

Time for me to give FLS a goodbye kiss and take a break from it.....
I have a date with Cubase. Relearning a host might be good for me.
If anyone has any tips feel free to share them ;D

Cubase SX3

I'm awfully tired of it... It's never exciting for me to use it. I think relearning (well I forgot alot about Cubase) a host would bring the "excitement" back.

Besides, freeze function is awesome and FL lack that... Bouncing is fine and all but it's very inconvenient and tedious compared to a simple press = 20% cpu power freed up

I leave for a few days and then LJ comes back. I see the worlds a better place without me :'(

Really though. It sucks to be you guys :P

Ah, rock on man! I kind of know how you feel, except on a much less grand scale. I've been getting fed up with garage band, so I upgraded to reason. It's really odd having to learn a new app. So exciting though. I feel like I'm starting all over again, except this time, I have a better idea of what I'm doing.

Music and sound is considered an art form. Do you really hate art? Or is my sarcasm radar picking up some activity in the navij region?

Actually, a little of both. I've never been too fond of the visual arts, unless I'm working in Fireworks or Photoshop or something similar. I'm not good at painting, drawing, animating, etc. I do like math, and I try to incorporate it in music, like with VST design. It all connects in the end.

Ar. Makes sense. I love art, but I kind of have a bit of a grudge against the art world. It kind of sucks sometimes as towards what people can consider art. You wouldn't happen to know what a ready made is, would you?

Well I do now. It seems to be like a thinking exercise rather than a visual exercise. Why is that even necessary? You can simply make relations and place significance upon anything you want! It seems somewhat useless... I could just say "This is my computer screen. It represents Cars. Explain that connection."

Exactly. Conceptual art. Welcome to the art world. Can I buy your idea?

That sounds horrid. Really, Photography will be art's downfall.

lol. Dude, the art world has been conceptual for a hell of a long time. As someone outside of the art world, you probably never really hear that much about conceptual art, but it's been around for decades and it's huge. The general public hates, yet unknowingly loves this kind of art, as most modern art tends to lean towards conceptual ideas and references. Dunno, it can be invigorating or depressing. It all just comes down to what you consider art.

I guess similar connections can be made with in the music world. John Cage anyone?

Hip Hop and rap makes the concept of "ART" fails. >8( !

That's only partly conceptual. Rather than relying on an image or sound as a medium for interpretive thought, his requires your mind to subconsciously make a seemingly random noise created by various people, into a form of ambient song. Its only half conceptual.

Yeah, I don't really consider rap an art at all. It seems like just some inane noises with a guy talking really fast. I don't see a very big concept in that. Now rock and metal, however, have deep riffs and harmonies, along with conceptual lyrics (usually).

I dont like rap either, but rappers consider their rhymes an art. Its all a matter of taste and opinion.

I think classical is the biggest form of art... The emotion is out of control.

Lol, the great art debate y'all.

Well, check this out, my uni degree that I start next year covers it all! Bachelor of Education, in which I'll study math teaching, and Bachelor of Arts (pretty self explanatory thar, except that I'll be doing literature based stuff, creative writing, publishing, that sort of thing). I <3 maths AND art. So... yeah.

Well, at its heart it is. I consider Eminem to be a rap ARTIST, because he is able to quickly perform two tasks simultaneously: create rhymes and form a coherent sentence. Its not just talking, he is a musical poet, weaving words to create a symphony of verse. But he's one of a kind. There are few who can do it as well as he can.

Yeah, you do have a point there. I never really looked at it that way. I agree though, that in some way, it's a matter of opinion.

Mainstream rap is usually shit, it exploits the fact that most people don't know what real music and settle for loops and half assed rapping. Where as underground rap is all about actually trying to make good music, that's what most undergrounds are like. There are certain places where you could say that mainstream rap wasn't as bad, that's where someones skill was good enough to get them to that place rather than being more marketable than other people.

I don't like hip-hop either. but some of there music (i said some) are accualy pretty cool. If they didn't make it so repetitive and would stop yelling "YEA!" or other stupid shit like that. Maybe i'd like it.

But yea... opinions...
