Re: Whats the next big thing posted on 2006-11-15 14:01:58

From the frontlines this is what a lot of us are seeing: 1. Bands with actual skills 2. Dropping of bigotry against guitar players with skills 3. Players old enough to understrand the lyrics they are singing 4. Less automatic acceptance of "promotion from within" (aka nickelodeon as a straight road to MTV) 5. Somewhat backing off of the volume wars 6. More homogenization of the players within the bands, i.e. not so many "yo were an industrial /surf/ grunge/ cowboy/emo/ death metal/ salsa tex mex band" these newer bands, who are more predisposed to playing live than their Brittney Spears/Pearl Garden Pilots/Cradle of Blink contemporaries are facing an uphill battle due to the rash of smoking bans in bars last election in the states. While this looks like a promising new direction, it may never take off if they havent a place to play

 

Re: check out my band's acoustic album preview posted on 2006-11-12 07:48:38

Awesome harmonies!

Some comments:

1. Its clean, but its not really an acoustic is it? If this is an acoustic, try and mic it instead of using these pickups. Things get bigger in a hurry that way

2. For a really "acoustic" , "organic" type of track, it would be better would much less FX. With so many fx all over it, it makes it sound not as the acoustic was intentional, just that they couldnt afford a drummer

3. Make sure the guitars are in tune/ be careful of bending the strings too hard in chords.

4. It sounds like these songs were originally written with drums. Maybe a re-arrangement for the acoustic version is in order? For instance the fast picking vamps that seem so out of time, would be fine if there were a drum fill there, but stand out like a sore thumb without

5. Good stuff, have you got the actual performers to pull these harmonies live?

6. Most important of all, GOOD SONGS!!!!!

I hope to hear some versions of these songs with drums and some distorted guitar in some parts. Keep up the good work

Errr

Vegas was the beginning of realtime transitions for video

Its GUI changed EVERYTHING we expect in the audio editing world

Simple small things that seem irrelevant but taken together have changed workflow speeds exponentially

Something as simple as Vegas' mousewheel time zoom, autocrossfades, ONE TOOL operation. Mono, stereo an/or on the same track, event editing, fade shape definition, flexible file formats, drag and drop media from anywhere, HD support back in 1998

Sorry dude, it changed a LOT

In both audio and video there was a lot of resistance from non technical luddites to these PC inspired ways of working, and in audio theres still a MAc-PT vs everything else silliness coming from luddite schools, but that doesnt change anything for those willing to embrace the technology

 

Re: recommend me a good video editor... posted on 2006-11-11 11:05:03

Yeah, FCP on mac is good too. Newer versions are starting to add some realtime tricks to not lose old customers to Vegas, but theres still an awful lot of rendering and waiting when auditioning fx and transitions.

On the plus side for FCP, there is a LOT more help books and third party support for it, as it is a much older app with a much bigger user base

Re: recommend me a good video editor... posted on 2006-11-11 00:30:49

Vegas, without question if you are on a PC. Camstudio will do for a free solution, but Vegas' realtime nature changed the whole way of looking at the industry.

At the EXTREME high end, youll be missing a few FX (maybe anyhow, the guys at creative cow can write a plugin to do almost anything you can think of) compared to the AVID setup, but the realtime, drag and drop speed will make up for it.

We just finished our second video with vegas and Ive been mixing albums on it since 1998 (yeah its a good audio editor too, though today, audiowise Im more partial to REAPER  www.reaper.fm )

I agree on the education shtick, but the money is being spent.. just.. not wisely. Standardized testing isn't doing anything for todays kids, and the dropouts for Bombay Tech end up going to MIT and Caltech so they can take their education overseas.

However, that being said, you're right. You arn't anti goverment, you're anti grammar.  :-)
[/quote]

Lets be fair...lets say 99% of americans get a grade d or above education or better and say (lowballing here) 1% get an MIT equivalent education

Those Bombay kids have 99.9999% get a grade F or no education and .0001 % get a grade D or higher education, which will include those at the MIT level

Our system is pretty crappy, but we take all comers, in fact we require it.

Our schools are dumbed down by religious nuts on the left ("diversity", revisionist history, "feel math")

ANd religious nuts on the right (anti-evolution, anti-science to a degree)

[quote author=TrekFlatland link=topic=21599.msg236308#msg236308 date=1163142109] and then there is the faaaar left wing....like crazy radical anti religion,communist, whatever. You are part of the faaaar left wing.
[/quote]

I agree with your whole sentiment, but I must add that the faaaar left is just as religious, just not necessarily with the same religion as whatever the far right has in that area

Far left believes in all sorts of "facts" without evidence ( which of course is the essence of religion ), such as "gender norming" - the belief that a log will change its weight to a lighter one if a female needs to lift it, and change its weight back heavier if a male has to lift it. This is no less a religious belief than that a god made us evil, got mad at us for making us evil and sent himself down to kill himself to impress himself to forgive us for our evil.

 

Re: Fly Simple, Gyro Cables hit frame posted on 2006-11-10 17:14:31

AWESOME!!!!!

Is ther a special trick to sticking the cables in so it knarps hard? I do it and the cable gets squeezed apart and frayed

 

Re: Fly Simple, Gyro Cables hit frame posted on 2006-11-10 14:28:54

Dead Sailor, do you or have you ever tried running the gyro GTX only using its internal knarps? The clamping system is iffy to me, but if it holds up, thats almost 1/2" lower

 

Re: the shins (not the band) posted on 2006-11-10 13:57:35

I dont even get on a bike without shin guards on. I think they really did have a large part to play in kicking off the new school of pegs/skateboard tricks of the early 90's

I realize safety is "uncool" and all, but I dont really care much what people think

 

Re: Fly Simple, Gyro Cables hit frame posted on 2006-11-10 13:42:57

What you are looking at there, is the exact length it takes to bury the lever into the grip. There is no slack on the upper gyro cable, its just at the exact spot where any lever pull will start the gyro up.

I think you are pointing out though, that I could raise the top gyro cable and take out a spacer?

err if I had a half sized spacer...maybe I do have one somewhere

In the pics you can see I removed the locknut from the lower gyro cables where they enter the frame tabs. This put the bottom position at the minimum height I needed for clearance.

If the top cable adjuster area were near the top of the stem, that would be great. In tegrated with the stem, like in the case of this snafu, seems to help somewhat, but the new stem I am geting, the suelo, has a gyro plate and that is below the stem...so to get the same pull Im scared I may have to go even higher...

 

Fly Simple, Gyro Cables hit frame posted on 2006-11-10 11:58:16

Just putting me new fly simple frame togehter with a gtx gyro. When I spin the bars the top gyro cable stops hit the frame!

I guess I could cut the balls off and use the gyros internal knarps, but Id WAY rather not

I put some spacers in under the stem for now, but now is sitting awful high. do you guys raise the bottom cable adjusters for the proper minimum bottoming height?

 

Re: Suddam's sentenced posted on 2006-11-08 16:47:22

still playing hard and loose with the facts I see

Bush isnt stopping anyone from doing stem cell research

Hes set limits to how FEDERAL research money can be spent

you can do all the stem cell research you want, but he feels that people against it should not have to pay for it

I think hes an idiot, but I understand not wanting your tax money to go to things you dont care for

Since I love labels so much, here I am as a liberal.

LIBERALS usually embrace freedom of choice in personal

matters, but tend to support significant government control of the

economy.

In USA, liberals usually pass laws that have a great degree of control over personal day to day affairs. Stuff like thought crime legislation ( hate crimes, "diversity" non-offense laws), behaviour legislation (antismoking anti-alcohol, lifestyle taxes) and anti self defensive freedom

Re: Hacking democracy posted on 2006-11-08 13:19:37

LOL

On my skeptics forum we were speculating that the dems would call accusations of vote rigging if they lost but deny the possibility if they won

Lets see what happens

 

Re: Vote in the U.S. posted on 2006-11-08 13:18:23

I say next presidential election looks like clinton/perot/bush all over again

I hope this time we chose perot

 

Re: Suddam's sentenced posted on 2006-11-08 13:17:22

Pretty good analogy Trek

Lets hope the dems taking power means some better way of looking at the situation. I think it means more emphasis on training for sure. The new secdef is a guy I got a lot of respect for, hopefully that helps. Car Salseman Rumsfeld was a toad
