I pillaged that thread with my insatiable wit.

I almost did the lol smiley face, but I think it's more effective to say that your comment actually made me giggle.

[EightMilesHigh]

I'm sorry I was just expressing my angst over getting banned on an internet forum. Won't happen again.

We all get angst sometimes.

[A Goonie]

Hello everyone, what's up?

[biografiend]

I have 2 more hours of babysitting this retarded kid who gets right in my face with his gross breath when he asks me questions like "do you ever spend the night at your grandma's house? why?" "why does your mom go to work?" etc. and I want to kill myself.

p.s. I am making a happy songs mix and need 3 more songs.

[Zappa]

It's raining outside, so my City Band gig tonight (which is outside in a bandshell) might be cancelled. Right now I'm working on recording a new song.

[A Goonie]

at least your guys life at the moment sounds more interesting, im sitting in front of my computer pretending to be working, i should really be correcting an ad i created but too lazy

[Happymeal]

I mean, yeah, don't knock it 'til I try it, right? But what in the **** is "folk metal?"

Think of Devendra Banhart all covered in corpse paint, wearing a horned helmet and suspenders. That's basically it.

me too but if i wasnt at work i would be doing the same thing... being online, that just sad :(

[Iai]

I'm telling my girlfriend about the party I went to last night, and talking to a mate about the festival we're going to next month.

But then I look at my postcount, and all defences of not being sad dissipate.

So, I just got home after a few days away. My brother was home alone and since coming home I've spent 2 hours cleaning, discovered my bed was slept in, found a filthy t-shirt on my floor which I duely dispatched to the neighbour's roof, dumped an entire ashtray and several cans of cider on my brother's bed, and come close to vomiting in the sink.

So has anyone got the new Jason Mraz CD?

[lilsolsman]

It's 29th of july.

It's my birthday.

Well, it's the 29th in Holland anyway.

I just ripped the new Shpongle album into wav files on my harddrive, then dumped all the files into CoolEdit, then mixed them down to one single 67 minute track, then took dBPoweramp and converted the new file down to mp3. Now I can play the album on my iPod and it won't have gaps that I find very obnoxious, since the album is really meant to flow from one track to the next entirely uninterrupted.

[Zmev]

I used to have the whole album as one track.

Probably better that way. The CD is perfect, because then if you must skip something you can, and playing the CD generally doesn't mess up the segues between tracks.

Send them a letter telling them of your joy.

When I was six I loved Dr. Pepper so much I wrote a letter to their corporate headquarters, and they sent me back a Dr. Pepper t-shirt and bandana, and now I have diabetes. Good story.

[Zappa]

The story should end with "and now I have diabetes."

[Luxor]

Took me a minute to get that, Zappa. But when I did, I laughed. Just thought I'd let you know.

Bear vs. Shark may well be the coolest band name ever.

[JonM]

Well, I just listened to this so-called "viking metal," and I was really, really surprised.

First of all, that's exactly what it is. I can't possibly describe it any better than that. It's like medieval folk music and war dirges with distorted guitars. And more surprisingly, it's actually very interesting and not at all bad. I didn't listen to much of it (didn't want to ruin it for myself), but I had a stand-offishly favorable opinion of the six songs I listened to. The lyrics were pretty funny, but on the whole I sort of enjoyed it. I'd never listen to it again, but I'm glad I tried it once.

[Electrocution]

I just finished a Bill Bryson book. It was funny, but there's something about him that really bugs me.

If you can, I took the scenic route.

[Iai]

Do iPods usually play full CDs with gaps between tracks then? My mp3 player just moves from one to the other smoothly, so I never needed to do anything like that.

[el doctor]

Yes, although the gaps are only a split second. It's nowhere near as bad as a 2 second delay, but when you're listening to songs that flow together it can get annoying.

How'd it happen, was it your fault?

[Dog]

No. My friend was driving while I was in the passenger seat and another friend was in the back. Someone cut him off on the highway and we were forced into the median where we grazed a light pole and came close to flipping. It did cause a pretty good deal of damage, but no one was hurt thankfully.


Then I posted it on the internet.

[Zmev]

Sounds like a cool night.

I bought new socks.

Well, last night I went out for mine & my mate's birthday party, got so ludicrously smashed that I threw up outside a nightclub, got poured into a taxi by my girlfriend, threw up all over that too, and had to wash it myself to avoid a fine. I'm just glad that's the last of my mate's birthdays I have to face before I have the 'I'm a student with no money' excuse. I'm too easily persuaded and I get carried away.

Here (http://www.icompositions.com/auditorium/showphoto.php?photo=19714)'s the track I did yesterday/today. Let me know what you think. I don't like the Audio Arena.

Damn you and your m4a. I'll have a listen when I get home.

I liked it. Alot. Good nighttime music. It was real catchy without losing it's trippiness.

BTW, I'm uploading something in the YSI thread soon that you might want (or maybe not, idk)

[Zappa]

I can sincerely praise you on a job well-done, JonM. The vocals are a little too Wayne Coyne, maybe, but it's all very well played, and interesting to listen to.

The vocals were very Wayne Coyne. I liked it.

[Sam]

I concur.

Well thank you! I wanted to redo the vocals, since I sort of came home hung over and shouted them into the microphone in one take, but the guy I was working with convinced me that that was exactly the point. We're working on an EP-length thing, and I'll post the progress.

[JonM]

And thanks to you all. Especially you, my snidget, for one of the best leaks of all the amazing leaks we've gotten our hands on around here.

People who think that metaphors and similes are always a good way to strengthen the clarity and effect of their writing tend to piss me off. Comparing something's beauty to a flower, something's brightness to sunshine, etc., does not make anything more clear or more interesting; it makes it redundant and trite. Metaphors, by their very nature, are meant to be specific. When the most specific of adjectives do not properly or fully express your idea, more extreme measures of comparison may be needed. If you don't write to express yourself, you're wasting everyone's time.

Where did this literary rant stem from?

How I recorded "For Another One"

It was recorded on an Apple G4 PowerBook with a lot of RAM, which I bought for exactly this purpose. If you don't have a beefy computer, and a LARGE hard drive, straight-to-computer recording probably isn't for you. I use GarageBand for recording and tracking, and it easily syncs with Reason, which I use for building loops, as well as some mastering. I do the percussion and ambient noises on Reason, export the loops as WAV to the desktop, and just click and drag them into GB. Couldn't be easier.

As far as recording, I've got two peripheral devices that are key: The first is a TASCAM US-122 USB interface, which has two inputs balanced L and R, each of which can either be an XLR or 1/4" input, and it provides 40v of phantom power for a condenser mic (I have an M-Audio Nova). You set GarageBand to use that device for input AND output, plug monitors into the headphones jack of the TASCAM, not the computer, and then you use the TASCAM's direct monitoring volume knob to adjust your monitor level relative to the playback volume. Like I said, the inputs are balanced L and R, so we used L for instruments and R for the mic. That way, we could set a constant output volume on the TASCAM, and just adjust recording volume on GB. So, in GarageBand, you make a new track and set it to be MONO on the channel you're using, depending on if it's a vocal or instrument track, so instruments would be L and vocals would be R, get it? That way, you get a stereo signal. Otherwise, the instruments would only play in the left speaker, and the vocals would only play in the right speaker.

We did vocal effects in GarageBand, which is really versatile for that, but the guitars and bass were done through the next peripheral device, which is a Behringer V-AMP2, which is, in my opinion, all the bang of the top-of-the-line POD for half the price. It's one of the best amp modelers I've ever heard. You just plug it straight into the TASCAM and set the V-AMP volume at the level just below where playing as loud as you can possibly play would clip (there's an overload light on each of the TASCAM's inputs for watching that). I made all the guitar tones there, listening through the TASCAM's direct monitoring, and then just recorded it in GB as a blank track with no effects, though I did do the balance on the GB track. We did one of the bass tones with the V-AMP, too, though it's a guitar device, and they make a separate one for bass. We did the other bass tone with GarageBand effects and set the V-AMP to plain, clean tone. GB effects are fine, just not nearly as good as the V-AMP.

As far as the technical side, that's the whole story. If I need to clarify anything, just let me know.

[leiferikson]

Thanks Jon that was absolutely legendary of you to do that. That is pretty much EXACTLY the info I needed. We already have a a similar setup- G4 Powerbook with GB, mic+monitors (of dubious quality i have to admit) and (I think) the Korg equivalent of the V-AMP2. Im just going to have to put my Ebow purchase on hold and get the TASCAM.

Have you ever used this setup to record live? As in plugging mics into both L+R and recording all the instruments and vocals at once onto one track in GB? What does that sound like? I can just see myself getting frustrated with mastering all this but you do make it sound relatively easy.

Thanks again. I am well and truly in your debt kind sir

[JonM]

It was my pleasure.

I have never done a live track with more than one person with this set-up. I've never even tried to find out if GarageBand could handle recording two tracks at once, and I don't think recording in stereo with a different mic for each channel would be a very good strategy. However, I made sure before I bought this thing that it was designed and properly balanced to run an active mixer into one of the channels, going from there into GB mono. So, if you wanted to record live, you could do so with perfect quality, but it would require another piece of equipment.

Mine came with my report card, as I recall. It didn't have my teachers listed, though, just my tentative order of classes. Except for gym, geography, and government, it'll be pretty sweet. AP Physics, AP Calculus, AP English, German IV, and Wind Symphony.
