Man, I am trying to get the hang of Cool Edit Pro, but it is hard... :(

I'm trying to do a little mixing project, by combining two songs from wildly different genres.

I need a sound engineer to help me out.

[QUOTE=GurS]There was a guy who'd spent more than 80 years awake. But I think he died or something[/QUOTE]

i can't survive over two days without sleep, no matter how little the amount of sleep is

I can survive for months with aobut 3-4 hours sleep a night

Well, I suppose I could. I'm going Cryptopsy and Ministry Of Sound right now. :)

Morning y'all.

Hey there Barkeep. What happening?

Jason, you'll have to let me hear that when you're done:).

[QUOTE=Bartender]Morning y'all.[/QUOTE]

Another dual-medium conversation, hey?

My day has been good. Thinking about giving up on trying to mix songs...

Little. Just catching up on MX, then more than likely going to go play on the PS2, since I fixed it.

I think I'm also going to put some music on, since I can hear..things from one of the other rooms.

Morning 'Tender

My bro broke his ps2. The warranty ran out, so he bought one of those mini-flat ones.

That roommate back at it? I guess exams are over now....

Urgh! I had an Interview today with a Marketing company. Went rather well and they wanted me back for a 'Group' thing. So I was all hyped, but it turns out it's from 12:00 till 8:30! On a Friday night aswell. Oh well.

Good pay?

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]That roommate back at it? I guess exams are over now....[/QUOTE]

Yeah. The worrying thing is that her room is two doors over :-/ Maybe her boyfriend is just getting better.

She's stopped now anyway. Cruel though it is, we know they've never lasted more than about four minutes.

Either she's [i]really[/i] good, and he can't help it, or he has an astounding lack of stamina...

Yeah. I don't know him though, so I don't care what conclusions are drawn :)

I'm off to get food and drink, and play PS2, etc. So I'll see you all later.

See you.

So, have we got a reluctant sound engineer/experienced user of Cool Edit Pro among us? Other than that, I will have to wait for Wintermute to come online.

Sorry Riva, sound engineering is one of the few areas where I lack expertise. Just about anything else to do with music I can answer, but not the tech side.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]See you.

Well, I'm no expert, but I have all the software to do what I think you want to do...

Hit me up on MSN tomorrow. I'm going to watch some T.V. now. :)

Will do, later.

Have fun watching... 'TV'

So, for everyone who's left hanging about on this here thread..... sup?

Not much. Have a little over an hour of work left. Then its time to go make guitar recordings.

nice.

I'm ill. *sob*

Oh well, it's not all bad. I missed triple Politics, with the bitchiest teacher EVER. And tomorrow.... I get new stuff for my drum kit :)

Namely, a second bass drum and three more rack toms :cool:

Sounds good other than the sickness. But I can't say I'd mind missing a politics class. The second bass drum is a big plus.

Oh yeh. 10 piece heaven, here I come. My drum kit is already bigger than anyone other drummer's in my school, due to the amount of cymbals I have, and this is just gonna add to that :) I'll probably need a few more crashes, though. I don't reckon 4 is enough to place around the 10 piece, 7 or 8 will do me fine.

Heh, 7 or 8. Would you actually use all those or is it just to make the set complete and full looking?

Well, at the moment, I'm known to be cymbal happy, not just due to the amount of cymbals I have on my set up, but because afterwards someone said to me, "Dude, every time I looked at you, all your cymbals were moving" as in having just been hit. So, on my relatively small kit, if i'm constantly using 4 crashes, I reckon I should more than easily be able to use 7 or 8.

The problem I have is that I've kind of been forced to use all my cymbals and all my kit... everyone knows that I'm a self-taught drummer, and hence I'm under constant pressure to use all my stuff, or else people will say I'm just trying to show off or be an attention seeker :( So, I'm gonna have to start major fills that will use all my toms, or else face being berated :( Likewise, when I got my 24" china, I was told that I was just being greedy, that I'm not actually going to use it. So now my band has a song which is more or less entirley focused around that china. The problem of having the biggest kit in school :(

Wow, good explaination. I guess it makes sense then. You'll have to take an updated pic of the kit when you get all the new elements.

Aye, tomorrow evening there should be pics of my new baby up. I can't wait!

I'm probalby gonna buy a mate's splash, and I heard that if you get a cymbal, and kinda push it inside-out, you can make a homemade china. I'm certainly gonna try that with a crappy 16" crash I have (I never use it, I only use 18" crashes or more. But for a china, i reckon a 16" could sound pretty nice).

What's your weapon of choice, cjborton?

IMO, you only need 4/5 piece kit with two crashes, hats and a ride to sound great. Anything more than that is a waste of money.

My weapons are my Ibanez SZ320 (favorite), Gibson SG, and my piss Peavey Predator Plus, which was my first guitar and doesn't get played much anymore. Right now I play though a 15W Marshall, but as soon as I get out of the Army I'll be upgrading that to at least a 60W.

Someone asked me what my idea of a minamilist kit is. I said, 5 piece, 2 crashes, ride, hats, china, double kick pedal.


It seems to be the 'in' thing these days to have a 4 piece, hats and three crashes (2 'regular' size and a larger one in place of the other tom). The best drummer in my school has that, a four piece, with hats, a 16" crash, a 17" crash, and an 18" in place of the other rack tom.

Army, eh?

I should be doing that in a few months. But I'll probably put it of till I'm 25, so I only have to do 6 months + training as opposed to three years. **** IDF... **** Jews.... I HATE THEM SO MUCH! *shakes fist*

How the deuce are you only gonna do 6 months? I've heard about an 18 month plan, but that's the shortest I know of.

Well, in the IDF, if you're over 25, the only make you do 6months service, + training. Then again, it's different in Israel. Once you've done that, you have to do 1 month army service a year until you're 45 or something.

Its not really 'in' its just it generally sounds the best. Ok, drummer such as nicko who do ridiculous full kit fills are good, but think of the REALLY good drummers.

Steve Gadd : 4 Piece
Mike Van Dyne (Hes in Arsis, a death metal band) : 4 Piece
DragonForce Dude : 4/5 Piece.

Its just more practical really. But i know that massive kits are really fun.
