[quote=BenJammin;18832057]Yeah, idk what that could be. But why in god's name would you export to mp3 if you were going to keep working with it? Ugh.[/quote]

We only exported it for a scratch track so that I could record some other guitar tracks at home. He's doing all the mixing at his place and sending over huge .wav files was unnecessary.

That's fair. I'd just have a hard time getting "into it" with an mp3, even for recording demos.

It's especially hard when your mp3 is a semitone up from your in-hand instrument. ;)

Just do your writing a semi-tone higher you pussy.

:lol:

Or use a plugin and drop the track down a semitone. I'm sure most DAWs don't even need an outside plugin.

Tenor guitar is here. Just on my way to pick it up. Pics, initial impressions, and maybe some sound clips to follow.

What are your initial impressions? Got any sound clips? What's the tuning?

The tuning is CGDA, like a cello. The A is a fifth above the high E on a guitar.

Initial impressions are excellent. The thing is built quite well. I am especially impressed with the tuners and the bridge. The neck is comfortable, the string spacing is definitely better suited to bass players than guitarists. The pickup is hot as hell. Running it through my roommate's tube amp, I had this thing screaming.

Recordings at some point. I bought some new recording hardware, as well (thank you, tax return), but I'm having trouble getting my laptop to recognize my drivers for it.

No recordings for the foreseeable future. Hardware doesn't work properly (drivers cause fatal error). Fucking pissed.

Basses are still cool, guys.

Basses were the first cool instrument and remain the instrument of choice for serious pimps the world over.

Buy a Mac?

:wave:

Sigh. I used to have one. Had it for 4 years, and after a series of harddrive failures, I thought I'd go back to Windows so I could get a laptop that could game, as well. Sorely wishing I had bought another Mac instead. In another 2-3 years maybe, but I'm stuck with this thing for now.

Just got back from a math conference last night. It was kind of cool. I think next year I'm going to give a talk while I'm there.

Did you get... *puts on sunglasses* anyone's number?

YYYYEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH

I also had the luxury of staying at a hotel that was closing for renovation for a year. As a result, the hotel bar had to close and was anxious to unload all of their alcohol. $1 well drinks and $2 ANYTHING else. Needless to say, many glasses of Glenlivet, Ketel One, Patron, and top-shelf Long Island Iced Teas were constantly heading toward our table. I think I was solely responsible for opening and emptying the entire bottle of Ketel One during my two nights there. So worth it.

:chug:

Ordered the last few parts that I'll be needing for my sub-contra P-bass. I'm quite excited for this beast. :)

Well, this quad-coil pickup/5-way rotary switch is a bit of a PITA to wire up. I'm not sure where my wiring has gone wrong. I may just have to have the shop do it when they route and install the bridge humbucker.

Damn I love a good kosher pickle.

Need some tits in this thread.

I bet I could, and no moderators would notice for at least a month.

Not the biggest boobs, but I find Rashida Jones to be insanely attractive.

But for those of you who like boobz and Kate Upton, I'll continue on with my gif reputation:

She's a 19 (or maybe 20?) year old American model who has been the latest craze for the past year after she got the coveted Sport Illustrated Swimsuit cover in 2011.

There's also this video:

So I finished a new piece. Because no one will likely listen to it, I also offer a picture of Kate Upton.

but wer iz kaet? almost literal empty midnight promises.


Also, I like the song. Very chill.

Shit. Link must have gone down.

Damn. :(

I'll fix it when I get home. On mobile at the moment, so it's not really conducive to link hunting.

In any case, thanks for checking the song out. It's going to be part of a EP that I'm hoping I get out by midsummer.

Three words friends: Pineapple hitlist.

Like a year ago I had a house in the middle of Trenton, aka the armpit of NJ. It was a huge party house and I lived in the attic so random girls would always crash in it after parties and think it was okay. Me and my roommate would put on the Richard Nixon Watergate Tapes while they were sleeping and just wait for them to awkwardly leave.

That's awesome. Did any of them every reinforce the fact that they were not crooks?

@#$%^&*(

Survived day one of finals. Barely. Time to go sit at the bar So if you're looking for a challenge, you should probably reconsider. and drink away the pain.

What's the good word, boys?

So I took off for a weekend in Calgary with my better half and we ended up being the unfortunate victims of a break-in. Amongst several different stolen items was my 1996 Mexi Jazz Bass, my '06 Highway 1 Stratocaster and my 07-08 Fender acoustic.

After the initial shock and dismay we just grinned and bared it, and put everything back together best as we could. A trip to Guitarworks later on Saturday yielded a Taylor 214CE courtesy of my beautiful girl,

and a trip to another Guitarworks on Sunday brought this little gem into my arms

needless to say, serious upgrades, an excellent weekend amidst some chaos and, to top it off, the watch she had bought me as a surprise was found amidst the items not left in the truck! Awesome. :cool:

This forum is dead anymore, eh? Glad to see the Casual is still going lol.

Hey, I have pretty much that same Taylor, but mine is the 210, not the 214. Looks exactly the same though.

Also, starting a post-rock band. And by starting I mean started but still seeking out members.
