[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;17227231]My computer is just effed.

It can't play music off the HD without skipping like a scratched CD. It can't play streaming audio or video unless it's completely loaded, or else it just skips and stutters.

I doubt it could properly run a recording program.[/QUOTE]


You could always actually record the audio elsewhere, then it's just a matter of pushing buttons. Working with the samples, cutting and pasting, mixing.

What's wrong with it?

Tried scanning it, defragging, reformatting, etc?

[QUOTE=Spaceman Spiff;17227234]Well, I meant that looping would be the theme here. Whatever the general idea for the comp is is all that needs to be specified, the instruments that you use should be up to you. Although you should actually have to play an instrument and record it. Pretty much the only rule I can come up with.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, sure. I think the rule list I posted pretty much covers it.

That's ri-DICK-ulous.

Yeah, tried all that, it's just old and busted like a granny that fell down in the shower. It's not good for anything anymore... except posting here. It can pretty much run Firefox and MSN, that's about it.

Audition takes up about as much system resource as MSN, and definitely less than both MSN and Firefox. Tried Audacity or some other similar freeware?

[QUOTE=EADGCF;17227265]Yeah, sure. I think the rule list I posted pretty much covers it.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I've had a few beers and I'm not really paying attention to every post... if you know what I mean.

But your rules are good. Should remain for every comp, with minor alterations depending on the competition.

I hate viruses on my computer. Don't even know how I get them as I virus scan everything before I download it. Must be spy/malware from link re-directs that people have unnecessarily hidden on their pages.

Either that, or my sister used my computer and figured that I need Windows XP Antivirus 2009. **smacks forehead** One of the most annoying viruses to get rid of because it's hidden in your registry.

Not on this computer, no. Maybe I should.

Perhaps I'll give it a shot and see what happens. If I can't get it going on this computer, I should have a new one fairly soon so that I can record at home.

So Joe is in, of course, with his new found interest in audio looping.

I love audio looping!

Why?

[QUOTE=EADGCF;17227121]Who wants to do a looping comp?[/QUOTE]


That's why.

wait wtf a comp whats going on here

See above!

I'm doing some guitar looping in front of my class tomorrow. Coincidence?

what is a looping comp judged by

who can make their entry sound most repetitive?

I might be able to do that. Got some ideas going on. Any limit on loop length? I mean, I could argue that my 3 minute song is a 1-minute loop repeated 3 times.

btw, somebody try this for me:

type in "Ernie Ball Music Man" into google.

third link down should be the home page www.music-man.com/

instead, when I mouse-over the link, I get this:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=3&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.music-man.com%2F&ei=AWcCSpnEG47oMP6O8JMG&rct=j&q=ernie+bass+music+man&usg=AFQjCNG2uKAz7VC9i_A36uR_coUpTS3Llw

is this happening for anybody else? It's really starting to piss me off.

No length limit but trust me, it works in your favour to make it on the shorter side.

Probably whatever entry is the least terrible.

Someone should hook me up with a link for some good free (I don't mean freeware) recording software, and suggest a good interface for me to buy. I don't like using those 1/4 to 1/8 adapters, because they end up working the jack socket loose.

Can't help you much on the software front because I use GarageBand, but I've got an M-Audio MobilePre that works decently, and it's not particularly expensive. Agreed on not using converters... I need to get a cable with 1/4 on one end, and 1/8 on the other, so I can run my laptop through my amp.

I have an m-audio fast track pro and I love it. It was relatively cheap and they pop up used on CL for about $100 all the time.

As far as recording, I love my Adobe Audition. If you don't use midi, it's very simple to learn and very functional all-around. isohunt.com + μtorrent program will help you find it for free.

Yeah, I used to use Audition before I got my Mac, and thought it was a great program. Really easy to use.

I'm getting a Presonus Audiobox in the next week, comes with Cubase LE 4 bundled, I'll let you know if it's good.

I used to use Cool Edit Pro, so I reckon I could use Audition.

But I wouldn't mind MIDI capabilities.

Ableton is pretty good for midi.

Did you used to have exploding dog avatars, gaslight?

Audition may not be the way to go, then. It has ReWire options, but I don't know enough about midi to know anything more than that.

[QUOTE=fatbandit;17228027]Did you used to have exploding dog avatars, gaslight?[/QUOTE]

Yeah mate I probably had a few of those in my day.

Well, I'm fairly certain I'm going to quit my job and take out disgustingly large student loans so that I can get back on track with my education.

:upset:

I'm going to miss the income and complete frivolity.

how'd you come to that conclusion?
