I have nothing of value to contribute to this thread other than: that's a fuckin' cool machine.

And that I disagree with that one rule.

If there are six days left I think you can probably reduce the thread-bump frequency.

I haven't experienced this specific problem (haven't added events in a while) but yeah this doesn't surprise me. With most totally inexplicable MySpace malfunctions like these, the only workaround is: wait around till they do something about it.

I really liked BBS: The Documentary, about early dial-up bulletin board technology & subcultures.

Awesome show, all the acts were great. If you weren't there, you missed DMDS covering "Smell Yo Dick." That's all I gotta say.

This is awesome. Thrashy & trashy. Just what I've been in the mood for recently. First track: definite game-changer.

ok so I have a vocal track that has some loud and quite parts how do i smooth it out so it is uniformed?

rerecord it and do it right this time?

yah you can fix it, but why not do it right and not need to fix it?

In my (limited) experience, the natural volume variance of a singing voice can sound very unnatural when recorded; I can't really imagine vocals being recorded without some sort of compression involved (whether as a dedicated effect, or as a function of the intrinsic character of the recording medium, i.e. tape compression, etc.). You'd have to be a pretty smooth & controlled singer to maintain a uniform volume -- and even then it'd be at the expense of vocal dynamics (deliberately quiet parts, deliberately belted-out parts, etc.).

PS: awesome show. It'd been way too long since I'd seen Seed A.I..

Oh you guys.
