This all sounds like it's shaping up pretty well, B3tabot. A moderately sized, summer show is ideal, in my opinion, since Blip is in the winter and Pulsewave fills the desire for small, monthly gatherings. That being said, I do echo the idea that even a couple hundred nerds in a 1000 person venue will feel a bit bleak. I know you mentioned smaller rooms within the same venue would be available and I think that is a great avenue to check out - just try to avoid the multiple stage bit as I think it would lead to annoyances like nonfinite mentioned. Better to get a nice, round bill with as many acts as you can get on there and still break even. Don't try to fit too many as things could just get crazy (I'm imagining so many artists that each artists only gets 15 minutes and are split between two stages - not a good recipe for a satisfied concert goer or performing artist).

What I'm trying to get to with all this babble is that I think you were very much in the right to come here and find out what people really want in a show. Good luck and I look forward to seeing the flier!

I've had this problem on practically every version of LSDJ I've used. I've considered it something you just have to deal with. I've found it usually only happens when I'm using tables that are jam packed with commands combined with certain noise shapes.

Try getting rid of some transpose commands. Use the S command in its place if that works for what you're trying to do.

Have any of you all seen this before? It's a little piece of software by Tommy Tallarico (who scored Earthworm Jim in addition to many others). Not very useful from a music production standpoint but fun for a moment.

but you'll also need a 4017.

This is indeed dangerous. But more dangerous is accidentally switching your master to slave (or worse even, MIDI) in the middle of a song resulting in a delicious drooooooooooooooooooooone and loud "SHITCAKES!"

I have spent many many hours on this page. So much great information to be found here. If I haven't thanked you before, little-scale - thanks!

MGS4 is quite well done and beautiful but it doesn't live up to MGS for PS1 IMO. I'm only about half way through though so my opinion may change.

Fallout 3 is an amazing piece of video gamery. It's epic, expandable, open and does a fantastic job of conveying the feeling that you are out, alone, in a post apocalyptic wasteland - even more so if you are from the DC area and know all the areas.

Bioshock is also fantastic but kinda feels like the unrefined, idiot brother of Fallout 3 seeing as much of the concepts are similar ("ethical" decisions, hacking, story driven by found audio files). That being said, if you are looking for some colorful, sadistic brain-bashing with a pretty damn good story - Bioshock is solid.

Ratchet and Clank 2: Carck in Time is having a really hard time keeping my attention. Maybe it's because I haven't played the other games (thus making myself familiar with the RIDICULOUS number of silly race, character and plant names.

I was thinking of grabbing Need For Speed: Shift or Batman: Arkham Asylum. The demos have both been amazing. Anybody play either of these?

I've had a hard time using my CX5M. Since carts are a bit hard to come by and I haven't really gotten my act together to get/build an SD cart, my only option has been to control it externally - and the preset sounds aren't anything to write home.

Robo-bot V1.2: now with more sarcasm and prat falls.

But seriously, I loved that bucket of bolts. Monkey vs shark!
