I love it in principle but fear it might be priced out of my league.
That, and it's vaporware until Musician's Fiend lists it.

That needs the Tron lightcycle effect! I'd feel better with a wider wheelbase or shorter car.

My motorsport is vicariously through a friend of mine or through television. I drive a family sedan the screams "boring" to most people so if I ever could afford to do anything to it, it'd define "sleeper" in an instant.  I'd rather spend that kind of money on music gear, though.

If I could afford it, though, I'd much rather do karting than street racing.

I have a very wide case, and I overclock a little, and didn't notice much difference temperature-wise.  Then again, I think the single-core Athlon 64's are supposed to be good at taking to sort of thing.

Thanks.  There were a lot of other good tunes in the pack too. wink

On Linux I use Amarok and Xine for most playback.  I listen to NSFs in the emulator of the moment (often FCEU) and SIDs in SIDPLAY.

I have RT kernels but I get a better experience when I leave the latency in.  (I have learned to anticipate the latency, and to be honest, I get higher latency on Win XP in my laptop than I do on Linux at home.)

Added icon for lulz.

I rather like this.

If chipmusic.org starts hosting music and I post music on it, I will create some kind of banner image for my blog, because all my music resources have a banner on my blog.  It will probably be made from a screencap of the upper left corner if nothing else rectangular enough comes along.

There are reasons to use the reverb filtered to only reverberate the bass- this was a question that was asked of me some time ago and since I was on the spot I think I answered it incorrectly.

Want to make that big "BEWM!!!" sound from the Lion King movie title?  Take a thump sound of any kind and put it through a reverb set on gigantic and filtered so it's only sending 400hz or lower.  My thump of choice is a Roland drum machine sample, but you can really use anything.

Otherwise, when reverb is for sweetening and not for effect, chop its lows and keep it subtle.  You should literally barely hear it.

Fashion is always cool when you're in it and crap when you're not.  A decade is just an arbitrary length of time.

As a self-proclaimed Brasilian, I must point out that that's a dreadful cover (and not bossa nova).

Here's the original:

"Mais Que Nada" by Jorge Ben
Samba Esquema Novo [1963]

Thanks for linking that- what I like in the cover is that they're not from Brazil either, perhaps I got to Brazil by flying through Shibuya for no reason.

Chunter, tht's exactly why you think about Bossa Nova. You're not brazilian.

Perhaps that's why my mother didn't play cuatro or my brother doesn't like rice; the whole "it's not as interesting when you see it every day" thing.

Styles I subconsciously fall upon when I am short on ideas #3: House (or progressive dance or IDM)

(I actually don't like Ed Banger but this video is undeniably cool.)

(It can be argued that early VGM is a mix of progressive pop/rock and dance music.)
