I don't understand the "dont want to pay someone else to try and get paid myself" < Are you talking royalties or engineers.

And even if it is petty money, Its better in your pocket than someone else's, The beauty of it is, YOU don't have to perform, Bit different with chip but in other genres, if I write a melody, register it with APRA, Then Joe Blow down the street performs, I still get paid.

I can't really talk about ASCAP, But APRA, Any one could register, I know there is a 3 year old registered, Its a cute story for another time but yeah. And yeah your right, thats what I was saying with the Bigger Crowds Bigger Cheques.

But seriously man, you may aswell register with them, Whats the worst that can happen, You get a Cheque for $5. Theres a free meal basically.

I have engineered few live gigs, never worked on a chip show, You have to keep in mind, GENERALLY SPEAKING on a 16 channel mixer, On a 24 channel mixer, Only the last to channels are "Stereo Channels" I.E 15 & 16 are grouped, 15 L 16 R, So if wasn't familiar with your music or didn't consider that a GameBoy or whatever was a Stereo signal, And you gave me a Balanced TRS (Stereo Lead) I would Still chuck in mono. I wouldn't even take it into consideration, considering 90% of the cables I own and the people I worked with are Stereo, Balanced cables, And really 90% of Instruments are Mono, Guitars, Bass, Violins (With Pickups) Drums, Even a stereo pair is just dual mono one pan left one pan right.

Now, If you do say to the sound guy, Hey this is a stereo signal, then it is his responsibility, But if you just toss him a balanced lead, 9/10 times its gunna be mono.

If this is completely irrelevant, Sorry I only read half the other posts. My bad

Virtual Box is the tits. If you can't afford Windows just run Linux, Although that is just as difficult.

I would say from my point of view here in sydney. $40 is average. There is only 2 Game stores in the whole state that I can think of that would carry them, and even then, the day they are trader is the day they are sold. Other than that its just ebay, gumtree or hock/pawn stores.

Yeah, I have timbral chromesthesia, For me nothing happens in real time though, its only when I imagine the particular sounds, Like when I hear the sound in my head, I can recall a colour.

A few people have a had a stab at diagnosing me properly. I have never found it a problem and until probably a month and a half ago I thought everyone had it.

The only thing I find difficult is when working in a DAW, and the person I am working with has Coloured the tracks. Cause when I go to EQ a heavy guitar in my head I am thinking Dark Red but I staring at a bright Green. That just confuses me, I have kind of learnt to deal with that by not every sound having different colours. In my Reason 7 Rack, All my instrument tracks are Green, All my Audio tracks are Purple, All my Sampled Loops/ Breaks are Red and all my Drums are a mellow Blue.

And when I work in Logic, Everything is the Default Blue.

For me, Heavy Guitars, Heavy Synth Bass' = Dark Red, Prog House style Plucking = Orange  808 Snares = Grey, Acoustic Guitars = Light Orange. Stuff like that.

And I can kind of get very disoriented when people overuse those "Psycho-Acoustic" Effects if that makes sense.
