Quote from The Very End :and what advices would you give to a n00b? I have rhytm, that is ok, but since I don't play drums my knowlege of the posibilities with it is around 0.

just do what sounds good to you. depending on what kind of music you're making, you might use a different set of instruments than another form of music, but it's all the same. in a lot of videos i've seen for beat making, people tend to lay down the bass and drums before cymbals/hihats. that way you don't have to think about it like you were sitting in front of a drum kit, and you don't have to play it all at once. loop the beat and fiddle with it, and enjoy.

do you have any input devices? (keyboards, samplers, etc)

i'm partial to fl studio, myself.

Quote :I hope to learn making somewhat acceptable crap rythms with bass/drums/keyboard, but I guess I have years of learning ahead of me!

random screwing around is fun.

Does anyone find it funny that Hamilton said to Massa "don't touch me", and everyone is eating it up, but if a fan grabbed him and he said that, the media would turn and make him look like some devil worshipper...

so after a year of harping about the atrix, i finally decided to walk into a tbooth and check it out. and then i bought it.

so here's a bunch of screenshots. the youtube one is blacked out, because of how ddms takes screenshots, but it plays back quite well, very crisp.

Quote from hiroshima guy :I have Realtek HD Audio Manager and it has a built-in EQ. I will take a look anyway.

if you have a intel/realtek sound card, do you have two output mixers in the volume control? (some do, some don't) if you have two, you could turn them both up to see if that helps...

from what I read a few months back, SID's don't mean anything anymore. in the past, if two computers had the same SID, it would cause problems with AD and programs that use AD.

i think the reason they recommend you use sysprep is so you get the setup stuff on first boot, so you can set the host name and whatnot. if you use a ghost image, you could run into problems like static ip and host name conflicts.

Quote from XCNuse :Finally tested it out; I feel like my FPS dropped; but maybe not; still having issues with TV and the connection but.. oh well.

LOOOOOVE the open tracks; something I've been wanting since the day I got S1 even! They're great to play with for sure.

that's why your FPS has dropped. but your TV also lowers your max FPS as well.

Quote from Mountaindewzilla :A lot of people around here seem inclined to discount the most recent patch. To them, I advise you read the release, and take into consideration the fact that it took months to complete. If I recall correctly, Scawen had spent several weeks on it before releasing test patches.

does that include the 6 months he took off for moving? z28 to now is roughly 21 months.

i'm not going to sit here and badmouth scawen completely, he did make some noticeable improvements in that time, but we're still no closer to s3 than we were in december 2008.

if s3 is ready for all these game conventions we've seen it at in the past, i don't see why it's not ready for us. but that's just me.

did you just connect to it, and did you let people pass the split markers, or the start/finish line?

Quote :Coolbits is a Windows registry hack for Nvidia graphics cards Windows drivers, that allows tweaking features via the Nvidia driver control panel (including overclocking). There is also a Coolbits 2.0, with extra features. These features provided by Coolbits are considered expert-only and thus the reason they are normally hidden in the control panel.

before they added it, you had to use an outside program like nvclock, nvtune, powerstrip, or rivatuner.

i see you already solved it, but i had a question/memory refresher... don't you need to enable coolbits to change the fan speed, like you do with the gpu/memory clocks?

Quote from NitroNitrous :I´m sorry but you´re wrong. There´s no difference at all between a crack*d version and a genuine one.

Quote :The company has made installation of Windows Genuine Advantage a requirement for use of the Windows Update and Microsoft Update websites, in part to be sure that customers who use support resources of the company are aware when their software is unlicensed. According to Microsoft themselves, it is legal to run Microsoft Windows without Windows Genuine Advantage. However, since non-critical Windows updates are not presented by Automatic Updates, installation of WGA is required for installation of such non-critical updates, which are only available through Windows Update or the Microsoft Download Center.

Microsoft includes the Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Library in several products, such as Windows Validation Tool for Windows Media Player 11, to check the validation about all Windows software. As of version 7, Internet Explorer no longer requires the user to pass a Windows Genuine Advantage test in order to download or install the software. The WGA Validation Library is also included in the Microsoft Security Essentials 2.0 and validate the Windows installation whether it is legitimate or not. The program will stop working after 30 days once it failed the validation process.
The information is then used in the WGA Library to check for overuse of license keys.

okay, so it might not be true for IE anymore, but WMP and MSE still require it.

Quote from gandlers :Why would you install off a hookey disk with a pukka key, doesnt add up!

scratched or lost disks is at the top of my reason list... i've done it before too. and it doesn't help when manufacturers only give you a restore cd (or give you a blank disc and the software to make the restore cd, talk about laziness), instead of a windows cd like they used to.

Quote from NitroNitrous :I don´t know what´s happening, but you can just cr*ck it. You already paid for it, right? So now doesn´t matter how you activate it.
It´s very easy to find if you google it...

cracking WGA prevents you from installing a whole slew of stuff, including new versions of internet explorer, windows media player, and microsoft security essentials.

could it be possible someone thefted your windows key? you could phone them up and get a new key perhaps...

Quote from PoVo :It's not about being old fashioned.

They make a really fun map and then reuse it it later games with new textures and a few new 3d objects.

It really upsets me when they make a new game with old stuff

Quote from MadCatX :I love how the game still has the original CS sounds, it's one redeeming factor about it, let's hope it stays that way. However, the de_dust remake is just... stairway in the underpass and a bridge across it? Way too easy for the terrorists if you ask me...

yes, those map changes screw things up a bit, imo.

is it just me, or has not much changed in terms of gameplay? so what if they change up textures or guns, it's still the same game... i'd rather still be playing 1.6, if it weren't for the fact that the netcode went to shit after they ditched WON, and if people still played 1.6...

Quote from PoVo :Remake of DE_DUST_2 at the very end makes the game crap. I really liked the proper dust one.

i didn't like the changes to the maps in CSCZ or CSS either. call me old fashioned, i guess.

my couch must also be earthquake proof, because i didn't feel it either. people in toronto said they felt it though. i've talked to a few people in my city and they said they didn't notice it either...

some people were saying they were told to evacuate their buildings, but here's the funny thing about that... if the building falls on you, you're just as boned, if not worse off, than staying inside.

Quote from baartlomiej :The problem is that I haven't got the CD. When I bought my PC, Windows was included on it. It happened after I've changed power socket, and maybe that guy who fixed it has ruined something. The funny thing is that it worked in about an hour, but then crashed and got blue screen. Now it will not start.

when you say power socket, are you referring to the power input port on the laptop itself? or are you referring to the power pack itself? sometimes changing that port can be a hassle which requires the tech to strip the laptop down to basically nothing.

i'd take it back to him and make him fix it. either the drive isn't plugged in properly, it's dying, or someone/thing changed the boot order or the boot sector.
