Not really annoyed by what happened today, but I wonder if this happened to you, because its the 2nd time it happens to me that somebody wants me to mix his song(s), but only has everything in midi. I mean also the guitars

Take it from someone that sees people do it for college assessments all the time; the people that never reply are probably students mining for information under pseudonyms.

I switched to contact lenses for various reasons and everything seems HUGE

JeffTD · March 26th, 2012, 05:39 PM

It's the first day of classes for this term and I set my alarm for 9pm instead of am this morning. Fuck.

that's weird because I just got an email from a guy with a very similar project.

All midi, sounds like Dragonforce. Wants it fully produced.

Kind of works both ways though, doesn't it? Like not providing a record on time, at all?

sopulurn · March 28th, 2012, 09:47 AM

i'm in a REALLY terrible shape. just went bicycling, and after several kilometers i had to take a break. took a look at my heart rate and it was around 170, which isn't too far from my approximate maximum heart rate. is that normal for someone who's in an absolute shit shape like me?

haven't really done anything for a long time... but since yesterday i've started doing 4km walks everyday, probably longer as it gets easier, i really want and need to get more fit and healtier

wutzington · March 28th, 2012, 10:07 AM

As soon as I pay my next rent I'll be left with exactly 20€ for the next month. Also went to see Helmet yesterday and didn't get in. No ticket. Sounded good from outside though.

You can boot macs so they act like a big ass external hard drive. The fact that you didn't know this though, that surely would be a random annoyance of the day.

IIRC you hold apple+T on boot.

BURN.

Morgan C · March 29th, 2012, 08:37 PM

Wrote my programming assignment, got it working perfectly. Have to hand it in today and realise that it's not enough to work well, it has to function EXACTLY the same as the professor's program - warts and all. So I have to rewrite it, getting rid of any improvements and user-friendliness I've made. Fucking bullshit drone work.

Why do you feel the need to call me out no matter what I say in this forum, Jeff? Seriously.

You're one person here and you're a completely different person when talking to you one on one. Trying to impress some people or??

if6was9 · April 18th, 2012, 08:56 AM

Lost out on a potential client recently because I didn't mail them back fast enough. A mastering engineer I know recommended both me and another guy to a band to work with. I was super busy and wanted to write them a comprehensive mail so waited a couple of days and wrote them back. They mailed me back a few days later saying they'd actually already booked in with the other guy before I'd contacted them.

sopulurn · April 18th, 2012, 10:30 AM

i've got an m-audio axiom 25 midikeyboard, and i love it, but goddamn it 25 just aren't enough, especially now that i want to learn to play keyboard better. probably going to get a version with 49 keys instead, but i'm broke again

outbreak525 · April 18th, 2012, 10:36 AM

Having to pay $20 an hour to practice music.
Fuck.

I'm freaking out, because I'm probably going to enroll in voice lessons again. Shit is anywhere from $60 to $100 an hour, and I have to tack trainfare onto to that. Also, I'm bringing in less than $50 a week... le fuuuu.

plague_rider · April 19th, 2012, 09:47 AM

I need to pee...

SocialNumb · April 19th, 2012, 10:35 AM

Not today but recently.

So I was out and on the hunt for a toilet. You know when you get it bad and you're about to explode, get the sweats and pains? Yeah like that. An hour of this goes on and I finally get to a clean toilet. I'm setting up and mentally preparing for the onslaught and . . . .

a long ass fart! That's it. Not even a wet one.

Traveling on the interstate today behind this dick who is deciding to do 5 under in the left fucking hand lane. On the phone.

Also, manners. It seems UNCC is infested by pigs.

NINJA EDIT: Also, bands who have shitty gear/not maintained gear, and bands who play music way out of their genre limitations with instruments not meant for it. IE, SG for brutal death metal. Doable? Yes. Advisable. NO.

SUPERNINJA EDIT: I accidentally a word.
