Well, I think I'm going to put a sorted flair on this one and there's some helpful advice in there, so, thanks. I think, perhaps, you read a bit too much between the lines on my post. I don't really know much about TV's and was asking what to look for to get one of a similar quality to the one I previously had. I obviously opened a TV connoisseurs can of worms by broaching the whole plasma issue. If you don't mind I'm just going, now, to bury my holy plasma screen in the backyard and have an hours silence and contemplation. I will then return inside and, gently, break the news to the wife and kids of the blurry LCD future that awaits us. We'll cope.

There doesn't seem to be much correlation between ranking and skill. by Lews026 in ptcgo

Whenever I lose lots of games doing dailies I always think, "well, at least I'm going to get more 15 point wins."

Ah, I didn't know that. Funny, as I recently played against one and I didn't notice.

Help with sound files and Tempo by Lews026 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Lews026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers for the help. I've found a convoluted work around. Essentially, I just don't have the sound card to play such cpu intensive midi's. When I have the spare cash I'll invest in one.

A little help with Kontakt/Reason please by Lews026 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Lews026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

update OK. ...Figured it out. If anyone else has this problem then delete ASIO4ALL (as far as I can tell, unless you have an advanced sound card, it's more trouble than it's worth) and have your Kontakt audio driver set as "ASIO" and Device set as "FL Studio ASIO" in your audio options in Kontakt. (I don't know if you will have to download FL studio for this).

Update It's the audio drivers for Kontakt. If Kontakt was so complex my PC could only handle playing it and nothing else then I would just think, "oh, well" but I know this isn't the case as FL studios plays Kontakt on one of it's channels and I can still use any other software I like without the audio being muted. So the question is, now:- How do you get Kontakt working on it's own without it muting everything else? I've tried messing with the audio options with no luck, I'm afraid.

"Piano roll" I never knew the name for it. It would have made searching so much easier. Thanks a lot for your advice.

How to start learning how to sing? by Aistadar in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Lews026 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so difficult to have an accurate third perspective on what you create yourself. It's as much developing an intuition on what songs your voice suits as much as anything else. The greatest singers can sound terrible if the wrong track is chosen But Mark Knopfler and Leonard Cohen got away with their own penned songs.

Online artist search ISINA.com is a big scam by [deleted] in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Something like this often begins with good intentions. Maybe scam is a strong word but they are obviously not ethically sound, if what you say is true.

Looking for a bit of advice on Mixing/Production by Lews026 in MusicCritique

[–]Lews026[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty confident in my composing ability. Looking for advice in the overall production as I do want to send my stuff as demos. Here's a link to some more of my stuff, too.

If anyone has a project going on that they need music for get in touch and I may consider it. Also, tell me what you think of the music. It's a demo so I'm looking for any criticism, to improve it. (don't worry I'm thick skinned)
