My Thirty-Third Post! I love SID! ;)

I'm too spoiled nowadays to appreciate the 2600 like it deserves. I was halfway there by the time I got my '64, the sharper graphics, stunning sound, and more involved gameplay caused me to forget about my 2600. Once I got my NES I was gone from the 2600 for good. However I do occasionally fire up M...

I'd love to have one, although I doubt I'd be able to do much more with it beyond using it as a fast '64. It's a programmer's dream, too bad I hate programming. :)

It doesn't matter one bit to me, so long as there's '64 content I'm happy. :) My amiga experience encompasses reformatting an amiga game disk on my 1581 in order to store guitar tab.

Damn, does this mean I'm not allowed to mindlessly bash Apples anymore? ;) I once changed my parent's Win98 boot logo to the classic C64 startup screen, with LOAD"WIN98",8,1 ect. The called me in amazement asking how I got a '64 in their computer, and to ask if Windows would run the same. ...

It's been a while since I heard it, as it wasn't a very compelling tune, however if memory serves the industrial group Apoptgyma Berserk used a SID as an intro to one of their albums, title "Apoptgyma Berserk goes C64" and after a quick look on Kazaa Lite there's something called "APB...

putzi: Ministry pre-dates Rammstein by a fairly good margin, so I'd probably be correct in thinking Ministry had a good amount of influence on Rammstein. Makke made some good suggestions as far as worthy tunes, but I'd have to add Burning Inside and N.W.O. to the list. :) Makke: ruiner1 at charter d...

Something else...

Lately I've had just about zero inspiration when it comes to music. I've idly played around with a SID or two, as well as a few ideas for originals but it's all been half-hearted. A couple weeks ago I started looking back at some of the other music that inspired me to become a musician to find ideas...

Since I don't use Real Media in any capacity I can't advise you on that, however Windows Media (asf,asx,wmv,etc) while a good quality format doesn't stream worth a crap in my experience, so I pretty much have to download it to view it. ASF Recorder has been quite a friend. :) use a different method ...

Well, you can mail a CD of your tunes to yourself and not open the package. :)

I saw one in a local ad, it piqued my interest, but I doubt it's something I'd ever buy as the only things I can play on a keyboard are bits of Ode to Joy and the first couple bars of Tubular Bells, both of which I play better on guitar :) Now if only someone would come up with a typing keyboard and...

I usually reverb each instrument separately, but that's for rock-style tracks. :) In your case I'd either reverb it all at once, or break it into sections. (left mid right, or the like). Being lazy I'd probably end up doing the whole orchestra at once.
