Nitro Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 The plan was to do multi-track... The 44's got four input channels, so the plan was to mic the two amps, use the other two to mic the drums, then lay down vocals after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I played Jedi Academy all day trying to get all the way to the dark side..didn't have the heart to kill Rosh the first time i played it. Watched Dark Water....that movie was weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyan Farlander Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I always take the "bad path" in games once just to see what happens. Other than that, I never do. Because even when I win it feels like I've lost. I don't even like destroying Rebels in TIE Fighter. Fortunately, much of the game is focused on fighting Zaarin.

Rogue15 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 i hear ya there...it took me forever in kotor to get the courage to go to the dark side, when i did i felt bad as i had 'no other choice' ;] but to kill off all my characters. in Jedi Academy/JK it is so much more fun to go darkside tho...and i LOVE the saber battles, and i'm just learning the combos and **** like the strong kata w/the strong stance, that just kicks ass. i just wish there was an easier way on the Xbox to change force powers, like hot key them to different buttons such as the white and black ones, which never seem to get used? at least it would make sense to use force rage then, otherwise it's just a suicide power. lame. i'm looking for a copy of Jedi Outcast, since i never did complete that...reason being, i had the dloaded full version of it, on my old compaq and the swamp level pretty much killed it. -_- never got to play the mp on either, well jedi academy i did, but it was very weird on xbox live. *recalls how much FUN original JK and MotS were on pc...* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yeah, the only game I ever had any real fun with online was Jedi Knight/Mysteries of the Sith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyan Farlander Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I love XWA, and the X-Wing series are my favorite games of all time, but for multiplayer, XWA wasn't that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Gunray Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 XWA online was a barrel of no fun. And I sucked too much at JK/ROTS to have fun online. The only online games I ever had any fun with were all xbox games on Live. And flight sims like F-22 Lightning 3 and Combat Flight Simulator 2. I briefly cracked the top 50 on live in NCAA Football 06, for example. Now that's a game I'm good at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 I've never had the slightest bit of luck with any online game... so I just don't bother even trying anymore. All my online experiences follow the same script: *Join game* "Hmm... doesn't look so ba..." *Dead* *Re-Spawn* "OK... that won't happen this ti..." *Dead* *Nasty Taunt* *Re-Spawn* "Gotta keep Movin..." *Dead* *Really nasty taunt* "Damn It!" *Re-Spawn* "I'll run left immedia..." *Dead* "Oh, F*** ME!!!" *Re-Spawn* "I'll just start firing continuously in a 360-degree arc then..." *Dead* *Super nasty taunt* "S***, S***, S***!!!! The Hell with this." *Quit Game* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 lmao...i remember the original Descent, that S1DC guy claimed he could beat me, so we set up a LAN and i kicked his ass royally. I REALLY miss playing Mysteries of the Sith...the levels i made for mp were the best, that one...named after our favorite admin, Ike..that was the best, most balanced map i made, and VERY fun with the Manowars 3 mod. i can't wait to get broadband so i can try out Jedi Academy.

Keyan Farlander Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 PC version of Jedi Academy? We should get an XWA'er game going some time. I've only played it multiplayer once or twice. I was pretty bad. But whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Yeah,.. count me in if you ever get that going. I might not hate it so much if I was playing against people I know. I'm sure I'll still suck just as bad though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 o trust me playing w/people u know is so much more fun. i'll be picking up a copy of the pc version when i get broadband, right now don't think aol would cut it. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildstar Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Nute I'm not sure, but XWA might be supported by XFire. I know XFire supports XvT/BoP, so it's worth a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Here's a quandry for ya, ed... I went and got the Delta 44, and I've also got an old 3-channel mixer (meaning I've got 6 inputs in total: 3 straight to the PC, and 3 through the mixer to the PC). We're a 3-peice (guitar, bass, drums). What's the best use of those 6 inputs? Suggestions for specific mics would be more then appreciated as well. Oh, and in case you're wondering, vocals would be tracked seperatly, so don't worry about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 I would use the mixer on the drum kit (left & right overhead, and kick drum; or kick, snare, mono overhead) then bass and guitar. Mix it to one or 2 inputs of the 44. Kick: AKG D112, Shure Beta 52, Beyerdynamic M88, Electrovoice RE-20 Snare: Shure SM-57, Sennhieser 421 Overheads: Anything by Earthworks (TC-30, TC-40...) AKG C3000, AKG 414, Shure SM 81, or any condenser. (These will need phantom power, though.) Otherwise, a halfway decent moving coil mic that is still in good shape will work, but not ideal. Guitar: Shure SM-57, Sennhieser E-604 Bass: Go direct if you can. Any passive or active direct box will suit that purpose. The Radial ones are real nice, especially the ones with the Jensen Transformers. You can't go wrong with a Countryman Type-85, either, but that needs phantom too. Many amps these days already have some kind of direct output built in already. Often this works just as well... If you have to mic the amp, then a Electrovoice RE-20, or anything that I listed for the kick will also work. Not ideal though... Some of these mics are pretty expensive. But every band should have a couple of SM-57's and 58's just to have. At least 2 of each. These will do the job until you can get the proper gear. If it were me, I would make each member of the band responsible for the getting the mics you are going to use on his instrument: The drummer should buy the drum mics, the bassist should get the direct box, etc... That way they own the mics, and can use them in other situations. This will make the club gigs a lot more predictable if you all travel with your own equipment. I'm a firm believer that EVERY vocalist should own their own mic that's best for their voice. Why not every bassist having their own D.I. box? Every guitarist carrying his own amp mic? Every drummer carrying a set of mics for their kit? It usually simplifies the sound guy's job if they do. The Musician's Friend catalog often sells drum kit mic packs... that might be a cheaper solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyan Farlander Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Happy Valentine's Day all. Man, I'll be 25 in two weeks and I haven't been on a date since I was 19. Only ever went out with one girl, in fact. But we dated for four years. I do miss her. Ah well, that's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
