Keyan Farlander Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 OK, who's up for some ODST this week? I'm out of the office, so any time during the day works for me. Street Fighter IV is also a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 went with my friends to see Avatar. I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 OK, who's up for some ODST this week? I'm out of the office, so any time during the day works for me. Street Fighter IV is also a possibility. I'll try to get on when not doing something else... but I do have a LOT of work to do around the house that I just can't put off anymore. I'm also trying to make plans to get out and socialize while I can this week... before I get too busy with work again to have any kind of life. I don't have Street Fighter. Been playing a lot of Forza 3 and IL:2 lately. And I'm really thinking about breaking down and buying the Van Halen version of Guitar Hero. Maybe a couple of older versions of that game or Rock Band.

edlib Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Oh... And I'm really thinking about finally breaking down, and buying the Van Halen version of Guitar Hero... and maybe a couple of the older versions of that game or Rock Band. I'll probably just get one guitar controller at first. Maybe the rest later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Bought a Rock Band guitar controller and a couple of old GH and RB games... and Bioshock. (Game store had them all marked really cheap, and a "buy 2, get 1 free" offer running... so I grabbed a bunch.) The older versions of GH don't like the wireless controller, though, so I'll either have to return them, or get a wired GH controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 damn...red death was only $2 all night...i had jell-o shot, rum and coke, then 4 red death...the last bartender to make me one complained that it wasn't $2 i was like 'hey tyhose guys gave it to me for $2, seriously!' so she ****ed it up and made it like 1/2 151 and 1/2 vodka...damn that drink was strong! anyways LEGEND TONE LOC was on stage, got some pictures i'll upload them when i get a chance to.

We could play that online...although I'm not sure how much fun that would be, not being in the same room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I got RB 1 and 2, and GH 2, 3, & World Tour. Plus Bioshock. (Most under $10... and a couple of them free, thanx to the offer.) It's an idea to play together online... though I'm not very good yet... and when I'm actually home to play. Going out tonight and Wed. for sure. Maybe tomorrow night too. Hanging with M. and her friends and co-workers in Chinatown tonight. Meeting up with a co-worker from Berklee Wed. to tweak the P.A. at her church and have dinner with her. Maybe Avatar in IMAX tomorrow, if anyone is around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det. Bart Lasiter Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Another audio question for ed: what type of mics would you recommend for micing up a drum kit, plus a bass amp and guitar amp for recording that aren't ridiculously expensive? Also, how many mics would you recommend for the drum kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 You can record a drum kit with one mic, if that's all you got. You just have to place it out in the room a bit in front of the kit. Where your ears tell you it all sounds balanced: put the mic there. Some great recordings have been made with this method. For jazz, I typically use 4 mics: Kick; Snare; Overhead left and right. Any good moving coil for the K (M88) and S (M201); nice condensers for the OHs (C 414). For Rock and funk, I mic the whole kit: Kick Inside: Beta 91 Kick Outside: Beta 52 Snare Top: Beta 57 Snare Bottom: SM 57 Hi Hat: C451 Floor Tom: Beta 98 D Rack Tom 2: " Rack Tom 1: " OH L: TC 30K OH R: " Of course, depending on budgets and inputs, you can go with anything in between. Bass: Take direct. You can mic the amp too... any good moving coil will work. (MD 421) Guitar: SM 57. On the amp. Will do the job. (Unless you can get a POD or SansAmp.) They sell drum mic kits. Thing about those kits is that you can use the mics in them to record the other signals too... unless it all has to be done simultaneously. Though I would recommend tracking the drums first with a scratch bass and guitar track... then replacing the other tracks later as overdubs. You can always rent mics from local stores or sound companies if you can't afford to buy. How are you tracking these? Through a board? Or straight into a computer? And what is it going to be for? And what style of music? OK... so I hung with M. and some of her friends. Had a giant dinner in Chinatown. It was a good time. One of her friends I met tonight is a professional football player... but not in the NFL or AFL... but the LFL... that is to say, the Lingerie Football League. Yeah. Life is damn good some days. Not very often... but sometimes... Here's her team: http://www.lflus.com/nymajesty/team.html So... I think I need to make a trip to New York to see some sporting events now...

Keyan Farlander Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 isn't your sis pregnant? No, her son is 16 months old now. This is a different guy. And I already warned him what would happen if he touched her. I think we...understand one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zargon Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 nice my jeep took a dump xmas eve so I came back a little early to fix it one of the shoes braking material delaminated from the metal and was bouncing around inside the drum, that was fun to fix, my garage is frigging in the mid 30's right now other than that I drove 600 miles th-s to see the various families, most of it in the snow in **** road conditions, so not worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 just got back from the gym...decided against calling my one friend that goes with me, cause nearly every single time it takes him an hour to get ready by the time i stop at his place to pick him up, even when i call him an hour in advance. the gym was packed with buncha college kids, so i just ran the treadmill for 25 minutes then left. I'm going down there every day, not so much doing the weight lifting, just the cardio so i can lose 20-40 pounds. my plan is do about 20 minutes on treadmill, 20 minutes on bike, and 20 minutes on the gazelle thingy. that should help me drop the weight fast. plus cutting out alot of fast food.

Zargon Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 proper food intake is all you need to lose weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 yeah but i doin't know what foods to eat, that's my problem. for breakfast i eat a bowl of oatmeal. for lunch i eat macaroni & cheese or a sandwich, and for supper it's usually 2 hot pockets since it's cheap. ($2) find me something for around $2 that won't make me hungry 10 minutes after i eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Spent the day doing laundry and playing games... and napping. Whoo-Hoo! Super excitement overload!!! But I sure didn't want to go outside... it's freaking FREEZING out there. M. woke me up calling my cell this morning. She was in tears. Lot of drama... her credit card and license stolen... a friend said something rather cruel... family issues... Talked to her for over an hour about it. It was an interesting start to the day. Not at all what I would expect... I'm still not sure what to make of it all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
