cheers!

Does that go into the user script folder?! I don't seem to get it to work...

Correct... But you have to install a keyboard shortcut program. Let me interject here and say having the midi tracks done ahead of time really increases your efficiency and workflow.

Is the .length in the song length or the length of the array?

array.... correction replace 'weight' with 'girth'

That's what I thought, the length threw me off there for a sec.

yeah getting off topic sorry.

Hey Shadx i just listened to your Buttrock bandcamp tracks. Cool drum programming. What sample library did you use?

Ha, thanks. That was from my old drum machine, the Boss DR5. Well, the 1st 2 tracks were done in Orion so they were custom drum kits for the drum racks in Orion. Either the drum kit was native or put together by another user. Those first 2 were specifically made for trying to mimic realistic drum playing. The stuff done in Acid was some of the first stuff not being recorded on 4-track so I was still using old gear like the DR5 for drum programming. Never really planned on writing songs at that point, they were all some kind of exercise to practice mixing, learning synths and fx, computer music in general. Before that it was a lot of acoustic songs in a 4-track, after breaking up with 'the band'. Oh, our silly egos.

Still got a couple lil albums to put up there, like the softer more sensitive non-distorted electric guitar and video game music, which should complete the 2nd Volume of the 5-Part 'I Have So Much Baggage I Don't Know Which And What To Throw Out First' Ghost & Vessel Series.

TMI?

I'm still waiting to hear back for the go on the Lifetime channel mini-series.
Plus hey, I'm an old-school rock musician, don't think I don't have a messiah complex.

Like yer one to talk

oh wait it say's that at the bottom /shrug

No not too much TMI...
i know about baggage. so much material never see the light of day. recently produced and engineered an LP... usually the leftovers get lost after reformatting drives, etc. this time around left the stems in a cloud for y'all to mess with.

More sensitive? Strike me a lemon. Are you getting emo on us?

he followed the path of Corgon.

Oh, calm down, it's from the early 2000's. It's like reflective pondering in a "it was supposed to be a joke, I wasn't making of you I was making fun of the situation babe, come on don't leave, boy I really fucked up and she's gone forever" sort of way.

So it's been "quiet" around here lately…
