Never owned a ps3 but I imagine they'll be dirt cheap now, does everything still work including free online for them? I could use the blue ray

I got the three lotr blue ray extended edition set to watch.

The BR on the PS3 is solid. I'd def recommend picking one up cheaply. I probably won't upgrade to PS4 for at least a year. Still haven't even gotten into GTAV yet, and that'll chew up the better part of a year by itself.

In MI sometimes I wear thermal long underwear under my jeans, and then I wear a pair of Carheartt bibs over those.

Its fuucking cold.

What was the bluewine thread? It was MIA by the time I clicked through.

[dozicusmaximus]

Yeah, I'm about ready to finally get a PS3. I still have a huge backlog of games to play on my PS2. Just started Xenosaga. And I have like 10 more RPGs sitting there. That's like 1000hrs or so... haha


New Zelda came out today.

OK, going to vent here for a minute:

So we've been working on recording and mixing our first album since February of this year. Tracked over a few days at my boss's studio, then we've been mixing ourselves for the last 3-4 months. We've been learning as we go, but we're very, very close to being done. It's sounding really good.

Guitar player has decided he needs re-record all of his guitar tracks. He's mentioned it before but we've always talked him out of it. I don't think they need to be redone, neither does our drummer.

Basically he's not happy with the tones, not because they're bad, but because he's upgraded his guitar since then. It was almost a year ago, I'm using a new amp and bass, our drummer has new cymbals, we've all upgraded one thing or another. It's just something that happens, that recording is a document of that time, for better or worse. I'm not going to go back and re-record just because I have nicer stuff now, neither is our drummer.

This thing has stretched out so long, now we're literally 2 weeks from being done and we have to start over recording guitar tracks again. The studio we recorded at is unavailable, so rather than using that we're going to try to record in the practice space.

I'm borrowing some nice mics, but there's a whole lot of high end gear that we no longer have access to and recording good sounding guitar tracks isn't always as easy as it sounds.

So I've been volunteered to be recording engineer for this re-recording project. I like doing this stuff, but I really, really just want this record to be done already. Who knows how long this is going to drag out the process.

Ugh, it'll all work out (hopefully), but I just needed to complain a little bit first.

So you dont have the quality recording equipment you did for the original recording, or the dedicated recording engineer (not dissing your recording skills), and have to downgrade from a studio to an acoustically imperfect practice space... how does he think the end result will come out better than the first????

I'd just say No. At this point you've mixed for so long that its not "his parts" but "our song." I'd put it to a vote and continue on your current path, especially if you're so close now. Tell him you guys can re-record/re-release it when it goes platinum

Going to the Iowa-Michigan game in Iowa City tomorrow. It's gonna be cold as fugg. Minimum four layers.

It was an admin posted a PM he got from bluewine, saying he "knew" people and had hundreds of IPs at his disposal and said he still constantly posts in the gig section. He also basically said everyone was ******** and no one knew more than he did haha.

I enjoy all my appendages right where they are. Although I would let a pretty girl warm one up if it got too cold.

Yeah, fuuck that. I dont care enough about sports to freeze my ass off.

Major +1. Also consider: just because their gear is upgraded, doesn't mean they'll get a better track the next time.

Picked up a BDPG via classifieds. I've read lots of great stuff about this one, we'll see if it works out for me. Of course, I had to make sure it had the weenis on it.

You can't tell people how to feel/think, but he should be more zenlike about it. If there were mistakes, I totally understand, because you have to live with them every time you listen to the recording. If it's just that way after the fact you think you could make it sound better or like your current rig more, save that for the NEXT thing, but finish what's on your plate first.

It was an admin posted a PM he got from bluewine, saying he "knew" people and had hundreds of IPs at his disposal and said he still constantly posts in the gig section. He also basically said everyone was ******** and no one knew more than he did haha.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Every mouthy weekend warrior loser is a secret millionaire/government agent who is old buddies with rock stars and has an enemies list. They just keep it low key for our benefit, so we don't get too jealous, even though they know we ARE.

Yeah, this is what I think and what the drummer thinks. My boss (original recording engineer) has at least $1,000,000 worth of mics, mixers, preamps, outboard processing AND 40+ years of recording experience.

I have none of those things. I'm borrowing some mid-level mics, I have a behringer mixer and guitar player just bought a tascam multi-track recorder. Practice space is in his basement. There's some sheets and **** hanging on the wall, but nothing that really does any good.

...and we've told him NO. Repeatedly. Just no. It's going to be better, for all the reasons listed above. NO.

He won't be persuaded any differently.

Seriously pissed off right now.
