  1. As a MIDI programmer when it was actually called, DCB, one thing I can tell you and that is, if live and breathe MIDI prgraming, than from what I have come to learn, MIDI is somthing that Pro Tools has not been big on in the past. With that said, dedicated MIDI programs who help to pioneer MIDI both hardware as well as software knew what a MIDI programmer really needed. Companies like Mark of The Unicorn, Cake Walk, Cuebase were immersed in the development of MIDI techology. With that said here is what you must consider before deciding of a program of any kind. (1) Are you heavily involved in MIDI gear? (2) Do you play and write most of your musical instruments on a keyboard? (3) Do you hear music in your head that is beyond your ability to play live? If your answer is "yes" to just one of these, than you require a MIDI based program that also offers real audio tracks and not the other way around. Today most programs offer decent to excellent audio recording capabilities with MIDI as an after thought. However Logic 8 by Apple is MIDI intensive and by no means is MIDI an after thought with Logic 8. FYI. Way back in the mid 1980s, Apple was one of the very first to pioneer MIDI which was actually called DCB back then. Apple from that day forward continued to recognise the importance of interfacing digital musical instruments and with such being the case, Apple's Logic Studio 8 is their continued ongoing effort to meet the demands of the most demanding musical composer. If money is no object and MIDI is not a big deal to you, than Pro Tools is your animal. After all, Pro Tools is the top choice in major recording studios for real time recording. Remember that MIDI programming your songs is really about personal time, as MIDI programing is truly time intensive. Since professional recording studio time costs mega bucks per each hour, pro studios in general are not a conducive place to MIDI program songs from scratch... That is... Unless you own the studio like I do. It's for this very reason why Pro Tools did not focus on MIDI Programing as a primary feature of their software and hardware. However Pro Toolsfrom from what I have read is now starting to take MIDI a lot more serious. Thus you do not want Pro Tools if you lean on MIDI to put your music scores together. Don't get me wrong... As I am sure that Pro Tools does a decent job in regards to MIDI. Just that there are a lot of very important MIDI programing features that Pro Tools can overlook that you will sooner or later wish you had, some of which I have outlined below. Simply said, Pro Tools strength is not MIDI. List of some must haves for MIDI musicians seeking MIDI software. (1) Horizontal MIDI zoom, ESPECIALLY vertical MIDI zoom. (this is a big one!) (2) Drop down menu of a wealth of MIDI program options when right clicking on individual MIDI note in the MIDI edit window. Example: Attack, Sustain, Retain, Decay, After Touch, Patch, Pitch Bender, etc. You need all of these options to make the MIDI instrument of choice sound authentic. (3) Drag mouse cursor over MIDI notes by hand to hear notes in that given window. This is huge! If pro Tools does not allow for this, than Pro Tools is a bust for the hard core MIDI programer. (4) 256 Assignable MIDI tracks. As you know, MIDI only goes up to 16 channels/tracks. After that you must use letters to assign more MIDI tracks. EXAMPLE: MIDI A1-16, MIDI B1-16, MIDI C1-16, MIDI D1-16, MIDI E1-16, etc. Thus if you have lots of MIDI gear like I do, than 16 tracks will not work for you. If you want to quick and easy mixing of percussion tracks, you can easily use 8 to 12 MIDI tracks just for percussion alone! The lesson learned here is simple. If you use MIDI programing as the foundation to putting your music togther like I do, than you want a MIDI based program that also offers real audio tracks side by side. Keep in mind that real audio tracks put a HUGE demand on computer speed, where as MIDI does not. So get the most powerful computer money can buy. (Apple is the only way to go when it comes to audio and video.) After all, Apple computers have been used year after year for the making and mastering the biggest block busters of all time and Apple computers are still Hollywoods choice for the motion picture industry. Pro Tools is more about audio recording, rather than MIDI recording. If you plan on working with your projects in major studios, than you have no choice but to buy Pro Tools, however I would not recommend Pro Tools LE as it's a stripped down version of Pro Tools full version. No doubt the MIDI side of Pro Tools LE will be stripped down as well and that is a big No-NO for MIDI based musicians. For more information you will find me via YouTube user, LogicStudioMadness. Best wish on your next MIDI score! Cheers, Midiman
  2. yeh well what do yu thinkAnyone Write Rap Lyrics? Ive lied to myself, it's stacked on the shelf, I'm feeling the weight, How do-I debate? of the state that I'm in, Now I begin, the twirl I'm within. I'm only fifteen but, lately things've been, getting to me, but now I agree, to pull a firm grin, and take things on the chin. I won't feel down, I'll act a clown, I'll make a devotion with a quotation, bros before hoes. I'm feeling lonely, and the only ones I can trust, sadly are just, me and I. rerun this track, and feel my emotion, make a commotion. -reply by leedo

  4. hey guys the easiest way to resolve high res and black screen issues is to do a system restore (xp,vista) if you are running an older version of windows, just go in safe mode, remove the monitor from device manager, windows will find the monitor as new hardware and set the res. Upon reboot.
  5. I know I'm reviving an old thread here, but for the record I have this problem on a regular basis. I often use a widescreen 16:9 display for my mac, but when I've set up a different configuration of monitors, it's just black. I know the computer's booted up properly because it responds, and thanks to Leopard, I can screen share from another computer and see its screen. I can even adjust display settings, but it doesn't make any difference. I haven't found a perfect fix, but the booting-with-no-cables-in idea sounds promising. In the past, I just toy with it and reboot a lot and eventually it works. - Reply by Dillingham
  6. Its a fakeThe Shroud Of TurinIts a fake. The shroud has the image of the European version of Jesus Christ. Since Jesus was born in the area of Palestine, he should have features of people living in that area and not the features of a European. Look at the old paintings of Jesus from European artists and compare the features with the Shroud. It sure has similar facial features.
  7. I also don't like playing with pro clubs such as chelsea and others I just choose a random team of the german french english turkish dutch competitions and have some cheap players... I recommend 1 "really" fast winger in the back his name is Kyle Walker for like 130k I thought? His overall is just 59 and 18 years old but his speed is 84 already!! If you let this player play a few seasons he will get in the 70's with a speed of 99 -reply by fatih
  8. Online play for GTA:SA has been available for years (there's either MTA or sa:mp). Used to admin a really good RPG server for sa:mp called Chillpoint (http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/) though after the main coder disappearing and no new updates it was eventually taken down. It prob had all the features you would want from GTA online - classes, gangs, props/businesses, animations and all kinds of commands) You can see most of the vids I took from there at DarkWolfAS profile on youtube or search for Chillpoint. Shame it's no longer around, dunno about about the other servers if they're up. Few of us are starting to code a new server that's not related to Chillpoint on a special online mod for GTA:SA that still runs through samp called GTA United. Search for it online. The mod replaces the SA map with both LC and VC. As it uses the SA engine it includes all the player/vehicle mods and some interiors from SA. When the new server is ready we'll be looking for new players if you wanna join us. Will take a little while to get the classes and features coded, but hopefully not too long.
  9. What a dumb question and so many people say the world is being Americanised! It is NOT! I live in Australia, and Australia resembles Canada, the USA , New Zealand and Britain. Put it another way, THE USA resembles Australia, New Zealands, Canada and Britain. It DOES NOT resemble, Paruagay or Sweden or Hungary - in other words - it is the CULTURAL heritage of the British which is similar and has spawned our similarities NOT the American way. As hard as the poor yanks may find this, they have evolved as an extension, albeit a unique extension of the England of the founders and so have we, albeit in OUR unique way, but our similarities are the British similarities - ok sigh if you will, but it's the truth!

  11. Windows Server 2003 - Connect MulticomputersI Have Install Windows 2003 ServerHello, this message is for help to those need a connection of many local PC's to their Windows Server 2003. There is a difference between connecting locally and by geographically. You do not need to install DNS or DHCP. Just install MS WinServr2003, connect router and plug in the computers. Then ADD computers on the server through the Domain Server Application that comes already installed in your operating system. Then fix the parameters on each computer that needs to connect to the server through the router, individually. You need "XP Pro" for the all PC's, and set up a new a workgroup that is the same for all computers. Sorry, but I have very short time explaining this in a more analytical way. Maybe tomorrow.

  19. Well I don't know what kind of awpers you play with, but usually, a smart awper would take cover if he/she misses their first shot. Not just stand there and get hit by enemy fire. Also, if you're playing in against a decent sniper, 0.5 seconds is enough for them to hit you. -reply by aeadg

  21. SATA DISABLED BUT XP NOT INSTALLINGInstalling Windows Xp On A Sata Enabled Desktop/notebook Computer.Replying to odomikeI Have followed the direction and disabled the SATA and it gave me the Blue Screen and let me format the HDD. However, it will not boot any further. Once the computer restarts it goes right to the blue screen again as if to format the HDD again. I have tried to enable the SATA setting in the BIOS and change it to IDE but that does not work. I can't find any SATA drivers for my machine. It is a Compaq Presario desktop PC SR5103WM. Any ideas on how to get XP to finish the install process?Thanks!-question by Eric Gunter
