Yeah granted.

A mate of mine who runs a studio of his own swears by cubase, but i'm just more of a purist.. hate working with MIDI if i can avoid it, and therefore just slipped in to ProTools at a time when Cubase 5 was still Steinberg's latest offering. Must say, nuendo is good but it feels too much like they always wanted it to be called Cubase 1.5 lol

Indeed mate, I would far prefer working with nothing but mics and instruments all day long. Unfortunately I'm a pretty bad drummer, and not the best pianist around so use MIDI to make up for that. Guitar is more my thing (ABRSM Grade 8 classical guitar with distinction at age 12) :)

It wouldn't be a problem if I was content with just taking acoustic demo's in to the studio but I like to have a pretty complete idea of the arrangement before a producer gets his hands on it. Hence the need for MIDI.

Back in the Cubase VST (5) days it was awful. ProTools was leagues ahead back then. When SX was released they combined it with Nuendo. Now in SX version 3 the only difference between Cubase and Nuendo is that Nuendo has extra features for video production and also allows full surround sound mixing. As far as quality-wise for audio, they are now identical. :)
 
Yeah.. I own a copy of SX 2 and 3 and "found" a copy of nuendo *whistles*

However, if you ever want to record one of these arrangements, and dont fancy a producer hanging over your neck (I know how that feels!!) drop me a line, i'm sure i could fit you in :)

Sadly, though the last time i truly arranged something from scratch was back in the days of Sibelius 1, and that was just an arrangment.. not even my own composition.

Ninja Edit: I play guitar.. not graded or nothing, but I have my own demo (funded by a grant off the Prince's Trust) :D

I'll bare that in mind cheers dude, though I doubt I would be able to find the time to pop over to Swansea. But you never know! :p
 
Ok well I got studios in Swansea, Pontypridd and Caerphilly if you can make it over the border ;)

Sorry to take it off topic, email / msn in trust if you want it dude.

Nite all xx

Three studios! :eek: Now thats just plain greedy! :p

I'm officially envious. :)

Likewise with the email mate... OMG it's gone 3am! Bed for me too.
 
Gordy, you've saved the thread. :cool:

I also had no idea today was highfive day. What is OCUK doing to celebrate the event??

Okay people gather round.... Prepare yourselves for....

The official HIGH-FIVE anthem!!!

Note: This is not a serious attempt by any means, please don't judge me on this! I tried to make it as stupid as possible. Oh and I am probably the worlds worst rapper but don't care... ENJOY! :D

Sorry a bit late picking up on it, but that is awsome.

Inspired by GordyR's superb effort, I've got a little something I'm working on but there's no way it'll be done in one night. I'll probably have more time over the weekend but for now I'm keeping it under my hat. <-- That's a clue, but the subject matter is so utterly insane you'll never guess it from that. :D

Ohhh sounds interesting Belmit... I can't wait! Hmmm I'm gonna have to end up turning "high-five" in to a proper production if you're going to be spending a whole weekend on yours! :p
 
Right, i've remixed it... Added some extra harmonies and played with the EQ on the vocals etc. It's still pretty cruddy to be honest but I don't have the time to turn it into a real production. This is only for a laugh anyway. :p

It's the same link as before, I have just replaced the file. If you still want the old version Otacon mirrored it.

I didn't think I could make this song any more stupid... But I succeeded towards the end... Enjoy! :D

Awesome... there is just something a little odd on the vocal sound, sorta like you were recording in a small room? Genius anyway.

Lol that would be because I whacked my mic something stupid like 2 feet away from me and was reading the lyrics off of my computer screen facing in the opposite direction to the microphone. :p

As I said it was done as quickly as possible, purely for a laugh. I didn't record anything properly. No dampening to stop reflections or anything. I just wanted to get it down. It's about the comedy value nothing else. :)
 
That High-Five thing is awesome. If it was accompanied by a slick flash anim it would go viral for sure. :)
