I would not recommend Music Creator 7 to a beginner. If you want to play around with something mostly similiar to the midi-workstation stuff in MC7, try Nanostudio out which has a learning curve of its own. I believe that the windows and mac desktop versions are free. http://www.blipinteractive.co.uk/download.php The biggest reason I wanted to use MC7 is that I miss having a looping staff-view which is the way I used to make songs a decade ago. I'll make a short video to show what I'm talking about, but basically I like to have traditional western musical-notation that I can write midi with. There are probably better programs to do this with, but I don't know what they are. Oddly a japanese import DS game called Daigasso! Band Brothers! is the best other option I am aware of. After you beat the rhythm-game campaign, you can write midi in staff-view. Somehow my physical cartridge just stopped working though, and of course it was lacking in options. I'd be interested in hearing other recommendations for digital audio workstations that allow folks to make midi in staff-view. NanoStudio is pretty great, but there is no staff-view. You can write songs with a piano-roll which is like punching holes out of paper for a player-piano roll of music, but there is no staff-view. The synths in NanoStudio are also really fun to play with, but are a bit more toyish than the synths that come with MC7. With MC7: -I paid $35 for it -The official documentation is alright. -There doesn't seem to be a substantial community doing things like making tutorials. -I had to update the audio-driver on my motherboard to get the playback to stop skipping. -You have to pay $10 for the license to export to .mp3 -There are additional, DLC synth-packs that assumably integrate well into MC7. -The learning curve is pretty steep since the interface is Blenderesque in its willingness to try and do something for everyone. -I don't regret the purchase, but it takes a considerable time-investment to get to the point where you are noodling. I'll make a video to show you what I've figured out so far. That way you can see the midi workflow (or atleast what I know of it).

So I've been telling a bunch of people in physical space that I'm going to make music for a while and I eagerly waited to buy Music Creator 7 from the steam-sale. I spent the day trying to figure out the basic navigation of making a simple midi song in the fairly complex mess that is the newest prosumer-level iteration of Cakewalk. The included synths are pretty great. I just spent the last two hours or so making this. It's enough to get me thinking about what I'm going to do with all the 15 second loopable songs. I might put them into a Unity jukebox of some sort. It doesn't matter too much. Just picking synths and moving notes around on the staff and changing pans and volume-velocities to taste is a pleasant way to spend the evening.

Elizabeth Warren tries to explain to us the fundamental problem with the trade-agreement that president Obama and the Republican leadership are trying to pass through in secret. This could be a huge disaster to attempts to increase worker's rights and environmental standards worldwide. http://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/2015/06/23/warren/CJluXWm4B5VDTdUDsCkwEL/story.html

For the week of June 22nd, 2015 we will be playing: Ancient Warriors by thecatamites You can play the game in your browser here. You can download the single game from here for free Or you can buy the entire collection of 50 games from here.

If it's so dumb and pointless then then why do so many folks (especially women) seem to pay so much attention to it and talk about it as if it's a valuable form to appreciate? I think that you may just need some foundational techniques that can help you start to enjoy fashion unless you want to just constantly reaffirm that it is stupid. Join us Zeusthecat.

I picked up: -The Last Federation (looks like my thing, I want to negotiate relations between parties who have a sense of agency and power) -Music Creator 7 (I got addicted to using pirated Cakewalk circa 2000, I was listening to some of the midi-songs I made back then and I want to make some more using a similar workflow (staff view)) Trip (I haven't played Proteus, but I plan to play it and this when I'm in an exploratory mood) Tomb Raider (xbox gold and PsPlus have expired for me and this is the game I keep thinking about having lost) - Far Cry 2 (I don't play my 360 any more and I've been wanting to play some Far Cry 2 again)

This is what I got out of the first article and it corroborates pretty well with what we've heard about the de facto dress-code (the male-dominant social pressure to look like you don't care about your appearance) in the games industry. That second review was pretty interesting. I had no idea that Aisha Tyler had been so clever with her clothes and it was nice to see it pointed out so I could appreciate it.

I haven't played it yet, but from what I've seen of Gigantic, I think it might execute on the ideas of Minimum better. The beta starts in August. I have high hopes.

I enjoy that Groaning At My Baby is putting the more daily failings of a romantic relationship into the context of blues-music, but I have a hard time accepting the decision to not add a few bars of slow, regrettful blues. So I recommend listening to this as you play: I said I'd help her clean. But I only have a few days off and I don't want to waste this one sweeping. Do we have to do it today? The mildew can wait another week. It's the hottest it's been all year. She's doing so much work, it makes me feel so, so, so very bad.

If you get stuck please post about it. There is a lot of expertise on this forum. I'll help whenever I can.

I'm caucasian and I've heard that I'm welsh and scottish or something. I haven't investigated my ethicity beyond that.

Here are some thoughts on it. https://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/topic/9899-minimum/ I've given up on it after getting caught on the geometry during fire-fights and just being generally unpleased with the synergy of classes. I'm looking forward to Gigantic to see if they execute on the idea better.

A review of men's fashion during E3 press-conferences. Summary: not very interesting. http://killscreendaily.com/articles/let-consider-menswear-e3/?utm_content=buffer54a8e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

But aren't there race-problems in other countries too?

I'm interested in hearing them, but I won't assume you are much of an authority since saying that americans find David Letterman and Saturday Night Live funny is like saying australians travel by kangaroo.Also, the only thing I know about race relations in Australia is from a Vice documentary about Wadeye https://www.vice.com/video/heavy-metal-gangs-of-wadeye-1-of-2

I don't think culture is more important than anyone's safety or ability to live as an equal. IMO, the ideal would be that everyone could chose what cultures they want to take part in and if there isn't one they like they can find some folks and make a new one.

I recommend pushing them together to make a hot-tubbish cushion thing.

One use of culture as a scale for perspective is that it provides us with an acceptance that there are different social contexts. Culture is inextricable from socialization. I'm having a hard time talking about the value of culture without just talking about the value of interacting within a group of people. Personally, I have an attraction to cultures as systems of aesthtics, priorities, techniques, landscapes, art, and paradigms. The closest analogy I can think of is musical genres or game-worlds. Forgetting the value of socialization within groups, my appreciation of culture is similar to enjoying the similarities, differences, and hypothetical influences between musical genres and game-worlds.

Sweet-tea is a more unifying symbol of Southern culture.Also: grits. Folks need to forget the flag and start bragging about the food.

During the PC Gamer/AMD E3 thing the developers seemed excited about Directx12. I assume that's only going to be on Windows 10. I'm going to upgrade this fall and hope everything I use continues to work.

This is called "good art".I haven't played Persona 4 or Catherine. I love it when artists take risks like trying to talk about sacred things, if they also take clear criticism about how they fell short.

I'm pretty sure that Oculus is funding some games so I would think the results would be exclusives.

It's very challenging and very satisfying. The game focuses on maintaining supply-lines. I played 6 or so missions over and over again about a year ago and I enjoyed it a lot. I'll probably finish the campaign at some point, but I haven't.

So I'm really excited about non diablo-likes using Lords Management mechanics, but Lords Management is too loaded of a concept and games are using mixtures of the game-mecahnics associated with that genre. I'm excited about competitive farming in Titanfall's attrition mode and assumably in the new Halo. Gigantic looks like it will have some amount of single-lane pushing where your team will be trying to give your titan an advantage over the opposing team's titan (which is what Minimum executes poorly upon). I'm not as excited about that. I like to farm creeps and buff friendly creeps when they are many. I'm hoping that For Honor has some farming going on too. Could these game modes be called "competitive farmers"? Or is there a name that exists that would help me find more of them?

Here is a start. I hate slideshow websites though
