Thanks a million. Ive been making these awesome songs on my keyboard and want to know how to - if you play a guitar, you know, when you use the bar to sort of bend the notes. Ive tried using the pitch blend without sucess. Any way, thats in advance, I really need this one! --- RBBSMail v18.1 * Origin: The High Frontier RBBS / Holmdel, N.J.

Ive gotten pretty good(For six months of tracking-and no musical background), but I dont think I could compete with Necro's just yet. Ive heard some of his stuff and it's quality. I also heard Levithians tune from MC3 "wanderlust" it took 4'th(beat ya by 2!). Those guy's are all experienced trackers. So if you took 6'th you definately rank with the best f em! There's no fair way of winning them contest's, as everyone has different taste in music. But still, it would be a great feeling to take 1'st place though! :) MM> SW> But, Oh well! Im still enjoying it! MM> MM> That's the whole point! I'll be looking forward to hearing your tune(s). MM> You have an alias yet? Snowman just gave me the handle of "Blue Max" and MM> I kinda' like it. In fact, I think it's stuck. :) Im not sure now if Im gonna enter the MC4. I have been working on this one tune for a couple days, but if I cant finish it to my liking I'll wait until next year. Blue Max is a cool handle. I go by the name of "Seraphim". But, I may be changing it once again. I was thinking of "The Unknown Author" or something along them lines.

MM> I want to ensure noone uses my samples for the contest. :) Great, I'l check em out one of these days(just got to get someone with internet access to download em for me!). Paranoid about them samples eh! Must have one heck of a tune made! I look forward to hearing it. I guess, it would suck if you uploaded it, only to find out that some bonehead ripped your samples and ended up taking 1'st place at the MC4 as a result so I think your playing it safe is best! :) Have a good one Markell, Godbless!

But-O well! The upgrade was needed. Did you mean in the above uote that it is possible to get around the one meg memory barrier? Or were you refering to downsizing samples and code?

Didnt know it was a tracker also! I'll definately check it out. I have scream tracker 3.2 , digitracker 3.1, fastracker 2.06 and impulse tracker 2.1 . The best of them n my opinion is digitracker 3. Impulse Tracker is simular to scream tracker (with 64 channels for soundblaster/32 for Gus), but the playback is noisy to say the least. In fact, I think it has the worst audio playback of any racker that was made! But, ive only tried it on a GUS, a sounblaster might sound better.

I recalled you mentioned it in one of your post's on here and that you planned to enter it into the MC4! Hehehehe, didnt mean to scare ya! :) I'll look for it after the contest though and let ya know what I think of it. Hey if you see a tune there called "Victorious and Triumphant" Grab it. It's the tune I may enter into the contest(Rookie level). Sampled almost a meg of guitar for it and am hoping that it would place within the top ten for my level but, I wont be disapointed if it doesnt do quite that good either.
