Yeay!

I just realized that the chart really is interactive--as you mouse over the graphic, additional information pops up.  Very cool.  Much better than the old ones (up to third generation xeroxes and mimeographs ) that I found in my old teaching materials.

Thanks!

Originally posted by LightsOnLogan The W2E defaults are not the best for most tasks.  Once we are caught up with the bug list and have the next version out I'll spend a bit more time explaining the advanced options (right now only an audio engineer can fully appreciate them) and will make some recommendations for specific music selections.

I've been wrapping my ears around the settings, and I've been able to focus on bass or vocals with a little trial-and-error.  The problem is that I do most of my sequencing at night, and the piano is in the other room (sleeping wife/children  ).  With frequencies I'm fairly accurate, but I need to tap on a piano/keyboard for musical notes to make much spectral sense to me.  I do like the spectrogram, but I'm a bit too colorblind to fully take advantage of it as yet.

So I'm browsing the web for a note/frequency cheat sheet for now.

ugh.... I just for the first time actually output to one of the ACx16s.... I'm getting a headach from the twweaking that'll need to be done already.

We've been cutting out the afternoon TV watching since school started, so I haven't seen these two shows.  But a quick YouTube search revealed this.  Total Drama Island (the third intro in the clip) looks similar to the Danny Phantom/Fairly Odd Parents genre, but much more dorky and with less redeeming value.  But then again, if you hung out with my almost nine-year-old son and his friends, you would hear a lot of dorky things coming from their mouths too, so these shows are just playing to their audiences tastes.

Now....if any of these comes out with a Christmas episode, then we'd have some great sequences for the kiddies!

"Great" being totally subjective, mind you. 

Originally posted by Pony_God HA! At least you could do purple for Barey, green for the sis?, and orange for the other kid.

Now THAT is really pathetic!

You know you have kids when....

You can name the main characters of at least three PBS/Noggin morning shows (or three Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network/Toon Disney afternoon shows).

Or maybe it's more pathetic that I can differentiate between the kid networks AND tell you what time each age group's programming is on......and what cool stuff is on each of their web sites.

Okay...I really need to get out more.....
