Those couple paragraphs at the top of the forum we all skip over ... the details are in there. 😁 And it appears to have been updated recently. fwiw I see nothing wrong with anything that's been posted since I started hanging out here again. I haven't even seen a single post by anyone that has upset me in the least. I do know it's coming from above the mods and they have nothing to do with it. I'm just happy to be alive and here with like minded folks. If they want it strictly music related I'm ok with that but there are ways around it. For example start a Humble Pie thread and post a vid. Then go off with the pie pics. I'd consider myself lucky (special?) that a couple of the huge OT threads are still there based off what I've seen happening lately and the updated TOS. I still can't believe my thread with the pic of a stupid box with a clown on it got axed. LOL. How much pull do the clownies have? They're like .0000002% of the population. What are they gonna do retaliate by spritzing us in the eye with seltzer water? Nail us with a hand buzzer? Make an anatomically incorrect balloon animal? Clowngate 2021.

Here is part of the soundtrack if anyone is interested. This is actual game footage. It looks better than this compressed video and there are mods to where you can make it look even better but still, this is pretty incredible. There is also a Day version of this too. The music is excellent. It's an actual real orchestra, no midi. This is what is included on that 4 LP set.

That's great! I get that. I'm more in to the graphics and story aspect of it now. I like to shoot IRL but the old style cap and ball black powder. I keep the real ones locked away. I like the process you have to go through to load and be accurate with the old school black powder arms. Lot's of smoke and noise.

PC gaming is more of a money pit than DAW PC's and requires a never ending array of tweaking patches and adjustments. A DAW you just set it and forget it for the most part. The hardware required to keep up with the ever changing graphics requirements is a never ending money drain also. It's going to change in the near future though. Everything is going to streaming. Internet speeds are getting to the point where it's better to have the game run in a dedicated high powered server and you simply play it remotely via your ISP. Amazon and Sony are doing it now and it works pretty good with less graphically intense games at the moment. I switched to Playstation many years ago but they slowly turned in to a function limited, GPU deprived, vastly slower PC and ruined it. Every game now on release day has a patch some the size of the original game install. If you want to access any aspect of the game online such as in game purchases, mods, dlc, playing against others, Sony forces you to do the update and locks you out of doing anything online until you do update. Same with their system software. I'm a PS fanboi. Now that the studio (Bethesda) that makes the only games I play just got bought by Microsoft all future games are Xbox and PC only so I'm jumping ship.

Fixed. 🤠

I wouldn't hesitate to grab that as long as the neck is good and can be adjusted. Checking for adjustability is the hard part though. You can't tell until you take strings off and actually try to adjust the rod. If it's stuck you're screwed. I bought a used Sheraton II at G.C. about 10 years ago. I love it. $245 iirc with Epi logo'd hardshell case. Like new. Lefty. Craig is right about the electronics. They were all loose and crackly. I dripped a tiny amount of denatured alcohol in the pots and switch and worked it in really good. I also took apart the jack and cleaned, sanded, tightened, and greased it. So far so good 10 years later. I also recommend going to Epiphone's web site and downloading the setup instructions for it. It made an enormous difference and it felt like a completely different guitar afterwards.

There was a time when you could create a repeatable scenario to make it happen. The global On/Off button on the Pro Chan. came about from my and others discussions about it on the old forum. It was only when "real" people in "real" studios started saying "yeah we're seeing it happen too" that they even attempted to do anything about it. Prior to that it was the stock "works here and for the fanboi's. Must be your system.". I haven't seen it happen in CbB but I avoid the Pro Chan like the plague. I never trusted it after all that with X1 and X2.

After all these years being stuck at native 120Hz I'm starting to think there must be some kind of hardware/technical limitation as to why it's not better. When I hook my 4K player up to my old 1080P LCD TV and play a 4K disc it is smoother than my 4K player to my newer 4K TV. And it looks great. Both TVs set to native refresh (120). I'm assuming the smoother playback is due to the downscaling. That's why I'm guessing going from an 8K source to a 4K or 1080 TV would yield the same benefits with even better resolution. Good point about the size of 8K. Makes we wonder if it would be a streaming thing only or if they have advanced lossless compression. Youtube has some 8K videos now. I can stream them as well as 4K but they don't play properly on my older hardware.

The benefit is more to do with motion rates I think. They still have a hard time with motion blur. 4K is smoother downscaled to 1080p so I would assume 8K downscaled to 4K or 1080p would be even better but I don't really know?? I pre-ordered the brand new 4K scan and restoration of Dawn Of The Dead. Should be here by the end of the week. I cannot wait.

I hear ya brother. I hate it when I get them home and find out too late they're actually a ram.

So it must be ok to post bikini pics in the proper forum then. Good to know ... BRB ...

I normally don't even touch my DAW/PC from spring till fall. But the prices on this stuff just keep going up. I figure if I'm ever going to buy something I should probably do it now. I've been waiting all winter for gpus to go down but they've been consistently going up. They recently remastered Crysis ... in 8K. Allegedly it will run on PS4 Pro with ray tracing.

The Pro Channel would shut up randomly all by itself. That's why I stopped using it originally.

It really is an incredible game. That is a video from the original release I think. It can look a lot better. I'm waiting now for a quote for a gaming system that can play this, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and Fallout 4 modded with high res textures. Can't wait to get it. It takes a lot to run these hi res even though they are older. It can take years to play these games. Especially modded on a PC. That's why they are all still so popular and people are still making advanced mods for all of them. That link to the LPs says it's out of stock but they just re-released it on their site in a different section. The new listing didn't have the track list so I posted the old one. 👍

Just post a picture of a storage box with a clown face on it and call it Clown Storage. They'll rip the m.f. right off the forum.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Ultimate Edition Vinyl Box Set 4xLP How can they call this the "Ultimate Edition" when they don't even include Ragnar The Red?

It that were the case there would be no forum left.

I hear he has a bass guitar too but I'm not sure. And big feetses.

That was mean Craig. Shame on you. Ed, it's not the size of the squirrel that matters, it's how deep he buries his walnuts in the yard that sets him apart from other squirrels.

CbB's don't really apply to modern standards. I use them as basic input level rough guides but I use 3rd party stuff for mixing and mastering in my tiny little home studio world. Studio One is set up great for mixing and mastering and to be honest that's what I use 99.9% of the time now. Because of online streaming service compression and the way most of us share music now it's more important than ever to get levels in a happy place.

Meh. Who knows. It's happened before. *shrugs shoulders* There's plenty of other daws out there so I wouldn't worry. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Careful now. You're getting dangerously close to being OT. (On Topic) My fist entry into midi was ... I can't remember.
