    I liked Texas and I Swang. Pretty good stuff man.

    If you are talkin old school, Ive always LOVED DJ Magic Mike! Im sure youve heard of him before. The best one album was the cartoon image of him scratchin on a table. Dont remember the name but it was sick. Lower the Dynamite was the hot track. Anything like that?

    You mean Bass is the Name of the Game? :)

    I like most of what I've listened to on your site. Nice talent. I do like the old school stuff with clean clear bass notes followed and tied together with highs.

    Thanks man I really appreciate the kind words. The demo track I linked to above has the fast high-to-low bass kicks like old Beat Dominator or Bassotronics stuff, they're just really hard to hear on regular speakers... The constant bassline you hear throughout the song is mainly just for fill, honestly if it intrudes into the subwoofer range I want to reduce the volume and EQ shape it a bit so the low end is purely dedicated to the kicks. If all that makes any sense. lol!

    Class Act Productions is the branding I give all of my production services, from beat creation, to recording, mixing, etc. etc.

    Yes I use FL Studio stuck with it all the way from version 3 up to 9 now :) Most of the tracks listed on that soundclick account are some of my earlier endeavors... the more "complex" ones I guess you could say are more recent lol

    OK, well I kinda made this little demo in bout an hour before I read your post chop... it's more of a fast paced track & if someone could give it a listen in the car I would appreciate it (even if you guys want to go in another direction with this, I just want to make sure the bass levels aren't too loud for whatever track I do... using studio monitors but they're nothing compared to actual subwoofers ;))

    Here is the link

    I have some more music on my MySpace page and the CAP MySpace page as well, finished songs that is

    Chop: Which part of the song were you referring to? The intro with Katt Williams or when I came in?

    Started working on one idea today, just to see where it takes me... it's sounds more along the lines of the old school bass songs circa early 90's (Bass I love you, 1,2,3,4,5,6 Bass anyone?) but would you guys prefer something like that, or something that sounds more modern along the lines of rap/hip-hop?

    Well, stepped outside about 10 this morning to the scene below:

    This is the front building of my apartment complex, the area you see with the damage is a small beauty shop renting a space next to our apartment office. Apparently what happened was an elderly lady stepped on the gas instead of the brake (seems to happen a lot, doesn't it?), effectively turning the salon into a drive-thru. Nobody was hurt thank goodness, the woman was taken to the hospital as a precaution. To be honest, the car doesn't look too damaged for what it did to the damn building, but then again who knows what kind of damage there might be to the framework.

    I know this has nothing to do with the recent Toyota recalls, it just made a catchy title ;)

    When I get old, somebody PLEASE take my keys away! :captain:

    The fear of the unknown and the potential of the mind.

    You said the magic words right there. There are so many mysteries about the universe that we've yet to figure out, the human mind included, but if people would learn to accept what is "different" or "outside the norm" we can continually make steps toward figuring it out. It's the closed-minded idiots that halt the forward progress of civilization but hopefully natural selection will weed them out ;)

    Like I said, I do come from a religious background, so that and my parents retelling of the story may have reminded me of the figure. I do see what you are saying about the heightened sense though, as kids are much more gullible, in a sense.

    Well I mean I genuinely believe that children are much more receptive to psychic/paranormal phenomena outside of simply being taught by society that such things are figments of our imagination, why I cannot say but there seems to be much evidence supporting it.

    Kinda diverging from the point again, but there was a story featured on one of the major news programs a few months back of a man who had supposedly built a "real life ghost catching machine"... some sort of chamber that harnessed and captured electromagnetic energy and prevented it from escaping. Apparently many major news crews were there and said he had demonstrated the machine to great success, there were some pictures floating around the internet of this supposed "apparition" in the machine but for the life of me I can't find anything through Google. :popcorn:

    I have Sprint and use the Palm Centro, it was good at first, had the data plan and could use google maps, NFL mobile live(watch live Games) and it was overall a good phone. After i got rid of the data plan it seems to be just a plain phone again! But i have come to find out the thing has horrible battery life. Likes to restart itself for no reason. And the touch screen can be kinda finicky. Also nearly every time i wanna "wake it up" i seem to press the email button then i have to wait for the email to open then go back to the main menu. I might just also have some gorilla thumbs! The phone does have some great features. I can open different office documents, excel, word that stuff, but again without internet i cant dl them from emails or anything so kinda useless. I have loved the phone, i have added some nice games, and it syncs nicely with my Outlook express for updating saved appointments and whatever else. I use a Bluetooth dongle on my comp to be able to sync the phone and comp. Works really nice. And adding pics or songs are a breeze.

    But since my contract is up i was debating about getting a storm. But i am not sure now, i have heard almost nothing but bad things about it. I did hear that the V.2 was alot better. And ideas? Well man GL with it all!!!

    To be completely honest with you, I can't make any raves or rants 'bout the Storm 2 since I have no experience with it... RIM might've figured out how badly they screwed up with the first one and made the proper changes to it. It was sort of a rush job due to the overwhelming success of the iPhone in '08, it got pushed out the door while practically still in development. The most recent software version (which was released in February mind you) fixed about 75% of the problems plaguing the phone (battery life has increased 4 fold from the initial software release!) , but it is far from bug free, and if I'm not mistaken both the Storm 1 & 2 share the same software, but 2 has double the device memory... if you want to read up on it a bit more I foundthis website with a video comparing the two. :)

    Unlimed text, 700 mins, and no data plan. Why pay for a data plan where most everywhere I am at has free Wifi?? :D

    Even Micky D's has free Wi-Fi now. It's a conspiracy to fatten America up even more.

    I will as soon as I find a meter. :P My best guess is 134 on music maybe a 136 on tones and heavy clipping. We'll see. That includes a trunk full of groceries. Hehe.

    True I heard bread loaves and other baked goods have a natural resonating frequency of 30Hz which will improve the bass output by a minimum of 14.668 dB ;)

    I was gonna go to the last one but had to work. Yeah man deffinatly if we can figure out the date and all?

    That's the magic word right there and something that's really difficult for everyone to come to a consensus on... Honestly, I would say we can shoot for sometime in June again, that gives everyone a few more months to tighten up their setups. Have to get a date as many people can attend as possible though.

    And then we need to find a location... we ended up moving a few times last year before we finally found a nice dirt field to park in, that was in San Marcos. I wouldn't mind driving to Austin if there was a good spot we could all meet up at.

    Interestingly enough, in preschool, I would always come home and talk about an angel that talked to me.

    Well, they do say that children have a heightened sense of such things; whether this has to do with the structure of the brain at that age or simply the lack of biased adult opinion towards such things I do not know

    I think it's more like things like this can't be proved by science or anything really because our senses aren't really scientific, these phenomena tend to not be easily recreated in a scientific manner for tests and really the only proof is eyewitness testimony and memory (and we know that can be significantly flawed sometimes, especially during a traumatic or seemingly traumatic event). For example, that guy who said the box flew off the fridge. He might not have really seen it happen or if he did, maybe it just fell off like a box normally would. Since he assumed it was paranormal, his mind kind of connected the dots from what he knew[ that happened to what he thought happened to make it all work together.

    If you notice, usually freaky things tend to happen when there is a similar external influence (stories, movies, ideas, mentally psyching yourself out).

    I agree with you to a certain point that the tendency of the human mind to 'overthink' and exaggerate during times of stressful events can definitely play a role in the memory of such events, we all remember seeing a scary movie as a kid and afterwards having that eerie feeling of somebody watching you. Hell, I still get it sometimes lol! Such is the power and complexity of the human mind though, to think. You think, therefore you are! It's what makes us such a kickass species ;)

    However, getting back to the original point, it's harder to explain away such things as premonition-dreams as coincidences when they consistently turn out right, or happen to large groups of people. I mean, closed-minded skeptics will always try and argue the point but there's no helping those people. And the scientific community has tried to explain the idea of sleep paralysis away as simply a physical reaction... here is a WIkiPedia article if you're interested... sure, they can tell you *how* it happens, that such and such part of the brain is firing neurons to blah blah blah but they can't tell you *why* it happens. Of course, after all anything we do, see, smell, taste, experience in this world is a matter of physical science. We can map out the entire brain and see how every pathway connects, how every emotion is created and transferred through our minds, but science can't explain why we experience such events and any attempts they make to dismiss such complexities away as simply a matter of evolution and natural selection I find to be ridiculous.

    Speaking of the power of the human mind... have you guys seen that episode of Mythbusters where they tested the so-called "psychic ability of plants"? I laughed at first but got to watching it... they hooked this plant up to a polygraph and had Tory sit there and think about hurting the plant in various ways... something like 35% of the time the plant reacted to it. Really interesting, albeit strange experiment. lol :)

    No unlocking the phone is what he's referring to. You can look it up on YouTube and figure out how to do it! Haha.

    iPhone FTW!

    Ah... just schooled myself on YouTube about the entire process, lol!

    Don't get me wrong...I would get an iPhone, they are really neat little devices... but for one, the damn thing's still so expensive (not even talking about the 3GS here!) and secondly, the thought of breaking one contract just to jump into another frankly scares me right now. I mean, the apps are cool and all don't get me wrong, but that's why I got the Storm in the first place was to use apps, and I ended up just using it for calls, text, pics, email, and browsing. Basic smartphone stuff. So I'm thinking I don't really need one.

    Plus, I just traded one of my buddies an 80gig 5G iPod video that I had laying around for his 8gig iPod Touch so if there's any really killer apps I want to get I can still download from the app store ;). The one feature I really loved that I got to play around with on my friends iPhone on a trip, was the Maps. I am an idiot with directions and that thing makes it damned near impossible to get lost. the iPod Touch has this too, but alas you need to be around a wireless hotspot to use any of those features (in-car wifi anyone?)

    +1 on all parts.

    I prefer RocketDock than using Windows 7 icons next to the start button. It is faster and way easier to open folders or whatever I want. And you can put nice icons too. Just point with the mouse and all your stuff pops out.

    Plus, I enjoy the zoom effect when you hover over an icon, a blind bat like me needs all the help he can get :werd_msword:

    I believe something like that should've been integrated into 7 from the get-go, like the Macs have, but I guess enough people know about it now that it doesn't make a difference either way.

    That says something for the resourcefulness of Windows users, we can usually find ways around Microsoft's shortcomings ;)

    Haha I'm not really looking to compete or anything just want to get the full potential in my system you know?

    I also think the fact that everything in my car was loose (door regulator, ceiling liner, panels, lights inside car? Rear dash, just to name a few lol) drowned out the bass a little more.

    But it's too much bullshit to try and fix all that shit. I decided to just sell the system I had and get a new car.

    Oh hey just noticed you're right up in Austin, you should come out to the next SSA Texas meet we have :fing34:

    Indeed, I like to hear others opinions. It's just that most of this stuff is so unknown, and can't really be explained or proved by science.

    Which is why most people choose not to believe or even acknowledge such things :popcorn:

    I've heard the same about hatchbacks, just from the nature of the design... trucks get pretty loud too (both SUV's and single/double cabs) the main challenge with sedans and the like is getting the air pressure effectively into the car... if this means cutting a hole in the rear deck, or removing the rear seat sheet metal support and welding in smaller braces, by all means do what it takes ;)

    or just fold the seats down? haha

    Hehe yeah if that option is available by all means that's a lot easier solution lol! Forgot about that
