Yay... School...

Posted by Japanesekanji Aug. 13, 2008 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Woo friggin' hoo... School's almost back in... It's really annoying, what with all of the events and shopping. I might as well think of it as a opportunity to try to find more ways to use music as homework. Anyways, on a much lighter note, i am now doing theme songs. Just tell me the genre and any specific things you want in it, what the cover art should be, and what the name should be. PM me or just respond to this post of you want one!

Guitars?

Posted by Japanesekanji Aug. 13, 2008 @ 1:40 AM EDT

Do you think I can find a good quality guitar at a local guitar shop for under $650? Or inctead of taking online advice, should I actually test out the guitars?

Btw, check theme song.

New Guitar

Posted by Japanesekanji Jul. 24, 2008 @ 1:37 AM EDT

I was wondering if anyone knew any guitars that were affordable, yet had a good quality for recording and playing. I looked at the Gibson website, and the cheapest guitar was over $1,000. Anything that I can afford? If possible, I would like it to be less than $500 dollars, but a few bucks above that's ok.

Recording

Posted by Japanesekanji Jul. 17, 2008 @ 5:09 PM EDT

Okay, according to DarKsidE555, I can get any guitar to work for recording, so long as I use good recording equipment. So, I was wondering, what would the best stuff to record with? Here's what I have:

Guitar: Fender Starcaster

Strings; Ernie Ball
Sizes:
10
13
17
26
36
46

Cords: Uh, I don't know. They came with my guitar. I also have something that changes the cords into a microphone plug-in.

Effects Pedal: Digitech's 'The Weapon' by Disturbed (6 effects, 2 regular distortion, wah-wah with transition into distortion, heavy metal distortion, sitar, and wah-wah heavy distortion)

Software: MAGIX Music Maker 12 Deluxe

There, everything I can record with. Anything I need to buy or replace?

Sweet... Tutorial...

Posted by Japanesekanji Jun. 18, 2008 @ 7:02 PM EDT

Awesum! People liked that new movie I made. So, I was wondering if making another would be worth the effort? No comments mean yes. You know what, screw it. I'll make another. Heh, I mean, why not? It works, right? Anyways, enjoy it when it comes out.

As for music, I have stopped for a while, for multiple reasons. I have taken a sudden reinterest in The Sims 2. Honestly, I think it's from looking at the BBS on the website daily. Also, I havent been feeling like making music. Basically, I just don't want to right now. Well, I will want to when I get some guitar lessons this summer.

As for my personal life, I have contact lenses, I'm cutting down on calories, staying more active, and finding healthier foods. Also, I'm joining a competitons where the first prize is $1,000, second is $500, and third is $250. Thanks to Iplaygames, I have improved how good it is. I'll give a link to it when I'm done with it. Thanks to knowledge of some GML, I think I might get somewhere if I actually decide to buckle down and actually work on it.

Now, time to enjoy summer!

Misc. Post

Posted by Japanesekanji May. 12, 2008 @ 7:54 PM EDT

Aye everyone. I would just like to tell all of you (if anyone still reads these) a few things. Yes, I actually have news!

First of all, I would like to tell you all about ParishIsDead. Great audio artist. I like his style. Really make ya feel good. Let's hope he gets a song on the frong page!

Second, if any of ya need sounds, ask me. I can help. Let's see... I can use a synth to get you many instruments. Guitar (electric and non), drums, piano (acoustic and electric), brass, strings, sax, bass, and some odd soundy-things. I have no idea what the name would be. Just give me some credit.

Last, I'm taking song requests. I don't care the gerne. Well, except pop, and give a while for classic. Just tell me the gerne, mood, progression, everything you can, and I'll try to make it into a song. Please suggest. I need ideas!

Thanks everyone.

Guitar, Beef Jerky, and Contact Lenses

Posted by Japanesekanji Apr. 27, 2008 @ 1:13 AM EDT

Man, I have a lot on my mind...

Lets start at food. Let's face it, I need to lose weight. Most of you don't know me, so whatever. Anyways, I need to eat better and exercise. So, I'm trying to eat less fats and more veggies. So a couple of years back, I got a jerky making kit. I can make jerky healthier than that store bought stuff. And it's cheaper. Ben, you want to help make some? You can have some.

Now for my eyes. I had them checked, and haven't changed in 4 years. So I need new lenses, but rather get contacts over glasses. Just got to GET them...

Now for a popular topic... Guitars. I need lessons. So I'm going to take 'em during summer. 'Twill be fun. Now, here's some links...

Found it!

Posted by Japanesekanji Mar. 31, 2008 @ 12:48 AM EDT

After cleaning my room, I found a plastic sack. In it was a mag, 2 slim jims, and.... MY MAGIX SOUNDPOOLS!!!!! Expect good new sounds! Anyways, I'm pretty happy. I'm gonna have to take a few hours to rip the sounds off of the CDs, but I can occupy some time by cleaning my room and playing guitar. I have all of the sounds on my computer now.

Anyways, if you need to hear more songs, check my friends music, Iplaygames.
Smartkiss doesn't have her computer, but I can still show her a few tricks to improve her song (one of the CDs has MAGIX Basic, and she has access to a few more comps). Anyways, I have a glitch on my computer: Whenever I click a dropdown menu the bar stays. By that, I mean, when you have a dropdown menu, like the files menu on your internet, and click something like new tab, the blue background and text stay. Luckily, only the first time I do this, it stays. Really annoying, but is easily ignored. Maybe the next Windows Update will fix it.

As for other projects, I have some news. I have a youtube account with the name Japanesekanji. My game is very slowley coming along. It's just so freakin' boring to make. My computer can decode my camera's videos, I blew over $50 on games and clothes, and have Super Smash Bros Brawl! Now all I need is some more money, internet for my Wii, and to be able to play guitar more. I have now gotten some hobbies. They are Pivot Stick Figure Animator, guitar, music arrangement, and occational painting. I'm also studying Japanese Kanji!

All in all, It's been pretty exciting recenally. Enjoy my new songs!
EDIT: I have 40 songs! Oh yeah! Celebrate!
