"What's a tag li- ohh..."


*Insert intro here*

I am at Salford University studying Computer and Video Games. I mainly do music (and sound), with a bit of design, narrative, art and level design on the side.

I also write and play music, I have various artist links in that box down there.

Get ready for a big gap here now while you scroll past all the stuff I put in those boxes on the side.

Games
Currently playing: Disgaea (PS2) Final Fantasies VII and X, ZOE 2, Soulcalibur III, Tekken 5, the Metal Gear series, the Zelda series, the Metroid series and especially Super Smash Bros. Melee. Last but not least, Quintet/Enix's SNES action RPG Terranigma, the absolute pinnacle of RPGs on this planet.
Books
I read a lot, and have done from an early age (I read the Hobbit when I was 6 or 7 O.o). My favourite books are Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, which I have been reading almost exclusively. Other authors I like are: J.R.R. Tolkein, Philip Pullman, Robert Rankin, C.S. Lewis, Alan Garner and Brian Jacques. I also do a bit of writing, my one completed story can be found at http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2249617/1/
Video
The Monty Python films (Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, And Now For Something Completely Different). Kevin Smith's View Askew films (Dogma, Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (still need to see Clerks and Mallrats)). Final Fantasy VII Advent Children. Buster Keaton movies (The Goat, Cops, Steamboat Bill Jr, The Love Nest), This Is Spinal Tap, Pan's Labyrinth. Good comedy shows like Black Books, Spaced and cartoons like The Simpsons and Family Guy. I also enjoy anime series such as Witch Hunter Robin, Full Metal Panic, Full Metal Alchemist, .Hack//Sign, Azumanga Daioh. As well as anime films like Akira, Ghost in the Shell and the excellent work of Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro).
Sports
I love football (that's proper football, the version that involves your feet) and I support Bolton Wanderers. When I play, I'm usually a goalkeeper, although I have been known to take the gloves off and wander around midfield. I will also play cricket, tennis, badminton, basketball or whatever's going on really, but only as a bit of fun. Apart from the football thing I'm not really a very sporty person.

I know it is. You have a sound module with decent enough sounds on it. All you need is a few more keys than you have on your Ax.

The main problem we have at the moment is making any noise at all, not how epic the synth sounds in the collective noise.

an 88 or 76 or whatever key controller would be perfect, no?

just my two cents...

you need something like that. Inexpensive and such. Or somthing like that with more keys.

Also, I'm cut etween getting a Mesa Mark IV, or an ENGL Powerball... It's either an epic rhythm tone or an epic lead tone. Sure I use rhythm a hell of a lot more, but I'm more perfecitonist with leads....

cool cool.

If you can get a decent Mesa Amp Sim with a 5-band EQ,

use - T - 10, MT - 5, M - 1, MB - 5, B - 10

\m/ its epic

My main cab is a 4x12. the setings are roughly (out of 10 ratings) Drive - anywhere between 3 - 7 depending on the part) Treble = 7 - 9, Mid = 1 -3, Bass = 6 - 8.

My rig is pretty complicated though. You'll find it difficult to simulate it.

It goes something like this.

Guitar > Metal Muff > Mesa-Boogie F-50 > (loop out) Compressor > Chorus > Acoustic Simulator > Volume Pedal (loop in) > 4x12 cab (with pre outs to) > Roland vintage cube 60w, 1x12 monitor, Laney linebacker 30w.

I'm lucky when (if) i get to use the full setup though, its more for perfective sound widdling than learnig my song. For precticing i just use.

Metal muff > compressor > Roland vintage cube 60w (pre out) > Laney linebacker 30w

If you can simlate that, well fucking done.

enjoy your lack of need for guitarists. But we need to get writing - I've been talking to will about real recordings. But theres large amounts of related things I need to go over with you.
