#sumirs3cjams postponed

so I went to update Vista (an old OS I know) and the system crashed in the process- corrupting the registry I presume, rendering my computer unable to boot. Not even in safe mode. Fortunately my HD (and my glorious gifs collection) seems to be unaffected. It still sucks, as I had some old software on there and the disks and original installers I don't have any more. A lot of my plugins, samples, presets, and whatnot for FL Studio were scattered all over the got damn place so it's gonna be a pain in the @ss to port old projects over...

I have a much better computer now. More modern. I welcome this new digital age where I can play flash games on high settings, listen to audio without crackling, watch YouTubes HD and experience no lag, and being innudated with videos won't f*ck up my social media feed...

sumirs3cjams has been postponed for this reason, amongst others. My preferred recording software was on a disk, and I'm going to have purchase an optical drive to install it my new comp...it's old software, hopefully it works on Shekelsoft Windows 10. The OS looks and runs amazing btw, although I fully anticipate the oncoming issues that have been popularily associated with the prematurely released system.

I'd like to thank all who happened to checked the music of the sumirs3cjams out!! It was supposed to last a full year, as a testament to post a tune every week, for the sake of being artisically consistent. I think 4 and a half months was a good mark though. My intentions were an overall success. I'm also satisfied with the amount of views.

sumirs3cjams will be back! Jazz Standard July or Juleidoscope perhaps?? Acoustic August?? Synthetic September?? At the very latest the tunes will be back for Spooktober...

cannot say I would do a consistent annual project like this again, tho. From my perspective, art is best when it's spontaneously created, not when it's produced by a fixed deadline, especially at weekly intervals. I tried to have no inhibitions when recording- just take each session as a normal jam, but the sincere playing is quick to fade into a serious attempt at recording which was not my intent for the project! but overall it was a fun ride.

Audio crackled on your old computer? Must've been a big handicap in that music production thing! About YT lag, can you watch 1080p movies in full screen without lag? Highest I can go on this computer is 480p.

Well, I'll be back in September to see if some of those jams are bangin' yet. :) 4 and a half was a good mark indeed! I agree these yearly projects easily get a bit tedious, but it seems to go in waves; after those days where I'd rather not have written anything, I'm still glad I did, it's like a creative reminder: keeps the craft fresh in mind. The greatest work however, is indeed usually done at spontaneous occasions.

not in the DAWs/AEs for the most part thankfully, as long as the sample buffer latency was set to a minimum. I was referring to audio in flash & video content. Just streaming audio was usually fine though.

Yeah, so far so good! I was thinking this new gear would get me watching videos more.

peace out

'Amid' is a speaking disorder? No clue who @ss was http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/239139#bbspost4571589_post_text

Vista to Win10... big stretch. Otherwise I'd suggest taking a gamble on simply transferring your old program files over, and seeing if they'll run, registry or no. Damn man, still can't figure out why you didn't upgrade sooner... run it till it drops, eh?

ss was a user of few words, and very little information is known about the man. Bullied in grade school for being a Chinese immigrant, he is estimated as currently between 29-35 years old, single, and lives in Southern California. His birth name is 巨大的心脏, Americanized: he is simply known as Joey Pui. He self-diagnosed himself with a fairy-tale speaking disorder, but really he just had a propensity for switching "l" and "r" consonants, a common mispronunciation amongst English speakers who have native Asian tongues. Don't worry, he grew out of the habit by his twenties and no longer hates everyone. But why are you sending me on a wild goose chase dude...ss has nothing to do with me porting programs over...but it will be a pain in the @ss

might as well try, it can't hurt. A problem is some of the necessary .dlls and whatnot might be scattered across various directories. Well I am a cheap @ss and got comfortable with what I had...it's like smartphones didn't get one until late 2014. But once you own new technology you see how much you are missing out on lol

Sure wish I had all my old program CD's and installers, gave 'em to people I thought could handle and/or use them. Guess you could see if any of the programs you're jonseing for are on torrents.

Yeah IDK why I mentioned former user ss, just curious.. thought I might've heard of the condition he was refering to, when I was in speech therapy @t the @ge 5. Really glad the young adults treated me like a small grown up back then, cluing me in on what they learned in college.

Best of luck in your computer assisted endeavors, not easy learning new tricks, dog. Happy 4th as well... though it seems more like a funeral than a celebration these days... some prick at the (NY) Daily News wrote an op about why God Bless America should be banned from baseball games, and a bunch of other post-PC malevolence.

I still have my (or should I say my dad's) ancient engineering apps from the 80s...they're on the large, flimsy floppies manufactured by 3M (the sticky note and tape company), good luck finding hardware that can run them lol

word...and I'm an old dog so I'll need all the luck I can get lol. Hey thanks...what can we can we do we live in a slowly turning fascist nation where PCs are gaining more control each day. It's only going to get worse when Hilary's in office.

I've noticed that guys who are really into PC's, are into Linux, just like serious potheads are into pipes and bongs.... and hipsters are into superfluous attire and extensive grooming

Just sucks that everyone in DC is backed by the worst players (best payers) in town, and Hill and Bill are the top skimmers. Google has been spreading so much influence (former employees in positions of power) and money around, it's basically their internet, Hillary also's taken quite a bit of scratch from them as well. Really does have all the hallmarks of a pre-Nazi Germany, which was right around the time my Pop's parents left Poland to come here. I'd go to Australia, but they don't like guns there, the twats

Linux doesn't treat you like you're digitally incompetent, is not loaded with bloatware, and updates are free and actually desirable (not disruptive); paraphernalia is more sustainable and supposedly gets you bigger highs; hipster-dom revolves around superficiality so the superfluous attire makes perfect sense.

Well you could move to Canada or a Nordic country. Hey the CEO of google now is a Punjab I won't complain...pre-Nazi Germany without Hitler. Hillary Clinton will probably start a war to put a facade that she's tough but too much involved in multicultural enrichment to start a FEMA camp.

Know what? It all comes down to planned obsolescence (expect linux), and planned disaster economics. I bet Google is just a high a horse to ride, as the US gov't... there are likely many secret agreements/powerful associations that must be kept well.
