I may have to try this, but it would be nice if I had a laptop, huh?

by **steelfire81** Thu Oct 22, 2009 3:38 am

Two more charts coming NAO.

by **steelfire81** Thu Oct 22, 2009 3:42 am

Okay. "Pulling Mussels From The Shell" is up. I just revised it, which took a lot more time than I thought. Playing it back in slow-mo helps a lot while charting. That's my advice of the day for beginners.

The other song is a classic SpongeBob anthem. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... "SWEET VICTORY!"

by **steelfire81** Thu Oct 22, 2009 10:54 pm

Sweet Victory has been REVISE'D with an unnecessary apostrophe.

I have officially created my first custom!!! It is... *drum roll* The tutorial piece for guitar!!! *wah, wah, wah, wah...* Yeah, I know how to fret, but I don't know how to get a song up to fret. Neutral

I'll figure it out... or I can ask.

Hey, steel, can I upload a song from a disc? Like a cd.

by **steelfire81** Fri Oct 23, 2009 2:16 am

Yes, you can. However, it has to be in .ogg format; you'll likely have to convert it. Audacity works well for Windows, but I found a Mac program (I have a Mac) that works better.

Max (Mac Audio Converter)
Audacity (Mac, Windows, and Linux Audio Converter)

They're both free.

Interesting. One A7X custom and a short thread, coming up.

A7X? WOOT!

I have "Immigrant Song" coming up sometime. I'm too lazy to upload it right now, though.

How do I turn a disc song into an OGG? After that, I can figure it out, but I don't know what to do with the system.

by **steelfire81** Sat Oct 24, 2009 4:56 am

Import the CD to iTunes, drag the file to the desktop, put it into the audio converter, and export it as an .ogg file.

by ugxwolf Sun Oct 25, 2009 2:55 am

... Ah! I don't know how to do the audio converter. I usually use Windows Media Player, though. That's worked so far.

by ugxwolf Sun Oct 25, 2009 3:43 am

For some reason, when I put it on Audacity, the file shows up as being 0.1 seconds long.

by ugxwolf Sun Oct 25, 2009 4:22 am

Nevermind. I found a way around it.

by **steelfire81** Sun Oct 25, 2009 6:11 am

W00T!

by ugxwolf Sun Oct 25, 2009 7:46 pm

I "ripped" the song using Audacity. So, now I'm working on the custom, but this lag is somewhat annoying. I can't get the right BPM.

by **OzzyOzrock** Mon Oct 26, 2009 2:05 am

Audacity won't convert for me, it says I need LAME.

by ugxwolf Mon Oct 26, 2009 8:43 pm

I just recorded the song. F that.

by **steelfire81** Mon Oct 26, 2009 10:11 pm

HAHA! My Mac wins this round. Now I just need it to stop being slow as hell...

by ugxwolf Tue Oct 27, 2009 12:35 am

Lol. My Windows wins that round. I can chart it with no slowness what-so-ever, and the files are freakishly full.

by **steelfire81** Tue Oct 27, 2009 3:47 am

I can chart with no slowness, I just can't burn DVDs at full speed. It figures, though, because my job involves burning DVDs (I work for the coaches of the town football league for film).

No matter what, use EOF.

Hey guys! If you noticed the chart of "Pulling Mussels from the Shell" sucked, it's because I uploaded the wrong version of it. Wait, it gets worse. Then I deleted the correct version. Sorry! Expect a new version soon.

I tryed that with All Nightmare Long by Metallica from my iTunes folder, the same happened with me.

by ugxwolf Mon Nov 16, 2009 3:03 am

I just ended up taking the file from the recorded song, so I'm good, now.

by **OzzyOzrock** Sat Nov 21, 2009 10:27 pm

by **steelfire81** Mon Nov 23, 2009 12:07 am

Hey guys! No, I'm not dead, I just am taking a break from charting for a while. I'm sorry about not revising the "Pulling Mussels" chart; I've been busy with work and school lately. As an apology, I'm charting a near impossible song that took me 20 minutes to chart the first 5 seconds. The name will remain a secret for now, but expect it eventually.

by ugxwolf Mon Nov 23, 2009 8:55 pm

That's one way to make up for it. Also, I can't seem to figure out what to do next, so I'll probably just get back to work on writing, but I'll still chart for the heck of it.
