01a - g1g1ng3r

02d - Nope.

03a - I don't know.

looking for a record contract. That would be fun but my
stuff isn't good enough for that.

these terms being applied to graphics. I'm seriously kind of
dumb.

03 OTHER
03a biggest influences - ...... At the moment I sound
like Prefuse or something. But i'm mostly into hiphop (def

my tracks.

I feel kind of stupid for not knowing how to answer a few of
the questions.... But I guess i'm not really in it for the
technical shit.

sound card settings / program settings...

of course, you cant burn it to cd at those settings, it has
to be brought down to 16BIT/41,000.

however, actually making the track at 32/92 eliminates loss
of sound, you get smoother fade ins/outs and just better
sound when its brought down to 16/41

late nights are over. href="http://www.mp3.com.au/gate/">gate has been dormant for
almost as long.

when i do return i intend to create music in a
mandala-inspired fashion. i no longer get personal
satisfaction from creating 'intelligent' music, it seems
like a fraud. though i do listen to it :) the meaning and
motivation behind creativity for me has been abused and
confused for years and i now only want to touch it for the
right reasons. there is no hurry !
