FL studio 10 with Guitar Rig 5

click on the play button to hear a 10 second instrumental and summon dragons and unicorns behind you.,XD

It wasn't until I finished creating this 10 second instrumental that I came to realize I'm actually running away from doing my senior project. I never expected that implementing what I proposed would be so difficult. Although there is this lingering assurance that I'll still be able to get a passing mark even though I fail to reimplement everything that needs to be reimplemented for so long as I could scholarly explain why I failed to do so, It still bugs me that I can't seem to successfully carry out the things that I said I would... What pains me more is that it's not because I'm being lazy at it but because I'm not intelligent enough to handle it.

This ten second instrumental somehow breaks the chain of frustrations I have been experiencing for the past week whenever I would go to my adviser's office and have him check my work. I appreciate how he seems to sugarcoat and express this line, "You still have the wrong output", in so many different ways so that it wouldn't come across as hurtful. However upon leaving his office the frustration somehow still always pierces through, knowing that I'm still not that capable to understand.

So for today and tomorrow, I plan to do ishtuff that would make me feel successful.

do some kind of instrumental - check!
go back to bed - after publishing this post
attend an alternative class program dance session under Myk - come this 1pm
download wordpress and try working on the DCS website assignment - probably this evening
work on problem sets 3 (develop AI for tictactoe using minimax algorithm) and 4 (implement id3 decision tree algorithm) for my Artificial Intelligence subject - tomorrow from dawn till dusk

So I bid myself goodluck, and I hope doing these things would fill my mind with enough success to actually do something significantly productive come friday when I would be working once again on my senior project. x_x

I'm sorry for ranting.. T^T The original idea was to say something about the new FL STUDIO 10 (I was using FL8 before) and GUITAR RIG 5.. so here goes...

FL STUDIO 10 makes midi files sound pretty awesome with GUITAR RIG 5 as the filter used in the mixer tracks... Eargasm (XD) is achieved especially when SHREDDAGE is used to feed ampless guitar sounds in. (I used KONTAKT 4 to hold the sheddage library).

The thing with this new set-up is that sheddage captures the subtle changes in velocity and converts it into a guitar sound that exhibits the changes in these velocities, so much so that, when the velocity on a certain note is low, you hear a chugging sound that almost sounds like the elec guitar has been played palm-muted, and when the velocity on a certain note is high, you hear the guitar sound as if the guitar has been strummed forcefully. Hence, it's called velocity, pertaining to the velocity of the strumming hand as it hits the strings.

This is the only feature I have been able to play with so far ^^;... I'm looking forward to doing more rock covers nao that the emulated guitar sounds FL produces somehow sounds like real guitars.,XD..

Thanks a million mark (youtube.com/etherealurtz) for giving me a copy of everything. When I'm done with everything we're going to have fun... I wanna rest my palm on that new electric guitar of yours. =]
