  1. Being Terminator weekend and all I thought I would write a little something as a tribute to Brad Fiedel and the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101. I guess this makes me kind of a nerd http://mariolanderos.com/Music/Resistance.mp3
  2. This is great, but there is no link for the EXS instruments. Both links on the page are the same file.
  3. Has anyone seen these videos yet? This can come in handy for some things.
  4. Sweet, some Meshuggah fans in the Logic forum! This band does some awesome stuff. I saw them in San Francisco when they opened up for Slayer about 7 or 8 years ago and in my opinion they blew Slayer away. I thought they should have headlined. I'm glad more bands like this are making it to the states these days. Anyone seen Carcass yet on this most recent tour?
  5. This video was hysterical! I laughed my ass off and almost inhaled a macaroni noodle. I got to go watch this again.
  6. Download the Handbrake DVD ripping app. It's a freeware app. After that just start renting some movies and start scoring away. http://handbrake.fr/
  7. This is one method. Read the suggestions at the top of the page. http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support.faq&ID=df2850a8668de948db07d1acd7b10cbe
  8. Thanks for checking out the remix. It was a lot of fun. Someone I know asked if I'd be interested in remixing a song of theirs and I hadn't done this kind of stuff since the days of the old EMU and Akai hardware samplers. So, I had to dust off the cob webs and lube up the remix engine. Mariah Carey has a contest going on also which I was going to participate in, but the site that hosts the contest was down sometimes or the files wouldn't upload so I didn't bother submitting. If you want to listen to that you can go to http://mariolanderos.com/remixes/IBLU.mp3 This more along the lines of what might end up doing for the artist that approached me. You'll notice it's a lot less noisy I liked the effect you added to the bass on your remix. It almost sounded like it had some filtering, bitcrushing and compression for pumping on it. I dig sounds like that. I agree with you about those sites that compress your song. Freakin B.S. man! I understand that they have to do that for bandwidth reasons, but it's still kind of lame. So, who else here took a stab at this TCM remix?
  9. Check out the ESP LTD series. For an inexpensive guitar they actually feel pretty good. Take a look at http://www.americanmusical.com if your on a tight budget.
  10. I agree with Jeramy about Peet's. There's a Starbuck right across the street from my place, but I'll go out of my way to go to Peet's. Not only is the coffee and tea better, but the vibe there is way more laid back. I've seen many a celebrity at my Peet's so you know it must be good right? I haven't seen Paris or Britney in there yet. I guess there's still hope for those two. Live it up man, you never know what tomorrow may bring. Just beware of vampires in need of the human energy drink.
  11. Hey NickBTruckin I ended up cutting the parts to make them conform to the tempo I used.
  12. Hey MaxwellJump, I actually did all of this in Logic Pro. The Crystal Method provide the stems as split stereo wav. files as well as the Pro Tools session. So, even if you're on Pro Tools LE or M-Powered you can still do this. The contest is open to anyone regardless of what DAW you use. If you give this one a go let us know so we can hear what you did and vote for your remix. We Logic guys/gals gotta stick together. Big thanks to everyone who has taken the time to listen my remix and give me some feedback. I made a deliberate effort to stay away from the techno type sound I hear in a lot of remixes. I didn't set out to create a dance version of this song. I'm more of a NIN type guy. I love noise! Cheers M
  13. I have to agree with what some others here say about Tablature and that you should stay away from it. Learn scales first because that way you'll know what the notes and intervals are. Once you master some of these start training your ear. When you start doing that, you'll be able to determine what key a song is in just by having figured a few notes. It will eliminate a lot guess work when you're trying to figure what notes/chords to play. If the song you're trying to learn has vocals, try to learn the melody on the guitar and that will help you figure out what key it's in too. It's makes it a little easier. Good luck. When you become a shredder you'll have to put some music up for us to listen to.
  14. In the picture with your keyboard and monitors there is a silver box with little lights, just to the right of the mouse. It looks similar to a Mackie Big Knob in a way. Who makes that that? I've seen pictures of it in other people's studios, but I can't make out a name.
  15. The Crystal Method are having a remix competition and I've recently submitted and entry. If you'd like to hear it and vote for my entry here is the link http://www.fuzz.com/contest/remixingprotools/gallery?&page=2 Mine is the first one at the top of the page (Mario Landeros). I believe you have to sign up to vote, but if you don't want to that's cool. I dislike having to sign up for things myself. Even if you don't vote give me some feedback as this is something new for me. Tell me if it sucks, if it's good, it makes you shake your booty, or if this is the kind of music you'd put on while doing the hanky panky. Thanks in advance guys/gals. You ROCK!!! Love, Mario
