TARRANON'S PROFILE

Late season, I suppose. I probably wouldn't say no to a request, but otherwise I expect it'll be pretty quiet until the deadline approaches again.

bugs:
1. revenge doesn't do bonus damage in counter mode.
2. none of the techniques are outdamaging normal attacks.
3. ravage isnt gaining power at all.
4. counter is still bugged. sometimes if you kill an enemy with counter, it skips the enemy phase.

With this and all the other things Selius has found, I think we know who to have as a beta tester in Act III+ :P

Throw money at him if you have to Sailerius, this guy is goooood

Just a quick question- it might be a little out of place, considering the context of the situation, but since there are so many musicians gathered here at once, I figured this would be a good place to ask.

Basically, I've been getting errors whenever I try to record. BIG errors. And it seems to be progressive. At first, it would happen once every three or so sessions (at ~3 hours per session), but now it seems to happen every half hour or so.

Essentially, it is an IRQ Not Less Than Or Equal error- a veritable blue screen of death, if there ever was one. After some preliminary research, it appears that this happens because the I/O ports of my ram are now apparently shared by several programs, both having to do with my recording software and without. Apparently there are some who can manually go in and change the ports so that there isn't a conflict; however, my motherboard and/or operating system does not allow that. For someone in my position, then, it would appear that a reformat and complete system re-installation are what's required. This is, obviously, going to be a huge pain in the ass.

So my question is: has anyone else encountered this problem and, if so, what steps did you take to fix it?

Sorry for the long winded post, but I'm kinda desperate here.

This 3 instrument rule is a bit confusing. What about tracks that use typical "ensemble" instruments, such legato strings? Or, a set of auxiliary percussion instruments. If it is based on whether or not 3 people can play it, seems like an overly complicated thing to try and regulate.

It would seem that's exactly the point. Sometimes less is more, and being able to compose well utilizing only a handful of instruments is an important lesson in understanding the voicing of the instruments you choose. Can you mix an oboe with a trumpet? How about a flute with a piano? Knowing how the timbre of this-or-that instrument works with other instruments is fundamental when you go to compose larger orchestral arrangements.

So in answer to your question, I would say that a legato strings ensemble would be entirely out of the question. Unless, of course, you wanted to use your three instruments as three solo violins, which would be kind of pointless. One violin; one piano; one flute. Or two french horns and a tuba. However you want to arrange it, the only limiting factor here is that the song has to be made using three solo instruments.

(That means that you can't have a brass ensemble patched through your keyboard and have it count as "one" instrument).
