Music Miscreant



Once again, thanks for the info.   
'a special personality and a strong constitution to be able to do this kind of work' well, who would've guessed. 
Anyway, a bit of 8.5 here & there. 
Mmm, not really what's intimated here...
Watch the video with composer Sean Murray discussing using SONAR X1 to score Call of Duty®: Black Ops.

I had a question about the process and was wondering if anyone knew where and what the final recordings were recorded into? Sean says at one point the 40 or 50 audio tracks are recorded "...into whatever recording device you're using."

Are those live mic's being recorded by X1 as well for 40 or 50 tracks then into a Master track in X1? Or what?

Not sure Larry. I'm sure the recording device(s) varies from location t location. I'll ask Jimmy if he can get some more information from Sean about these specifics. These are good questions also to keep in mind for Sean when we do round 2.

Oh get over youself...poor little commie Fidel Castro a target in a game...is that you Michael Moore? Sean Penn?

So if said target was an upstanding capitalist American would you feel the same way about it?
I find your attitude offensive, bigots like you should not be tolerated.
