I started tinkering with MPC over the long weekend. I started on a song and have a new song in mind once the other one is done. I hope to release two MPCs before 2010 is over. One is a video game song, the other is a TV song.

Johto Minecraft is going along well. I finished Johto and am now on my way towards the Indigo Plateau. Once there, I'll probably do Mt. Silver first then heard towards Viridian.

School work this quarter is going to be a lot compared to last quarter. Not to mention I also have work to go to. Very busy these next few months.

Now I'm getting mad.

Mario Paint Composer

I've started on a new song, even though it doesn't sound good so far. I also started on a new OC, but that doesn't sound like I want it either. I fear that my OCs will have to wait until I get my new desktop, since being able to use Evolution (something I cannot use anymore on my laptop) GREATLY helps the process for me.

Someone was kind enough to create a techno/trance remix of Melancholy. Be sure to check it out!

School's started over again, so yay for that.

I got COD: Black Ops while I was up in Bemidji, so I've been playing that a lot. I also managed to pick up Age of Empires III for a dime the other day as well, though I haven't had the chance to play it yet.

My biggest project, however, has been recreating the world of Johto in the game Minecraft. In layman's terms, I'd say I'm about 3/5 of the way there. I still need to do Mahogany, Blackthorn, and the routes connecting them. I also plan to do Kanto.

GRRR

If you haven't yet seen it, I did come out with a new MPC over the past two weeks. Now time to brainstorm the next.

Also, if you've noticed, is that I've taken it upon myself to create the Song of the Week video playlist. It's something I've heard others wanted, so I took the initiative. I plan to release each video every Wednesday, but I don't want to jinx it.

I'm back in Bemidji for the week, as the quarter's over. I'm now halfway through college!

GODDOMMOT FRONK

I actually touched MPC over the past few weeks. I even started a song, though it quickly disapatted. It sucks not being able to use Evolution.

I've decided that my next "major" project will be a Linkin Park song. I hop I can get it out before Halloween.

Other

Not in the best of moods this week either. School's piling up, work's taking all of my free time (I did get paid today however). Saving up for a desktop so I can use Evolution.

GRR.

I finally re-downloaded ALL the soundfonts I used to have. So now I can finally use MPC again.

Don't you hate it whenever you can't use something, but then you get a huge amount of inspiration? Yeah, that's basically what has happened

Not in the best of moods this week. I happened to get in a car accident, so now I'm without a car for a few weeks. GRR.

I haven't really touched MPC over the past week. I found out all my soundfonts are corrupted, so I'll need to re-download them all (sigh). There is one song that I've been listening to that's BEGGING me to make it. However, I feel like going a different route with this. Not get it as close as I can with a soundfont, but get get as close as I can without one, kind of like how it was when I first started, before soundfonts were created. It'll be simple, sure, but it'll be more reminiscent of how MPC is supposed to work.

Other

I got a job! YAY!

Other than that, I haven't done much. Saving up for a nice computer (hopefully it'll run Evolution so I can start recreating MIDIs again. NoteWorthy is giving me too many problems).

Halo: Reach comes out tomorrow. Just about to take a nap so I can stay up all night trying to beat the campaign. Why yes I do have college tomorrow.

Good lord FOUR WEEKS?

Mario Paint Composer

I haven't had a chance to play with MPC in the past four weeks. Sorry, the reason was...

Other

... my computer completely died. The screen would turn on but the keyboard and mouse just straight up stopped. I had to send it in to get repaired; got it back last Wednesday. So yeah, I managed to get all my stuff back, but other than that this past week has been mostly getting my computer to what it was like before.

Evolution also will not work for me anymore, since they reinstalled Home Premium 64-bit on my computer. So now I need to look for a new MIDI creator. NoteWorthy was the first that came to mind, but God does it look hard to learn. Oh well...
