I would like to say to all of you new members that this board is much more that a place where you can get your five postings done. Posting promotes companionship and an Identity to the face. I encourage all new members to follow my lead and work their way up the ranks. Get to the level where you can have an avatar. If you get good you will see your name glowing and people will recognize who you are. That is what MIDIBuddy is about.

Zack
10-02-2002, 09:18 PM
Amen, although I would say I'm here more for midis/discussion rather than attaining some feature...ooh glowy! on second thought ;)

Great thread Raven..(one of the newbie's Mods please sticky this one)

Alot of us just came here for the MIDI's...but stuck around...the MIDIbuddy Community(and thats what it is....a community) is more than Just MIDI files. THere is a whole plethora of Information here relating to all things music...and there is always someone who knows that answers. So if you have other questions...just post them in the correct forum and the answers shall be yours

yeah it seems like last few months more and more people a joining. It's gotten crazy. I came for the midis for my website but I stayed because it's a great place to hang out and chat about your hobbies and the like. Knowledge is power. I know midibuddy changed servers a few nights back it seems slower than b4 the change. I have dsl. It's like the server won't respond to me for a short while.

tavenger5
10-03-2002, 12:01 AM
Haven't changed yet. Probably this weekend... The errors you see are the reason I'm switching.. I loaded http://64.21.12.54/board/ notice how much faster it is... (the links aren't correct yet... click on the table highlight)

don't actually post anything.. I'll be updating the database soon. ;)

lostdave
10-03-2002, 12:05 AM
YUP...the errors come up much faster on that site :D :D ....

I am guessing the backend thread database isn't in yet?

or is it the URL hack not there yet.

Don't worry, I'll change it when I get more posts

I don't know what Internet connects you all have but I'm running off a 56k, I will be very greatful when things speed up.

Raven
10-03-2002, 06:02 PM
My avatar is changed and good. I don't think anyone would confuse me an voiceofgod, but I wanted to change it anyway. Tell me what you think of it. I'm considering keeping this as my regular one, unless I get feedback that you guys don't like it

KingXII
10-03-2002, 08:04 PM
56k is limited to 6kb/s. I get 30bk/s for about 15 seconds on big posts so the speed for 56ker's won't matter so much. It won't be a lot faster except when alot of people are using the site at the same time then that's when things get slow.

Ronny
10-04-2002, 03:07 AM
Hey RAVEN. I think it's pretty cool but if you want me to maybe put as bit of animation in it to spice it up a bit let me know.:thumbsup:

Raven
10-04-2002, 08:01 AM
Ronny, that would be very cool. I would like you to do that for me if you could. I'm going to work on racking up the posts so I can choose custom. Thanks

Ronny
10-04-2002, 12:58 PM
I'll do a little summit to it but guess there's no big panic. will email it to you when I've achieved summit decent with it.

Ronny
10-04-2002, 01:02 PM
Also John, I'm gettin run time errors every time I open a post. Not the thread but only the post. Any thoughts?

Ummmmm.... actually I registered so I could possibly meet some muso's to jam with and see what people do these days with music... It's been nearly 20 years since I played in a serious band... and my fingers are starting to get itchy again... I'd turned to Midi's so I could dissect songs and got more interested in them:) I also use them for Karaoke with my DJing

Raven
10-07-2002, 08:06 AM
Very True evansst. I sometime use MIDI files so I can look at the notes being played. The it is real easy to learn it if you can't find regular sheet music for it. Also MIDI's have great potential for karaoke songs. Rock on Mr. DJ

Ronny
10-08-2002, 03:46 AM
Hey thanks frogg man!! ~Wipes tear from eye~

Raven
10-08-2002, 07:49 PM
I would like to tell all the newbies that if you are going to post, don't wait to do it. I have been a member longer that a lot of people on the board, member since April, but it has a weird story with it. In April, I posted five times so I could get my MIDI's, and then I left and let the board sit. Don't do that. Any newbie who does that isn't using the board for what it is worth. I missed out on all the fun I could have had in the months that my account sat idle, actually I am suprised that pearl didn't delete it. Don't join just so you can get a few MIDI files. There is so much more potential to your account.

get to 100 posts and you will recieve 50MB$ Yeah i'm sticking to that price because then I gotta give people the same thing that I give to you. So that's fair! Once you reach 100 posts you will be able to get a custom avatar and you will pocket 50MB$ :D

I honestly only found this site last night when I was looking for a midi file for the other half who's a singing teacher. Now I'm on here again already at work the next day and can't stop reading through the diverse topics the posts cover.

Whoever started it all and keeps it running:

dont post much coz i dont normally have much to say. i just frequent the request forum and try help out in the request of other peeps as much as i can. its the least i can do since i get a lot from midibuddy.

just like what we say here in the Philippines, "MABUHAY KAYONG LAHAT!"

I too came for the midi's but stayed to read up on the further exploits of this community. It's like real-time soap opera.I don't use chat rooms, but midi buddy is different in that the sole purpose for me is too learn the language of midi compositions so that I too can share my work some day especially all the tunes I've requested but no one has produced yet. blah blah blah

I've been messing with midi for several years, but the heart or my sequencing rig has finally passed away: An old atari running Notator. Maybe I'll find a new CPU one day so I don't have to learn new software. Sure its old... but it works! Look forward to making friends.
