|---|---|---|
| * xTEMPLARx pokes wrst in the side of the head | 16:05 | |
| xTEMPLARx | :( | 16:07 |
| * xTEMPLARx is amazed that everybody is asleep. | 16:47 | |
| xTEMPLARx | hmmmm | 16:47 |
| wrst | xTEMPLARx: !!!!! | 17:37 |
| wrst | where you been? | 17:37 |
| wrst | just show up after all this time like you own the place or something why don't you???? :P | 17:37 |
| xTEMPLARx | whee! | 18:36 |
| xTEMPLARx | not sure why or how I got d/c'd | 18:36 |
| xTEMPLARx | oh yeah, now I remember | 18:36 |
| xTEMPLARx | i restarted the box | 18:36 |
| xTEMPLARx | nm | 18:36 |
| * xTEMPLARx is slow | 18:36 | |
| wrst | ha ha how are you doing xTEMPLARx? | 18:57 |
| * wrst is always slow | 18:57 | |
| xTEMPLARx | tell me about it | 18:57 |
| xTEMPLARx | doin okay | 18:57 |
| xTEMPLARx | a bit stressed but alive | 18:57 |
| xTEMPLARx | family's overall pretty good shape so there's that :D | 18:57 |
| wrst | if family is good that's the most important :) | 18:58 |
| wrst | what have you been into? long time no see | 18:59 |
| xTEMPLARx | just workin' workin' | 18:59 |
| xTEMPLARx | not much other than that | 18:59 |
| wrst | I know the feeling.... man that stinks | 18:59 |
| xTEMPLARx | we're short-handed and the now-might-as-well-be-offshore execs don't really care too much about getting people in to help | 18:59 |
| wrst | ugh | 18:59 |
| xTEMPLARx | needs to be lookin' for a job, but I detest the process. :( | 19:00 |
| wrst | :) | 19:00 |
| wrst | I have considered that here lately not for any real reason other than a change would be nice but yeah the process... | 19:00 |
| xTEMPLARx | so, all that aside, things are decent | 19:01 |
| wrst | ha ha that's good :) | 19:01 |
| xTEMPLARx | at least I *have* a job so there's also that XD | 19:01 |
| wrst | yes I have been reminded of that also | 19:01 |
| xTEMPLARx | lol | 19:02 |
| xTEMPLARx | how's your family doin as of late? | 19:02 |
| wrst | good, little girl is about to turn 4, that seems a bit unbelievable | 19:02 |
| wrst | but doing well | 19:02 |
| xTEMPLARx | sheesh | 19:03 |
| xTEMPLARx | that's craziness | 19:03 |
| xTEMPLARx | I find it hard to believe then in 7 short years my son will be an actual teenager | 19:03 |
| xTEMPLARx | that's so not far away | 19:03 |
| wrst | :\ | 19:04 |
| wrst | that's frightening | 19:04 |
| wrst | my daughter acts like a teenager some times already | 19:04 |
| wrst | xTEMPLARx: I am working with an iPad right now doing a few musical things with it or looking at it | 19:04 |
| wrst | oh yeah probably not a good spot to say that :) | 19:05 |
| xTEMPLARx | haha | 19:07 |
| xTEMPLARx | what app are you tinkering around with on there? | 19:07 |
| xTEMPLARx | garageband? | 19:07 |
| wrst | but finding a lot of cool things that can be done | 19:07 |
| wrst | starting there | 19:07 |
| wrst | thinking of hooking a keybaord up as a midi controller for some tinkering | 19:08 |
| xTEMPLARx | i got a trial version of ableton live trying to tinker around with it but I hardly ever seem to have time once the day is done, and if I do, i'm so exhausted all I wanna do is sleep | 19:09 |
| xTEMPLARx | I did some tinkering with garageband back when I first got it | 19:09 |
| xTEMPLARx | didn't really do much actual RECORDING with it | 19:09 |
| xTEMPLARx | I have considered many times getting a nice add-on stereo mic setup for it, though | 19:09 |
| xTEMPLARx | seems like it would be good to record some live stuff | 19:09 |
| wrst | yes may do that also | 19:10 |
| wrst | and ableton is on my radar just not had the funding to get that set up going yet | 19:10 |
| xTEMPLARx | its hard to warrant the money Ableton costs at any price point unless you have absolute NEED of it as part of your usual day-to-day | 19:12 |
| wrst | I agree but would be cool | 19:14 |
| wrst | but enjoying some of the synth sounds I'm able to make work even with garage band | 19:15 |
| xTEMPLARx | indeed! | 19:16 |
| xTEMPLARx | i had fun tying some of the built-in loops together and making songs out of'em. | 19:16 |
| xTEMPLARx | i have a song on my computer at home that was a thing I did with my boy when he was barely talking... it actualy sounds pretty neat (even tho its very silly). | 19:16 |
| wrst | ha ha nothing wrong with silly | 19:17 |
| wrst | on sundays a lot of times we are limited musically so I have been using some pad loops but would like to put some of my own together | 19:18 |
| wrst | but must get a controller keyboard, pushing piano keys on a tablet is not the most expressive way to do something | 19:18 |
| xTEMPLARx | no doubt | 19:18 |
| xTEMPLARx | i bought an 88-key M-Audio midi keyboard controller back on my wife and I's first date. I haven't used it at ALL really until I installed the ableton demo | 19:19 |
| wrst | but looks likes most compliant ones should work | 19:19 |
| xTEMPLARx | no other softwares I've used have been even close to realtime | 19:19 |
| xTEMPLARx | yeah even a small 12 or 24-key jobber would be better | 19:19 |
| wrst | yeah I have seen some references of some keyboards without much latency on an ipad but I'm a little suspect of that | 19:20 |
| wrst | at one time I had an ardour setup with an maudio 4 track card setup took me forever to get the latency so it was usable | 19:21 |
| xTEMPLARx | I have the Moog synth app for iPad and it sounds pretty amazing. Its supposed to be controllable via the midi keyboard, but I lost my USB adapter a long time ago so I can't try it. :( | 19:22 |
| xTEMPLARx | i bought one of those card-reader/USB adapter sets back around the time I bought my ipad2 | 19:22 |
| xTEMPLARx | I still have the card reader, but not the USB adapter :(( | 19:22 |
| wrst | yes was looking at one of those right now | 19:23 |
| wrst | hmm interesting app | 19:24 |
| wrst | 29 bucks! | 19:24 |
| xTEMPLARx | I lucked out when I got it | 19:24 |
| xTEMPLARx | it was available for free for a limited time | 19:24 |
| wrst | but in the grand scheme of things if it scratches an itch it is well worth it | 19:24 |
| xTEMPLARx | one of THOSE deals | 19:24 |
| xTEMPLARx | but man its got a lot of capabilities | 19:25 |
| xTEMPLARx | in the way of diff. sounds, that is | 19:25 |
| wrst | yes when I get a controller I may purchase that | 19:25 |
| wrst | sound guys hate me at church I'm always hooking something up | 19:25 |
| wrst | last week just me and drummer so he had an iphone hooked up to his drum kit (electronic) and I had a keyboar with a pad and also my phone hooked up playing pad loops | 19:26 |
| wrst | been using tablets/ipads for music stands has been really handy too | 19:26 |
| xTEMPLARx | no doubt! | 19:27 |
| xTEMPLARx | i like using mine for that, although sometimes my poor eyes make that difficult to follow | 19:27 |
| wrst | yeah every sunday I have to give them a rundown | 19:27 |
| xTEMPLARx | esp. when its just chord charts | 19:27 |
| wrst | what do you use? we have been using unrealbook on ipads | 19:27 |
| wrst | there just aren't apps that do a good job on android I tried | 19:27 |
| wrst | xTEMPLARx: I have an ipad first generation I have been using for chords, I just got a mini 2 going to try it out for chords | 19:31 |
| wrst | but may stick with the old one and use this for more fun things, oh and have a bluetooth pedal for page turning that's what I really like about the entire setup | 19:31 |
| xTEMPLARx | for chord charts I've just used OnSong | 19:32 |
| xTEMPLARx | and I'm using my ipad2 still | 19:32 |
| xTEMPLARx | it hasnt' died yet | 19:32 |
| xTEMPLARx | XD | 19:32 |
| wrst | my wife has one but the screen is cracked | 19:37 |
| wrst | have mentioned her upgrading but she sees no need | 19:37 |
| wrst | so guess we would bee looking for an air for her | 19:37 |
| xTEMPLARx | i have only run into a handful of apps that won't run WELL on the ipad2 so not much reason to upgrade. I refuse to be one of those folks who upgrade just BECAUSE, ya know? | 19:38 |
| wrst | yes, it runs stuff well still not as fast as the mini but its several generations behind | 19:39 |
| wrst | that is pretty amazing actually | 19:39 |
| xTEMPLARx | rare in terms of apple devices | 19:39 |
| xTEMPLARx | generally, there are huge leaps in performance improvements between different generations of iphones | 19:40 |
| xTEMPLARx | but with the iPad, not seemingly as much. Granted, I haven't used many of the newer ipad versions, so I don't have any in-my-hands experience to make mine seem slower | 19:40 |
| wrst | as long as apps open and perform | 20:42 |
| wrst | but really apple devices are so much more lived than android devices for the most part | 20:43 |
| wrst | I know you can go cyanogenmod or something for android but for the most part ios just works | 20:43 |
| wrst | for a while | 20:43 |
| * wrst wonders if xTEMPLARx is here to stay for a while... | 20:53 | |
| xTEMPLARx | :D | 21:12 |
| xTEMPLARx | I reckon i'm gonna try to be | 21:12 |
| wrst | about time ;) | 21:15 |
| xTEMPLARx | :D | 21:17 |
| xTEMPLARx | is this channel mostly dade? | 21:17 |
| xTEMPLARx | i.e., deceased? | 21:17 |
| Ubik | not yet | 21:36 |
| Ubik | lol | 21:36 |
| Ubik | but someone is about to be when I get my hands on 'em | 21:36 |
