So what is the submission process? send a render with nothing on the master to the address mentioned? what kind of headroom should we be aiming for, etc?

Flipperwaldt, thanks a load for those samples! They sound much better than the emulations I'd been toying with. While I'm generally a lofi kinda guy who just stretches one note across the keyboard, I'm working on setting the whole lot up for Sforzando (plogue's free aria engine sampler), and I'll upload the sfz file for everyone when I'm done.
I've been using Martin Zuther's K-Meter and mixed towards K-12. To me, that's an ok balance between dynamics and loudness. It wouldn't be excessively quiet if nothing else is done to it, but it's also just conservative enough to have room to squeeze out a bit more if that helps it fit in better with the other tracks.

I'd be interested in the sfz, because I thought I was having problems with usb 3 with my interface again since I upgraded to Windows 8.1, but it seems to be related to ShortCircuit itself, all other plugins behave problem free. I'm now testing TX16Wx, but it would be nice to be able to exclude a quick parking harddrive as the cause by loading those samples in SFZ+.

Last time we tried this some one sent stems and got pissed when the volunteerer masterer had the audacity to play around with them, so yeah, single stereo track, lossless, no metadata.
Nah, if I had sent stems or had been asked for stems, it would have been clear there was going to be done more than matching volume levels and I would have been ok with whatever came out of it. No need to present it as even more moronic than it was; it definitely gets to boneheaded on its own merits and again a mea culpa to the thread for that.

I would prefer stereo WAVs at 24/48 and 3db of wiggle room but as long as you're not digital clipping I do not care. Everything I've got so far has been all good.

I really should have come up with something better before spending five bucks on this.
Bonerz away to meet the mastering chain. Dunno what I'll be working on next but clearly I need a bullshit justification for all the sweet stuff at NAMM so I should tailor my next project to fit that.

My next project is keyboard solo music for lush pads but the player only has exactly six fingers to work with to play notes.

I was thinking finding an appropriate noir passage from Neuromancer or some other sci-fi noir, but that works too.

No Boogie Nights though, I've got Blade Runner and Total Recall for sci-fi on BR, gimme timestamps and I can cut proper quality samples for yas

Thanks, but at this point, I'd rather just let the track sit as is but I was already thinking about returning to it in the future.

Speaking of soundbites, what is your preferred way to extract something from say, an mkv file? I'm using a mac. I've tried things like wavtap and soundflower before but remember it being a hassle.

Can you use the final audio output mix / monitor / "what you hear" as a recording source?

Demux it with FFMpeg. At least that's what I do with .avi and .flv files. I'm not actually sure FFMpeg does .mkv, but the answer is demuxing nonetheless.

Soudforge, even the gimped out consumer version, works tolerably well for this if you have the patience for it to draw the waveforms out on long files.

I'm not sure if this quite fits the boner jam theme but I tried to make something sexy (not sure if I hit my mark).

Anyways, here is my submission-

Not easily in ableton as far as I know. I think I have used soundflower to make this happen in the past, but I can't recall.

Flipperwaldt: demuxing sounds like the google keyword I was missing, thanks alot!
Ninjaedit: iMkvExtract pulled the soundfile out in a second. This is nice.

It's all self-regulating though; eventually you sell 5 synths you don't need. To buy one synth you really don't need.

But then you hate that one synth and sell it for a buttload of cash, and you just buy 5 other ones. The cycle never ends. Only through Synth Buddha can one break the cycle of despair.

So I tried and failed to open my new-to-me Ultranova, but the process of flipping it around and trying to find all the screws and get it open has resuscitated the key for now. I'm pretty sure the cause was either dirt or it getting stuck in transport from the music store to home. Hopefully it doesn't die again.

After hitting a fairly large wall in my attempts to make a K2000 editor for ipad I might just end up doing this with the new roland hybrid if the price is right for the full sized poly one.

Say I'm working on an extra BonerJam right now, how many dicks would I have to suck for a 24-36h extension right now? Basically it's the middle of the night here and I can't check anything on my speakers because of the thin walls. Also I've yet to finish it (actievely working on that), but it's shaping up nicely so far.

Dude......you're the reason for the deadline in the first place. Whether startyde minds getting it a few days late is up to him. Telling you right now though, you're forfeiting the privilege to hear the mastered version before it goes up, to request a resubmit/rework, to request a pull if you don't like it and any chance to complain about the end results in the forum.
