Ok, This is Just Too Much Fun!
Got some time and a dash of musical talent? Createbands.com is the place you should visit right now. It's a Flash-based "band maker" where you give your band a name, add in musicians and select the riffs you want them to play, then play with the mix until you feel like Mutt Lang. Insanely fun! I created the uber-cool band Bleeding Daylight (the name of a band I used to be in actually), added some musicians and after some fiddling came up with this riff. Pretty cool! 8) Post links to your bands and riffs - let's see who's got their funk on! :lol:
You can see the full-sized image of my band. That bass player looks better than I ever did playing bass... :wink: This makes me want to re-install that copy of Acid that I got for the book.

How did you record the sound? I don't want to have to use an external mic...

Tried it, sounded like a couple of tracks from Microsoft Monster Truck Madness 2. Possibilities, though. The 'Flying Evil Monkeys' could go on tour.
Now if they could move just a little less jerky and some longer loops. The lighting wasn't very good and I hadn't gotten the percussionist behind the lead guitar.

Windows Sound Recorder, and I set my recording input to "Record Master"

Marketing ... Wrong portal
This should have been a title by Electronic Arts.
Sim Record Executive
Of course, in addition to creating the millenium version of the Village People, you can also:
* Attend power lunches
* Take payoffs
* Be attended to by legions of yes men
* Rob actual artists of all their just rewards
* Endevour to crush small, independent labels.
* Wield might legions of lawyers bent upon destroying file trading services.
* Payoff congressman for silly legislation like the "Digital Millenium Copyright Act".
* Attempt to single handedly reduce a performance art form into manufactured corporate mind-numbing swill.
* Sue boy-scouts jamborees and pizza birthday parties over performance licensing fees.
And much, much more. Of course the game keeps on going. It only ends when your "Sim executive" is a dying old man with a trophy wife who is abruptly sent directly to hell. Abruptly, Satan declares that he's a "big fan" and your sim is forced to listen to the garbage factory music that he's produced for eternity (which really isn't that far removed from your local top20 station).
