Ok, This is Just Too Much Fun!

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.createbands.com/' target='_blank'>http://www.createbands.com/</a><br /><br /></div>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 <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/files/sweetness.wma">came up with this riff</a>. Pretty cool! 8) Post links to your bands and riffs - let's see who's got their funk on! :lol: <br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/createbands-small.jpg" /><br /><br />You can see the <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/createbands.jpg"> full-sized image of my band.</a> That bass player looks better than I ever did playing bass... :wink: This makes me want to re-install <a href="http://www.sonicfoundry.com/products/showproduct.asp?PID=513">that copy of Acid</a> that I got for <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0735618739/jasondunn-20/">the book.</a>

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"

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).

Has anyone else played "Rockstar Ate My Hamster"? :)
