Just played Song for the Dead on pro drums and it seems during the last bit of drum craziness all the toms are showing up as cymbals. I’m pretty sure they’re supposed to be toms anyway, sounds like it, but if not, disregard.

Yup you’re right, seems like the pro markers are a bit too late, I’ll fix this asap.

[Ollie]

Do you have anymore Our Lady Peace songs in the works?

Nope. To be honest I’m not really familiar with their work and don’t intend to be in the near future, and unfortunately the time I can spare for charting these days is way too limited to start working on songs I don’t like or care for.

 

ollie, i have a petition….. by any chance do you have anything Of ALIZEE???? like…… alizee jai pas vingt ans

 

 

Hell would probably have frozen centuries before I even contemplate charting this. And as TSQ kindly suggested, do your requests on the requests section and not on peoples threads, especially since you’re posting videos on multiple posts.

[Ollie]

I hope they upload the stream to youtube afterwards. I’ll most likely miss the stream itself, so it would be nice to be able to watch it ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

As long as you don’t wait months before trying to view the video, you can always replay it on harmonix twitch channel, under the “videos” tab.

I’ve got two other customs on the go right now that are nearly finished – I’ll be starting on the Lily songs next ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

I can point you to/send you multitracks of some of her songs. Let me know if you want to collaborate as well, I started working on Smile and F*** You eons ago.

[Ollie]

Ah ah ah, well I know who to hire if I ever need a publicist, nicely done, Sir ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

[Ollie]

Thank you all once again for your kind words. It definitely means a lot to me.

 

[edited for space]

Congrats for your work, releasing (almost) a full album all by yourself is a pretty strong accomplishment that you can be proud of and thanked for.

 

I’ll try to give you feedback for Gimme all your loving and Sharp dressed man once I’ve played those.

There you go, so you get my point. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” /> Those who pay sometimes get tired of paying and having to comply to rules mainly pushed by those who don’t pay. Not sure why you’re so angry too: if the UK was paying so little and they had so many advantages, why do you care that they want out? Any member can review its position, what’s a problem with a nation leaving the union?

I got your point the first time about the fact that they’re “giving” money, mate. Like Germany, like France, like Italy… But like I said, they paid and did less than the others (others who’re actually paying for the rebate they got, btw) but managed to leverage what they gave to push the rules their way (thus making the whole no taxation without representation point pretty invalid imo). The UK never had to comply to anything it didn’t want to, and especially not to rules that would have been made by countries that “receive” money, ie the eastern European countries who joined the Union way after the moment the main rules have been set.

 

I’m not especially angry or bitter about the exit by itself, I simply hope than it will be dealt with properly : if you want to be all by yourself, be my guest, but don’t compain if we, continental europeans, don’t want to give you free access to the single market you so wanted or solve for you the refugee issues you contributed to create by your actions (still looking for those nuclear weapons Saddam had, Tony ?) without any kind of fair compensation.

 

The brexit proponents said (and seem to believe) that everything should continue the way it was, minus the money the UK gave : sorry for the pro EU Britons, but the brexit needs to and will impact the UK first and foremost. Because if the UK waltzs freely out of that mess, it would be a terrible blow to the Union that would have dire consequences on all other european countries, including mine. And THAT would piss me off.

 

And once again, I’m far from being a fan of the way the EU works, but I feel like the UK showed up uninvited to a party I made with my friends with a pack of hot Stella Artois, emptied the fridge, tried to make out with our GF/BF, picked up crappy music all night long, pucked everywhere and left drunk at 4am without thanking anyone. I’m pretty relieved if I never have to deal with him again and I sure hope Mr UK didn’t destroy the concept of partying, even if some of my parties sucked.

[Ollie]

 

The UK is in the group of nations that contribute more than they spend. You can call it “contribution”, but the concept is the same: moeny goes from the UK to the EU to be redistributed to other nations.

Yeah the UK are net contributors to the EU budget (ie the UK gives more than it receives), but that’s the case for every big country in the EU, so I fail to see your point here, especially since the UK’s paying significantly less than what it should (and we’re talking 5 billions €/year of net contribution for the UK, which is pretty much peanuts).

 

In exchange, it had free access to the european market without internal tarriffs (UK complained a lot about common agricultural policies, let’s see how its agricultural sector will fare by itself to feed the country), had most economic policies of the Union tailored made (see the status of the London Stock Exchange for instance, who’s allowed to trade freely in Euros, freely merge with Frankfurt SE and the like…) and was allowed to cherry pick what part of the treaties it wanted to follow or not.

 

Where they banned or had limited voting rights in the European Council, the Commission or the Parliament ? Nope, nope and nope.

 

So the UK paid less, had the same representative rights as the others (UK citizens last voted for their european representatives 2 years ago, I don’t think they have forgotten) and was pretty much allowed to do what it felt like. Terrible deal, I totally get why it wanted out.

[Ollie]

The slavery comparison is way out of line, but the rest of the comment is accurate. Frankly, I’m surprised how little mention is being made of 1776: this is LITERALLY half of the people who voted in the UK saying “no taxation without representation”.

Are you talking about the “But the cost of freedom and independence is always worth it” part, because to me it’s directly linked to that very inapt comparison with slavery and not the 1776 independance (which concerned the UK as well…).

 

As for the no taxation/no representation part, considering how the EU has no direct taxation powers, how the UK had negociated very favorable financial terms (rebates on its contribution to the general EU budget so that its net contribution equals roughly 0,5% of its GDP, refusal of the future financial transaction tax, among others…), how the European Commission & Council have been under heavy pressure of the deregulatory/free market school of economics the UK heavily influenced and profited from, and how the EU budget is voted by the EU parliament which contain UK members, with full representation and voting rights (despite the fact that the UK was not part of the Euro, not part of the Schengen area, and was the “poodle” of the US as far as foreign policy and military are concerned, often turning its back to the rest of Europe on these issues), and you’ll understand it seems far-fetched to me and a bit too theoretical/ideological to think that’s the issue here.

 

As a matter of fact, I imagine that the slogan is well-known in the UK and to my knowledge no one dared (or cared) to use it during the campaign, not even Farage who is prone to use it from time to time at the EU parliament. Ironically.

 

But it would be way more pertinent for our Norwegian friends… or for the British expats/EU citizens living in the UK who couldn’t vote for the EU referendum despite paying their taxes in the UK.

 

Never mind the Brexit…here’s the Sex Pistols.

 

The funny thing is that “Anarchy in the UK” was probably the most used newspaper title all over Europe this week. They made the Sex Pistols relevant again !

[Ollie]

I’m no political expert but I equate Brexit to the times of slavery in the USA. Britains want independence from a larger governing body, just as slaves wanted their own independence. Democrats claimed it would be too costly to give blacks their freedom. And no doubt it was costly to some. But the cost of freedom and independence is always worth it. IMO, if you’re worried about banks, stocks and Wall street… well I feel you’ve missed the point.

 

Just my 2 cents. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

Wanted to stay out of the whole conversation, but honestly couldn’t help myself after reading that. You should try to take at least some interest in politics, because comparing Brexit to slavery shows Trump-level ignorance, at best, and is insulting on so many levels it’s painful to read.

 

 

As for the bigger picture, the whole racism/immigrants crisis has played a important role in this, but as Farottone said the whole european governance crisis and the increasing gap between the values of the so-called elites and the Orwellian common decency is probably the main culprit here. Ironically, since the UK was somewhat of an odd member of the EU (they were neither in the Eurozone nor the Schengen area), being out will probably increase their immigration-related issues, partially impact their financial services driven economy and lead to the political implosion of their country, but hey, you gonna reap what you sowed.

Nope. I can’t even find the python26.dll file! I checked in the DLL’s folder, and I read some reports of it being sent to the System32 folder, but it’s not there either. I installed it from the link above and used the default settings, so no idea what’s going on…

Well it’s not like I love to quote myself but, assuming you’re using windows 10 64bits :

You need to install the x86 version if you’re using Reaper 32bits (python26.dll directory will be C:WindowsSysWOW64) or the x86-64 version if you’re using Reaper 64 bits (python26.dll directory will be C:WindowsSystem32) and to follow this as well

If you can’t find it there, try using the windows search file fonction

[Ollie]

Do you have to change the variable value from python 27 to python 26?

Yeah

 

Reaper isn’t recognizing that version of Python at all, even when I direct it to the specific directory. I’m using Reaper 32bit and I installed the x86 version.

Strange. Does it work if you type in “python26.dll” in the “force python to use .dll” case ?

[Ollie]

Try this, it may work http://customscreators.com/index.php?/topic/10662-c3-automation-tools/?p=1000008130

[Ollie]

Updating my PC to windows 10 made Reaper unable to load Python for me as well (same issue as the one described in the previous posts).

I found a fix by unstalling python and reinstalling python 2.6.6, it seems that the ctypes library doesn’t install properly with the following versions. Well at least for me.

https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/

You need to install the x86 version if you’re using Reaper 32bits (python26.dll directory will be C:WindowsSysWOW64) or the x86-64 version if you’re using Reaper 64 bits (python26.dll directory will be C:WindowsSystem32) and to follow this as well

Hope it will help those who are still experiencing issues.

[Ollie]

Thanks for the RPP file! My tempo map is a mess!

Well actually it’s not that much of an error because you switched back to 4/4 at the right time, but your 3/4 section desynchs the song (the drums snare hits should be at x.2 and x.4, it’s a regular beat) from a musical standpoint. It wouldn’t be an issue in game, except for overdrive depletion.
