Mulker 3, moons of Jupiter - 2002-04-05 - Entry 160 - TOGoS's Journal

Right now I'm working on re-writing 'my life up until now'. Hard work. Especially since I'm tired and sleepy. Jon was over earlier. I was out looking at Jupiter and its moons through the binoculars, and he went and brought out the tripod and that made it much easier to see. Those Mexican folks were over earlier and I made lemonade.

Supposedly Bush finally told the Israelies to stop being so naughty. A lot of good that did :-P. They're just ignoring everybody. I can understand what they're doing to a certain extent; they want to show that they won't put up with terrorism and that if people go blowing themselves up and killing folks that they're friends will get beat up and it won't be any fun. But by killing so many civilians they're being just as bad as the terrorists. No, worse, because they should know better.

I finished Mulker 3 on Thursday night, and made some little fixes to it today after school, as well as to Mulker 2, and am now re-re-encoding as mp3s and uploading to my website. I really like Mulker 3. Mom says she likes Mulker 1 the best. I guess it's more catchy, but then so is 'Banana, banana, I am a banana!'.

I should sleep. Darn Mulker 2 v2. v1 sucked also. Problem with clipping. I thought I had fixed it for v2 but it's still there. Might be in Mulker 3 also, but I don't think I heard it. I should make sure, though I've already listened to that song so many times... I guess the thing is you can't 'Amplify' these MIDIs very much before they start getting clipped. I was playing them at 400% volume. Most of the instruments are being played at less than 96/127. Mulker 2 had some stuff at 96. Mulker 3 is quieter, and so there was less of a problem amplifying it. The sounds of the instruments themselves don't always take up the whole range of volumes, up to the top. But to stay on the safe side I shouln't amplyfy more than to make everything the equivalent of velocity 127. Working on this now...

New music: Naive - Joy Is, Kosmonova - Galactica, got that Gin Blossoms song (Follow You Down or whatever).
