SASHA'S MAKING MUSICKS~!

Holy hell.

I just got done spending an hour and a half on GarageBand on Loki's laptop, and holy shit I have freaking music! I have made music!

Granted, it's only out of the pre-recorded loops that came with the program itself, and rather short at two minutes flat, but I still had fun in creating it! AND IT SOUNDS DECENT!

I won't claim to have created professional DJ quality music, but I think it's pretty good. I'll have a link up for you as soon as it's uploaded to Newgrounds, and when I can get a new fan for my computer I'll have the song on my iPod. Yes, I enjoy my creation that much.

EDIT: Ok, so with Loki's laptop garageband won't save to .mp3 format, which means I can't upload the song until I burn the damn thing to a freaking disk and rip it back off of said disc. ... wut. I'm sorry but NO! JUST FOR TWO MINUTES OF MUSIC, I'll have to cough up a CD and burn it to said CD in order to use the damn thing. I tried sending it to iTunes, and it was sent in .aif format. uhm, what? 

... Forgive me for being rather negative and a bit of a n00b, but WHY THE HELL can I NOT  PERFORM such a SIMPLE TASK as getting a song to go from .band or .aif to A FREAKING .MP3 so I can AT LEAST put it on Newgrounds?! ARGH!

I swear to god, if I can get GarageBand or the equivilant for a windows system I'm going to do it. As much as I like trying new things, as much as I love Loki, and as much as his laptop has been a large help to me, I don't think I can stand doing anything other than ChaCha, checking my email, and getting on Facebook with it. I never really got the entire "how to use a mac 101" growing up, and I'm not entirely sure what they've done to compensate for the fact that macs can't right click (or even if they have), be it holding down some key and clicking or what... but whatever it is (if it exists) I am not aware of it, which just makes my life hell. (I grew up in a Windows only family... I'm used to viruses, spyware, malware, etc... but in return I can right-click for a GREAT DEAL MORE options than is normally possible and get more options as far as software.

... so now that my insane technology-related n00b rant is over, I'm going to go smoke and possibly have some tea. Because tea is always good in these situations.

Blessed Be,
