Blog ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-changes: Top Loops and Commenting

by on May 21, 2009 in site

top_loopsI’d like to bring your attention to a few changes around here. First up is the Top Loops widget in the right hand sidebar. This displays the top 5 rated loops that Our Rising Sound has released. If you haven’t voted please goto the loops and rate them. Honesty is the best policy, don’t give everything 5 stars unless you thing every single one of them deserves it. And I’m here to tell you not all of them do.

Secondly you may have noticed a new commenting system. I’ve been evaluating Intense Debate for quite some time and working out some issues. It’s up and running now and this allows for a lot more fluid conversation on posts so I expect all you sleeper readers to come out of the shadows and leave some comments. You can vote for comments, reply to specific comments in a thread fashion and now we have gravatar support so you can see pics of who is leaving comments.

If you read this blog, please leave a comment on this post introducing yourself. I know for a fact many MANY more people read the blog than comment, and I’d like to get a bit more interaction going here. Helps with post ideas and makes this blog more useful for everyone involved.

So please leave a comment and let us know who and where you are.

      Thanks for commenting Kendra, nice to meet you. You should create an Intense Debate account since pretty much all LCC sites will be using it.

    I guess I'm one of those 'sleeper readers'. I really enjoy your tips on loops, garageband, and reason. I also enjoy reading your thoughts on worship and what's going on at you church. Keep it up.

    I just happened upon your site while looking for some loop help. I have been reading for a while. It is very helpful. I am a worship leader at a church in Northern California. We are just starting to use tracks with our band. I have Reason 4.0 and am having a blast. I do actually have a question for you. I don't know if this is the place to ask but here goes…In Reason when I use re-drum to make a click track and pan it one way and the instruments the other way I keep getting bleed over. I have taken out all effects and tried every routing confinguration I can think of. I am still new so if you have a work around please explain it like you are talking to a third grader. Thanks so much!

    Hi,

    Have you ever think about creating your very own blog? There are many great platforms, but by far the best is WordPress. It is fast to set up, however the themes just never fit my desires. I looked for a simple solution to this problem and realized that there wasn’t one. I then had a template custom made for my needs and was so happy with the outcome. I then decided to build a website that would show the world how to easily hire an expert in wordpress design.
