Car insurance companies are notorious for offering cheap car insurance policies to females. This doesn’t mean the car insurance companies are sexist, but it does mean the car insurance companies take into account the statistics that show that female drivers are usually safer drivers. Female drivers make fewer claims, drive safer vehicles, and get fewer traffic tickets than male drivers – statistically speaking, of course. Therefore, car insurance companies see female drivers as a lesser risk than male drivers.
First, let me confess, I do have some musical background, like a music school about 15 years ago, which I almost quit a few times, cause I hated scales and sound of a classical music at the time. I also learn to play jazz piano with my friends in a local band called DI-Jazz these days.
So, a month ago I was finishing a cute small PC game with original gameplay I called Smiley COMMANDOS. This was a team of one person game, but it turned out to be a pretty cool strategy with an original gameplay and high replay value, so I’m proud of it : )
As a game programmer and designer, I mostly concentrated on the programming, AI, overall game design, gameplay balancing and nice graphics. When the time of publishing was close I knew I didn’t have any music or sound fx, but hoping that my musical experience would let me quickly pass the stage of inventing sounds and a background tune in one sitting the night before shipping a game to the market.
Man, was I wrong!
First I thought I’d play some jazz improvisation on my professional digital piano, which would sound reasonably good, transfer it to my PC, and use it for the background tune. Yamaha keyboards also have some nice sound fx at different pitches, I could use built-in reverb or other post process fx on top of them, and that would cover my needs for the user interface (UI) sounds, like button clicks, button over sounds, etc.
I went through all sound fx on my Clavinova, and recorded a few. Making a brand-new jazz tune somehow didn’t wanna fit in the game, so after a day of trying to become a game music composer, I ran away from the piano with no soundtrack and several clumsy fx for my game - Smiley COMMANDOS.
Finally, I asked my friend Michael, who’s in game development, and he advised me to dig up my old music software CD I gave him few years ago, and look for a piece of a software called Sonic Foundry ACID Pro. Michael sent me a few songs he made in like 10 minutes each and I was totally charmed with the hot sounds and rhythms!
I downloaded bunch of free ACID loops and started to play with my ACID Pro. I must say that it was a very pleasant addition to my experience of creating new computer games.
It seems that ACID would embed the power of a professional quality sequencer, mixer, recorder and… a knowledgeable sound engineer as well!!!
Thing is that ACID works with these samples called loops, all of them are pieces of music recorded professionally and containing some “acidizing” data, which let ACID to make different loops in different keys glue together without you even knowing it!
You click through the loops of drums or a base and pick patterns, which please your ear the most. Then, choose these loops by double clicking on them in a preview window, so they would appear on a main mixer screen. Next, you move your mouse over a time line for a given track and actually DRAW THE MUSIC dragging your mouse from start to end of the song or it’s part, when you get a hand on this.

Establishing a selling price.The first course of action if selling privately is to decide how much to sell for. This will be the backbone for your selling strategy. In other words, if you ask too much for your property, people will not even bother to view it and will prefer to buy via estate agents. Ask too little for your property, and you are potentially giving away part of your assets! The right asking price is the perhaps the most essential ingredient in the art of selling your property privately and is the
