Of course, it's my say as to whether something goes in and I not allow any mini guides to do things like point at videos that suck or write about things in a rude or abusive manner. The mini guides should all be friendly.


You have just proved to me that the purpose of having power on the .org is to make my life miserable. :evil:

So, you want abusive and insulting guides?

By having the final word in the nature of the content, means that he can not only insure a relatively consistent look and feel for the guides as well as maintaining that they conform to .org standards (like no linking to downloaded footage, or songs) but also that they are not simply rips on crappy videos.

There are plenty of people that can whip out a readable guide in the space of a night, and some of them are not what you would call nice to newbies.

I've already sent him a copy of my mini-guide. It won't change the world or anything, but it should at least get some people used to some basic concepts and help them understand some underlying structure of songs in a way that can be used realistically.

Actually several people have seen what I've done. Some the complete form, but others got it in digest form through the process of OPs. By doing this, guides forum I can simply point to this instead of typing out musical theory everytime I do a review for someone that could use the advice.

I'm looking forward to seeing what some of the other users have come up with. So for all those guys, and gals that said they have ideas but need to send them in... the song goes;
"how about a little less talk and a lot more action!"

madbunny, I've been working on my mini-guide since I talked about it.

Only problem is, I don't think it's a mini-guide anymore...(More like comprehensive 0.o)

And no, it's not a newbiew view of so-and-so guide. =\

Hey, I don't know about anybody else, but if you can show me something new, I'm willing to listen.

Well, if for some paranoid reason(not saying that AD's paranoid) AD doesn't accept it, you can view the guide here.

What is your mini-guide baout, SQ?
If I ever get off my ass to write something again, I presume I'll write the guide on how to use overlays, which I've been struggling with for 6 months.

Well, AD wanted mini-guides to be ideally only one page long.

So, what used to be a Lyric & Action synch guide is now split.

SQ's Lyric synch guide
and
SQ's Action synch guide.

That said, madbunny also sent in his guide, which is about song pre-editing. It's good..

I think if we make the ps2 ripping sticky from Castor Troy and make it into a mini-guide, we're all set for the mini-guide section. ;)
