How Many Gigs of RAM Will I Need To Run Minecraft Well?

Posted on February 14th, 2012 by admin

I’m getting a new computer because my laptop can’t run Minecraft without lagging. Even on tiny render setting and fast graphics. I’m just curious to how many gigs I would need. Thanks!

2-3 Gigs is efficient enough. I have 2 gigs of RAM and it runs good on Normal fog view.

How to get gigs for a solo artist?

Posted on February 9th, 2012 by admin

I am a solo artist trying to get my name out to the people. I just wanna know, how do I find gigs for myself to play. I have NO connections in the business and I am NOT comfortable with Battle of the Bands. Is there anywhere online I can find gigs.

A great way to go is House Concerts – perfect for the solo performer. You get an appreciative audience, you get to play your original material and they can pay well if done right.

A few great resource sites are:

How can I get gigs for my metal band?

Posted on January 26th, 2012 by admin

We’ve gotten a few gigs before, but mostly parties and things with people we know who gave us a chance to play. We played a battle of the bands once and won second. I really want to find some real gigs, but I don’t know a lot of small venues that are open to thrash metal, and any venues of any size that I find, I don’t know how to go about getting the gig. We’re in the Downingtown/West Chester area (outside Philadelphia) if you know any venues that would be interested.

Talk to some similar bands in the area, try starting with secret shows at small, private "venues" (usually rigged-up garages are the ones I’ve played at)

Eventually, if you’re good enough, you’re likely to end up playing with a more popular band (thus gaining you notoriety) or for people there to recruit for larger shows.

How much is 2 gigs of data really for phone usage?

Posted on December 1st, 2011 by admin

I was looking into phone services for when my contract ends, but 2 gigs seems like so little. But maybe its not.

To use up all 2 gigs of data in a month, what would you have to do? How many apps to download, does havent facebook connected all the time kill that usage, all that, because I dont know and really I just use wifi for now.

Someone clear this up for me?

Every carrier has a data calculator on its website. Go find one and play with it.

How to get invited to perform gigs on The Sims 3 Late Night?

Posted on November 24th, 2011 by admin

When I first got late night October 2010, I created a band but never got gigs.

Then i thought they fixed this bug a while ago but I played yesterday and created a band and still no gigs.

What do I have to do?

steps 1-8

1. Have 4 sims have a level 5 in each drums, guitar, bass, and piano. (i now it works with 2 you can try.)
2. Have them become best friends and have their celebrity points get up to 3 stars.
3. Have someone ask the other 3 to join his/her band.
4. Register them as self employed
5. keep practicing.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
6. ONLY ONE SIM will get a cell call for the gig not all 4! when your phone rings answer it and it will say something about your band name.
7. Read carefully about what the opportunity.
8. lets say the gig is from 5pm – 9pm, the person that got the gig, when he/she can go to place of the gig complete the gig, go there and the whole band will go there.
Hope this helped got it from another person :P

How do I find babysitting gigs in my area?

Posted on September 29th, 2011 by admin

I need money to buy a homecoming dress, my family is really tight on money, so i wanna use my own, so i need to babysit. I’m not old enough for a real job. How do i go about finding gigs and people who need babysitters?

As another poster said, use Sittercity.com, but also try Care.com. Both sites are the most popular amongst us parents looking for babysitting.
You will need to post an a profile about yourself on both sites. As a parent, I have some advice on what to include that will help you get interviews.
Take the background check (it’s $10) if you are serious about babysitting. Parents feel more comfortable with those individuals that have this done already.
Post a good picture of yourself looking as clean-cut as possible and smiling.
Be as descriptive as possible about yourself, your qualifications, your past experience, even about what motivates you to want to work with children and since you are young, something about your future aspirations and family life.
Make sure your availability is current and that the pay rate you post is reasonable. In other words, if you are younger than 18, a pay range of $15 to $20 is much too high.
Good luck!

I am a solo artist trying to get my name out to the people. I just wanna know, how do I find gigs for myself to play. I have NO connections in the business and I am NOT comfortable with Battle of the Bands. Is there anywhere online I can find gigs.

The best place for solo artists to start out is at open mics, usually the people are nice and a lot of people attend them. They’re the easiest and best way.

What Video Camera or device do you guys recommend to record band practices, gigs and concerts?

Posted on March 14th, 2011 by admin

Im looking forward to buy a Camera or device that records good video quality and sound quality because i want to record during concerts and gigs. I Also want to record a few band practices. What do you guys recommend? My budget is anything thats $200 and down. Thank you.

Honestly, for $200 I’d opt for a good digital audio recorder, one designed for music such as these by Olympus:

http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/cpg_voicerecorders.asp?section=pcm

Digital video in that price range is poor at best (Yes, even HD), and the audio is highly compressed and even worse than the video. If you can up your budget to $250, the best audio and video you can get is Canon’s ZR960 MiniDab tape camera.

Seems counter intuitive, but the quality of MiniDv exceeds even high end HD cameras, and MiniDab uses uncompressed audio with better than CD quality.
