#105 things that are great about Ninjam

17. You eventually learn that the slider on the left doesn't make you any quieter, either.

8^)

18. You continuously play in Metronom biased environments.

19. You can listen to your own jams. Learn from the experience or just f**ing enjoy it!

20. you can listen to your own jams. and not enjoy some of those, but still realize you've learned something from them :)

21. You get to mix and balanced the jam yourself if you want it.

22. You meet and play with many new musicians and cool cats, some of which you meet in the flesh, and go catch a Joe Lovano gig at the VV evidently.

23. You get to play with a huge collection of Sound FX and VST programs, that enable you to create new sounds that were not common in this part of the universe for at least half a billion years..

24. You can jam whenever you feel like, just like the pre-historic man that had the privilege to sleep etc etc when ever he felt like. Ninjam is to the modern man what the stone was for prehistoric man.

25. You have something useful and fun to do if your thinking of being a professional musician or not.

26. you have something to brag about, or if you choose, to whisper silently into the night, when asked by others if you play in any musical groups, by which the answer normally would turn out being a stealthy "No", Is now replaced with the above.

to be continued..

27. you realise that the mute button is really for...lol

to be continued....

...the mind thinks in words, the soul thinks in music....

"Ninjam is to the modern man what the stone was for prehistoric man" Actually Ninjam is more important.... Point 26 is very important too. Oh and by the way they recently found a stone age flute which means the stone age scene was pretty hip too.

28. You eventually learn none of the sliders affect levels in the mix
29. You eventually learn that autojam's auto-mixing skills suck if people aren't playing a sensible levels
30. ...The jam continues, the players come and go...

to be continued....

I have to admit, the first time I discovered Ninjam, I raped those servers like crazy, 2049 and 2050 were my slave vistas, and ninbot was an extra fornication solution. (took some time to realized that ninbot jams are NOT to be found on ninjam jam-farm site :) a whole lot of time :)

anywayz, the thing i realized, was after so much jamming, like a 2 week homemade Woodstuck + Montreal jam festivals, I was amazed by the following:

31. Whenever I would watch a movie, and music would start, It felt as if it was Ninjam music. Maybe it had to do with playing certain music styles that I wouldnt normally, but anyway, It just seemed like Ninjam had a certain 'musical sound' and I was being warpped into ninjam just from hearing normal music in films etc... that was unreal...

32. After playing so much with sound FX, you begin to hear the Phaser FX when pouring a glass of Cola, or the Flanger pops into your head from a rushing car. Its just that spending all that extra time playing with sound FX, and being in the zone, and after a while your hearing is altered and now you hear in a slightly different way, welcome to the machine!

33. You eventually improve your musical talent! :o) I have noticed this not only in myself, but in many others.

34. You eventually get FREE music lessons, all you have to do is ask! What Key! What chords! How do you do that? What the hell is that noise? ect...lol

35. You eventually learn that music is universal, it don't matter if you speak the same language, if your skin is white, black, brown, pink or purple.......all that matters is the music you make together!

36. You eventually get into the most awesome jam....play your heart out..think to yourself...OMG I just played the best in my life...only to realize that the damn XMIT button was unchecked! @$*(#*%#@!!!!!!!!!!

37. and eventually...again the damn XMIT button #*%#$*#@* lol

...the mind thinks in words, the soul thinks in music....

lolol
So True!

Yeah, that "Hey, everyone's playing so tight along with my input, amazing, this is going to sound so cool... Uh, my xmit's off... :SLAPHEAD:"

38. Eventually you learn not to double click "Post comment" on here ;)

39. Want to play incognito? Just login with "anon" or backward your nick. Eventually you will be recognized by someone anyway :)

40. Sometimes people leave ninjam for good. "Sharon_oZ" anyone?

lol, this started as things that are Great about Ninjam,
and now has become sorta "things that are true about ninjam and that we all share"
well I say... thats just fine with me, which brings us the lucky number 41:

41. You find that most people can be very understanding in terms of what you come up with musically, besides, whats the worst they can do, not pay you for the next gig? ;)

42. Out of the many things in the world (and on the 'net) that cost money, Ninjam is FREE!

"8. You eventually learn the slider on the left doesnt make you any louder"
That made me laugh. :D

43. You learn how when social elements break down there becomes a lot of anon's. :)
44. You learn something about yourself by learning about others in the world and how similar we all are.

45. sometimes you have the luck to get to learn some special ppl that can change your world forever!

Yeah yeah, rub it in why don't ya, :P hehe. :D

I like how #9 is the longest and most crucial sentence.

My problem is I forget things too easily and by looping segments a few 1000 times I start to remember them for a bit. This makes its a bit easy for my poor old memory.

My problem is I forget things too easily and by looping... this seem sorta familiar?

Are yes now I remember what I was going to say about, it helped looping it a little to help jerk my memory but I have to be careful I don't go on too much or I'll forget what I was going to say again.

Anyway I was gonna say... ummm...

I think you are right Synthany but number 26 is also a favorite for me..

46. I've got to give a shout out to Ninbot itself. I love being able to listen into the live jams without logging in to a client, editing jams is cool, and, of course, this always enteratining forum...

47. PEACE&LOVE because you are in peace behind your computer, and you can f*** your wife while playin a super cool chorus ! That's ninjam.

I agree with 46, but 47, my partner doesn't play NINJAM, where did you get yours from? ;) and do they offer a 14 day back guarantee?, in case I'm not happy with my purchase. :P

It's optional :) maybe look in the reaper setting...
PEACE&LOVE

I've found the setting but I'm worried she may not appear beside me and could appear upstairs, and could you imagine my partner in bed and I go clicking the option and a lady appears next to her.

Hmmm, I could imagine that actually, its a risk but I gotta click it now. :P

:D

48.) You can jam without having to leave home and risk exposure to germs.

LOL hahahahaha.

49. This is the longest thread i've ever seen on ninbot.

50. It's an excuse to get wasted every single night.

thanks to ninjam, now i got a solid tight sense of rithm.....and bleeding ears because of the damn metronome,that has been inserted into my brain forever TIC TIC TIC TIC :D

51. You get to No:1 of top 100 simply by voting for yourself.

52. I get an excuse to speak to my wife. (When I need help with translation)

53. You keep Tom out of unemployment.

54. You become an expert at playing at 120 BPM and only 120 BPM.

55. You become an expert in playing in 4/4 and only in 4/4.

Haha, it's turning us all into Robots. :)

i was an expert at 120 bpm way before......its the default bpm for most beatboxes and sequencers around since they existed....tradition :)

56. You get REALLY expert at two-chord vamps... Gm-D7 anyone?!?!

Which takes me back to #34....wth is GM-D7??? lol :o)

59. You can look like s*** but play like hell
60. You can drop silences but noone will notice
61. There is no plan so nothing can go wrong

I love the lounge - being able to listen in, without loading the client, and I love the players list - being able to see where everyone is from - though not 100% accurate as it shows me as from Bangkok and I swear I've never been there! LOL I love the spirit behind it and the opportunities it gives us. Mad crazy fun.

I love its now 64 and growing and what a clever person who started this thread. :)
