The Logic Off Topic list

Last Christmas I had to buy the Eminem CD as a present for my 12 year old
Niece. The language was ok for a 12 year old so thought  my fair minded
sister, however was definitely not a good idea for my nieces younger
siblings to hear "Mother f*^&*er" and so forth.

The result was that my sister asked me if I could burn a CD copy with all
the swearing taken out! for my niece to play infront of her younger sisters.
Thinking it would only take an hour or so, I agreed.  Using Logic and or
Cool Edit, it took me EIGHT HOURS, there was that much bad language and
shock value lyrics. At the end of the session I felt my brain would be
irretrievably twisted by the experience- that explains a lot then..... :-)

Using Logic my SW1000XG and Rode NT1, I then sampled an Eminem loop, and
made a spoof Eminem rap tune for my sisters kids-

"My name is....My name is...... My name is  ..funky unky John"

Cheers

John
