What are you talking about? Aren't you the club curator? And didn't you tell me that you were planning to run for club president next year?Horizons said:

I will be at the Adventurers Club getting the area music that you asked about sometime in the next week. I've got an excellent plan.

What's with all this DPMWJ business? I swear, I'm out of it for a little while and everybody starts getting delusions of grandeur...
As for that Adventurers Club area loop, you better have some time on your hands. Some folks I know are working on piecing together several partial recordings of the loop, and it seems it is much longer than most BGM loops on property. They're estimating its around 75 minutes total.
When I'm down at the club a week from Saturday I might just stick the pickup somewhere discreet if I can and leave it running until I leave.

n. A mixture of the expressions "a piece of cake" and "a walk in the park." Used to describe a task that is extremely, ridiculously friggin easy.
Not to worry, I've got it covered, and it wouldn't matter if it were three hours long. This one is a cakewalk.Club 33 said:

It took me three friggin hours to get home after Epcot's fireworks last night... and I live all of 10 minutes away in Celebration.
You do know that the cloob is busiest on weekends... and that it's the 4th of July weekend to boot, right?Horizons said:

Good point about the crowd levels at AC. I still may give it a try, assuming I am in Downtown Disney around 7.
I'm glad I passed on going to EPCOT then. How early do you need to sit down in order to secure a spot in World Showcase?Jay said:It took me three friggin hours to get home after Epcot's fireworks last night... and I live all of 10 minutes away in Celebration.

Re: The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror - Exterior BGM Playlist
Having already seen the 4th of July show from a front spot in previous years, and knowing that people try to weasel in on your personal space at the last minute, even though you grabbed the spot four hours ealier, I decided I wasn't going to get into any of that this year.
I actually got on the monorail over to the TTC at around 8:00 PM so that I could get a 2nd recording of the 10 minute announcement at the MK. I was in place at my favorite speaker by 8:20 PM. That's how I know there was no 10 minute announcement last night. I ended up watching/recording the full show so as to not have my trip be a total waste.
My family remained back at Epcot, and grabbed a spot over near Africa (lighter crowds there) around 9:15 PM. A couple of phone calls and some red-white-blue blinking lights got me to the right spot by 9:45 PM. We were directly behind a family sitting on a bench right at the water. Pretty good for not having camped out five or six hours early.
That depends on how good of a spot you want. Some people are camped out in prime locations as early as 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM.Horizons said:

I could be mistaken, but I believe the AC doesn't open until 8:00 PM.Horizons said:

Celebration? Temporary? What would give you that idea? There are real homes there, some of them having sold for as much as $5-6 million, and I believe we're up to around 5,000 total households now (counting what few apartments haven't been converted to condos).SeaCastle said:

Oh, I was probably reading from an out of date Birnbaum's guide.
"With the addition of the Celebration Hotel, which opened in fall 1999, guest can do more than just visit this quaint little town - they can move in! (If temporarily.)"
Maybe I didn't catch the wording.
OT: Do they have school systems in Celebration (is it self sustaining)?

Re: The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror - Exterior BGM Playlist
Yes, they originally had a single K-12 school, as some sort of "educational experiment," but they ended up building a separate elementary, high school, etc. There is a college in town as well. And an absolutely beautiful hospital. A fire station, post office, banks, restaurants, barber shop, all sorts of stuff.SeaCastle said:

I was at the cloob last night for a little fun. I wasn't paying complete attention, and I didn't have a watch with a sweeping second hand, so I can't give you an exact figure, but I can tell you that it was approximately 120-122 minutes before I heard Glenn Miller's In the Mood and, two tracks later, Pennsylvania 6-5000 come back around.
You better tell 'em to locate some more pieces.Club 33 said:

Im lookin for an induction recording of the loop to identify the sources of all the tracks. I've already tracked down six, thanks to the induction recordings on towerofterror.org. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

I know this post is a bit dated but hey...better late than never I always say.Randy Thornton said:
Randy you are absolutely correct in your theory. With the old analog consoles that was the preferred way of handling reverb and fx returns. That way you could not only automate the returns you could also EQ the reverb "sound" itself separately from the source. I didn't personally create the echoey effect used for the BGM loop on Tower so I don't know the exact settings that were used but I can say with about 95% accuracy that the box used was a Lexicon 480L. It was (and still is) a very complex fx box that could create just about any effect needed.
