about 10 years ago I was going to participate in a songfight. I had written lyrics of a rap song for the title "Elements of Style", in which I name-dropped Strunk & White, but mostly concentrated on bad-mouthing Benzino. I used Hip-Hop eJay to create a back track, then tried recording my vocals in that program as well, but I had latency issues, I would record but the playback was delayed about a half-second. at the time my software knowledge was almost non-existent and the computer I was using wasn't very powerful, so I really wasn't equipped to fix it, and I gave up the day before the deadline.
fast-forward a decade, in addition to a fairly good handle on ModPlug Tracker and Audacity, I now own an iPod Touch with GarageBand, which has no latency issues. last year I recorded a demo as part of the RPM Challenge. it was fun, felt good to finally have something finished, even if it had little value other than "proof of concept". so now that I know I can actually make music, I'm going to try to get into songfighting for realz.
Dr Proximo is my "primary" persona, nerdcore hip-hop, but I'm also toying with Van Gauche, which is a continuation of glitch music I made as Ugliness Man when I first started experimenting with MPT. I got back into the site a few days ago, so instead of trying to do a rush job on "Drop in the Bucket" I decided to wait for the next title.
edit: I asked a dumb question about how long it takes for the new title to be announced, I wasn't really taking into account that entries from the previous title have to be dealt with so they can be posted at the same time as the new title, please forgive any appearance of impatience. please don't shoot me.
