Daily Audiosurf Shacker Challenge
Since a lot of us have audiosurf I figure it would be good if we had a daily song that we can all compete on.
A few simple rules:
* The winner gets to nominate the next track.
* Obviously we don't all have the same music so your choice has to be relatively mainstream (in terms of the shack's musical taste anyway). I believe there's a shack last.fm group so maybe we could use that for reference? You could alternatively provide free (or shacker produced!) music. I believe sharing gaming music is allowed under the rules as well.
* It's probably simplest if we restrict everything to the Elite cars for now. Maybe we could have a Pro category as well if there's demand for it.
* When posting your score note your audiosurf username, score and car type.
Bean nominated Beastie Boys - Sabotage as the first track, which is fittingly awesome. I started us off at 33,286 with Ninja Mono (username aegix).

My AS settings are - 1440x900 (my native res), normal graphics, 4xAA.
FRAPS movie settings are - Half-size, 60 fps, Record sound is CHECKED, Detect best sound input, Sound Device: SB Live! [EC00] (yes I realize my soundcard is now considered ancient, but it still does what I need it to do), Sound Input: "What U Hear", No Cursor and No Sync are both UNCHECKED.
After I stop recording, I'll end up with a nice 1-2 GB video in my output folder. I then open that video in VirtualDub, I set audio and video to Full Processing Mode. Audio compression is set to LAME mp3 128kbps CBR, and Video compression is set to ffdshow encoder using XviD, encoding method set to One Pass Quality on 75%. (You'll need to download and install both LAME and ffdshow if you wish to use them in VDub, I find them to be the easiest to work with) I choose "Save as AVI" and then set the filename, and off it goes. I end up with a video that is 100-200 MB.
