Yup, that's going in Issue 4. Issue 3's interview is jji7skyline

Ah, I see, only one inerview per issue. Got it. The magazine's weekly now? By the way, do you think you can add a section in the next issue that kind of advertises my video game music shop? You don't have to.

Yup :p 1 interview per issue, and yes, advertise 

I'm planning on putting in a few adverts per issue, to get a bit of publicity 

Thanks!    I only got one request so far.

Only 1 request? I've seen quite a few on your forum 

Really? Maybe it was just replies to the request. But you may be right, let me go check.

While I'm at it, what does everybody think about the new font?

It's nice.

Can I set up a post on the show and tell and ask if anybody would like to get interviewed for Scratchazine?

How to get engine sounds and manual transmission in a Scratch project

Okay, so you have your project. You have a car sprite and a background. You want to put in engine sounds and a manual gearbox. (NOTE: This also works with motorcycles or anything else that needs engine sounds). Create 3 variables, one for RPMs, one for Velocity and one for the Gear speed.

Create scripts that calculate the velocity via RPM x Gear. Add a script that makes the car move according to velocity. Add a script that changes RPM when accelerator (usually up arrow or space) is pressed and lowers the rpm when the accelerator is not pressed. Define some keys for gear change. (I used “w” for gear up and “s” for gear down). When the gear is changed up decrease the RPM by a set value and change the Gear variable by +1. When the gear is changed down increase the RPM by a set value and change the Gear variable by -1.

To create the realistic engine sound, create a script saying forever play note
(rpm/(set value)). Set the instrument to gunshot for a hard but powerful engine sound and fretless bass (finger) for a softer more tamed engine sound.

You may like to simply show the variables as they are or convert them into instruments. This is not covered in this article. To look at an example see my “   Drift Car with Engine Sounds Manual Transmission” project.

What about this one? Why wasn't this in issue 3?
