>Hi,
I suggest looking at the power supply.
When it distorts just measure the voltage at any chip to see what it gets.
Maybe the transformer does not output anymore (or was never) the right
power.
Try putting a new better bigger transformer.
I guess it is worth trying.

an's opinion.
and a post script:
"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and
more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day
the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the
White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
H.L. Mencken 1880 - 1956
I think this theory is now fact. I think Bush truly believes he is the
"Armageddon" president, and that he and his believers will be picked up buy
Jesus on a chariot. This guy embraces disaster. He drools over it. Policy
aside (I actually agree with about 80% of it), this guy IS a moron.
Do a little research and you'll find a similar "Armageddon" campaign around
1000 AD. Hundreds of thousands died around that time, not because of natural
disasters, but because the majority of the people stopped planting crops,
and starved to death.

ely to be the result of cyclical
ocean and atmospheric conditions that produced heightened storms every 20
to 30 years.
William Gray, a Colorado State University meteorologist who is considered
one of the fathers of modern tropical cyclone science, said worldwide weather
records were too inadequate for a thorough examination of trends.
He told The Los Angeles Times: "The people who have a bias in favour of the
argument that humans are making the globe warmer will push any data that
suggests humans are making hurricanes worse, but it just isn't so ... These
are natural cycles."DJ,I disagree we're in a war as equally serious as WWII.Wanting
to see all sides of the issue could you explain how you came to
believe that.All respect intended.

I'm with you.
The president is not an inspiring leader at times of diaster, but this
f*ckup has to be laid at the feet of the tradition of corruption and
poor government in NO. They knew exactly what would happen
to the levies, they knew exactly how deep the water would be and
where it would go. Why was there not an effective emergency
plan? Where was the local leadership? When NO needed a
Giuliani they got a worthless whiner and no plan. Bush was slow,
as he usually is. No excuses. But compared to the city and state
bozos he is a paragon of virtue.
DCCan't disagree with you there.When Katrina first happened I was
seeing the governor and mayor on tv pretty often;haven't seen
them in a day or two.I hear the mayor is in Baton Rouge now.With
the communications the way they are he might need to be there,but
I don't think the hungry,thirsty suffering people in NO would
think much of their mayor being elsewhere.

of most of the world's scientific community, I dont't know that it was a
major contributor to the magnitude of this hurricane. I recently read that
there is a 40 year cycle of hurrican activity, and we have entered the not
so pleasant part of that cycle.
New Orleans is one of my favorite cities. I was just there in June for the
Tape Op Con. But I think we need to ask the question "does it make sense
to rebuild it in the same place?".

>I tend to agree on this point. The first thing that started really scaring
me was the fact that the governer of LA was near hysterics in a televised

then. And the mayor of NO doesn't seem entirely competent to handle the
situation, either...to put it nicely...
LA leadership is not up the task, never could have been. It's just so
obvious the whole place got caught with a uppercut it never bothered to take
seriously.
It is unconscionable, however, how slow and lazy the Federal response has
been. The various leaders of various agencies, including our not-so-esteemed
boy king, have spent more time making excuses, it seems, than in making
things better.
I am simply horrified with what is unfolding. The political repercussions
will be massive. I predict the head of FEMA will be jobless very soon.

Let me make one thing clear. Slander is creating false statements for the
purpose of swaying ones opinion of a person or entity. I don't see how my
quote...
"I think this theory is now fact. I think Bush truly believes he is the
"Armageddon" president, and that he and his believers will be picked up buy
Jesus on a chariot. This guy embraces disaster. He drools over it. Policy
aside (I actually agree with about 80% of it), this guy IS a moron."
....is false in any way shape or form, unless of c

ourse YOU actually know
what I think better than I. This is my personal opinion, is stated as my
personal opinion, and is backed by my own research. Quotes such as this:
"I feel like God wants me to run for President. I can't explain it, but I
sense my country is going to need me. Something is going to happen... I know
it won't be easy on me or my family, but God wants me to do it."
"God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed
me to strike at Saddam [Hussein], which I did, and now I am determined to
solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not,
the elections will come and I will have to focus on them."
as well as my own interpretation of Bush's reaction to disaster, leads me to
this opinion.
I accept that you don't agree with my opinion, but it is no more slanderous
than George W. Bush's own comments on Homosexuality are slanderous to those
who choose to practice alternative lifestyles.
I also believe that the majority of organized religions were spawned as a
crutch to deal with the fact that as human's we have become temporally
aware, and therefore aware of not only our own existence, but aware of our
own termination. I believe many religions are filled with people who are
simply sheep, following the herd, without really analyzing what the herd
actually stands for. These are the idiots I speak about. You may agree, and
exclude yourself from this flock, or you may disagree, but my beliefs will
remain steadfast. IMOHO George W. Bush is a Bible toting moron.
I believe in God, but I believe that God is far beyond human comprehension
(in fact He is beyond the limits of time itself). I believe most religions
attempt to humanize GOD in order to understand him. This is the issue with
religion that I find appalling. I believe that there is room for both an
creator and evolutionary process. I have no problem stating that anyone
outside this view is in my own opinion, a moron.
again, just my opinion.It's certainly looking that way isn't it?........and this is because of the
*middle* I was talking about. We don't have the balls to stand up and fight
anymore and the enemies of this country know that all they need to do is
wait for the leftists to get their various *activist movements* in gear and
undermine the military effort while spouting off their quasitreasonous crap
while wrapping it in pseudopatriotic bullshit.
It's as predictable as the sun rising and setting.

I am not a partisan person. I wish to god we could have a discussion about
what is going on in the world without all the sanctimony and
self-righteousness.
This link is to a CNN compare/contrast piece which succinctly summarizes the
radical disconnect between the Feds and reality over the last few days.
I repeat: heads will roll. I have a feeling they will include the head of
FEMA, Micheal Brown.
I don't know how to account for the 5-day Federal bungling of this horrible
mess, but I will watch with full attention as certain public officials are
excoriated over this. Some of these folks will be pariahs for a long time to
come.
JimmySeymour Duncan makes a couple of humbucking models that fit in the single
coil pickup space. I have one in the bridge position of my strat that I love.
Don't remember which model it is. Be warned though, they sound like a humbucker
not a single coil.

Expecting Armageddon has been a part of the "Christian Coalition" at least
since I had the enlightening experience of working on the Pat Robertson 88
campaign, so I dont think the original point was too far off.
Does Bush have a role to play? Yes. Like Pharoah did back in Moses time.
Part of God's plan, but not necessarily serving his will.
I dont know, these are just my thoughts.

what a crock of shite Deej. Bush 1 left a huge mess for Clinton to pick
up, who never solved it just sat on it for years. Bush 2 comes in and all
of a sudden Saddam is a threat to the US again? Please. This war was
specifically designed to get Bush reelected by having an active war during
the elections. The repercussions are ENDLESS.http://media.putfile.com/Kanye79Of course it does work under xp ...
Same machine works too but cannot test it because I have not installed

Dunno if you've ever been privy to the insiders gossip.
They discuss biblical prophecy regarding what is now China and Russia. If
you know what I'm talking about you know what I'm talking about. Its an
endless undercurrent of religious discussion and philosophy.

Are we there?
Do you know your role?

When the best the feds could have done, would not have made
more than 1 day's difference, to then bring up Iraq and Kyoto
and all these other partisan unrelated issues, to bash the president
once again using such a tragedy, is is inappropriate and
unacceptable, even immoral to many of us. Apprently it is just fine
with you though.
Balance is not hearing both sides presented here, nor is it partisan
to expect the anti-Bush tirades to abate for a few days at least
during this awful event. It's the decent thing to do. It's obvious
to most people.
To obfuscate this point, to simply turn words around into a debate
is intellectually corrupt. This is what passes for reasoning with you
and I am not going to participate. It is clear that you are less
honest fair or balanced than you present yourself as, and I will not
be responding to you in the future.
DCThere's two big-picture views of last-day prophecies.
One treats books like Ezekiel, Daniel, Revelation, and others like
a code or a set of specific predictions to happen in the future.
These folks make numerous predictions about rebuilding the temple
and the establsihment if the state of Israel is ennormously important
to them. They argue endlessly about tribulations and milleniums
and even sometimes try to set dates in advance for things.
The other is one that follows the advice to the wise virgins to trim
your lamp and watch and wait, to stay awake. These people see
prophecy fulfilled in hindsight as a way of strengthening their
faith rather than as a crystal ball for what will happen next week,
and many are agnostic about tribulations, raptures, and milleniums.
They are horrified that some Christian leaders pretend to know
things that they do not, and when proven wrong, just change the
subject. They prefer the Gospel to human specualation, and are in
it for the long-term.
I am of the latter group.

>You can insert a UAD Delaycomp on each track, set it to 4 instances, then,
after inserting another UAD plugin on that channel, change the delaycomp
plugin on that same channel to 3 instances. This will work, but if you are
taking visual cues from your scrolling editor while automating mix moves,
you will be behind the curve the whole time. Also, the UAD-1 Delaycomp is a
VST plugin, uses CPU cycles (it doesn't use the UAD-1 DSP card) and it needs
to be used with a VST/DX wrapper so if you have a 48 track project happening
with a Delay Comp plugin on each track, you will have a significant amount
of CPU involved in running that many Delay Comp plugins and you will only
have 16 more plugins available in Paris.
This is why I'm using a second DAW running Cubase SX streaming the tracks
via lightpipe and summing in Paris. It's expensive and time consuming to set
up and get it all happening, but once you've got your head around it, it's
a dream come true for mixdown with 4 x UAD-1 cards.

Interesting.http://www.michellemalkin.com/
Great, great stories...I've heard speculation in various forms. It's interesting, but for me
that's as far as it goes (at least beyond my own personal pondering from
time to time). We don't know for sure, and don't gain anything by trying to
figure it out.
God does have a plan for each of us (or knows our future depending on how
you look at it), but the only way to figure it out is to just seek His
guidance daily and then look back and say - "that seemed to be planned -I
did learn something." For me it's usually a dumb decision I made, and
wondered why later :-). God works everyday, we just usually get too caught
up in our day to day or looking for lightning bolts to notice.

good stuff DTerry.
God works in my life on a DAILY BASIS.If any Reason users (or fans), Prop heads released Rebirth free. It's
mothballed now. Seems like it needs a new name now, unless they are
planning on resurrecting it someday. ;-)
FYI, it's a 500M download CD image.

Anti-Hillary (you know a bunch of people will be joining this party soon)
Anti-Clinton (the old party of the Anti-Democrats)There are several reports, including a National Geographic article stating
that the levees were actually decreasing the wetlands in the Miss. river
delta, which are a natural barrier to storm surges. So in effect, the
man-made attempts to prevent flooding, contributed to it. The wetlands
decrease has been happening for 100 years. This isn't a recent
environmentalist vs. the government issue - it's man's own desire to build
where he probably shouldn't that eventually caused the problem levees were
built to prevent; it is also the natural course of changing coastlines.
$25mil, or $250mil - trying to stop nature is futile, but we continue to
try, and blame governments, lobbyists or activists when we fail. We are
pretty silly creatures when you think about it.

good point.... theres no way to stop nature.
it would have been nice to keep those 2 levvees from breaking.
blame is completely pointless. responsibility is completely priceless.I'll tell you what-You can criticize Clinton all you want (i'm not a big lover
of him either) But-He would have been on the ground In N.O showing the people
that someone is in charge and that people care. Bush flew over the fucking
place in Airforce 1 and still hasn't shown his face to the people. Nobody
is perfect and I'm totally turned off to the democrats as well but the new
hampshire paper got it right. He has shown no leadership and he talks about
Trent Lotts fucking house.Step up to the plate.he hasn't.he has mismanaged
this and Iraq terribly-we as a country are in trouble.
Oh Yeah he was sure on the case when he immediately flew to washington along
with DeLay, Hasstert Frisch and these other hypocrits to promote their agenda
to sign a bill for one brain dead white woman in florida-
Don't get me wrong the democrats have shown me NOTHING!! but Bush
is a stupid detached man who has let his neocratic friends take
us to ruin
I was no Guilliani fan either but when the Moment happ
