What capsule was on those? They accomidate different capsules right?
I can not even find good info on those on the internet.
Can't even find a price.

I wouldn't call what passes for rock these days to be rock. More like
overcompressed pink noise punctuated by unoriginal boring angstlyric.

Rock was Led Zeppelin, Rock was Queen,. Rock is (or at least can be) the
Eagles, Rock is Motley Crue, Rock is Areosmith, Rock is The Stones. There
are some new bands coming along that I've heard recently that are really
good and who actually use keyboards and write melodic compositions and know
more than 3 chords. Rock is not and never was Green Day, Nine Inch Nails and
the grungeclones that succeeded Nirvana.

;o)

age in certain situations. I have not noted anything like
this in the VST/DX area, just EDS.
Another undocumented Paris 'feature', perhaps?

------=_NextPart_000_0053_01C6004C.99167C60--I'm with you on everything you say here. I think it's much easier to get
jaded to this stuff when you are a musician and you do know the tricks. Some
days, nothing sounds good to me due to sheer burnout. A drag about your mate
butting heads and all. That's never any fun.

One thing I learned about festivals is to never have expectations that the
next one is going to be great just because the last one was. It way well be
great, but there could be other factors that will mitigate the great ness of
the experience.

Anyway, sorry it was a disappointment for you. I think you need to get your
band together and show up there next year and show those slackers wussies
how to RAWK!!!!

;o)

------=_NextPart_000_007F_01C6003A.CBD0F4D0--My mate didn't make a big deal of it. I jyst found it annoying though that
he had a go at all. I was deliberately not mentioning my dissappointment
at the festival while I was there, and when I mentioned it I didn't think
I made a big deal but he still had a winge. Never mind, he'll get over it.

Being a muso certainly has it's down side I think. Mind you there's the flip
side. For every trick where you do "Ho hum, that old thing" while other's
a blown away, there's a trick somewhere else where you're like "Oh my god!
That's BRILLIANT!! How clever!". There's nothing like experiencing art as
good, and being able to pinpoint exactly what makes it so good, or at least
knowing that you know enough to know that it's definately good.

As for my band, I don't currently have a band. I'm working on a solo show
with a looping pedal (remember my live setup I posted?) but I've got a way
to go yet. Mind you, strangely, they had a solo dude on around 12:30 Saturday
night at Meredith, who's a one man band type deal. He plays electric guitar
and has all kinds of instruments hanging off him, and he's famous for singing
a song called "Boob Scotch". The song opens with him shouting "Hey!! You
put your boob in my scotch!!". Mildly amusing the first time you hear it,
but soon wears thin. Apparently live he gets a girl from the stage to put
her boob in his scotch. I remember thinking though, given the fact that they
come out of the band set into a DJ set starting about 1am which gets a bit
more dancy and goes into the night, that they would have been better to have
my solo act on than his. At least, with my largely funk and groove based
show, I would have offerred some kind of smooth transition from the rock
bands to the more dance based DJ sets. If I get my show sounding OK I may
put in a bid for next year. I'd be willing to go if I was playing. ;o)

Interesting insight about not expecting a festival to be good just because
the last was. Indeed this isn't the first Meredith I haven't enjoyed, but
I've kept coming back and here and there I hit gold. Other times not so much.
I'll quite possibly try again next year. I'll see how I'm feeling about rock.
;o)

I just discovered, in the space of minutes, firstly that they're planning
to hold the Umbria International Jazz Festival in Melbourne again this year,
which I went to last year and loved, and then learned that they've cancelled
it due to the damned Commonwealth Games!! Not until next year now! Outrageous!!!!!
;o)

I mean what's shotput and hurdles compared to jazz? ;o)

Cheers,
Kim.

Cheers,
Kim.

iller song does come around now and then.

Check this out:

http://www.mutemath.com/epsite/

Play with the buttons on the lower right until the song "Control"
comes up. Man, I wish I had written that one.

Cobain was a great songwriter BTW. No one who followed him was.
Too bad. The Beatles generated dozens of bands with great
writers in them. This doesn't happen much any more.

I think it's because people do not want to learn the music theory
involved and wrestle with writing great melodies and lyrics.
It's too much work.

best,

DCI find that toggling the stereo/mono switch in the return section, centres
the effect.
Whenever I recall a saved mix, first thing I do is to toggle EVERY effects
return in all submixes.
This is a bug, but workable once you are aware of it.
I thought more people new about this "feature".

>>Hi,
My guess would have been .aif as well.
But it doesn't really matter, d/l the demo of Awave, it will
work it out for you (with or without extension).
I actually had some mac files earlier in the year which turned
out to be .aif. I had to convert them using Awave Audio before I could use
them. (I didn't want to install quicktime).
Try the demo here: (the demo works for 30 days and has no batch
processing etc, but otherwise should work for you.)

ter do.

The drive runs, via USB 2 to the direct USB port on the back of
the Mini. All audio sources, including all the media players and the
Petersen StroboSoft tuning app work fine.

Ever seen this?

DCCan't say I've ever had a hard drive noise leak through to the audio, but
I've got a 17" TFT Monitor that generates a little noise into my system. The
strange thing is, I have two identical monitors side by side, but only the
right one introduces the noise. If I switch it off, no noise. I chalk it up
to the ghosts in the machines.

Slightly off topic, but how does the Peterson software tuner compare to the
hardware units?

-ChrisTry a different USB cable...

> DCHey guys,

Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried the Awave program and wound up with
the same situations as I had with Sound Forge and Wavelab. I dropped by the
studio and talked with the engineer/producer who generated the disk and he
checked back in his mix session and realized that he had generated SDII
files, which until that moment he had no idea what he was making when he
bounced to disk... so he called a buddy who explained to him that there was
no way to convert that to a windows readable file, short of re-bouncing them
to disk as wavs, which he claimed he wouldn't have a chance to do till after
the new year. So in the interest of time, I'm just going to wind up
mastering them from an audio CD that he generated for mix reference
listening. He dismissed his engineering shortcomings by claiming to be a
guitar player. Fortunately, the mixes he did sound great!

Thanks again guys for all the help!!!
CLCan't you simply convert the SDII mix files on his machine to .wav's?
Would be WAY better to master those than a rip from an audio CD.
Shouldn't take too long to do the conversion on his end.

David.
