...wonderful? :D

There are some pretty fantastical claims made in the high-end audio world, some of which are more hilarious than others. Here are some good ones: Digital cables of varying 'musical quality' Machina Dynamica (fave product: flying saucers) PWB Electronics free tips (props for giving these...

CHEESEFEST!!! Yeah it is a bit. Gets fatiguing after a while. What else have you compared it to? The snare is seuper 80s. I guess it's a bit late for editing, but is it possible to tidy up some of the drum timing....?

I love the old Guv'nor, think it sounds great. Especially the Carcass tone :D Get a nice tone running mine in front of my little Tiny Terror combo.

I am in a similar situation and have been monitoring using a good pair of headphones (Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro). I recently got the Sapphire Pro 24 DSP, which has VRM built in, so you can get an approximation of different speaker/room setups through your headphones. It's not perfect, but better...

Oh man. I got Kick Ass Brass a while ago for jass/funk/soul/big band style brass, and that sounds great, though I need to play with it more: http://www.amg-software.com/amgkickassbrass/kickassbrass.html Think I may have to add this near to the top of my wishlist as it's relatively so cheap. Nice.

I don't want Chelsea to win, but equally I don't want Tottenham to get the 4th champion's league spot from the premier league. Hmm...

Playing and production is great, hopefully they'll develop a more original sound in time... Further towards the other end of the spectrum, check this shit out: 15-18 year olds, some sloppy playing (particularly the intro track and the cringey clean vocals) but they've got massive creativity...

To an extent. It is true that the right hemisphere controls the left half of your body and vice versa (pretty much - as in, if you screw up the motor area in your right hemisphere it'll affect the left side of your body). However, it's not the case that music entering your left ear will...

Also, if you're not doing anything else with your computer i.e. minimal background tasks etc, Reaper may well just be hogging your CPU because it can. You only need to worry about it if you start getting real-world performance issues, I would think. Again caveat: I don't know how Reaper works...

No I have a Core i7 (4 cores, 8 threads). But if you're only using 2GB RAM then more RAM won't help with your processor issues. If indeed they are issues - do you notice a performance problem in the real world, or are you just worrying about what the CPU monitor is telling you? Try halving the...

Hmm, I have no problem running Win 7 on 6GB RAM. If you check your RAM usage and it isn't (almost) maxed out, then adding more won't help. I'm not sure how Windows monitors its CPU usage, but I think if you have a dual-core CPU and your processor is at 100%, you are using 100% of 1 core. Don't...

Howdy. South Korea does not use capital punishment for posession or use of marijuana (SK hasn't executed anyone for >10 years, though there are still inmates on death row I think). The Phillipines abolished the death penalty in 2006. Can't comment on the rest of them. They all have ridiculously...

Awesome. I have this on pre-order. I wonder how mucht the rest of the album will vary in mood.

I agree with this. I started teaching myself C++, then learned Java as a first language at universidad. Then Fortran, but we won't talk about that :D Anyway, I think I would have done better if I'd started with Python or Java rather than C++. Something like Python is great for learning...
