What I normally do with archie is shake is hand as he offers it, give him a big hello, say "hi archie, hows it going, you alright? Im OK today thanks, no worries, have a good one." he doesn't know what to do with that... i have yet to seem him drop his persona but im sure its hammed up to ...

Im not big on buying second hand cd players. in my experince having to deal with repairs, by the time they get to a certain age, if one component doesnt go, another will. and with a lens, rail, etc there a quite a few things to go wrong. if they are relatively new it shouldnt be such a drama, but st...

the fundamental question if if you want a dual rackmount style unit, or the moving platter style "scratch" unit. options become more simple once you make this decision. plenty o places/venues still only have the rackmount style. which offers less malleability of the playback, but can still...

FoundationStepper

he probably wont quote... or at least he will charge for the time to quote. but if you want it repaired its the way to go. just ask him to let you know if its going to be a big job or a small job once he gets it open. its its major (ie not worthwhile) at least you have the oppurtunity to take the fe...

could be as simple as a dry joint.

could be as fucked as the whole output stage.

answer= ian at sond developments (back of warehouse sound)

he wont be quick be he "usually" does the job.

FoundationStepper

dammit im getting all excited about hifi again

feel like I am a kid who has had too much sugar

technology all buzzing through my veins

FoundationStepper

The B&W Nautilus 801 is a fine sounding speaker though...

I never got to hear the original nautalius.

my dream hi fi is a naim audio setup... with dynaudio speakers

oh yeah

FoundationStepper

B&O suck designer yuppie arse. and as for bose... the most awful waste of money... Bollocks Oversold Every Day Buy Other Sound Equipment Anyway, I used to work for a very high end Hi-Fi shop. My recommendation is go british for nice pair of bookshelves. Generally speakering: Japanese is too brig...

cheers for the info...

so how much should i expect to pay for a 17" or 19" LCD with DVI? big jump in cost?

FoundationStepper

anyone here with a powermac g5? do you recommend getting a dvi compatible LCD or just going with a standard RGB? is it a huge price jump to go to the next level... and is it justified? it seems like LCD have dropped in price in the last 12 months? I thought $320 was pretty average price for a 17&quo...

FoundationStepper

I can only see one fault with it... its a Behringer with moving parts. Experience tells me that this is likely to be an issue....

maybe not so much if theres no audio running through the parts themselves...

its when behringer do audio that I get worried

FoundationStepper

now KV2 - that really tickles my fancy.. again a complete ground up system but there are some nice aspects about the architecture, such as the way amps can be housed and accessed... I went to a line array and phase theory session hosted by meyer and checked out some of thier line up - have to agree ...

FoundationStepper

are you pluggin into the same powerpoint as the rest of the audio equipment? if not then try putting the lappy on the same powerpoint as the mixer/amp/whatever you are plugging into. if this doesnt work you can try grounding the chassis of the two bits of equipment, with any kind of wire connecting ...

FoundationStepper

also consider the ability to be cleaned. MPCs are good for bloodmarks i hear

FoundationStepper

does stand alone complex have subtitles and overdubs? is the translation any good?

I spoke to the guy who does repairs at Warehouse Sound and he reckons its just over the master buss...

intriguing

FoundationStepper

the prob with ghost in the shell its its all wafty philosophy which kind of gets lost in a bad translation.

oh yeah - wafty philosophy and lady cyborgs

FoundationStepper

is it the proper release of ghost in the shell innocence or the dodgy chinese tranlated one?

FoundationStepper

I thought as much. it doesnt make sense that the master send would be affected. in all mixers the master send is isolated from the record bus its just that we has a strange experince at the jungle soundclash when recording the mixes. when we started the the djm was set up really hot (at the back att...

FoundationStepper

with the little grub screw on the back that attenuates the master output level, does anyone know if it also affects the record output bus as well?

FoundationStepper

Yes indeed. was a very enjoyable performace. some pieces really got me, others ... a moderate interest.

very much worthwhile

FoundationStepper

Ummm I just got tickets last weekend. when the guy called me up he said it was nearly sold out...

so dont hold your breath (now that youve regained it). you might be dissapointed when you rock up. maybe best to call today.

FoundationStepper

if the beats are matching then they will sum... its not that they are louder at the position but that the signal (of say the kick) is in essence similar enough in both channels - ie in phase. the gain increase wont be so pronnounced if the tracks fit around each other, rather than on top of each oth...

FoundationStepper

Its so hard to make max patches tidy lots of right angled cable connections helps. And then you decide to add another channel or insert and it all goes downhill... That set inpired me to get back into my max patch. which has so far caused a small amount of insanity on my part... oh yeah and it was a...

FoundationStepper

I loved the way he fed back the signal from the room until the roof started resonating...

the hrvatski set had some brilliant moments as well. the metal track at the end was frikkin cool

FoundationStepper

oh... I see

no he did not. no food just music

FoundationStepper

Come again?

FoundationStepper

bloody hell that was good

FoundationStepper

I thought the resale value was better than $500 anyway. In good nick with carts cant you ask $550 - $650?

FoundationStepper

The issue with bass is the sensation of bass is just as, if not more inportant than hearing it. headphones just dont deliver.

Im doing my masters in the sensation of bass in music so its interesting to hear about the concept...

FoundationStepper

Damaging to ears? Very easily if people keep it up for a while.

there was one at the big day out. it was pretty shithouse.

the experince and the music that is

FoundationStepper

Friends of the Earth on Smith St has some good shampoos and cleaning products I think.

FoundationStepper

Well that was a wikkid night! Big ups to unsoundbwoy for putting this on!

I had a lot of fun, and it looked like all the people present were feeling the same!

FoundationStepper

one more sleep!

Looking forward to this!

I wasn't aware I was playing dark two step...

no no no

Yep

You just need to sell yourself properly. i.e. lie if all your in for is working on your skills for personal gain.

I get the feeling one of the main things in getting in to RMIT (apart from skill/backgound) is demonstating (or pretending to demonstrate) a real passion for the "industry" and working towards a role in engineering, mixing etc. I got a pretty black and white response from an instructor tha...

FoundationStepper

it made me wonder though - how much life is left in pci? and particularly if creamware demmand a certian voltage specification, is there a expiry on this technology coming our way?

Im not a computer geek so I dont know - im sure someone has forcast this sort of thing. it does make me wonder though.

FoundationStepper

thats ian alright his carefactor is pretty low. but ive never met anyone who knows more about audio equipment. I used to work at warehouse and the amount of other repair companies, shops who offer repair services, big venues and studios who would bring in thier gear to him was astounding. and there ...

FoundationStepper

I have a luna II. I cant use it now creamware are not supporting OSX and my new G5 has PCIX cars, not PCI. and even the PCI models use a different voltage spec, so the card doesn't work. bummer. I really liked that card too... have a lot of extra plugs for it. after that experience I went and got a ...

Nice one Eliot. Listening now. Always like your mixes. Chuck this one in the mixes thread for everyone to enjoy and maybe a TL as well.

Thanks. I've added it in to the mixes section for maximum damage...
