    I laughed so hard I cried - seriously

    What in the hell are you talking about Steve H? Why are there so many people that are quick to jump and suggest racism might be involved. It's funny because he's giving advice about a topic he obviously doesn't know too much about. PERIOD

    Just getting back into this. Need Advice.

    I hear so many good things about reaper, I think I'm going to give it a try. Does it come withy any VST instruments? I'm really set in my ways with cubase (as it's all i've ever used, besides a little bit of acid. not LSD hehe) and version 5 has a nice stock of any instrument I can think of...

    An EZ drummer tutorial for you.

    another question, I've been having a good time with ezdrummer, it's so simple and sounds pretty good. But i listen to some tracks posted here, and recently listened to "Ziltoid the Omniscient" by Devin Townsend (which I read was done using Drum kit from Hell) and I'm wondering how you guys...

    Studio Quality

    I had an 8 year old fart on me once in a class I was teaching... Made the little bastard sit in a corner and called his white trash mother - who was very displeased to hear she was spending her money for her little red head brat to mess around. He was very well behaved after that incident...

    Poor mans soundproofing

    any use for mattresses? I've been using 2 that I got for free behind my piano to make it a little less loud. (I'm now living in a condo) Once I get started treating my room, I'll only be using 1 - and hope to find another use for the other.

    forgive me, I was downing the sauce pretty heavy tonight. I didn't realize the clip shift was an effect in itself - I thought the topic was referencing the sleight "Clip steal". My apologies. And there's no reason to get hostile people... I don't see the reason to try and jump down my throat...

    just wanted to say thanks for all the help guys! Definitely will be repping ya'll I'm back on my PC everything back to normal =). My friend used the windows disc in the "Repair" portion - and created a new "Boot Registry" worked like a charm. I'm pretty psyched about it.

    haha! I'm grasping at straws, running super anti spyware on the Hirens boot disc right now thinking that might help somehow. Actually, I seem to remember my DVD/CD drive is set as 1 for boot. How could that have gotten changed? Gonna try that as soon as this scan is don KOP! Thanks,

    Computer Savvy people? PC is screwed

    thinking about it more my friend put a sound card into my computer a few months back - and ever since then I've been having issues with the audio device (randomly shuts off to no device) I made a seperate thread about that. But do you think this could be related? Would it be worth opening my...
