new technique recording audio onto ceramic pot ...

the quality kicks the crap out of pro tools.

Sorry, but there isn't anything that sounds better than protools, that's why all the pro's use it!

My friend has protools, and it makes his coffee, gives him fellatio, and he has a plugin that shoots gold bricks out of his computer's drive bays, so it's already paid for itself.

He uses it with a bunch of racked tubeMP's and professional behringer preamps into an 002R and he gets pro sound.

I was reading this article where some professional engineer was saying that Pro Tools sounded superior becase he could hear "saturation in the mix bus."

How the hell do you get mix bus saturation in a DAW? I sure as hell hope my freakin' DAW's not saturating anything.

Where do they get these yahoos to write some of this crap?

I keep seeing an image of Jim Carrey as Ace Vetura talking out of his ass....

yeah but if he really wants to go top of the line he needs to get one of those automated mixing boards that will fondle your nuts.

YES. It is possible. This same technique is used by the FBI and the CIA to pick up conversations using a laser on the window of the room. Th eLaser vibrates visually so that a computer recognition program ca compile an audio waveform. If the broom fibers were small enough and stiff enouigh then they would act like a needle on a record and transmit these vibrations to the grooves they are making in the clay. Not impossible but very probable.

They are picking up vibrations as they happen. Since the glass does not store audio information they could not pick up the vibrations after the fact. To go deeper into this, suppose someone said, "George, order a large combo pizza with anchovies." Now, suppose the CIA shined their laser on the window between the words "with" and "anchovies." The only thing that would be picked up would be the word "anchovies." They would never have known what the beggining of the sentence was.
We can only hope that the CIA is shining lasers on more important conversations than pizza orders.

Hence the category "fiction"

Any program that depicts forensic investigators as being the lead investigators in any case, where the word "Detective" has apparently never been heard, and where they have the budget to run DNA analysis on every jaywalking case - and still manage to have it done within the hour because apparently they have a DNA lab the size of O'Hare Airport - just HAS to be factual with everything else, doesn't it?

Anyone who believes half the crap coming out of those shows (or ANY Jerry Bruckheimer production, FTM) probably also believes that casinos are not in business to make a profit. Well, I guess CSI is what Vegas is all about after all...pure fantasy at exhorbitant prices.

Did anyone see CSI Las Vegas on TV last night?

There was a scene that showed audio evidence gathered from the surface of a ceramic pot.

Okay, that's nuts, like most stuff on those shows. That said, I think it would be a lot of fun to make a pot and get it to the point where the clay was starting to dry, then use a modified gramophone-like device to record a message. Mass-marked these things. See how long it takes for somebody to realize that there was a hidden message....

Maybe it's just me.... Ooh, and that would be a -cool- way to pass secret messages back and forth between spies. Good idea for my next novel. :D

Ok maybe not audio stored in a pot but a mic that is part of a concrete building is way cool. Or a carved wooden "gift" from some Boy scouts..

You know, I don't know why I didn't think about this earlier.... A lot of music seems to come from pot... especially if you're a bass player.... :D

Guess that's not quite the same thing, though....
 
Nah, you guys missed the part where they took the little nagra out of the clay pot...it was just before they went to commercial.
 
This is the funniest thread ever. I'll weigh in: This could NEVER happen, because: 1) the broom overwrites. 2) too much interference.
