"I like digging through trash for dirty, rusty, old, used guitar strings, putting them on my guitar and seeing what kind of *tones* I can get!"

Why…? :D
Because you can't afford a Gretch? ;)
"Because otherwise I'd be wasting this tetanus shot I just got!"

:D
I didn't know you were Bohemian too! Waste not, want not. :D

Yeah but there is a difference between saying that the world is round than saying you can take out blue from a picture:)
And dont give me the color filter crap :)
Photoshop. You can turn blue into red. Make wimmin's silicone filled titties even more filled with silicone, and make them less fat, you can make a wale fly, and other attrocities :D
 
This Cedar Tools thing has me currious... But I can't find a single audio demonstration on Youtube or Google. Anybody have any before/afters?
 
Has any progress been made in this worthless idea?
Nope. He wanted "a week or two" to work on it. It's been about 1 1/2 months now and he's not responded in public or in private in any way.

Bluff called.

Just tying up a loose end here, people. Don't get your panties in a bunch.

OK pull in all the chips they are yous, Nice hand.



:cool:
 
But taking a mix to "deconstruct" it into some half-assed representation of what it originally was...and then what...remix it BACK, for an even more half-assed result? I see no point in that at all. Not for "audio" purposes.

While I do agree with this, I also have to say that I do see a point: Research.

The early versions of nearly anything were all awful. Digital recording, when first introduced, was pretty bad. Full of artifacts and just bad sounding. Which is why it didn't take off as soon as it was introduced.

There's no point in this "extraction" technique for the audio side of things just yet, but the point could be (if this was done by anyone else who actually did stick to their guns :p ) to see what we can do now, and how to improve on it. I have no doubt that in whatever amount of time, people will be able to successfully extract every individual element of a complex mix using some amazing futuristic software (probably just at the click of a button too). I also reckon it will have many uses.
 
There is a side issue that I have a hard time buying that he went out and bought a $2500 editor program just for fun. But the issue here is more what can be claimed for the use of that software; we'll worry about the source of that software later.

While I've found this thread most entertaining, I wanted to chime in here and suggest that it's possible he did just that - spend a ton of money on a "toy".

There are enough people around who buy things because they're fascinated by it or simply want it and not because those toys are practical, useful, or otherwise important for them to have.

Some people spend their extra income on vacations, summer homes, music equipment, car parts, computer stuff, etc. Some buy expensive paintings.

I'm sure we all know at least one person who recently bought a duo-core or quad-core for surfing the internet and checking their facebook page.

Back in the late 90's I built, then drove as my daily driver, a twin-turbo 800HP pickup truck. Why? I wanted to, it was fun, I learned something, and I enjoyed driving it. I didn't really need an 800 HP pickup truck.

While the OP's purchase might be odd to you, me, and many others, it's completely plausable he did so because he was merely fascinated by it, or just wanted it, or wanted to experiment with it to learn something.

Not saying that's the case, just saying it's possible :)

Because you know what? I really miss my 800 HP pickup truck !
 
Not saying that's the case, just saying it's possible :)
Of course it's possible. Many things are possible.

It's also possible that the used pickup truck you're selling belonged only to your 90-yr-old grandmother from Pasadena who used the truck only to deliver her homemade pies to church on Sundays. Hey, it's possible!

P.S. @Rami: Yeesh. Give me ONE good reason.
 
HEY GLEN!

You're back! :)

Don't count your chickens yet, Miro. Like I said, I was just tying up the loose end of this thread (by off-BBS request.) No panty bunching, please! :cool:

I've been busy using the time working on the website instead (a new tutorial applet coming in the next day or two) collecting audio and recording questions there (answers coming in a new column soon), and helping some friends putting the finishing touches on a new home studio (possibly a new series on the anatomy and building of a home studio coming up; still negotiating with the studio owner on that one).

I may visit once in a while if/when I get bored, but contributing to Net3.0 is just so much better.
