Waht's a Mac? Honestly, looking back on all the countless hours I've spent on PC-related problems - time that I could have better spent doing music, if I had the cash in hand and could do it over again I'd go for a Power Mac with the new OS 10. Trouble-free and great recording software to boot.

1's and 0's To be honest, this debate should have been over with long ago. There are only ones and zeros, nothing more. What you imply with this "Greening" process is that there is some in-between state, call it a "maybe" state between the ones and zeros. It is an impossibility because the...

It's the electronics It's not so much that it has to be, it just deals with the laws of electronics. The Ohmage is determined by how things are wired up. For instance in guitar amps, two 8 ohm speakers are usally wired up for 4 Ohms, while four 8 Ohm speakers wired up are usually 8 Ohm.

Rewiring I'll try to find the article I have on rewiring the speakers, but at a bare minimum you'll need a receiver that has switchable ohm on the back from 8 to 4, otherwise you'll fry something. Basically it involves switching the speaker wiring from series to parallel, but it has to be...

Time Smearing? Time Smearing? Man, someone has filled your head full of so much garbage, I can't wait to hear what you say next. Anyone with an elementary knowledge in electronics knows the length of the cables is irrelevant. If you really want better sound from your home stereo, try...

Macs are better Since all discussions on this forum eventually turn into a PC vs. Mac war, let me add that Audio CDs sound better played on a Mac vs PC. ;)

CEP I can't use CoolEdit 2000 because there is no MIDI support. If you are doing anything MIDI you need a prog that handles MIDI and digital audio simultaneously.

Cubase VST In this country Cakewalk is pretty strong. However, in Europe and England every one uses Cubase VST. May be an issue if you're considering studio work over there. Also, if you want to go cheap, look at Powertracks Pro or n-Tracks studio. I use Powertracks personally and find it...

Is there some software out there that will allow soundfont use with a non-Live Soundblaster? Maybe there is a way to load the soundfonts using the Creative software that I am unaware of?

27 inch monitors Gateway used to sell a multimedia system that had a 27-inch computer monitor. I also see on http://www.pricewatch.com 29-inch monitors starting at $709.00, but I'd definately get one of the higher priced 1024x768 monitors ($879) in leiu of the 800x600 (cheapest).

HEy I use a green marker around the edges of my toilet paper roll, too. Makes the wipe feel much warmer.

When recording on my computer there are many annoying pops and clicks. I've read about this happening with some VIA chipset motherboards. Is there any way to alleve this most annoying problem?

After yet another complete system crash under Win98, I think I am finally ready to take the plunge to Win2k. However, I frequently use Soundblaster Live Soundfonts in my songs. Does this work ok under Win2k? Also, I would like to hear what software anyone else is using under Win2k, and if...
