Craigslist still works with Netscape - or it did a few months ago. But the FAA regulatory site - where I get copies of the FARs - doesn't work well with Firefox and never has - it STILL wants IE to work right. I force FF on it, anyway because i don't really want all of their "features" to begin...

Have to? Not at all. In my world, the Opsys is of only medium utility, not the star of the show. The app is the star. So the judgment of what I HAVE to do is made from the app, not the Opsys product. When and if my apps stop working for me, then I'll consider the opsys approach. I did it...

Drastic? I call it "cleansing" and yes i've done it many, many times because I have many computers and tend not dispense advice I wouldn't do myself -- which is why I led with that. I don't think of it as scary or drastic. It can be a bit of chore, yes. But up-front work pays long term...

I have to admit that's a remarkable condition. In sample based keyboards, I've come across comb-filtering and cancellations when stacking samples, and even modules, because, after all, they're using the same waveform. Seems surprising this hasn't come up during practice. Channel inversion...

My thoughts exactly. Trouble is, not everyone in the band is as smart as you. We'll find out at practice, Wednesday night.

Sidebar: This very afternoon, played at one of those small-town festival things. Sound check was great. It all worked. Everything perfect. Digital mixer. Digital control surface. Monitor mixes on bluetooth tablets. Wireless ears. Very high-zoot. Time for performance and I cannot hear a...

What I would do: Wipe the disc. Re-install W7 only Re-install all your titles. Wipe my forehead and say, "wow, that was a close one!" I can't begin to imagine the artifacts that a W10 dual boot would leave on your drives. If you were running fine before the "upgrade", i would seek mightily...

There was nothing good about those old days, IMO. These are the best days.

Idea 1: For a generally approved outdoor setup, you're gonna pay some big bucks ($10K). Idea 2: If you wanna slide the gate, you won't use a linear actuator, but a pulley and sprocket. If you wanna swing the gate, then maybe an actuator. The pulley and sprocket also requires tracks and...

Certainly you've gone through everything and your soundguy is qualified and your gear is all topnotch. I'm not doubting your efforts. But face it, this thing has been out for a year, sold many units, and this is the first time I (or perhaps anyone) has heard of this oddball error? Including the...

To be fair, so will a brand new one running W10. Which, BTW, a "computer" doesn't fail. That's what the insulated user thinks. Disc drives will fail. RAM can fail. Motherboards fail. Power supplies fail. Any and all of these can fail (especially the hard drives) and can be replaced in minutes...

Linux is the DOS of the 21st Century. All the command stuff and so very much more. And just like those olden days, Linux is maturing at an astonishing rate. Now would certainly be the time to get on board. I'm no expert Graphics Designer, but I know more than a few ex-Photoshop and...

How many great things did you hit? Several, for sure. But there's an elephant in the room, certainly. Remember when the ADAT came out? First thing they (the reviewers) did was compare it Pro Tools. Sure enough, a bit-level identical copy. So suck it, PT boys, this is just as good (this was...

Well, uh, actually I don't have to because I don't exspecially care. Just thought it was a fun fact, or not, and worthy of a little conversation, kinda. A bit like the Pentiums. >25 years ago, during the day of 486(SX!) I saw EE Magazine board layouts for 686 and 786 chips. But they...

Not me. It could be right, but like you, i'd like to know where to dig to find this. I say this because my main apps use the NT solver in Windows. That module (Windows is a large collection of modules) has remained largely unchanged since the late 90s! It's not that it's some kind of magic...

Is this really the case? Does it start at a thousand bucks? Or does it start at, say, a 2 inch diaphragm? Or a 3 inch ribbon? Because I kinda like my $300 Rode. (1.5 inch diaphragm, i think) Yes, there's some lack in silk. But run through a dbx preamp and it's really great. Now, before...

This^^ You want to use the phono in because anything labeled 'phono in' has the necessary industry-standard EQ correction circuitry (bass boost per a standardized curve). On Tascam gear, they very often have inputs, tape and phono, that dump directly to a bus (in your case, a sub) with no...

Oh I quite agree! Once it was all setup and smoothed-out, it performed just fine. Seemed a lot longer trip up the mountain with the PC hardware, though. BTW, the MT-32.. isn't this the card with the sound already on it? Kinda like the predecessor to the popular Sound Canvas? Or am I confused...

TL; DR - i like linux. Long ago, I worked with bleary-eyed men who would stay up until 2 a.m. many nights getting their PCs to work right. .bat files. .irq settings. A new disc drive was a multi-night event. But boy were they proud of themselves when it worked. After MSDOS, I would snicker...

I'm trying to understand what this means. Over? Not on mine. Not until I say it is. MS says it's over? Okay, no problem. I've been abandoned by MS before and never lost sleep. Suits me. The sole reason I moved out of XP (still their best, IMO) was because of memory capacities and no one...
