I haven't tried this myself, but this website http://www.presence-pc.com/news/index.php3?news=5305 (sorry it's in french, but there's a nice picture on it!) reports that the latest 'Céline dion' cd which is equipped with sony's protection shceme can be read in a cd-rom drive if you simply draw a...

Kurt said he hated the overly slick and radio-friendly sound of Nevermind, but this was due more to Andy Wallace's mixing/post editing than Butch Vig's recordings.

Am I the only one who loves the hyper-compressed-squashed-to-death sound of At The Drive-in's latest album ("Relationship of command")? I probably am. Oh well :)

A U67 was used for Cobain's vocals on nevermind

Again, depends on what you mean by "fastest performing", but in regards to audio processing, the FPU is what counts, and the fastest FPU today is...the AMD XP 2100+ as these benches show http://www.hardware.fr/art/lire/418/6 Beats the P4 2.4A Ghz hands down in mp3 encoding....

If it's not your video card, chances are it's your monitor....Do you have another pc you could hook up your monitor to?

Andy Wallace used a lot of samples to 'dub' the drum sound. There's been a great article posted on this a while back. Do a search on nirvana, it should come up...

he he I'm keeping mine... ...but there are always some 57's for sale on eBay ;)

Shopping for a used SM-57? :)

Games and 3D --> Nvidia Serious 2D, dual monitors ---> Matrox The best compromise for all of the above ---> Ati I play games, record audio and watch movies all on the same computer so I went for an Ati Radeon 7500. It's good for games and supports dual monitors (useful when you buy a new...

Asus A7N266-C (nvidia chipset) Athlon XP1700+ Ati Radeon 7500 Delta 66 80 Gb Barracuda IV Very stable, no problems :cool:

A good mastering job will make it sound good on your hi-fi. "I can do that myself!" I hear you say. Fair enough. It will also make it sound good on your mum's boombox. "I could check my mix on her boombox and make it sound good on that too". Fair enough. But it will also make it sound good...

My point is that the Athlons weren't designed to run without a heatsink and fan, just like the PIV weren't designed to run in an oven at 250°C. In both cases the question is : why would the engineers bother to make the chip able to run in abnormal circumstances???

If a person is stupid enough to run an AMD cpu without a heatsink and fan, he might very well be dumb enough to run a PIV in an oven at 250°C... In these cases of extreme stupidity even the PIV's built in overheating protection won't help much :rolleyes:

AMD systems work just fine, just stay away from Via chipsets (as you should do in Intel systems as well) I have yet to come across a single issue with my XP1700+ XP on an A7N266-c mobo (nforce chipset).

Another solution... A Universal Audio UAD-1 dsp card on a high end system (say XP2000+, with scsi or RAID drives) should be able to run a fair amount of track at 24/96 if you only use the plug-ins on the UAD-1 (which are excellent from what I've heard) Just an idea...

Have you checked the price on these? Scsi is very expensive, especially if you want a decent sized hdd (40 Gb at least)... I honestly don't believe pc's are powerful enough for 96/24 recording yet. My advice would be to spend a reasonable amount on a reasonable system (say an XP1800+, 512 DDR...

A 4x Xeon server with 2x 80 Gb 10000rpm SCSI hdd and 4Gb registered memory will cost you more than a Pro-Tools station :eek: And if you don't like Pro-tools, I believe Radar or Paris or any other dedicated audio system would cost less than a very high end server machine...

Ha ha you want to censor criticism?? Now *that* "smacks of fascism", as you say. I'm not trying to help you, I'm just stating it annoys me. Got it? I've been trying to avoid posts on SP, and that's what got me upset in the first place : when I can't read a thread on BPM mics without...

Errrr....How does that make me wrong??? Am I responsible for what Stinky implies??? I really fail to see your logic, not that it matters :cool:
