Hooks into a serial port (aka COM1 or COM2). The older style mouse generally goes into COM1, so the modem goes into COM2. Dead easy - gaffa

I just re-read Ed's post, and can safely say that I have isolated three virusses on my work network, as well as cleaned a number of disks that have come my way. It does work, it IS worth having, cos one day you WILL get a virus (I've have cleaned a number of email viruses that were from trusted...

JHE, Lose the internal modem all together, and get an external one. Internal modems are probably the most annoying piece of hardware I've ever used. They have this nasty habit of trying to be about eight different things (some of the voice modems like to prentend that they are also soundcards...

Ed, You're completely right regarding the quality of software out there. There are a massive number of snake oil salesmen flogging absolutely terrible products that haven't gone through QA etc. The problem with software does not always lie with the programmers. As I stated above, I am a coding...

Yeah, Dingo, gotta agree with you there. There's legal, and THEN there's ethical. Seems to me that a lot of people (not necessarily on this board, but in general) seem to think that once something is legal, it is ethical as well. Not strictly true. It costs a lot of money to write software -...

AnalogX makes a vocal remover DX plug-in. I've never used, so I don't know how well it works, but it is free, so that's a start Find it at www.analogx.com - gaffa

Documentation? You guys got documentation? The last time I got any sort of decent documentation with a software product was 1986...well, OK, not that long ago, but documentation is now becoming increasingly rare, and if you do get it, it's in electronic format, and is sparse to put it nicely...

Love a good post that started with a fairly basic question and degenerates to a technical gab-fest. :D OK, having read the posts from Sonusman and Slack, I couldn't help but wonder where error correction figures into this entire thing. Every so often, data will get lost, and I was wondering...

So Dingo, how much all up did it cost you? A friend just bought the Delta44 for $799AUD, and I want the gadget labs 824, but I'm not paying $1400 for it. - gaffa

Actually, I think I screwed the website up - it's supposed to be www.wavedigital.com . That'll teach me recite web addresses off the top of my head and not check them first. Naughty me. sorry to all concerned :) - gaffa

Well, go to the NSA and pickup a second hand Cray supercomputer, that should support at 12 tracks simultaneously, possibly even with an efect or two on three of those tracks....oh sorry, budget of 3-5K, whoops. OK, you'll never get the ultimate setup for 5k, but you will get a very very nice...

Cos the rechargeable batteries don't operate at the full voltage (7.2V vs 9V), some electronic items don't like it very much. So some things will work fine, and other won't. I'm fairly sure Ohm's law jumps in here, and cos the voltage is lower, the current drain on the battery will be higher due...

The only way I've been able to find is to open the bookmarks screen, and from the file menu, click on Save As. It saves the bookmarks to an HTML file, whic I gues you would have to parse to do anything useful with. Either way, this will backup the list, cos if it all goes screwy, you just copy...

If you want to do it on the cheap, then with $600, you shouldn't have a problem You've probably got a relatively generic soundcard - Sound Blaster Live or something similar. I'm assuming that you're running Win 95 or 98. You can find out what sound card you've got by going to the Control Panel...

Did you close the session on the disc? In EZ-CD creator, it's on the second tab, and by default is set at DON'T CLOSE THIS SESSION, for some unknown reason. A normal CD player will not be able to read a CD that does not have it's session closed (and subsequently it's table of contents written...

You need to close the CD burn session to write a TOC. Closing the session is usually one of the options you get when you hit the 'create CD' button - gaffa

But I wanna be a gear slut!!!!! Actually, there's nothing quite like the challenge of recording good music on crappy gear - brings out the 'MacGyver' best in all of us. I don't think people are necessarily bickering over the gear, it's just that some people have access to the better gear, and...

JHE, Glad to be of assistance - gaffa PS. Doc - you don't need to troll through usenet to get free porn - there are heaps of sites out there just waiting to be surfed....

OK JHE, I've tracked down some web sites for you to peruse - these are outfits that prioduce turnkey DAWs - ie. you buy then, take them home and turn them one- no stuffing about. http://www.wavedigital.com/ http://www.audiotracks.com/workstations.htm http://www.faqsys.com/...

JHE, The computer rack case is 5 units high, although I believe they are available in larger sizes (and I have seen a 4 unit case before, but it was in a business, not a shop, so I don't know how readily available they are. I spent ages tracking one down - they were pretty hard to find...
