Paul881, sorry mate, I've been to, and returned from, the UK. It seems like such a long time ago now. We were there towards the end of July and returned to Australia early August. I tried looking up your name in the phone book, but my parents' directory only covers South Manchester. So no joy there I'm afraid.
This is one of my extremely infrequent calls here - I have more or less confined my recording-related BBS activity to another place.
Qwerty, I'm running HS2004XL on a P4 2.4 with 1GB of RAM. With my Terratec EWX 24/96 I can get around 5ms latency using ASIO drivers. I get no clicks or pops and can easily have 14 tracks of audio without any noticable probs. CPU activity rarely peaks over 13%, which makes me a very happy Vegemite.
The tune I posted elsewhere (the tune who's title is the same as my posting name) has been tweaked and now has real bass courtesy of
BassMaster-T. The bass-playing is as brilliant as you would expect. The original drummer (
Douglas was his
Natural name) has been sacked and he's been replaced by the wonderful
Blue Jay. The new guy isn't quite so heavy on the Hi-Hats.
I've also been feverishly working on one of those Lee 'Scratch' Perry dub-mixes too of the tune. I'll post them both "over yonder" when I'm happy with both mixes. I got the idea for the dub-mix from your "deconstruction" remark in your critique.
Bill, I'm at a loss to know why your M-Audio 2496 wouldn't play ball with your Roland mic-modeler. I'm sure you e-mailed M-Audio and Roland and got no satisfaction from either. That's a real bummer.
