Re: I need something new to listen to...

Auras. They're a band from Brazil, they only have one album. "New Generation." Totally rocks my world. I'd post links but I have to hurry and mow the lawn before it rains.

Re: Descent for Android?

It would work fantastic on iPhone with that gyroscope. Move device to look, control stick to move forward/backward and strafe left/right, maybe a separate button for strafe up/down? I'd never use it... Cycle primary button, cycle secondary button, and slide the control stick further forward for ...

So for Christmas I got a computer dedicated to running Tascam's GigaStudio 3 Virtual Orchestra. Two hard drives devoted entirely to sample libraries and a way high-end GigaStudio Interface-compatible soundcard (specifically an RME Digital Hammerfall) Well the mainboard on it died. What I'm looking ...

I wouldn't be quite as worried if the discs were in fact burned... They're commercial discs from Vienna Instruments and they're in perfect condition.

I'll try some compressed air and see if that helps.

Symptoms of a dying DVD drive?

I'm trying to copy my virtual orchestra libraries from disc to my hard drive. So far I've encountered nasty buzzing noises, inability to read DVDs on the first several tries (CDs read ok), unbelievably slow copying speeds (right now it's taking over ten minutes to copy 47.9mb of data), outright ...

My sampling computer (the one running all the aforementioned Tascam MIDI gear) gave me the present of dead USB ports and a failing boot drive as of about 40 minutes ago...

But it's ok. I found a box of Italian herb crackers to relieve the pain.

Alter Bridge. American rock band. It amazes me how much publicity they don't have, their music is unreal.

You could even try wiring an electronically operated air compressor valve to the speaker circuit. No relay crap needed. And said air compressor would be hooked to a nice train horn set...
