OK, maybe not demise, but I still can't use it. I guess I don't know much about the coding world, but I'm kind of surprised he doesn't turn these plugs loose for someone else to maintain, it's obvious that there's at least a small market for them.

I'll the Rocket a shot.

any more?

thanks

Intel Blockfish replacement

Hi all. I finally had to move on to an intel Mac, and my VST folder is a withered shadow of what it used to be. It's probably for the better. I didn't need all that stuff anyway. But for Blockfish. All the threads here just sing its' praises and woe its' demise, but offer little for replacements. I ...

Rock & Roll for the whole family

Hey all. I've heard of some punk/rock shows (a series, or a monthly thing) somewhere in the Mid-West where the whole family is welcome. It looked like a great time, and I'd like to replicate it. Not Kid's shows, but real rock shows where they just turn it down a hair and watch their language a littl...

funny, I'd seen this on another forum and been meaning to check it out. I just signed up today , then saw your post. Everything you mentioned works great. I wish it had a better 'find things/genres you like' function, or 'if you like this...', but that would require good tagging by users. The free a...

I've been shopping ebay for a cheapie for my 4 yr old. You can get a perfectly adequate, if not very good, 4-5 MP Canon, Sony or Nikon for <$50. No Question. 4-5 MP is plenty for ebay shots ( and more ). Get a tiny little tripod with flexi legs for around $10, and check out this cat's light box . In...

studio building article

Here's an article from the mid-80's on studio building.

I've been renovating the shit out of my house and ran across it in other research.
I actually haven't read it, please let me know if it's worth while.
And if you own it, sorry. I'll remove it.

4 track roundup?

Howdy. I love my Tascam 424, but I can't sacrifice the desk space right now. Don't give me a hard time, I really can't. I know I've seen smaller 4 tracks. There was a Yamaha from the same era, MT-something, how was that? how about the porta-studios with the cool clear/colored knobs. Recently there h...

Alphabet Soup was reviewed in the mag some time back. It's exactly what you're looking for. It's simple, intuitive, and flexible. It's $10 more than you want, but really, it's exactly what you want.

They have a demo.

Hey.
I'd check it out at the Ableton forums, they're pretty helpful over there.

I seem to remember something about the file structure changing either from 4-5 or 5-6, so that would explain your predicament.

I was briefly enamored of Songfight! and its cousin somesongs . I wrote about it here . (scroll down for songfight entries.

edit: fileden's free accounts only stream at 100kbps, which means if you're putting up songs in decent quality (192<) then your users will need to wait a few seconds before the song is ready to stream. I did think it was a touch slow. For my needs, the speed is adequate. What's a normal streaming s...
