That is pretty lame, but if they had asked to borrow portions of it that they liked, would you have granted permission? I might have, actually, depending on what they wanted to use. More likely though, I would have encouraged them to re-write it in their own words. I mean, come on, how hard can it ...

Good point.

Agreed. What I meant was, that they didn't ask in the first place. Not that I would have said 'yes - use it all' - but I would have been flattered and would have said to please at least re-write it in their own words. Cease-and-desist, it looks like, is something I'm gonna have to do. Bummer. I hate...

Perhaps. But now the impetus is on me? They can't be bothered to ask, so I have to be bothered to call them on it? Meh.

They're using large portions of my FAQ without permission. Lame-ola.

I just heard that TuneCore do a thing at the end of each month that, if you have fees you need to pay, they email with a discount code if you pay by the end of the month. Like a 3-day window. Worth keeping in mind if you're signing up a record with them.

Wonder how long they'll keep that up?

Tunecore also takes setup fees that vary by the number of songs on the album, and the number of stores you want them to deliver it to. And an annual maintainance fee. So it may not be the financial best bet unless you anticipate a certain level of sales per year, every year, for the album in questio...

here's the article, or at least a similar one... from the footnote it looks like the whole vocoder painstaking process story might be a load of bunk. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/feb99/articles/tracks661.htm We called bullshit on their claim of it being the Digitech box the day we here at the st...

Layover in Atlanta, that's the thought right now.

See ya all in a few hours...

My latest CD went over the maximum "time" stated for Red Book (data is specified in time, even with Enhanced CD formats, basically...) Even though it was the data portion that pushed it over the edge a little, I still had to sign a waiver concerning the possibility of it not playing in some CD playe...

Interesting thing about volume knobs. I've observed, that regardless of degrees of "dynamic smashing" that people have this (myself included) knee-jerk (should it be elbow-jerk?) reaction when a song the love comes on the ol' hifi. "OOOH! I love this song" they say, either quietly, silently, or braz...

If one thinks of "phase" in the same way the power companies refer to the different legs of polarity that are delivered to one's dwelling, then the concept of a "phase flip" button makes more sense. Sure, it's not phase as most think of it regarding time-delay phase-shift, but it's still not a compl...

You can say that again.

It's definitely the L-R, or difference, signal.
And a ton of fun. An old Dolby Pro Logic decoder will do essentially the same thing with non-Pro Logic sources, from what I recall...

There's a book?
