I suppose I could try removing the swap file all together, turn off all non-essential services, and try a totally separate harddrive, though the dual pro tools partition I'm working with is on a totally separate drive from my system. I've got the thee drives. I'll try each of the other two, includin...

I'm a Pro Tools newbie, having just performed a fresh install of XP on my recently re-worked, dedicated music production system. I'm having problems with Pro Tools LE 6.4 spitting DAE error -6087 at me when I attempt to play back recorded tracks. My hardware interface is a Digi 002 rack. System: ASU...

I'm SO happy that I picked up an EV RE-20!!! Damn, I'm really impressed with the sound it gets on the kick drum. Still playing with placement. I've also found it to be quite useful for acoustic guitar, electric guitar and bass guitar cab miking, and I'm banking I'll find more uses over time. My othe...

A resounding NOT CRAP!!! I believe Eric Bachman is EASILY one of the best song writers from the timeperiod "early 90's-->present". I saw them live in the neighborhood of 11 times, or so. Grinding, nasty tones. Brilliant sense of melody, mixed with the a quirky pop groove, and a WONDERFULLY witty lyr...

The music is so-so, but those vocals make me want to hurt someone. Personally, I never much liked this style of music when it WAS cool, and since this is just a hackneyed copy of something that's been done--been done--been done before, well...I don't feel like wasting more words: CRAP

Swervedriver put on a fairly decent show (at least they did when I saw them with Hum). I think Mescal Head was probably my favorite "background music" album for a good part of the 90's. Yeah, sure, nothing groundbreaking, but it was good to chill out to while studying or playing cards, or whatever t...

Wow...Helium really floored me a bunch of years back when I saw them with Sleater-Kinney. Uber cool. The Dirt of Luck is probably one of my all time favorite albums to just kick back, and play some NHL hockey game on the PS2. I'm not sure why...but I will not complain...

Okay, so I guess i didn't note that you were out of the country, and that the supplies might be limited in other parts of the world. Sorry 'bout that. Are you just talking about used units? Or is no company willing to ship one overseas if you buy it new?

I've been mixing a lot of stuff lately (mostly loud rock), and wondering if anyone else thinks heavily about the panning of a mix? I know it's a matter of taste, and probably heavily dependant on the song in question, as well as the artists wishes (to some degree : ), but does anyone have any advice...

of course haircuts are really just a matter of taste? Do you like it long? Do you like it short? Do you like it bald, balding, combed over, etc. or perhaps any one of hundred of permutations of the mullet. My personal barometer has been broken for years. Normally, I'll know it's time to get my hair ...
