Re: Ever had your computer freeze or crash during a set?

So many times it:s ridiculous. many times because of just bad decisions, (pushing a slowing computer too hard) or not preparing well enough.

i haven't read all of the other responses, but I'm sure they're just as valid and cool. I'm currently living in Kyoto Japan as an English teacher. It's a great job, you can earn from 20-50 dollars an hour for basically just chatting with friendly japanese people who want to practice their english co...

other than panning and eq, you cant "remove" vocals from a mixed track. depending on the frequencies of the music and vocals some songs are easier than others but it's like a cake, you cant take an already mixed and baked cake and ask to get the eggs out. I guess if you were using some rea...

+ for the opinion that a "higher end" pre can have a more noticible effect on the clarity and color of a sound than a really nice mic. I've gotten some really good sounds with a nice pre and a 57 or 58. Now for vocals or quiet acoustic instruments, a good mic is very nice and in some cases...

+1 for insomnia, very cool for that "I'm not checking email" kinda performance. one caveat though, be careful about heat. with the lid closed on my g4 pb it can get a little hot, I suggest making sure you have it on some sort of breathable stand, ie: a milk crate etc. to allow the maximum ...

What exactly did you assign Guy Smiley? You know that you can change scenes (move up/down) and play scenes via the knobs on the leftmost side of the Remote? This. to me; is reason enough to own my zero. I love it! it makes me want to buy a mac mini so I can perform with no screen at all. I keep try...

I usually begin with 4-6 cups of strong espresso, followed by a heated argument with my wife followed by a cold shower while masturbating just to the point of release then stopping. Then repeating.
That usually creates the right amount of tension.
try it.
