  1. Re:No kidding. on Is Louder Better? · · Score: 0

    or Zorn on the Naked City side of things...

  2. Re:No kidding. on Is Louder Better? · · Score: 0

    Then you've obviously never mixed or mastered for vinyl, radio, or especially television. Nothing wrong with an L2 brick, especially with certain genres. I wouldn't fool with much dynamic processing for good jazz players in a room, but smash the shit out of pop vocals ala bruce swedien...then again...this is slashdot.

  3. the bad news is on Ardour Digital Audio Workstation Now in Beta · · Score: 0, Troll

    that it is almost completely useless and destined to fail miserably if it tries to compete with pro-tools. I get a kick out of even trying to imagine any engineer trying to use this in a production environment, even 5 years from now. It's a buggy-ass toy...

  4. Three words... on Family Tech Support · · Score: 1

    VNC

  5. jeez..... on Discovering New Music? · · Score: 1

    don't you people have any friends?

  6. on a tangential note. on ATI Releases New Linux Drivers · · Score: 1

    has anyone gotten the video capture working with the gatos driver for the All-in-Wonder Rage128 Pro 32mb. I get weird "blue" noise in xawtv...seems like I'm close...

  7. Re:cinelerra on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    if you like constant crashes and complete waste of your time

  8. Re:I dunno on Janis Ian on Life in the Music Business · · Score: 0

    have you heard of madonna? Maverick?

  9. simple... on Cat Recognition Algorithms? · · Score: 1

    kill the goddamn cat.

  10. morons on Kazaa Admits to Morpheus Shutdown · · Score: 2, Funny

    my favorite quote...
    "...especially since a P2P network's power lies in the size of its audience"

    obviously not...if you pull the plug

  11. if they could just put xlr connectors on it on Professional, Portable, Live MP3 Encoding · · Score: 1

    and allow uncompressed pcm recording, it would be a real tool

  12. musician to audio engineer to software engineer on Non-Traditional Career Routes? · · Score: 1

    let's see....played in a band for 10 years, engineered albums, television and films, moved into multimedia, then became an engineer.
    oh yeah, my degree is in music/recording.
    Never seemed to hinder me in my job searches, and in fact, I have never asked for a job anywhere. I have been referred for each career move along the way. The moral of the story is that if you spend more time working on your real world experience and less time stressing on your major you can do just fine.

  13. there is only one option... on Handling Discrimination in the IT Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Leave the company.

    You do not have any friends in HR....they are not in existence to help you...they work to protect the company. The loudest thing you can do is to get another job lined up, and explain in your exit interview that your manager refused to let you succeed with such a great company and it's a shame that one lousy manager can cause so much damage. Worked for me......they fired her and wanted to hire me back. Told em' to get stuffed.

  14. but it sucks anyway. on Broadcast 2000 Removed From Public Access · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I contend that Broadcast 2000 barely even works and is CERTAINLY not ready for a production environment. Just because you all love the romantic idea that free software is better...let's not forget that in business, there must be somebody accountable when it turns out to be a liability. Studios know this and can always demand a refund when stuff breaks.

  15. The sweet spot... on Insanely Audiophile · · Score: 1

    in this jackass' room is very, very small. Move your chair and you are getting reflected waves. A pair of Meyer HD-1's and a finely shot room will suit me fine any time. This $140,000 crap is still amplifying 50 year old technology. Particularly the Mics for recording Classical. Most purists would tell you that classical is recorded with a Schoeps or Neumann stereo mic and there ain't too far to go with that during mastering. Garbage in, Garbage out. I think the slashdotters are familiar w/that term...

  16. Re:Please. Lack of accountability is ruining schoo on 13-Year-Old Suspended For Hacking Commits Suicide · · Score: 1

    any bets on whether the parents sue the district or the principal?

  17. interesting... on Cracker Endangered Astronauts · · Score: 2

    Interesting that Hemos changed the word "Hacker" to "Cracker". The article does not containg the word "Cracker". Are you guys shaping the news or reporting it?

  18. Re:Married people have sex, right? on Hemos Gets Hitched · · Score: 1

    speaking from experience....
    No, married people do not have sex.

    They don't tell us that until after we agree to the vows tho....

  19. Re:This bugs me on Making Music with Linux : Mastering, Bandwidth, and Synthesis · · Score: 1

    Let's make sure we are speaking the truth here...Have you heard of George Lucas? He runs this place called Skywalker Sound....? Sound familiar? Anyway, they happen to be running a whole shitload of StudioFrame workstations. On Windows. No doubt you are a macinbred somewhere in your family tree.

  20. You wouldn't even bat a crusty eyelash on Workers - Including Linus - Left in Limbo by INS · · Score: 1

    if Linus' name wasn't mentioned...

  21. RE: Vektor on Why Kids Kill · · Score: 0

    "...teenagers are alot like television sets...once in awhile they have to be whacked across the eyes with a rubber-soled tennis shoe"

  22. fonts on Corel Draw Linux Port by End of Year · · Score: 1

    a Macinbred, no doubt.

  23. I forget. on ESR chapter of "Open Sources" online · · Score: 1

    Chris Dibona is one of the homeys in charge of the
    Silicon Valley Linux User Group. He's the only one I know by name *and* face. I can vouch for him being a cool guy (with social skills!).
    Only know the other two by name

    Sam Ockman is involved in one way or another with
    the SVLUG as well.

  24. apparently not the case on Iomega Buys Out Syquest · · Score: 1

    I read that Iomega bought the Syquest assets, and not the company name, etc.
    "We want to make sure people are clear, it's not an outright purchase".
    "Iomega did not buy the company".
    -John Chen spokesman for Iomega

  25. new samba on Samba 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    which brings up an interesting question:
    is "Park Place" in the network neighborhood?
    How bout' "Boardwalk"? Certainly "Jail" should be there....(Sorry, too much caffiene)
