COMPUTER MUSIC / Re: USB Hubs
« on: February 23, 2010, 07:47:29 pm »
I've had good results (so far) with my iomega 7 to 1 hub.. powered of course.
in general I would suggest plugging your audio interface directly into the computer without relying on the bus power... then using a powered hub for all of your other devices.
I don't know what model you have... but I swear that my m-audio 4/4 USB interface fried my old motherboard. I'm not trying to snub your setup... just passing on my experience.

I love my bose QC-2 noise canceling headphones (over the ear model). admittedly it took a while to get used to the sensation created by the noise canceling... but I am much happier in life now that I can make music and utilize urban necessities such as air conditioning at the same time!

ART / Re: a hopeful use for the apple tablet
« on: January 27, 2010, 04:51:49 pm »I do notice that it has "multi-touch" technology. I'm not sure how far that goes... but I do see potential in using this with a beefed up version of touchOSC in order to create lemuresque interfaces at a much lower price point.This is what I was thinking, less a laptop replacement and more of a controller. lemur was the first thing that sprang to mind, not to mention monome or tenori-on-esque options. The price of the base model would make it an interesting possibilty for this purpose, that is, if an app is designed *and* approved by apple for this type of functionality.
the total itunes lockdown on this thing is a turnoff for sure, though.
touchOSC is already out there on the itunes store. it seems to me that apple tends to squash apps that compete with theirs... such as music players and such. they are likely to welcome apps which make the tablet more appealing to people making music.
the new processor (faster than iphone I would assume) should expand the possibilities for more sophisticated music apps... or more powerful versions of current apps such as jasuto. I would love to see cycling74 make a max/msp runtime app... though it is unlikely...
my biggest problem with this whole device stream is that (afaik) you still have to use objective C. they need to open it up to other languages... and (what I would like to see) a JVM!

I am also disappointed in this thing... though I am happy with the low price point... I was expecting higher. it seems that they are basically looking to expand the ipod touch concept.

STUDIO + RECORDING TECHNIQUES / Re: The Dreaded Ground Loop
« on: January 23, 2010, 12:21:03 pm »It bothered me really bad for quite a while. Turned out, power supply/transformer for the computer screen was the cause.
I had this exact same problem in the past. I solved it with a new power supply as it was the external type.

if I may add an air of unsophistication to this thread... I recently attended a party where someone brought a bottle of this stuff...
*BEWARE OF FLASH WEBSITE WHICH WILL PLAY MUSIC AT YOU*

it was smooth and delicious and devoured quite quickly.
your mileage may vary.

STUDIO + RECORDING TECHNIQUES / Re: the constant desire for NEW
« on: January 15, 2010, 04:13:15 pm »for anything computer related... I always wait until it's not new anymore... as new always means bugs. I'll let the eager types smooth out the bumps before I get involved.
I'm always suspicious of a new OS as they usually seem to be bloated with more functionality, perhaps in anticipation of faster future hardware, but still annoying.
Case in point: http://createdigitalmusic.com/2009/12/28/ableton-suspends-development-to-focus-on-bug-fixes-for-live-8/#more-8829
I work is software dev... and I understand that time and resources spent on bug fixes and stability are not as appealing as sexy new features. often our clients build project timelines which do not account for any time to fix and stabilize... while overpromising new features.
ableton should not have know better than to let it become a problem... as their app is sold for... uh.. live performance... which is a very uncool place to have bugs creep in...

if I do seek an upgrade... there is usually a specific reason for it. I try not to let myself get caught up in the pursuit of shiny objects.
though... I do have a weakness for tiny computers... which I resist as much as possible... but still manage to lapse on occasion...
for me... I am trying to focus on being creative with the tools I already have... which are enough to last me a lifetime already.

I used to be all into this back in the day as well. still revisit some of their tracks on occasion.
did they disappear or did I just stop paying attention?

seduction of the minotaur by anais nin. I've read several of her books... and I think that this is my favorite so far.
I've actually started an anais nin book club. any NYC peeps interested should send me a PM.
