Mercutio, all I hear is phase cancellation and drifting image. Seven channels of audio defies all the principals of audio physics. You obviously use a better system than me and have a better accoustic environment. No offence, but unless your living room resembles AIR studios then you are getting...

Amen to the stacks of speakers Mercutio. I don't like doing surround sound mixes because they are so tedious. Who mixes with an Atari joystick. Pilot's don't like flying with them either. The extra experience that they bring to a film is miniscule, expensive and usually just background noise...

Let me make this as simple as possible. The problem with language is that it assumes shared knowledge. Or, some knowledge... Bartender, if your not wearing pants, then all is forgiven. Your share something in common with the ape. Smearing yourself with tea isn't one of them.

When ever I see a bartender dressed like that I usually leave gracefully, knowing that not all of us are created equal. I haven't seen someone dressed like that since Paddington, 1985. How is the T cell count? If you were referring to James Joyce the Irish poet, my wife would like a few words...

OK Mercutio, you've got my interest. Who is James Joyce! Can I feel insulted yet. I'm looking to flame someone big-time. The only difference between playing a gig in this pub and a real one is that nobody has a punch-up. What kind of drinking establishment is this. And do they serve Sherry for...

I had to do a 5.1 mix for "The Mouse" the other day and can state catagorically that all surround sound mixes are inferior to stereo mixes because of one universal audio post-production truth. Surround mixing is the dullest job the world has ever known. I've done factory jobs involving...

You gotta love the musical enphasis of a track is now done by the drummer. Kinda says it all really. How do you know when the drummers stool is level? He dribbles out of both sides of his mouth. Or this was Stings, Whats got three legs and a c**t on top? A drum stool, to which Stewart Copeland...

Just spotted Mercutio's intelligent reply. I have a question. The component that you speak of implies RGB. It's almost certainly YUV. Are we sure about RGB? Sony don't make any broadcast equipment with an RGB output so why would they put it on there tele's when Broadcasters globally are using...

Just poked my nose in to have a look and want to clear up a mis-conception. S-video is component. You might have different plugs depending on what type of compnent signal your dealing with ( I can think of 9 different types off the top of my head) S-video has basically two signals, luminance...

Sorry iGary, but it's not normalising at all. In fact normalising is a good thing not a bad thing, assuming the bit rate is higher than the intended master. The effect is created by what is colloqially termed loudness maximising and it uses multiband compression. It's done offline and the track...

Haven't posted here for awhile and just wanted to catch up with tannin. I'm a online/editor colourist in the UK. The only thing produced in 4x3 now is the news. And thats only because they haven't got the resources to switch immediately. Cheap cameras are only now producing 16x9 images off a...

When Nick Parks collected his Oscar he wanted to turn up in a motorcycle with a side-car, I don't remember what happened to him enroute but he ended up getting arrested... Often the way with genius...

Hey P5-133XL, I can't do Tannin in drag, but I think I've got one of him snogging a bloke. Actually no! I've just looked again and it was my girlfriend he's fondling. Sorry!

I've just waded through most of the postings on this subject. Northern Ireland will be resolved by political will eventually and that is significant. Israel/Palestine probably can't get any worse which means it will get better. Also, there is good journalism going on in their now (try some...

Those among us Hands up all those people who got there little achievements badges, wore their little uniform, said "Any drinks with that" and colluded in the chip crime.:excl:

Thommo's innings, almost the best innings in test cricket.

Bone, there are loads of examples of bad Panasonic gear. The BBC bought 300 D3's at £28,000 a pop and they all went bad. That’s a big mistake, then Channel 4 bought 80 D5's that are even more expensive and they dumped them all soon after and bought Sony Digital Betacam. Panasonic professionally...

More cricket, love it. I could do with a beer now, it doesn't seem right. Ironically Mr. Grammar Police (always respect your elders), my English friends argue your point. But I still stand by mine. I would argue that the group of players who comprised your greatest team (who incidentally lost...

TV's I spend about £30,000 a year on monitors and TV's. Listen to Cougtech. Here is a man who knows his onions. Never buy a Sony. I have several grade 1 Sony monitors and they are excellent but £11,000 a piece. Anything less than stratospheric pro monitoring from Sony has serious flaws. Their...

Hi there, Skeet here, work question help please. I will hand over to my learned friend, Barry the Greek, with our problem... Hi...Barry the Greek here. I need some help building an Avid DVexpress system and would like your recommendations on a suitable motherboard. I want to run a P4 2.4G (Avid...

Don't you just love cricket. What a great position from which to have a cricket argument. I don't buy the great Ozzie team of Chappels era anymore. Had lot's of great lager discussions about that era of cricket in one or two Soho drinking establishments. First thing I will say is that the...

Not the cricket again, ha ha ha! The thing that really makes me chuckle about the cricket is the fact that the Pommes were actually doing everything right. Nasser Hussain has been exemplary as captain. He even doffs his cap to Steve Waugh and has taken on board lots of what Steve Waugh has...

Sorry about the previous post, I've just figured-out how to quote a previous post. I was of course back referencing "The Grammar Police", who had very eloquently rendered a non-sober portrayal of the smokey club, blues session, tortured soul, art-house bass player, propping up the destined for...

The Grammar Police and a Tele Brought tears to my eyes! Or maybe it was the old Tele bass I was playing. I've just got it back from a setup. It has been gigged a bit in the last ten years, so I thought I would do the right thing and get a fret dress and finally pay some attention to the...

The music market is swamped with sound-cards, from the Echoes to Digidesigns (both US). They all come in varying input/output configurations and are all superior to Creatives usable but technically inferior offerings. I have used many different flavours in a variety of studio applications, from...

ala Capability Brown in reverse, Tannin. He planted fast growing trees around an Oak to force it up tall and straight, then cut the surrounding trees away to let the Oak grow wide producing Oak monsters in the classic English garden style. Who is your friend, Belinda?

Yes of course Tea, silly me. Ape and cow is never really going to work is it. My humblest apologise and please accept this banana as a token of my genuine remorse. I will also withdraw gracefully from this most esteemed forum and would like to introduce a friend of mine, Ekee Ekee Ekee Fatang...

Correct me please if I've missed the boat a bit here but the first name to consider when buying anything as lo-fi as computer audio monitors would have to be Yamaha. Tannin, you should have spent enough time in front of NS-10's to know how influential they are. I recently purchased a small...

Sorry about that Tea, my best wishes to your partner. I hope this is not impertinent, but are you aware that there are charity organisations in Oz that can assist extrication from arranged marriages.

No relation, I can assure you (although I often find it confusing myself). Post Republic's T.Wilson has a degree in Russian from Oxford University. Now he really does correct your spelling, syntax, grammar and Americanisation’s. He has also got a stunning German girlfriend called Lima, so I...

Yikes Fushigi, I need more space. I've got GAS (Gear Acquistion Syndrome). Thanks for your responses everybody, I'm about to attempt my first gear change as I ascend the learning curve. Video of course differs slightly to true computer data because it is nearly always acquired by another...

Thanks Tea & Cliptin (regarding 15,000 RPM) The Storage Forum comes up trumps again..... Just as an aside, has anybody had any experience with a JBOD (fibre channel). We are running three (all about 800 Gig). Is redundancy the only major difference between it and a RAID? We currently use them...

Has anyboby had any experience with 15,000 RPM drives. I'm having one installed and was curious to know if they are troublesome in anyway. :?:

Aha!!! I recognise that heater. Bone, what are you going to do for sticky tape now. Can you light your ciggies on it, do girls take off their tops when they sit on the lush shag pile carpet perspiring with anticipation. Have you considered the ramifications of faux Victorian, middle class...
