I don’t know who else makes stuff like this

I don’t know who else makes stuff like this.I also use the Echoplexs quite a lot It’s probably the best tape echo machine from the Seventies. But, again, it can’t be taken on the road because it’ll break down straight away They have a great overloaded tape sound on them, it’s dirty. Digital is good but too clean, and sometimes we want the rough edges.That’s the problem with most of music in Eighties, and now people are going back to more dirty sounds. They even did research and found that people’s ears like distortion and the harmonics it produces.I have just got a new computer. The box of instructions read like a chemistry book and it doesn’t understand being punched. I have four big boxes of instructions.You can do a lot of good stuff with Pro Tools, many an interesting sound. Allegedly it’s easy to work with, but I have only had it three days.

I ended up being the one to learn how to use it out of the band. I got the short straw.I have always had a reel-to-reel machine to make music with, and been in a bedroom with a microphone and tape recorder. I have learnt like that.I have also worked with great producers and if can’t learn something from them then shouldn’t be making music.. Apple Computer’s announcement last week of an advanced version of the Mac operating system, Mac OS X (10), sounded the death knell for its next- generation, multi-platform Rhapsody project.

The updated operating system, which should ship in autumn 1999, will combine core elements of Mac OS 8.1 and Rhapsody, which has been in development since Apple bought Steve Jobs’ NeXT Software in December 1996. “The Mac OS has 22 million customers,” said Jobs, Apple’s interim CEO, at a Developers’ Conference in California. “Far from being something we should discard, it is our crown jewel. It needs to be polished and extended.”
Apple said it will continue its advances with the Mac OS Version 8.5 is due this autumn, with 8.6 due next spring. These releases will include services for developers that will allow them to begin to develop for Mac OS X, which promises memory protection in system crashes, faster networking and a faster launch time.`Counterfeit’ PentiumsPentium II chips that have been illegally altered so that they run at higher speeds are finding their way into systems in the United States and other countries. Cheaper Intel chips running at 233MHz can be modified, relabelled as 350MHz and sold on the grey market, where brokers buy components and sell them to computer companies that need them immediately, for up to $400 more than their true price.So far, 333 cases of counterfeit Pentium II processors have been discovered, mostly in the United States, but also in Europe and Australia.Falsely labelled chips sometimes overheat at their increased speeds and can cause other parts of a PC to fail.

A German magazine has posted a program that can identify counterfeit chips on its Web site ( http:// www.heise.de/ct/)Ageing surfersA study by RelevantKnowledge Inc showed that the over-fifties are using the Internet more than might be expected, with sites devoted to travel planning, search engines and free e-mail being the most popular. The over- 50 age group, attractive to advertisers because of its generally high disposable income, surfed 19 per cent longer than all other Web users combined during April, the survey found, and spent nearly an hour more on the Web last month than they did in March. Women over 50 used the Internet on an average of 9.9 days in April, 20 per cent more than in March.Online gaming growthWireplay, British Telecom’s online gaming service, which is accessible via local call dial-up, has more than 50,000 UK subscribers, officials said at last week’s Internet World UK show in London.
