Message-ID: Mike "Obi Wan Kenobi" Bahr urged: >Go see it. See it NOW. It's hands down the best movie of the year, and >is fighting Braveheart in my mind for the title of most realistic war >movie ever made. Don't miss it. It's INTENSE. Call me nit-picky, but how would any of us know whether Braveheart's war scenes were truly realistic or not? Sure, it *seemed* realistic, but since none of us were there, and I haven't heard about any jammers being experts on that era (and even experts can be wrong due to inconsistancies in historical record, etc), we just don't know. For all we know, there could have been several anachronisms. It was much easier to make SPR's war scenes correct because many of the actual combat veterans are still around, and there still exists film footage.

The tablatures on UACM aren't done by one person, but by well over 30-40 Ytsejammers. If you think you can do better, send me your tabs and I'll put them in UACM's tablatures section. :) > 4.

I have a wonderful set of Dream Theater mp3's that I want to record on CD, so obviously I have to decompress mp3 to wav. I had some very disappointing results with Winamp decoder, the quality just drops when I convert to wav. Is there any other software that does the job more professionally?

No, if you go back and read my review again you will notice that I refer to another, earlier cd called "Upon Deaf Ears." I like Building Rome better. The musicianship is not DT-style wank/prog (I like that - don't get me wrong) but more like...I am not sure. Kinda progressive (time changes) and obviously talented - but not Watchtower-y or anything. I think there are soundclips at the Dominion records site. Maybe at the Noise site, too.

Yes, there is. Try Fraunhofer Institute's l3dec. I should do the work in the best way possible, I think, but this may be old news (and if there are even better ways, I'd like to know :-) ).

Or even think of Django Reinhardt, who played stuff with only two fingers, where ten would not be enough for me. But all speed in high spheres. What really makes a musician is that he can USE his technical abilities and CREATIVITY to CREATE something, which then is called music, which doesnt mean it always has to express emotions (sorry if you did not have any listening to lte, i really had to care for my p#+*s to stay in my pants.... ;) ) or feelings. even better if it does. it can just be for fun, as well (or money...... :( ) to come to an end, PLEASE lets all piss on mikes dogs till he ensures us to record another lte.
