You wrote 3 lines of trash, when you could have posted 1 line of help. Real mature, I'm sure mommy is proud. Anyone wanna volunteer that 1 line of text to help some of us off the list? This is exactly why I want off the list. Pathetic lame ppl that have nothing more to say that ranting trash at other ppl. I signed up for this list thinking it had something to do with Dream Theater, it's actually full of a bunch of coward faggots like this guy. No I dont mean all of you, just dickheads like this guy and Oysterman who find it more helpful to be assholes than to be helpful. They probably didn't help because they dont know how to get off the list either. . .

If anyone out there would >like to share some knowlegde I am more than willing to listen. well first of all, let me tlel you never to get a fostex x-14. No one is poor enough that they have to go that cheap. if a bum on the street wants to get into 4-track recording, he should hold out till he can afford the next level up. might as well use a tape deck. in fact, that'd be more useful. i won't go into details unless you want me to, but let me just say again, don't get it :) i dunno about the cheap tascam 4-track, tho. besides that, it depends (like almost everything in life) on how much you want to spend for features. There's the cheapie ones like the fostex x-14 and the tascam porta-02 that cost circa $160, which usually have one-track-at-a-time recording, the simplest mixer possible, probably 1 instrument and one mic in and maybe an RCA in if you're lucky (for recording over a tape deck input or something like that). The next step up is things like the tascam 414 or the fostex x-55 that are around $330 (quite a jump, that's why i went for the fostex x-14 initially) which have a few more features like recording two or maybe 4 tracks at a time, usually 2 or 4 line inputs and 2 mic inputs, simple EQ (high/low), maybe dolby noise reduction. After that come the $500 units such as the fostex x-77 and the tascam 424 MKII (the one i'm currently lusting after). These will probably have 4 mic and 4 line inputs, 3-band EQ (high/mid/low), auto punch in/out (good for when you wanna try a solo over and over, you hit record before the part and you've already told it where to start and stop recording so it automatically starts recording exactly where you want it to and you can be ready to play right there), full logic controls (electronic hence more precise as opposed to the mechanical push a button in kind), and multiple tape speeds (usually two - 1-7/8 ips and 3-3/4 ips - 1-7/8 is normal tape speed, and 3-3/4 is a higher speed which gives you better quality but less recording time on a tape), and it might have nice counter features like return to zero and location points. Anything above this level is either 8-track or digital or things like that - if you're getting that you're either already involved with recording so you don't need help, or you're one of those spolied rich kids who get the best of whatever they ask for like in The Toy :) That's about it. Hope it helps. Any clarifications or whatever you need, reply to the list or e-mail me privately, email_address_removed.

Message-ID: should be mamed and forced to read it six times in one day. Failing this they should be doubly mamed and told to get out more, read more, and experience life. Lord of the Rings is possibly my favorite trilogy of all time. I've read it at least six times already, and I'll probably read it more than six more times before I die. God, I love it, though I fail to understand why people write songs about it. It seems silly to write rock songs about elves, dwarves and men. Perhaps some duettes for classical guitar and voice?

Well, in an interview with Quentin, he only put the band-aid on the back of Marcellus' head because he had a scar or something there that didn't look good on the comera. Plus, he also said that even he doesn't know what was supposed to be in the briefcase... of course I am sure that he has his ideas..... -- ~Michael Kizer "Enter ivory gates through midnight skies..." - http://www.ivorygate.com >>> Fates Warning ~ Island In The Stream <<< >>> Dream Theater and Kevin Moore "Unofficial" Song Books <<< ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Sep 1998 18:24:04 -0400 From: Gary Davis To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: Chroma Key Message-ID: Tony De Laender wrote : > >> The album is only available via the Chroma Key website >> at www.chromakey.com > We also have Chroma Key at The Artist Shop .

Yo! Aren't you the same person ( i use that term loosely) formerly known as Hazex who was thrown bodily from this list by the Great and Powerful Skadz for starting some trash like this awhile back by calling our beloved Eckie a racist? Let me see if I get this straight: 1. you were thrown off this list for beyond bad behavior and inciting a riot. 2. you got back on this list and proceeded to insult all of us stating that we are "coward faggots" (mirror, pot, kettle, black) 3. You wish to unsub? Keep spewing trash I think you'll get thrown off again. I think you take perverse pleasure in coming here to put down everyone. It appears that you are very unhappy with your own life and can only feel better by putting down others. You have a nice day Saxon!

Actually you are thinking of an old Gypsy legend. Through salt behind your back to keep the Devil away. There are a lot of variations of this especially in the Romi culture (Gypsy culture). There is no place in the Bible where anything like that is written (I know. I have read it :)) Since we are on the subject of evil . . . I just got Iced Earth's "Days of Purgatory". It kicks MAJOR ASS ! ! ! It also came with an order form where I can order more of their stuff.

(or sumptin' like that -- it's been awhile since i've heard this album and i've had waay tooo much fun since ;-) immediately i was asking everyone, "Who the fsck is Gollum?" it didn't take long for someone to point me into the right direction. it's the only series of books that i can say that i've read 3x. really kewl. really glad LZ turned me onto one of the best set of fantasy books ever. >speaking of 'lord of the rings', has anyone read lampoon's 'bored of the >ring'?

Try "Ever" from 1993, it's no concept album like "Subterranea" but at least as good. Their earlier stuff is more 80s-commercial-neo-prog, some great moments, but never as good as those later albums.
