That may be true, but in reality, if you were only recording one track at a time, you could record it onto the RAMdisk and then when you were finished, copy the completed track onto your hard drive, thus eliminating the need for more RAMdisk space. That means you have 12 minutes of recording time PER track, not total. Or is there some reason that you'd need that kind of speed even AFTER recording it? I figure that once you lay down the tracks themselves, and you want to do post-production editing, you don't even NEED it. I've been editing a CD for a show that my theater department is doing, and since i don't need to actually record what I'm doing and just editing an already-made wave file, I don't need the speed of the drive, just a good amount of processor time and a good wave-file editor. Sound Forge works just fine for me. ------------------------------------------------- Andrew Coutermarsh email_address_removed http://cout.dhs.org/ _Cloak on IRC ICQ: 2513441 ------------------------------------------------- He stands before the window His shadow slowly fading from the wall And from an ivory tower hears her call "Let the light surround you" - Dream Theater "Surrounded" ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Mar 1999 09:53:58 +0200 From: "Raivo Hool" To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: JPM guitars for sale Message-ID: On 25 Mar 99, at 11:32, one big monkey in email_address_removed's basement typed: > From: Frank Benenati > You know, I have been coveting a JPM100 for a while now and I just can't > justify spending over 1000 dollars for a guitar.

Urrghh! I know there have plenty of fans here, but its really not my type of thing. Anyway, apart from that the line-up is great. Details of the timetable will be available next week. 29th May at Evry (35km from Paris, in a NE direction(I think)) 1) ANGRA 2) DIMMU BORGIR 3) GAMMA RAY 4) VANDEN PLAS 5) ROYAL HUNT 6) EDGUY 7) MISANTHROPE 8) FREEDOM CALL Just a reminder that though this is a 'festival', it will take place indoors, at a venue with a capacity of 4000 only. I don't have details yet on tickets, but if anyone is interested, please mail me and I send you the details when I get them. The festival at Strasbourg the same day (with Manowar, System of a Down, Fear Factory etc), has been cancelled, because the same bands want to play an OZZFest gig in the US. Oh well, I'll probably be there regardless.

I don't like Smokie - but chek out what the band is doing to themselves. They just keep playing the same songs over-and-over.

Jarzombek is a freakin madman... he plays some seriously wicked odd time shit... There used to be a Spastic Ink webpage, but I can't find it anymore... you should be able to order Watchtower and Spastik Ink from LaserCD. While the stuff is extremely technical, it can become over-bearingly annoying at times... another band in the super-technical vein is Seiges Even... they even followed the Watchtower formula on one album. http://www.jersey.net/~lasercd for LaserCD While we're at it... Spiral Architect is supposedly being released in September on Sensory which is Ken Golden's (LaserCD) own label.

Below 1 Hz? that's easy! We call it DC. (Direct Current) I can see John M. rewiring the Mesa so he can couple the plate supply to the speakers. He should be able to get out a 64th note before the voice coils vaporize. Hell, maybe he should play for The Who.

Responding to Scott's comment: >But yes, I'm quite interested in other prog rock/metal band's connections to literature, not only from DT. i also enjoy a good literary work reinterpreted by skilled musicians. As far as recommendations, i can't even begin to make a list without putting Steve Harris at the top. i know, Iron Maiden doesn't exactly fall into the prog metal category (but, i refuse to use categories, anyway :-) ). But the list of works he has written influenced by classical sources is phenomenal!!! Granted, most of these songs are from historical influences, but at least one of his songs is derived from classical literature -- and it just happens to be my #1, all-time favorite song "The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner". That song, in particular, helped to push me over the edge of fandom of Rock-n-Roll; i saw just how intelligent the songs could be!
