I am going to put in a kit, and from years of talking to really great studio drummers, I want to know if their is anything I should consider when assembling the kit and the heads to keep the tuning from going flat on the Batter /resonant head situation. Is their a new material that streches over the indie rI'm to keep it tight? or do I just have to break them in and keep tuning.

I read very recently (either online or some printed publication, but I considered it a "trusted" source - while still acknowledging that rumors do happen) that BeOS is discontinuing development. The source seemed to indicate that this was likely the result of BeOS' abandoning multi-media development for an Internet application thrust.

Here's a song that I should have put in that mix contest.

Recorded in my studio in November/2000, it's a cover of "Mustang Sally" that my friend's blues band did with a really cool, funky edge to it.

Great performances on this one. ;)

You may or may not be aware of the HUGE audio scene on Irc's DALnet among others. Many of the channels and topics there may be extremely distasteful for many users here. Hopefully I dont need to elaborate.
A few of us are banding together to create a new channel with all the good of DALnet audio, yet hopefully without the bad.

I'm looking a getting a new A/D converter as a front end for my Yamaha Aw4416
choices so far are used CRane Song Hedd (not the 192) or Lucid 2496

I guess the Crane Song would be "better" and i guess open up some more options but i've never seen one.Its also 3x the price of the lucid.

Anyone use one? Can they be upgraded to other sample rates(96hz or up)?

Downloading the songs now. .yes, I will participate.

Questions that need to be addressed:

I am thinking of making a new audio app. I want it to have VST as well as DX support, what is the process (legal ) of doing this ?

I am seriously considering making an audio app. I would like it to have VST support. Is this truly an open format? Do you have to pay the Borg ( steinberg )?

I see Logic and SAW having VST, wish vegas and Samplitude had it.

Mine will arrive in the next few days.

Fletcher, gimme some starting ideas to try out.

What are some 'fantastic' things you've done around a drum set with it? (in combination with a few distressors)

Any favorite settings yet? ...on OH, drum bus, other bus, Gtrs, other instruments.

I'd like a show of hands as to how many people are using Reason...Why do you use it? How do you use it? What do you like most about it? What is you favorite trick that you do with it? For example..triggering multiple devices with other devices and so forth. I think this would be a cool discussion to see what possibilities there are and also to give other people ideas as to what to do with it.
