  1. haha, yeah... in terms of the physics, I'm a bit skeptical that this will actually work, but still intrigued.
  2. Matthew beat me to it while I was typing hah! But yes, everything he said.
  3. "With it being recorded at 44,100, is that bad?" Not necessarily bad, but you will likely need to convert the files to 48K. "How big of a quality difference are we looking at vs 48,000?" With a dialog track - no audible difference to most humans. 32-bit audio files are theoretically "better"in terms of headroom when recording/mixing/processing, but to my knowledge there are no consumer devices that are capable of playing back at 32-bit. "Does the fact that it was recorded at 32bit, make the 44,100 superior to a 48,000 recorded at 16 or 24 bits?" As the senator would say: It depends. Was it recorded using a 32-bit A/D converter? Not likely. A good 16-bit converter is still better than a half-assed 24-bit converter.
  4. Sweet. NBC News also reveals that: "The gadget's battery can be recharged the old-fashioned way via plugging it in to the grid, but it gets extra battery power by harvesting energy from the electromagnetic noise in the surrounding environment, such as Wi-Fi signals." http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/noise-canceling-window-sensor-helps-you-enjoy-silence-amid-cacaphony-8C11391267
  5. Well, I didn't mean to sound snippy. There is probably a good chance that you will find at least one of the 32 presets useable, but there is no guarantee of course. Perhaps you could find an old palm pilot for cheap on ebay or similar to make scanning possible?
  6. Just tested this here with iPhone 5 and it works as before. In the sidebar of iTunes, select your iOS device and make sure you have "Manually manage music and videos" checked under Summary > Options.
  7. Q: Which frequencies for wireless are my best friends? A: The ones that don't show any activity when you scan. (This works in other locations around Texas and other states, even in other countries)

  9. Ok, so I jumped too (after cloning my startup drive with Carbon Copy Cloner, of course). As far as I can tell, Pro Tools 9.0.6 runs just fine on my 2010 MBP with 2.6GHz i7. My interface is Apogee Duet - the driver update was already available on their site. No problems there. Decided to test PT by composing a new music track, tested a bunch of plug-ins, including 3rd party stuff like Massey, Native Instruments etc. Everything seems fine. Pro Tools chokes after adding more than 4-5 virtual instruments, so nothing new there hah! Reminded me why I only use Logic to create music. Jeff, I think you are right about the Finder, but this is actually how I personally always liked it, since having a bunch of windows open gets messy quickly imho. With the tabs, I see no need to even have a second window open, since files can be dragged/copied into the other tabs. Of course, I don't know how you work or what you are trying to do, so I agree that the option should still be there. I'm very much liking the Maps. I work mostly in new locations all the time, so map bookmarks on the computer showing up instantly on the phone is great. The 3D satellite view is insane, btw. I can see stuff on my deck haha, and flying around the high-rise buildings in Downtown... not sure how they did it, but it looks like there's not one single car on the freeways. Zombie apocalypse? (yeah, I'm bored from having some downtime haha, someone, quick - throw me a gig before I start building carts and stuff that I don't need). Very happy to see the stupid fake-leather stuff gone from calendars and contacts... Battery life does indeed seem to be improved.
  10. There are also some reports of people having PT 9.0.6 "working just fine" on Mavericks, so it **might work** - of course it is NOT supported by Avid, so I am not recommending this by any means.
  11. Tabs in finder is something I have been waiting for for 10 years. And it's FREEEEEE. However, I'm not upping it until I can confirm that Pro Tools 9 will work. Anyone? (Yeah, I know - I will check DUC).
  12. If you are near one of our usual suspects, go feel the difference and decide for yourself. Personally, I once considered getting a small aluminum Traveler for backup, but when I picked one up and held it for three seconds, decided against it. Obviously with a longer pole, the difference in weight would be even bigger. +1 on AFMY's point about dents.
  13. I took delivery of a box of this stuff today and YES!!! Thank You Jim! Works like a charm.
  14. There is no magic wand. Seems like a situation of "it is what it is".
  15. I got some pre-cut card stock a few years ago and have been printing my own. I like that I can change the design and info as needed. Btw. this thread made me think of this
  16. Home Depot. Links won't work for some reason, but just search for Velcro on their main page. The "industrial strength" comes in 15 ft x 2 in. and works good in my experience.
  17. Steven, could the answer to your question be this here? http://www.hulu.com/watch/19046
  18. Received and installed today. Nice thick backplate that gives the whole cup a solid and sturdy feel. Thanks Remote Audio!
