The Perfect Cocktails
for a Little Sun
Each time Absolut partners with an artist to create an Art Bar, one of the most important aspects of the partnership is to create a menu of custom cocktails that represents the artist's vision in the same way that their bespoke installations do.
During this year's Coachella, Absolut partnered with the Little Sun project, which famed artist Olafur Eliasson and engineer Frederik Ottesen started to help provide clean energy light to the 1.6 billion people in the world who don't have access to electricity.
Since this project is about bringing a new type of sun into peoples' lives, it only made sense the the cocktails created for the Absolut Little Sun Art Bar would feature bright flavors that a the perfect refreshment for the hot days of Coachella.
Eternal Sunshine Tonic
Absolut Vodka with house made basil and grapefruit tonic.
Shine On:
Absolut Citron, lemon juice, local honey, & rhubarb bitters
Empire of the Sun:
Absolut Mandrin, Becherovka Liqueur, lime juice, orange bitters, & house made grenadine

And this year, in addition to the stifling heat and mosquitoes, we have something else to watch out for in the Coastal Bend.
This week, San Patricio County health officials were encouraging residents to have their pets vaccinated against rabies after two skunks recently tested positive for the deadly disease near Lake Corpus Christi.
"Skunks come in contact with dogs and cats, so we're really emphasizing the need for people to make sure they're vaccinated properly," the San Pat medical director said in Thursday's Caller-Times.
His department also recommends rabies vaccinations for horses and livestock that can come in contact with rabid skunks and frequently with people.
If this warning sounds familiar, that's because it is.
Just four months ago, Johnny Carabajal, then Bee County's Community Affairs Department enforcement officer, was urging all animal owners to get their dogs, cats and livestock vaccinated days after a case of rabies was confirmed in a skunk.
That rabies case was confirmed following a Feb. 14 incident inside the Beeville city limits in which a woman saw a skunk entering her house through a pet door in the afternoon. The skunk then attacked her dog, biting it in the mouth, before the woman pushed the animal out of her house but was not bitten.
Her dog had been vaccinated and was given a rabies booster shot, and the woman was told to see her doctor. They were fortunate.
Rabies is fatal in almost any animal it infects unless the animal has been vaccinated. It also can be fatal for humans unless treated quickly.
Carabajal said the only way animal owners can be sure their pets and livestock are protected is to get them vaccinated for rabies as soon as possible.
Skunks are a common carrier of rabies. But other wild animals in South Texas have been found rabid – including bats, foxes, coyotes, raccoons and other warmblooded mammals.
Pet owners, whether residing in the city or country, keep your animals in enclosed yards or pens, and try to make sure your cats and dogs do not come in contact with a rabid wild animal.
Most of all, be certain all your pets are vaccinated. – Chip Latcham

Estelle Miller JacksonAugust 30,2014
CORINTH CORNER Estelle Miller Jackson (1910-2014) died peacefully at the Blue Spruce Home in Bradford, Vermont, on Aug. 28, 2014, at the age of 103.
Born Eleanor Estelle Miller on Sept. 25, 1910, in Plainview, New York, the only daughter and youngest child of Nathaniel Edward Miller and Eleonora Wilhelmina von Peyn Miller, Estelle was raised in Oyster Bay, Little Neck and Centerport, Long Island. She graduated from Huntington High School in 1928 and worked for the Long Island Lighting Co. in Northport, New York. In June of 1934, she married the Rev. Edgar Newman Jackson, who was serving as pastor of the Centerport Methodist Church, and joined him in his lifelong ministry. Together, they served churches in Centerport and Mamaroneck, New York; and Thomaston, New Haven, Winsted and Bridgeport, Connecticut. During their 14-year tenure in Mamaroneck, Estelle worked for the Methodist Board of Missions in New York City. In 1965 they retired to Corinth Corner, Vermont.
In 1937, Estelle and Edgar were one of the seven couples that founded the Chelsea Farm Society, a cooperative retreat in Corinth. They built a cottage where they and their family spent many happy summers on their beloved hillside.
Estelle was a talented musician who sang in the church choirs and played the piano. She studied at New York University and Mansfield College, Oxford.
She loved to travel and accompanied Edgar on many trips to Europe, Australia and throughout North America. Following his death in 1994, she continued her travels to Europe and around the U.S. with her daughter, Lois.
She loved learning and was a constant reader. She was also a master of all of the domestic arts. She was a fabulous cook and seamstress. She also knitted and crocheted. From 1967 to 72, she and her daughter ran the Stitchin Time Shop, a sewing and knitting supply and crafts shop in Chelsea, Vermont. Invitations to her legendary dinner parties were greatly sought-after.
She was active in civil rights and womens rights organizations and was an ardent progressive Democrat. She will be remembered for her ebullient personality, her positive outlook on life, and her concern for others.
She was predeceased by her husband in 1994 and by her two sons: Edgar D. Jackson, 1935-1936, and James W. Jackson, 1938-1972. She was also predeceased by her brothers, Daniel Edward Miller, of Centerport, New York, and Frederick Miller, of Huntington, New York, and Sanibel, Florida.
She is survived by her daughter, Lois; granddaughters Julie Guenther, of Corinth and Denver, Colorado, and Andrea Mayerson, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and four great-grandchildren.
An interment service will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2014, at the Corinth Corner Cemetery. A memorial service will be at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014, at the East Corinth Congregational Church in East Corinth, Vermont, with the Rev. C. Michael Caldwell officiating. Funeral arrangements are under the aegis of Boardway & Cilley, of Chelsea, Vermont.

China's Deception On Terrorism
The terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, brought with them a new strategic order that would change many balances in the world. The United States began a global war against international terrorism, which sees that country as its main target. Some countries, however, took advantage of that struggle and hoped to use it for their own ends. The most important of these was China.
China tried to portray the United States' reaction to terrorism as "a war against Muslims," and issued a message in October, 2001. That message said, in essence, that China wanted to "cooperate with the Western world against the Islamic terrorists in East Turkestan."
Yet that statement by China is a clear contradiction. The people of East Turkestan are waging an entirely justified struggle to protect their own values and culture, live according to their own religion, and speak their own language. For many years now, that struggle has been waged on a purely democratic platform, thanks to the good sense of the East Turkestan leaders. There may be individuals or groups in East Turkestan who are inclined to the use of violence, just as in any other society, but that does not change the fact that the struggle of East Turkestan is justified. The real terrorist force in the region is the Chinese regime, which is waging a long-term campaign of genocide against the innocent Muslims of East Turkestan.
Western commentators were not slow to express this fact. Former U.S. Senator Jesse Helms was one of these. An example is an article titled "Beware China's Ties to the Taliban" in the October 14, 2001, edition of The Washington Times, just after China's propaganda initiative. Helms had served for many years as Republican party senator for North Carolina, and had been a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. In his article, he described how deceptive China's move to gain the support of the United States and the West really was. He stated that there were close links between China and the Taliban regime, and that China was hostile both to Islam and to the West:
As we have seen, Americans are aware of what is happening in Red China and of the terrible oppression of the Muslims of East Turkestan, and therefore regard China, not as a "part of a solution to terrorism," but as a part of terrorism itself.
That view has now come to be shared by many in the West. Various figures are warning of the need to be careful in the face of moves by certain countries that hope to take advantage of the US's fight against terrorism. In a November 5, 2001 article, Thomas Beal, one of the editors of The Asian Wall Street Journal stressed the following:
Later in the article, Beal turned to the Chinese regime's oppression of the people of East Turkestan, and stated that it was still going on. He concluded his article with these words:
For its part, Turkey needs to keep these facts in mind in its relationship with China, and to use diplomatic channels to support the rightful struggle of its fellow Turks and co-religionists in East Turkestan.

Laurier scientists awarded Ontario Research Fund grants
Apr 12/13| For Immediate Release
Abby Goodrum, Vice-President, Research
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
Three Wilfrid Laurier University scientists have been awarded more than $150,000 in infrastructure grants by the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation. The grants were announced today at the University of Waterloo by John Milloy, MPP for Kitchener Centre.
Stephanie Dewitte-Orr, Diane Gregory and Geoff Horsman have each been awarded an Ontario Research Fund-Research Infrastructure grant to provide equipment and resources for their research labs.
Laurier is proud of these extraordinary researchers and is thrilled that the Ministry of Research and Innovation has seen fit to acknowledge the importance of their research through these infrastructure grants, said Abby Goodrum, vice-president: Research.
Dewitte-Orr, assistant professor in Lauriers Biology department and the Health Sciences program, will receive $44,373 for her work on antiviral strategies. With viruses causing global pandemics and vaccine resistance, it is more important than ever to understand the interactions between viruses and their hosts. The infrastructure provided by her ORF award will allow her research team to study virus-host interactions at the cellular level. Understanding these interactions will aid in the development of novel drug treatments, with clear benefits to Ontarios economy, environment, and health care system.
Gregory, assistant professor in the department of Kinesiology and Physical Education and the Health Sciences program, will receive $76,997 for her musculoskeletal spinal disorders laboratory. Her research focuses on identifying and reducing potential risks of low back pain that exist in occupational and daily living tasks. She will be testing the material properties of spinal tissue to understand the detrimental effects of high forces and certain postures on the spine and measuring muscle demand during various tasks performed by human participants.
Horsman, assistant professor in Lauriers Chemistry department, will receive $30,902 for his research on how microorganisms naturally synthesize small molecules such as antibiotics. More than 99 per cent of microorganisms do not readily grow in the laboratory. Horsmans team will investigate previously unexplored microbial metabolism by extracting environmental DNA naturally occurring in Canadian environments. The infrastructure funded by the ORF grant will be critical to the discovery of molecules with potential benefits for health, agriculture, and the environment.
Research teams in southwestern Ontario are ready to make breakthroughs in key areas like health, communications and advanced manufacturing. Im proud to be part of a government that recognizes how cutting-edge research improves our quality of life and our economic future, said Reza Moridi, Ontario Minister of Research and Innovation.
Ontario is supporting more than 5,000 researchers working on 42 projects at 18 institutions across the province through the Ontario Research FundResearch Infrastructure program. Since 2003, the Ontario Research FundResearch Infrastructure program has supported 1,430 projects and helped train more than 20,000 highly qualified personnel province-wide.

Simon, the thing is, and this is a very real situation, consider the vast amount of professional studios who have geared up to the tune on thundreds of thousands of dollars. 99% of the studios are all PT's studios. Nobody can afford to back up and start all over again simply because, nobody is going to take that big of a hit in the budget for what most would consider "slight" improvements. We are talking about an entire industry re-tooling here, and that would be an enormous financial burden. Imagine what would occur if every time someone came out with something better the entire industry would have to re-tool! Can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Nuendo IS "better" however, the retailers who have a rlationship with Digidesign are not going to push Nuendo even if they know it is a better platform than PTs. It's a business decision. I DO understand the 64-bit floating point type of thing but, at th end of the day it doesn't make that much difference now anyway. This is the age iMusic, iLove, ipretty-much-everything, the very personification of quantity over quality. We cannot have it both ways my friend, we cannot. Apple destroyed the music industry so that they could give it to the average-computer-user. The question is, Now, what are they doing with it? Now that everyman has the power to make records, why don't they make better records than ever before IF this "everymans-recording-studio is so much better than it ever was? Apple executives are the new rock stars. They have built a monopoly. Time will tell if it stands. I know one thing, when someone reaches the pinnnicle, the top of the mountain, everyone else rushes to knock them down. Sooner or later it WILL happen. What goes up, must come down. Every man doesn't have any power, Apple does! Who is making the money here? Apple is! Are artists so much better off? Nope. Apple is. Thatis the long and short of it. Does Apple do what it does because Apple loves music? Of course, not. Apple LOVES yur money! Apple KILLED music so that it could be a big fat rat.
Who wants to rescue the music? Yeah? Toss your mac over a bridge and into a river. Don't buy into the Apple lie. You don't like Apple but, you'd like to learn PTs? Run PTs on a PC, I do!
Nuendo, PTs, Logic. Hm, which platform should you choose? Choose one of the 'big boys" stay away from the mid-level stuff if you can. Sure, it all works but, if you want to maybe one day "play with the big boys" then take Logic over Sonor or Cubase. There are very powerful reasons why to choose PTs. Are these reasons justified? Depends upon what your goals are. You don't like PTs? Try Logic. You aren't into the Digidesign style, choose Nuendo. How many interviews have you read with a top producer who is using say, Sonor or Cubase? Exactly. I know a lot of guys on here are using Reaper. Whatever it takes to get it done but, consider this, the industry will not change, it is what it is. If this is just somebodys hobby it's whatever but, if, there is any degree of seriousness at all to what yu do, do not delay, go with one of the big boy software packages.
Cheap never makes better records people, even if you want it to. If this were the truth everybody and their mothers cat would have studios full of Behringer gear and they'd all be running the free version of Reaper now wouldn't they? I mean, in real production, the bottom line ($$$) is everything right? Wrong. If someone cannot hear the difference between this-that-and the other thing tell me, why the hell are they are rying to make records in the first place?

This does bring up a point: The "good" thing is, most of what you learn on one DAW transfers to any other DAW so when it's time for PTs, Nuendo or, Logic it's just a new workflow. Use the free stuff until you need the big boy software. If someone does happen to create something which someone wants to use in whatever professional manner, it can always be transfered into a big boy DAW by whoever re-mixes it, and it will get re-mixed, count on it. HERE'S THE POINT... Just make certain that you have WAV copies of every track because, you WILL be needing them should something like this happen to you. This is a very good reason why people should learn how to properly label everything as well. The more notes you take, the better. Send your notes with your tracks. And hey, this is one time when I WILL wish that this senario might happen to you! BUT, better to be ready if it happens than, not to be when it does.

Lzi, I think it needs to be said that Reaper isn't free (for anyone who may be thinking of using it). It does, however, have a very good pricing policy, especially for non-commercial users. There are plenty of commercial users too, by the way. There is no reason people would need to turn to "big boy" DAWs - in fact, there are growing numbers of studios who are turning to Reaper from those DAWS .. because is is more stable and more flexible. There are, of course, times when everyone needs to work with people who use a different DAW, but it is relatively easy to do, whatever the other party is using.

I in no way mean to imply that Reaper isn't an extraordinary piece of software. What I meant to imply was that in an industry which is tooled up on Protools/Digidesign there are not many who will be willing to switch considering the very large outlay of funds it takes to properly set up a Protools HD room nobody in LA or Nashville who has made such a significant investment is going to do an about face that easily. I am certain Reaper will do what any other DAW will do. They all do much same procedures, any differences between DAWs are mostly a workflow issues IMHO. With software, I believe it is largely a matter of what we get used to. It really no different than guitars. Begin on a Les Paul and hances are you will always love Les Pauls. Basic human nature. Familiarity breeds comfort, and comfort sells.
Yes, it is easy to transfer from one DAW into another. The big mix guys in LA are pretty much all running PTs or Logic.
Digidesign gets on my nerves. Their hardware is terribly expensive. And why, I cannot figure out myself. Ever price just the I/O for an HD system? Crazy. You would think you had something much better than an old MCI board and a 2" 16 track machine but, you really don't. The great strength of digital recording has never been the sound, it is the tremendous editing power which made digital take flight. The MCI board/2"/16 track would CRUSH PTs or any DAW system in terms of sound quality however, when it comes time to edit, and I hand you a handful of razor blades, you will understand how digital took over. Any kid in his bedroom can become a professional level editor on a DAW. With razor blades though? Not going to happen overnight. Digital is in effect RECORDING FOR DUMMIES. The fact that anyone can learn how to use a DAW makes the sound quality issue something most will easily sacrifice just because, they can now do something which they never had the opportunity to be involved with before. And, most of those who readily agree to this sacrifice have no clear idea of what they are doing. Most beginning recordists have no clear idea what sound quality even is for God's sake so, in truth, their recording journey begins someplace in the middle, works towards the end but, before ever reaching their intended destination, they learn they must begin at the beginning after all. There is no magic in any DAW. The magic is within you!
"BIG BOY" "littleboy" are merely terms I used because, believe it or not, this is how it is all set up. The most popular DAW is the one which came out first, it's no different than potatoe chips. People are like sheep, they love to follow and they readily will if you lead them! PTs did exactly that. In southern California PTs is king. In NYC PTs is king. I assume in Nashville it is not much different. Digidesign "enslaved" an industry with its pricey hardware, and now they will fight tooth, fang, and nail to retain their advantage. They began this game with their pieces already arranged on the board. Hard to overcome the advantage they hold. Funny thing is, their advantage has absolutely nothing to do with software, it's the hardware that holds them all captive. All I can tell you is, in DC projects came through which had to be converted into Nuendo from all manner of DAWs. In SoCal, everyone seems to be running PTs. I know on guy here who uses Sonor but he doesn't really know what he is doing with it lol.

[quote] I'd suggest that you have already identified the "why" of their expense; it's that psychological monopoly they currently enjoy within the industry. They can charge a fortune for the simple reason that people are willing to accept paying a fortune because it's the "Industry Standard". Adobe do exactly the same with maybe of their products, especially in the design world and, again, people pay it because it's the safe, easy and comfortable option - regardless of ridiculous cost.

They charge the amount of money for their hardware because people continue their marketing scam that they are the "serious" choice. I mean...is Pro Tools even 64-bit yet? No. But just like Waves, people keep buying into their hype and don't demand that they get with the times.

How am I perpetuating a myth? It is not a myth. The myth here is, that some upstart software platform can ever overcome PTs position in the industry. Have you been to an LA studio my dude? Been to NYC? Same situation there as well, PTs rules. PTs is definately king, not dreaming about being king. And yes, they were there first with Sound Designer which later became PTs. Yeah, there are platforms which I believe are better but so what? I think amps are better than amp sims too but, that doesn't stop everyone from using them does it? Or from saying that they "can't hear a difference." lol
Let me get one thing straight, if it were my choice, I'd have stuck with Nuendo. Why though? Everyone around me here uses PTs. So....it's a no-brainer for me.
Yes, 99% of newbie posts will mention Pro Tools. Trouble is, 98.999% of those who mention that they need PTs, don't mention the fact that they NEED to find some talent first! PTs does not perform miricles or, write music for you. Yet anyway.
My thing is, can't beat 'em, better join 'em. You may convieniently say this or that platform is better but, that doesn't make them industry standards though, and the sad fact is, squatters rights are very difficult to overcome. I've no doubt whatsoever that there is something better than PTs, I've used it! It is called Nuendo. I haven't used Reaper, and I doubt its earth-shattering. It's all what you get used to. Familiarity is a powerful drug. I say, it shouldn't matter what you record a song into, it's the song which matters in the end isn't it? How it was created does not matter to most people, and no, most listeners couldn't give a rats ass about the technicalities of recording music, or, if it was made on a 64 bit floating point system or a 32 bit floating point system. At the end of the day all that matters is the music. In 10 years we may be recording onto who knows, something called "Air Bender" that requires no gear whatsoever. Who is to say. It will change though, things always change. And when change inevitably comes the important facts about recording wil not change. You'll have to begin with the songs just as you do right now. It was the same with tape, songs come first. At the end of the day they all end up as crappy mp3's anyway with poor resolution. Yep, everybody now has the power to record now, albeit at a lower level of fidelity. It doesn't matter though, the market is fully conditioned to the dumed-down sound of todays music already, and it is what it is. Bitching about PTs will not change the fact that it sits firmly atop of the mountain. Is it marketing? it Is business strategy? Is it some technical reason? Thing is, it never matter why it is, just that it is what it is, and PTs is king like it or not. I am not here to proclaim PTs as the best thing since white bread, and I never will. No software platform matters in the end, none of them has their own sound so, what's the big deal here? A loyalty thing? That's ridiculous. I cannot have loyalty to something I cannot place my hands upon. It's software for God's sake. The TRUTH lies within you or it does not at all. If you can make music it should matter what you are given to make it with, you just make it. If I have a $99 ART preamp and thats all I have, I will use it, and I will get a good sound in the end. If I have an NPNG stereo unit, I'll use it. It'll matter very little in the end to whoever is listening to the music. Sure, it matters agreat deal to me but...how many others will care about it like I do? I am not here to sell ProTools. The true issue is getting beyond the software, beyond the gear. The point is THIS IS A LISTENING THING NOT SOMETHING THAT SIMPLY COMES IN A BOX. This requires one thing first, that you train your ears, and there are no shortcuts even though they will most likely have a plugin that claims to do evrything for you soon lol. $hyt dude, hey are still chasing analog sound with plugin simulations, what does this tell you? The intelligent thing to do is to let them all talk while you make music because, not much of the chatter matters. If you are serious about this, leave the PTs war behind you and just make music. If I mix a song in Reaper and I mix the same song again in PTs, chances are both mixes will sound very similar even though I will have used different plugins to make both mixes. Why will it sound similar? How? Because, I made the mix...Simple. It's an Ear thing, not a gear thing, and this goes double when it comes to software, double my dude. The software though powerful is quite insignificant in the end. Getting beyond this insane notion of brand loyalty is such a vital step forward...TAKE IT. All that matters here are your ears my dude. Without your ears, you are lost. The chatter, chatter, chatter is just that, akin to crows squawking in your front yard. Listen to he music within never to the crows.
This is a cool thread. I like talking about mixing because, it truly is an ear thing first and foremost. The chatter is just the sales reps trying to seel their wares. They are little more than carnival barkers, do not listen to them. Listen with your heart first. Hereis where perception lies. Just close your eyes and lose yourself in the sound, forget the hows, and the ways, just listen. Silence all of the nonesensical marketing chatter. You have what you have, so, do what you do.

Here, for me though, is the quote of the thread so far: "I haven't used Reaper, and I doubt its earth-shattering."
I wouldn't suggest, for a minute, that Reaper is "Earth-shattering" and I doubt if anyone else here would either. What Reaper is, though, is a perfectly viable alternative (many, including professionals, would argue a better alternative) to DAWs such as PT or Nuendo* at a fraction of the cost, and with a great deal more responsiveness to its users' demands and needs. That's all.
(*interestingly, while I have seen countless examples of people moving to Reaper from Pro Tools, and a few from Nuendo, I have heard of very few switching from Logic. I think this is at least partly because Logic users have long enjoyed the kinds of routing flexibility and system stability that helps distinguish Reaper from the other two. Also, the new approach to comping introduced in Logic 8 blows all the others, including Reaper, out of the water in this department. If I had an unlimited budget, I reckon I'd probably be using Logic).
Posted 29 September 2011 - 01:12 PM
Also agree with the "you could use any of them and come up with something equally good" argument.
Regarding PT, I think it would be helpful if more distinction was drawn between PTHD and .. for example .. PTLE.

I was just answering why Digidesign can gouge prices for their hardware. Though I think that's somewhat over now that (I believe?) Pro Tools 9 isn't handcuffed to Digidesign hardware. Though I do believe Pro Tools HD still requires it and thus, they can still charge whatever they want.
The myth I'm talking about you perpetuating is that people need to use Pro Tools if they are serious. There's lots of home recordists that are serious, who put lots of money into their studio design and equipment, who don't use Pro Tools. You won't hear a difference in their mixes if they had used PT instead of Cakewalk or Logic or Reaper. Though if people are spending serious money on setting up a commercial studio they'd probably invest in a Pro Tools rig simply because that's what's expected by their customers.
I've never been in a studio in L.A. or NYC. I've been in one in Toronto but to be honest, can't remember what software they used. I was a young dude way too impressed with the guy talking about the vintage console he had saved from another studio going out of business. And the tattooed lesbian explaining how she was mic'ing up my drums.
I had a funny argument on JPF recently with somebody who was convinced that you needed Pro Tools or Logic to get a "pro" sound. I repeatedly asked him to explain how Pro Tools recorded sound differently than Reaper (for argument's sake, since I use it) and he would never answer. He just said "You get what you pay for" over and over...myth revealed.

How did it sound different? The differences in how one DAW is programmed to render audio versus another don't create audible differences. All things equal. I'd have to say you were hearing something you wanted to hear, but wasn't actually there. On a minute, minuscule scale there are differences, but as a human, you simply wouldn't be able to hear it.

I'd need to know more about what you mean by "bouncing" the same file before I could really comment. Just exactly what kinds of processing took place, and what steps were taken to ensure that both programs were being asked to do exactly the same thing? Even such a small thing as a difference in pan law applied to the master bus can alter the end result in tests such as these.
To me, the ultimate test in such a scenario would be to line the two results up , put one of them out of phase to the other, and then play them back at a high level. If the result is complete silence, there is no difference between the two. If something is heard audibly, there is probably reason to start asking why. Anything else is purely subjective.
Posted 03 October 2011 - 04:17 AM
Once you have ensured that any two DAWs are operating the same way, the result should always be identical and will null - or one is broken. I've yet to come across any that aren't identical in terms of output.

I will second Alstair. I have yet to hear one DAW which has a "sound" of its own. This is the one thing I really like about digital recording. You get what you put in, and nothing more. Want color? You have to add the color at source, the machine in't going to add anything for you. This is any DAW. You can change instruments, change mics, change mic amps, any processing that is in the signal path but, the DAW isn't going to give you anything special in terms of tonality. When you want color you have to cut the color or wait and use an plug later. Me, I'm not much good at waiting, In effect I mix as I crecord. By the time I sit down to mix, quite a lot of the mixing has already taken place. I'll have done quite a lot of the work as I go. It doesn't matter what platform I work on, it will sound like me in the end, not like the program.
Logic seems to be a wonderful program Simon.
I am not the type of guy who is going to swear by anything I cannot place my hands upon, and this must include software of any brand. For me, it's all a big bowl of the very same soup. The routing is the main difference. It's no different with a large frame mixing console. The thing which truly distinguishes one from another are the routing options. Sure, there is a distinct tonal difference between working on an SSL board or a Neve board. Beyond the sound of the board though is the routing. Signal path is what really matters. You can find any sound that you seek as long as you invest yourself in the seeking. Laying the importance at the feet of a DAW is absolutely ridiculous. The music lives withinn YOU! The difference lies within you. It is delusion to believe that it lives within a computer, a tape deck or anywhere else. Mistake #1 is to believe that any of this stuff is more important than the gift which is already within you.
Protools, Nuendo, Logic, Reaper, Sonor... None of these platforms can do anything do anything unless I ask it to, and this is the truth. The power is within you, it will never live within your computer. Believing otherwise is the beginning of delusion. A digital recording platform is no different than a tape machine, both performs do the same tasks. Tape has its own sound, digital does not. The thing I'll never understand is why, oh WHY, once we choose digital must we chase plugins which emulate the sound of tape? LOL It's akin to wiping out all species of deer and then wondering why you miss the taste of venison. The funny part is, the sound of your music is within you and no machine or software is going to find it if you cannot first find it yourself. I will never be a big fan of software, it's too much like fast food, here today, gone tomorrow. Never attached to anything you cannot touch with your hands because, it is not real. I am not saying anybodys software is "BAD." It's just not that big of a deal. Nothing is more important than the music inside of you and if someone cannot see this first they will never be able to make a decent recording. The science of all of this is not enough to make a great recording, it's just not enough to get the job done. The importance lies with the music not in how it is captured. Once I have captured dinner nobody cares how wonderful my snare was! All that matters is how good the meat tastes. Music is no different. In order to really become immersed within your music you absolutely must come beyond placing so much iportance upon the method of capture. You must forget all that you've learned and just simply be the music's medium so to speak, just let it flow through you, channel it to life. Music has a life force, a spirit, it is every bit as as alive as fire is. Music is like my dog. When I want her to lay down I do not have to speak, I simply press my palm towards the floor and she lies down. Music is also an intuitive process. Never lose sight of this.
Everyone likes to bash Protools. This is just human nature. If you cliimb a mountain and stand on its peak inevitably someone will desire to knock you down. Face facts. Protools was first. and without PTs none of these other DAWs would have had anything to follow.
Tattooed lesbians miking drums huh? Hm...Did she figure out which end of the XLR cables were male and which were female? God help us all man! LOL Big vintage consoles would be more interesting to me. Tattooed lesbians are an everyday visual in southern California lmfao. I'd rather play with an old Neve board myself. At least on one of Ruperts creations, there is no confusion, inputs are for input, and out put means output. Damn dude, that is not a very pretty picture first thing in the morning. LOL Tattoed lesbians miking drums...OMG dude! The tales those microphones could probably tell. That's one way to keep musicians from touching the microphones! Ah!

I presume you're talking about the test of putting the results against each other, out of phase, to see if there is any audio output? Logically, to me, that should be the first test. If there is no audible output, the tracks are identical - end of story. If there is some audible output, the next step is to use a scientific process to identify and limit the variables in order to determine the reasons for that result.
Posted 07 October 2011 - 08:56 PM
Pan laws, in particular, are different. This will effect how the same track sounds (whether you bounce/render it or not). Many start with -3 or -6 (Logic is, I think -3). Reaper, by default, is zero.
To compare, you DO need to check all the settings are the same (not sure if this equals "calibration").

Or you could say it'll do you a disservice by making your songs sound "better" without you knowing how. I'd rather know which default settings are making the file sound more polished. Wouldn't you?
Posted 08 October 2011 - 11:40 AM
Everything else is just preference.
Here are some pan laws:
Left 0 - Middle 0 - Right 0
Left 0 - Middle -3 - Right 0
Left 0 - Middle -4.5 - Right 0
Left 0 - Middle -6 - Right 0
Left +3 - Middle 0 - Right +3
Then add in the variation that each may have sinusoidal tapers, etc .. oh, and there is mono vs stereo panning - and what do you get?
Which is "best"? I'd say that's impossible to answer. However, it's best to have the choice!

Second, load a stereo track in Sonar and play it. Now change the pan law (let's make it mono, -6 centre) and play it again. You will hear a difference. Try different pan laws and experiment. THIS is why it is important to match them.
Get them matched and I'll bet that the outputs from both Logic and Reaper will null (assuming other stuff like sample rate is all the same on your soundcard and in the file).

Not too surprising. Imagine taking your mix and putting a stereo field plug on it and then pushing the centre up by 3db (or reducing the sides by 3db) and it will upset the mix.
In Reaper, most people choose how they want panning (pan law and pan mode) to be and then set that as the default (and, like Logic, it can change from the default on each track - after all, you will want different pan modes for stereo and mono tracks).
As it happens, I default to -3db compensated too - so we should be fine!

A trick question! There is no Nobel prize in mathematics. Why not? That question has created numerous stories, myths, and anecdotes. The most popular is that Nobel's wife had an affair with a mathematician, usually said to be Mittag-Leffler, and in revenge Nobel refused to endow one of his prizes in mathematics. Too bad for this story that Nobel was a life-long bachelor! The other common story is that Mittag-Leffler, the leading Swedish mathematician of Nobel's time, antagonized Nobel and so Nobel gave no prize in mathematics to prevent Mittag-Leffler from becoming a winner. This story is also suspect, however, because Nobel and Mittag-Leffler had almost no contact with each other. Most likely Nobel simply never gave any thought to including mathematics among his list of prize areas.
The Fields Medal is considered to be the equivalent of the Nobel prize for mathematics. John Charles Fields (1863-1932), a Canadian mathematician, endowed funds in his will for an award for mathematical achievement and promise that would emphasize the international character of the mathematical endeavor. The first Fields Medal was awarded at the International Congress of Mathematics meeting in Oslo in 1936. Since 1950 the medal has been awarded every four years at the International Mathematical Congress to between 2 and 4 mathematicians. Although there is no specific age restriction in Fields' will, he did wish that the awards recognize both existing work and the promise of future achievement, so the medals have been restricted to mathematicians under the age of 40.
Women who have won a Fields Medal are:

The Ruth Lyttle Satter Prize in Mathematics was established in 1990 using funds donated to the American Mathematical Society by Joan S. Birman of Columbia University in memory of her sister, Ruth Lyttle Satter. Professor Satter earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics and then joined the research staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories during World War II. After raising a family, she received a Ph.D. in botany at the age of forty-three from the University of Connecticut at Storrs, where she later became a faculty member. Her research on the biological clocks in plants earned her recognition in the U.S. and abroad. Professor Birman requested that the prize be established to honor her sister's commitment to research and to encouraging women in science. The prize is awarded every two years to recognize an outstanding contribution to mathematics research by a woman in the previous five years. The winners have been:

text: Hello all, I'm new here so excuse me if I ramble. It has been an exhausting week. My baby was born 10 days ago and we have been struggling to get a good latch since he's always so hungry and frantic. He's a big boy born by c-section who was losing weight so we had to supplement him with both pumped breast milk and formula. While pumping this weekend I noticed that stringy, sometimes clumpy gelatinous stuff was being pumped out and clogging the bottle nipples. I'm wondering if this is a sign of a clogged duct. I did warm compresses for two days and it has since resolved but I would like to avoid that again if possible. I didn't have any lumps or painful areas that I could tell-- I've been sore all along so I guess I may have not noticed? I'm open to any replies/suggestions/ideas. The lactation consultant says he has good latch and I have good insinct on what to do but I can't get him to calm himself enough to latch at feedings. He roots all up my arm, into my neck. He's a strong boy! I don't want him to associate being near me with negative things. I basically end up crying from frustration because I don't understand how something that can come so naturally for some is so difficult for me. I guess I always thought this was instinctual between a mother and a baby. So thanks again for reading, and even moreso for replying.

In Workington, (late 60's early 70's) I played union for the school (all we were allowed to play as PE teacher played for Netherhall ru,) union on Saturday afternoon for Workington Zebras and league on Sundays for Workington Boys club. When I was 16 I was taken to one side by the union coach (ooh er missus) and told that I had to decide which code I wanted to play as once I reached 17, if I continued to play league, I would be 'banned for life' from playing union. This was the norm then.
It was a bit more than promotion of RU actually, our head of PE would tell the pupils that they had to play for the school i.e. RU ahead of the local RL club and if the did not they would be banned from playing league, quoting some regulation that I don't remember anymore. I know ir's all lies now but at 11/12 its difficult tp believe a senior teacher would so blatently lie. Thankfully the RL club coach would always reassure that it didn't matter what anyone said he would still pick us if we wanted to play
As for league in schools, down here at St Albans we had a very, very keen RL development coach. At one point he had senior schools in Potters Bar, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and St Albans all playing against each other in various age groups. Schools were contacting him to come along and teach their pupils. Then junior schools began getting in touch and asking for training and games. We could have done with three development officers. Unfortunately local union clubs didn't like this and they began offering their services at schools as well (well, rugby is rugby to someone not in the know). Now our development officer has retrurned to Aus in August last year, and we are waiting to see if we will be getting another one with all the cut backs etc. In the mean time, there is very little league now in senior schools after all the good ground work already done. The Dev Oficer from Hemel helped out after ours left but I believe covering both areas was just too much.
The good news is that we have a minis set up that is doing sterling work with junior schools children at the moment (all volunteers).

First of all, Hi I'm new to the boards
On Sept. 30th I gave birth to my first child, a baby boy. He was born at 32 weeks, 4lbs 6 and had an almost 4 week stay in the NICU with very few complications (which we're so thankful for). He's now 5 weeks old (actual age) and 5lbs. We're now all together at home but I'm having some real breastfeeding issues with him.
I started pumping when I was in the hospital, I've never had a problem with my supply (approx 3 ounces every 3 hours, which I understand is normal) and I continued pumping throughout his stay. When he was in the hospital the doctor and nurses assured me that he needed to use a bottle so that he could learn his suck, swallow, breathe motions. They had to measure how much he was eating, so I wasn't allowed to breastfeed him. Being a first time mother and not really knowing a great deal about breastfeeding I thought this would be okay.
I was allowed to breastfeed him for the first time 3 days before he left the hospital. It seemed to go well, he fed for 20 minutes on one side, 10 on the other and then finished off with 30ml in a bottle. I breastfed him a further 4 times before we left the hospital. Each of these times was with a nipple shield because I was told that my nipples were too small.
Since we have been home he will not breastfeed. I tried it with the nipple shield but he just didn't like it and kept knocking it off. I gave up with that and tried without. Turns out my nipples aren't too small after all and he fed well the first time. Since then I have tried to gradually increase his breastfeeding sessions in an attempt to get him off of the bottle. Now he just cries whenever I put him to the breast, he kicks me and squirms and refuses to stay latched for more than a few seconds.
I get upset, sometimes cry, and just give up and give him the bottle. He gulps it down as if he's not eaten for a week. He's been gaining weight on the bottle and I am scared that if I keep trying to push the breast onto him that he will start to lose weight because he's not getting enough.
I've considered just pumping for him and giving him EBM in a bottle at every feed, but I have to give back my rented pump this week and I can't afford to buy an electric one myself (I have a manual pump though). I don't want to give him formula.
I am just really upset because I was really looking forward to breastfeeding him and now I just dread his reaction every time I try.
I don't want to give up but I don't know what to do.

Ambassador Matthew Gould marked his first Purim in the job by hosting a party marking less than 500 days until the start of the 2012 London Olympics.
Mr Gould came dressed as Israeli footballer Yossi Benayoun in honour of the theme, while his pregant wife Celia opted for an Olympic gold medal costume.
Among the 250 guests were Knesset members Yoel Hasson and Zvi Hauser. Others were unidentifiable in outfits ranging from the Gods of Olympus to Hugh Hefner and Colonel Gaddafi.

text: Yeah, unless you need EBM for a specific reason, put down the pump as much as you can. I know how hard it is when you are in serious pain from boobs that make milk for an army. I used to just express when I was leaking EVERYWHERE and DD was still sleeping. And even then I would just pump enough to take the edge off. It feels good to relieve the engorgement, but totally emptying gives your body the signal to produce, produce, produce.

But, I think there are some free/cost-effective opportunities that would give the biggest boost to the forum, overall.
The biggest thing is what Rady has built the forum upon, and what the backend here looks like. Depending on what solution he initially used, there might be some free (or almost free) plug-ins and expansions that could be useful out of box....or help fulfill a larger task, and save the bulk of time/money.
My :
Have some regular KOL beat writers would be the illest. It would also help grow and really brand the KOL signature stroke: which is to say, the uniqueness of personalities within this community.
The same way Grantland owned and dominated a huge niche of sports writing bc the people behind the ideas had a unique style to the masses....so too does KOL possess this intrinsic distinction to other forums (and intrinsic opportunity).
There are half a dozen prime people I could rattle off top of my head for this.....
How are they "compensated"? It'll obviously be primarily about pride and sense of respect and accomplishment (plus performing work and achieving potential status that could be parlayed into future opportunities...).
But I also think these people could be given special avatars, as well as extra notoriety (their picture? name, etc) in the section where the writing would be getting stored and made public to people.
And on that note, the 2nd big thing I would personally prioritize....which would cost a little money and a lil time....a new design and implementation of this news/blogging/writing area.
Make it simple, intuitive (easy to find articles, and see past articles by given writers, eg), and also some basic features to foster community (users can leave comments on the articles and generate discussion...can neg or +1 opinion pieces, eg).
Rady obviously already has used and built off of a successful forum solution, so I have to imagine the leap to adding such features would be (relatively easy).
I have lots of connections in web design and programming (all located in Central Europe, so extremely competitive pricing too....not to mention many are close friends of mine). And also lots of experience in this area myself.
I'd be happy to offer any helping hands I can; even if it just helping out in brainstorming solutions and doing research into things (which may well yield results were many desirable thing could be accomplished for free, or almost free).
edit -- one more note on the writers and how you get them to write.....personally, whenever I've took the time to create a big post and articulate a particular point of view, I'd have no problem (and might even prefer) if it were just as well made into a legit article/piece of writing. I'm sure many other posters, especially ones who take time to create well-thought out and constructed argumentations, feel the same.

Diablo Grande â The Ranch Course
Patterson, California
July 4, 2004
PATTERSON, Calif.â The fireworks started early this fourth of July after Paul Hanzal and Estanislao Guerrero shot 2-under-par 70s and earned the Boys Division medalist honors at the True Temper Junior Open Qualifier. Grace Woo took the Girls Division medalist honors with a score of 1-over-par 73.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the True Temper Junior Open Qualifier was held at the Ranch Course at Diablo Grande and featured 79 players from three states, Mexico, Australia, and included 73 California natives. Twenty boys and three girls gained entry into the tournament, which will begin Tuesday.
Hanzal, 17, of Jamul, said that he was happy to have achieved his goal of breaking par. He got off to a solid start by making birdie on the first three holes.
âMy putting on the first three holes really helped me to start playing well,â Hanzal said. âAs long as my putting is working, my scores will be low. My birdies on the first three holes really gave me confidence for the rest of the round.â
Also medaling in the Boys Division was Guerrero, 18, of San Diego. Guererro became three for three in qualifier events after gaining entry into the True Temper Junior Open. He got off to a fast start with a 15-foot birdie on No. 1.
âIâm really excited about being one of the medalists,â he said. âI played really well today. I hit a lot of fairways and I didnât miss any short putts.â
Also qualifying for the Boys Division were Hyun Seok Lim of Fullerton, Calif., Tim Silverman of Santa Ana, Calif., Peter Nascimento of Port Kembla, Australia, Patrick Tom of Norwalk, Calif., David Zeuske, Jr.,of Coto de Caza, Calif., John Wenger of Elk Grove, Calif., Peter Singh of Hollister, Calif., Jake Bieber of Alamo, Calif., Brandin Cohen of Manhattan Beach, Calif., Andrey Mindirgasov of Pacific Grove, Calif., Mathew Tom of Norwalk, Calif., Ryan Hoskins of Scottsdale, Ariz., Andrew Grosshans of Pasadena, Calif., Bryan Pierce of Arroyo Grande, Calif., Nicholas Delio of Valencia, Calif., Tim Lo of Los Angeles, Alex Gerstel of Agoura Hills, Calif., and William Schramm of Alamo, Calif.
Woo, 16, of Burbank, Calif., said that sheâs excited about taking home the qualifier medalist honors, but sheâs thinking more about preparing for this weekâs tournament.
âI think todayâs round will help me get ready for the tournament,â Woo said. âToday I realized that I need to be hitting short irons. They give me a lot more chances for birdie. If I can hit my driver straight I can short-club it to the green. There are some long rough, but as long as I get it on the fairway Iâll be fine.â
Woo said she expects to play well in the tournament.
Also qualifying in the Girls Division were Jennifer Bermingham of Long Beach, Calif., and Henna Cho of Buena Park, Calif.

As a founding member and player for the original Crown City Rugby Club, I helped Kei Takarabe coach the original Eleanor Rugby Club (a take-off on the 'Eleanor Rigby' song of the day by the Beatles). It was truly an memorable endeavour (especially the tournaments). My 30-something sister played prop, and my 18 year-old girlfriend played scrumhalf. The beginnings of the women's team: The Crown City men's team attended the Aspen Rugby Tournament, where one of the players' wives, Jeannie Salisbury, got in a barroom conversation with a local Aspen rugger's wife. They decided that women needed to be represented in the next tournament, so they pledged to start women's teams in their respective locales, and play each other the next year, and in 1973, the Eleanor Rugby Club played the Aspen Scarlet Harlots in Aspen, CO.
