No, that's when your DAW is getting old.


But my _old_ DAW works fine. It's the _new_ DAW that's easily confused.

You're getting old when you
can't remember why you went to the shop to get the oscillator.


It's okay. You can't find it anyway.

Funny, the meter's at -20dbFS....



Must be someone trying to set a level at 25,000hz - you know, that "extended"
high end everyone is raving about that was brought forth by 24/96.

When you ask the singer to do another pass, 'cause the last one was a

(Jay Kadis)
I had the Ivie realtime analyzer home last week to measure how loud my wife

sings (110 dB SPL peak, unweighted!) and the TV ('90s Sony) still puts out the
15.75 kHz signal loud and clear, at least that's what the display says. I
didn't hear it.

Maybe it's not even the TV, maybe it's the signal coming off one of those
digital audio mixers or from router. (The Calrec Sigma at work has a couple
of cards in it that intermittently start spitting out 15Khz. Out the monitor
outputs only apparently, supposedly moved to a "non-critical path", but who
knows really... Drives me nuts. )

Back in the old days one had to buy ones harddisks in kinda a stringy
form and roll ones one. My father actually had a Bang & Olufsen device
that could do that. Later they made them of flat string, at the peak of
the technology some manufacturers even tried selling adhesive tape for
the purpose and it makes excellent flat disks if you leave it in the
"tape vault" for long enough, it was marketed as the best thing to use
if it was worth recording. Somehow that statement really sticks to mind.
This concept of sticks later brought on the development of memory
sticks.

Understanding storage technology is not difficult, it is an ongoing
process whereby larger and large amounts of information can be lost by
smaller and smaller mishaps.


Kind regards

But my crystal radio would only get one station. There was an AM broadcast
tower across the valley from my house, and it's signal came in so strong
that
it's all I could receive no matter how much I adjusted the tuning condenser.

You know you're getting old when the radio station that you once
received with your crystal set comes in loud and clear on your tooth
fillings.

Thankfully the quality of backup is now so high it is identical to the
original, and the cost of backup keeps getting lower and lower.
It is now possible to keep a large number of backup digital multitrack
recordings, for the cost of one Reel of analog tape.

I wish I had a dollar for every master tape that has been lost/destroyed or
gone missing over the years :-)

Default Way, wayOT; Subliminal Spam?

Hey all-

I know this is way off topic, but there is such a wealth of knowlege here
that I figured I would ask this question anyway.
Tonight, I checked my e-mail, and found a SPAM message in my inbox. I'm in
the habit that if I don't know who the SPAM is from, and can't tell from the
subject line what they are hawking, I'll glance at the contents to see what
"brand" of SPAM it was. Now, not being entirely trusting, I usually glance
at the source code for the messages instead of just openining it in Outlook
Express, on the off chance that it is a virus or something. Well, I glanced
at this particular one, and noticed it was in HTML, and didn't have the
"signature" of a virus, but my eye was caught by something in the message.
It seems that there is a "message" hidden within the HTML code, that if
loaded into a browser the browser would just ignore, as it isn't valid HTML
Just for the heck of it, I copy-pasted the code into Word, and separated out
the "message", just to see what it had to say. It doesn't quite make sense,
or at least not in complete sentences. I will paste the code in here,
stripped of the HTML header, so that you can see it as I rec'd it, and
follow that with the "message". I still haven't actually "opened" the
e-mail, or even looked at the code in a browser, but it would appear that if
I did, it would look like an average "prescription" SPAM, which amongst the
code tries to get me to go to www dot medsquickusa dot biz
(I purposely altered that so it won't be an actual link for anybody, but
they could reconstruct it should they desire to.) Now this brings up an
interesting question- is "biz" a valid domain suffix? Or is the entire
address fictitious, just so they could send out this hidden "message"?

Here's the original HTML-

about a "hijacking screensaver".

Spammers are mangling their messages with encoding and nonstandard html in
hopes of getting past spam filters.

I guess the theory is that if they can trick me into clicking on their
message, I'll suddenly feel like my penis is actually too small.

The added words are there to try to throw off anti-spam bots and

a new one), as is 'tv' and others.

Given that my email rdr is TEXT-ONLY, these spams appear as gibberish

.biz is one of several "new" ones that came available a few years
ago. It's so spammish that I think only spammers even use it. I forget
what all's available, but here's an example of another:
