I dont use it that much myself, the 24 days trial only seems to go on how
many times it's used, not how many days from when the first program is run.
I've had my copy for at least 6 months and I've still got 12 days left.
However, you can also run the install program again and start from scratch.

Phil.

Subject: (orbital) A Word Of Thanks

Hey guys !!! :-)

How have you all been ?

Well, I've had a somewhat good week, although it got off to a REALLY shitty
start. So I apologize for the following bitching and moaning. ;-P

You see, I missed the Coachella Festival (out in California) last weekend.
Almost everyone who I've ever wanted to see live before was there, and two
of my friends who were supposed to go and give me ride both couldn't make it
!!!! ;-0

ART OF NOISE was also there; it has been a long-time dream of mine to see
them perform their magic up on stage. These latest gigs (a short, one-week
jaunt across the US) have basically served as their second  tour ever (the
first being in 1986). So you can only imagine how furiously enraged I was to
miss out on this ! It was basically the last big event of the year that I
could have participated in. Since I'm leaving for the military next month,
I'm going to be missing Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's.

FUCK, FUCK, FUCK !!!!!

Anyways, I don't want to ramble on about shit all throughout this mail, so
I'll try to tie all of this together really quick.

Well, since I didn't have shit else to do last weekend, I started work on
some songs. And I'm happy to say that I have finished two tracks already. In
fact, I was just doing some mastering before writing this mail.

So I just wanted to say a GREAT BIG THANKS to everyone who pitched in their
two cents (or insert your other currency here ;-) and advice regarding all
of the questions regarding digital recording and computers.

For now, I've decided to save up for an Apple G4; although I've somewhat
managed somehow by the grace of God to tolerate PC's and Windows, I still
don't want to deal with any crap that may crop up in the future.

So now, I actually have another batch of questions to ask regarding
computers and recording. Here we go :

1) HARD DRIVES : Okay, I know everyone says to buy a SCSI, but wouldn't it
actually be faster and easier to buy a USB or Fire Wire drive ? And do you
really need to have two ? I mean, everyone says that it's easier to have two
so your audio won't be bogged down by your other apps, but is it totally
necessary ?

2) VIRTUAL PC SOFTWARE : I thought about buying this type of software in
order to run all of my good ol' Windows warez on my new G4. But is it really
effective ? Does anyone know how it runs ?

3) 16 or 24 BIT AUDIO : Does it really fucking matter ?

4) CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO 8 AND LOGIC PLATINUM 4.0 : If anyone has these
programs, can someone tell me how you import wave files into your tracks ?

Well, that's all that I can think of right now. I might work on a web site
to host my songs on, but I'm a bit weary about this since the songs aren't
copyrighted. So who knows. Anyways, sorry for the length of this mail, but I
needed a good place to vent. ;-P

So thanks for reading and God Bless you all.

Sincerely,

Josh ("NoiseWerker" ; "Juno")

really need to have two ? I mean, everyone says that it's easier to have two

Ian >>> Running two hardrives in a RAID_0 configuration increases drive
throughput greatly.  While many SCSI controllers boast a throughput of
40+MB/Second, the best of drives can only do a sustained read of 10MB/Sec
and write at half that.  SCSI allows you to write to multiple devices at the
same time.. something IDE can't do... so a RAID_0 configuration will allow
you to read/write to multiple hardisks at the same time, doubling your
read/write speed.  This is very crucial for audio/video applications... and
very cheap in my opinion.  If you're going to be editing large waveforms on
your computer, RAID_0 and 512M RAM is recommended.

2) VIRTUAL PC SOFTWARE : I thought about buying this type of software in
order to run all of my good ol' Windows warez on my new G4. But is it really
effective ? Does anyone know how it runs ?

Ian >>> Works great for some apps.. terrible for others.  Don't expect it to
do MIDI.. Audio sucks in general.  I think the software emulates a crystal
based sound card.  Networking works pretty well... Video performance is
so-so.

3) 16 or 24 BIT AUDIO : Does it really fucking matter ?

Ian >>> *YES*.  Recording then mixing/editing/etc your audio in 24 bit and
then down sampling to 16 bit to master your tracks results in better quality
tracks.  It takes a well trained ear to hear the difference, but I guarantee
it's there.

*** Side note *** has anyone on this list used the Wave/8-24
http://www.gadgetlabs.com ?  What do you think?  I've heard a lot of good
things about this card.  I like the rack mount patch box too.

4) CAKEWALK PRO AUDIO 8 AND LOGIC PLATINUM 4.0 : If anyone has these
programs, can someone tell me how you import wave files into your tracks ?

Ian >>> I use Cubase VST24.  Sorry.

Subject: (orbital) Orbital Bootleg Artwork

Hello

Since I have been getting quite a few requests for pervious bootleg artwork I
have done, I have hosted the files on my website.  I currently have up
high-resolution artwork for the following shows: Chicago 99 "Digital
Ecstasy," Austin 99, Birmingham '93 (1CD version).  Each packet includes
Cover, Insert, Back, and CD labels.

If anyone is interested, the address is
http://www.execpc.com/~row117/fallenangel.htm.

Any requests, feel free to e-mail me.
