Hi all. Is that a new jacket? It looks lovely. I've recently built myself a HTPC and have 4 pretty decent Mission passive speakers laying around. The manual recommends between 25-75w per channel. I'll be looking at filling in the "Centre" channel at a later point so can make do with a...

Hi guys. I'm somewhat baffled and annoyed at the minute... The network connection between the two is absolutely shit. I'm running from wired ethernet (was an auto, I've since tried 100 Full Duplex), to my router and from my router via wireless "N" speed to my Xbox. When I open up the Network...

Hi guys... So I've offered to try and fix a friend's guitar and I think I have the fault narrowed down... It sounds like or even is a dodgy earth connection. I don't believe the barrel jack's connections to be faulty since wiggling the jack around a bit doesn't produce the problem. I've...

You definitely want to look for a card that uses the Texas Instruments chipset and not VIA. If it's a PCMCIA then I can recommend the Trust FireWire 400 DV Cardbus Kit. It worked flawlessly for me on my old laptop. The chances are though if it's even a remotely modern laptop then it will have...

It really depends what you're doing! That's a healthy spec system, it should be able to handle a lot so unless you're running convolution reverbs and tonnes of VSTs on low buffers alongside 100 tracks of high quality audio with effects, I'd say there's a fault in your setup or rather there's...

I gave my old IBM ThinkPad T42 a damn good thrashing a while ago when it decided to take a few minutes just to open up FireFox... I punched the screen hard in the face with enough force to send the laptop flying off my lap. My hats off to the people that made the LCD screen, it didn't do the...

This is my point exactly though... Yes, he did do a great job in the past, so why isn't he now...? Perhaps his music theory is severely lacking or perhaps he just doesn't give a shit any more, hence he should be mocked and bashed in my opinion! To be fair though, maybe he's been hanging around...

When Kirk plays the intro to Nothing Else Matters, he NEVER plays it right. It annoys the hell out of me. He does this out of time slide instead of a fast hammer on/pull-off just before it goes to A in the bass... Other than that, I lost all respect for the man when I realised he really does...

Hi. Yeah I'm using the 1.80 driver on Win 7. I did a lot of research in the past on compatibility with certain chipsets and FireWire devices after seeing disastrous consequences on a mate's top spec PC (at the time) that just didn't like handling audio at all. I built the system for him...

Thanks for all the info guys, iTunes it is since it's tried and tested :) I've already downloaded it and it requires me to sign in to try downloading album art or edit anything... Okay fair enough... Second page... Payment options...? Where's the option to skip that for now? Jesus fucking...

When it comes to coming up with crazy original rhythms, I sometimes use spoken phrases in my head. It sounds kinda mental but you can get some truly mind blowing results when you sit down and figure out how to split it in to time signatures, for example... The words Chicken Tikka. If you take...

So will iTunes then embed it so I can send my album to a friend and he'll automatically have the album art on his computer too? That's my goal here, when I release the album, I want my artwork to show on their computers too. Thanks.

I shudder at the thought of programming in my drums like that! MIDI controller keyboard and SSD for the rough rhythmic outline and then in to the MIDI editor for tweaks and fills ;p However in relation to the thread, using Guitar Pro or other notation software is a great tool for me, to aid...

I did stumble across that programme, although it appears to use databases which I wont be on, I need to be able to save the image in to the .mp3 files if that's possible?

Hi. So I've been Googling this for some time now and haven't really gotten anywhere... I want to embed my own personal artwork for my album in to my songs. The results that come back are always related to already established bands, so obviously I'm not going to be in any databases so I...
