You can find this point by getting a sine wave (like these http://www.rme-audio.com/english/download/audtest.htm) and putting the sine wave on each track all in phase. This way the peaks of all tracks are at the same point. So you have all these tracks at 0db and you find that they will often clip the master bus if you have more than 1 at 0db and so you have to pull the fader back on each track to avoid clipping. You will find that for 8 tracks you may have to be down 20 db to not clip on the master bus. Real music doesn't have all channels at the peak 0dB at the same time so it's a more extreme test but using this you can find where your master clips. In cubase if you do 32 bit float projects there is so much headroom you can clip the crap out of the input to the master (light design to go on at 0db) and it will still not clip the signal. Every DAW is different. In Paris 0db has some headroom so you can go above that my a few db and not get a nasty clip. In cubase you can monitor the master fader pre fader or post fader. If you monitor prefader you will see the clip light at 0dB even though it doesn't clip the signal and you have tons of headroom. If you render/bounce this "clipped" signal to disk though it WILL be clipped. The trick in cubase (and I think it's awesome) is you monitor the Master POST fader and simply pull down the fader so it's not clipping, render/bounce and you're done. You can have cubase clipping the crap out of the master fader Pre fader and it's no problem and you don't have to pull your faders back down because of the 32 bit headroom. Most people DON'T understand this point about Cubase. In Paris you have a nice feature where it will warm any clipping but you have a limited headroom so you need to make sure not to clip on your faders as a rule.

I'm surprised that you're not confident about getting a signature tone out of an amp modeler, Don. Once you go beyond preset patches named after rock stars (I don't use the presets), they offer a really big playground. The good ones are extremely tweakable. You can choose from a variety of amp models and FX combinations with wide ranging control over multiple parameters. The GNX4 even lets you warp different amp models together to create unique "offspring" amp models. The tonal range available is huge. Of course a big part of the tone is from your fingers and instincts, what you bring to any setup. For example, when I played through my buddy's expanded PODXT Live using a decent sounding (to my ears) amp model, I still sounded like me. When he played through the exact same setup, he sounded like himself. IOW we didn't sound alike. I sometimes use the amp modeling in Logic Pro when recording, and have been exploring NI's Guitar Rig 2. I've gotten good results from both, and it's cool to be able to entirely change the amp model after recording. (OTOH There are times when you want to record with a sound you know is what you want and not give a non-guitar playing engineer license to screw it up. At a studio session a while back the engineer tried to get me to use a plugin amp emulator on Protools so he could re-amp it later, but his example models really sucked, as apparently did his instincts about guitar tone, so I declined. I went direct from the Digitech and got exactly what I was going for. Happy me, happy client, crisis averted.) I've also gotten crappy sounds out of all these modelers, so it pays to spend the time necessary to learn how to set them up to your taste. And it's a good idea to monitor through PA systems or studio monitors rather than guitar amps. There are some modelers I've tried where I couldn't get what I consider to be great sounds - Yamaha, Roland, Korg and versions of the POD from a few years back. They may have improved by now (the PODXT Live seems much better than the old POD, for example). Cheers, -Jamie www.JamieKrutz.com DC wrote: > I have a Digitech I like.

It also does help if you don't rely on the presets... DChey, Parisians- It occurs to me that after having my website up for nearly 10 years on a local server I should bite the bullet and get my own domain. Exploring this option has opened my eyes to what exists in the cyberworld in the way of web hosting companies that offer your domain and apparently a zillion other features, most of which I've never heard of. I know nothing of Pearl scripts or CGI (other than what they are), but I do HTML well enough to have thrown my own site together over the years. The servcices I've been looking at mention everything in the world except HTML... So, the question is, what are you guys (and gals) using? How satisfied are you with the service and features? How much is it costing? Is your site strictly personal, or business, or both, or what? Are you using an ISP, or a server in your closet? thanks for your time and experience -steveDC wrote: > One more thing.

As far as I know the machine has NEVER EVER crashed due to software. The hardware has had some minor issues over the years. It runs cgi and pearl if you wish, and html. I'm 99.8% sure every web server ever runs html, therefor they just don't mention it. I have had very few hassles with running my own server. If you have broadband and a static IP already it's fairly economical. Basically just the electricity, and you have complete control. Of course if you don't know any LINUX you may have trouble. I'm not sure that they make APACHE for Windows... though they may these days. It's not hard to do a Linux install these days however, and you pretty much don't need to know anything other than a couple of text files and commands in order to do simple web stuff. It has a gui and is all pretty easy. Depends if you can be bothered messing about. Cheers, Kim.

My experiences are as follows: Dreamhost.com- hasn't been a dream Dotster.com- A flurry of outages about a month ago, but has gotten solid again. Webintellects.com-Been using for three years with about an outage a year. Have a couple storefronts hosted. In the closet (at a customer site)- Never has gone down. If your ISP can assign you an IP or you want to try DDNS, my guess is you're not experiencing throughput like google anyway so you could do it.

It's been a really hard/stressful week and I haven't had nearly enough sleep. The guy was driving down the highway (70MHP speed limit) going about 40 and I passed him on the shoulder to get around him because he wouldn't move over. When he saw that I was going to be passing him he floored his car to try to keep me from passing. When this didn't work he got pissed and ran right up on my bumper and started honkin his horn. I just pulled over and I musta' looked like some insane maniac when I jumped out of the car and started walking back to his car because he rolled up the window 3/4 of the way and started whining and bitchin' about how what I had done was illegal. I told him that if he had a problem with my driving to call the damn cops (I didn't say "fuckin" cops because he had a couple of kids in the car whose eyes were as big around as saucers) and that he'd better stay off my ass. We didn't part as friends. I was so mad I was literally shaking when I drove away. I need to get more sleep. I'm wayyyy too old to be losin' my temper and swellin up like an old toady frog. I'm old and not a big, badass by an stretch and the guy probably could have whupped my ass on any given day. I'm going over to the hot springs across the street, soak up some lithium and go to bed.

ce they're obviously not in a hurry. I'm convinced that getting behind the wheel of a vehicle automatically drops a human being's IQ by about 20 points. But my biggest pet peeve is tailgaters, and I've done all kinds of mean things to them. My favorite trick was one I used back when I drove for the local wheelchair lift bus door-to-door service. My bus was a really old 3-speed Mercedes, held about 20. I never drove slow, but there was always some idiot that would tailgate me. I would just slow down to about 15-20 for a few seconds, then put it in 3rd gear and floor the accelerator. This would result in the tailgater being buried in a thick, smelly black cloud of diesel fumes. Now that was fun. My passengers always enjoyed that one, too.
