At a time when effective, innovative leadership is desperately needed to cope with matters of war and peace, terrorism and domestic security, the economic imperatives of globalization and the rising competition for oil, the United States is being led by a man who seems oblivious to the reality of his awesome responsibilities. Like a boy being prepped for a second crack at a failed exam, Mr. Bush has been meeting with his handlers to see what steps can be taken to minimize the political fallout from this latest demonstration of his ineptitude. But this is not about politics. It's about competence. And when the president is so obviously clueless about matters so obviously important, it means that the rest of us, like the people left stranded in New Orleans, are in deep, deep trouble.My buddy Swen just fromatted hos audio drives (Win XP) NTFS. Is this okay? We always used FAT32 till now, but he had trouble doing that this time, so... Also, what's the best name in drives these days? JimmyThere should be no problem,

One of the *issues* with this is that files are being processed at 32 bit in SX and then lightpiped over the 20 bit feed to Paris. I have done some critical listening on this and I discovered that cumulative quantization errors when streaming many tracks while truncating from 32 bit float through a 20 bit digital feed was creating some harshness in the 1-2kHz frequency range. To solve this, I found a very flexible dither algo and have instantiated it on every channel of my Cubase mix template. Now each track is being dithered as it is passed from SX to Paris. I'm mixing a small project that I tracked yesterday. What I'm hearing at the end of the songs as they fade sounds just like tape hiss. I used mostly class A, solid state preamps on this project and even my tube gear is dead quiet........so I'm almost positive this is cumulative dither noise. Fading the tracks takes care of it and the final stage of the process is yet another dither. Rather than thinking it unpleasant, I'm actually liking the sound of this, though it certainly isn't digital purity by any stretch. I ned to paly around with this some more though. This is a small project........15 tracks tops. I don't know how this would sound in a project with 40 + tracks. Might be a problem. Hmmmm.......Hmmmm...........don't know the answer to that one.

ts overseas and there had been no effective strategy to deal with it because............ 3. We had no effective intelligence service to protect us from this. 4. We had no national energy policy and domestic production had been cut way back so that we were at the total mercy of OPEC. 5. There had been no real effort on the part of the previous administration to apply *real* pressure to Sadaam or the UN to force him to abide by the sanctions that were but in place in 1991 so we were still technically at war with Iraq. 6. 911 Seems he inherited a pretty full plate. I'm no Bush lover, contrary to what some might think here. I worked with Ann Richards campaign in the 1980's along with many others and eventually thwarted his bid for governor of Texas.

jects are in the 40-80 track range. That's why I wonderd about setting cubase to do processing at a lower bit rate rate to avoid quantization noise. I'm still at SX 1.06....haven't made the jump to sx 3 yet, so I'm not sure what it can do. I only use cubase for sequencing and vsti's so far.

Nappy, I remember being a college kid and having to rent small houses and apartments. The landlord can throw your butt out at any time for any reason. One of them got tossed out of his in-laws house for beating his wife and ordered me out
on one day notice! I had just moved in 3 days earlier. I said only with a complete refund of every nickel. He refused, and told me he would sue me for damaging the house (which I did not do) if I did not get out that night. I did not, and ended up defending myself in court (lost) and on appeal (settled for a few hundred). Fun huh? Why am I telling you this? Because an experience like that will make a flaming Bolshevik out of anyone. An experience like what you are describing will result in the way you feel. It's only reasonable that this is so. Two problems though. 1. Your model does not account for the black leaders who not only do great work, but will bend for no one. Rice and Powell are prime examples. I do not believe that *anyone* pulls their strings. And frankly, although we know there is still racism out there, the hate shown towards conservative black leaders by liberals of all colors, is often much, much worse than any racism they have experienced. It starts with the idea that they are just puppets. And how will your model hold up if Rice becomes president? Think she will be one of the bosses then? But she will STILL be slandered by the left for not being one of them, won't she? This is not what King had in mind is it? 2. The fundamental difference between the left and the right on this is NO LONGER "do we like black people?" any more. This is not 1961. (and honestly, look at liberal cities like San Fran and Portland OR and try to find some black people) The fundamental difference today is whether we believe that the government should provide equal opportunities or equal results. The right believes that the government should provide equal opportunites, but the left believes that unequal results automatically equal racism. The left believe this because it keeps them in power and keeps people coming back to them for handouts, creating a permanent underclass of black victims on the bottom and white liberals on top with handouts. But of course, equal opportunity does not always give equal results. And that offends those with socialistic bents. Unfortunately for them, the methods of providing equal results always fail, and pretty much everyone knows it. Why do African immigrants do so much better than many black americans? They do. Better grades, better jobs. It clearly is not the genes. Racism isn't just sinful, it's stupid. It's the damn culture, not the people. Read Thomas Sowell on this. That culture, derived from slave owners, has a history all the way back to england, scotland and ireland, and every group, white or black that embraces it, sees the same phenomena that black american culture currently suffers from. I spent most of my life in academia, and I have done more than have black friends. I have mentored and led young black men. Today, nearly all are succesful and many are professionals, and it all started with changing the way they think. Racism is not the issue. It's like "whac

Oh... my... god... I can't beleive I'm reading this. So they SHOULDN'T promote the black guy because he's the best worker down on the floor? Wait, that wouldn't be right... if he's the best worker, then he SHOULD be the one to get promoted. No, wait again, but then he'd be getting screwed by getting promoted, for the reasons that you just said. OK, so we don't want him to get screwed, so we'll leave him where he is... no, but then we'd be screwing him by NOT promoting him. Looks like from your perspective the black guy is screwed either way by working there. NeilHey guys, trying to get input from some four or more card system useres ... I have a three card system and I remember that things became a lot more instable when I went from a 2 card to a 3card system ... is the switch painful? Also, should I get a PCI expansion bridge, or are all of you running a hefty 450watt Powersupply and plug it into the Mobo? Thanks, Ted5 card system running here at the moment. If you are only adding EDS cards and not interfaces, the addition would be fairly painless... BUT... I would recommend a Magma chassis for several reasons: 1) Too much heat inside the computer with this many cards. 2) You would need at *LEAST* a 500W supply to drive 4 cards and a few drives etc. 3) Configuring IRQ's is WAY more forgiving in a Magma chassis. 4) You now have room to add MORE EDS cards!! ;-) David.
