it's worth noting that, if you've got a device that flat-out won't recognize in w7 - or any windows operating system, for that matter - but supposedly has driver support, you can force-install it through the device manager's hardware profiling service. if i'm not mistaken, there's an open-source asio driver that runs the blackjack, but i don't remember what it is. if i remember correctly, you're not getting advanced functionality, but it'll pass audio through both ways. the .inf for the system isn't correct since it's not designed for it, but you can make one and point it at the right files. i'd use XP mode to see what files the driver uses (device manager, properties, device details, related files), then force-install those specific file names from the w7-compatible driver. edit: first response on google outlines basically what i'd suggest doing. w7's interface isn't significantly different.

focusrite's preamps are awesome, if i haven't already said so. great stuff.

yeah, his processor has speedstep, so it likely stepped down when his fan wasn't running. buy a can of air and blow that shitter out. otherwise, mail it to me, and i'll replace the fan with something we have at work.

sent in my final yesterday morning but haven't heard anything. did you hear, josh?

and we do every magfest!

i never officially submitted it because i recognized that while it's a great concept, it's poorly mastered and has a bunch of mistakes in it. i've wanted to revisit it for a long time, but can't decide just how about to go about it =)

yeah, that kind of response gets your idea across really well. particularly considering that, by your own commentary, your argument is pointless. thanks for wasting our time here. i think what shaun is saying - that stuff is just too different, and the minimal profit generated from most plugins not named Omnisphere or equivalent wouldn't lend itself to the reduced market size of a VST distribution service - is right on. this would be cool, but it'd also be fundamentally unusable for most big manufacturers. now, tailoring this to smaller developers would be a great idea. but most of those smaller devs don't have crazy dongle security and all that other crap. so, while it'd be awesome to have a service to do all this, it really comes down to the fact that the best way to reinstall loads of plugins is to use a program like Norton Ghost and just backup/restore your system partition regularly.

agreed. i use an image dump of my OS with all keys installed and authorized when i change computers, and invariably i have to go back and re-authorize stuff because it's tied to something stupid like my motherboard MAC instead of my OS key. an online service that handles authorization information would be incredible.

Jokémon! aasdfaerhafhasdh

oshi missed this! fernando, if you want more specialized help, send me a PM =)

irql stop errors are invariably either toasted ram or a faulty motherboard. people swap out graphics cards and say that they fixed it, but they just put in a more compatible gfx card with that particular verion of bork.

it's worth noting that the original project concept was to do music specifically from RBY, and as such most of the songs are from that initial set of games. it's also worth noting that jigglypuff was a joke. i've said for a long time that the point of projects is that it allows for more songs that aren't necessarily either up to OCR's standards or fitting into OCR's guidelines. more often than not, these songs still are fun to listen to and are enjoyable, but they're just not quite something that OCR could really release on the main page.

we got an upright grand from someone on craigslist for free that has real ivory keys. they're a bit busted up, but they've got the grooves in them from use and everything =)

that's not exactly true, but they are prized for sentimental value. and lamps.

i remember when you sent this in. remember when you asked me for help on the drums? you were sequencing it with reason stock drums and couldn't get it to have any punch. fishy was literally like 25 posts 'old' when we heard his first clips for this project. same with anso. i was in the 700s or so for my stuff, hadn't been around more than a year or so at that point. cerrax was a newbie, everyone was new. lot of good memories involved with this project. the jigglypuff thing literally took like 20 minutes, but was pretty hilarious at the time. the forums were always a blast, so goofy all the time. i probably had 500 or 600 posts there in the first year before my involvement in the project waned. there's also the time i used my mod powers to give me 1337 posts. also, in other news, jaroban is awesome. downloading now, gotta listen to this over the weekend.

the series II super action 80 horns retail for around 3500 if they're paris models, closer to 2800 if they're US-made. just fyi. most music shops will sell for around 3k, though, since the 3500$ is the msrp.

five dollars. i'll paypal it to you if you want.

good stuff so far. keep it coming =)

wait, you've got a 75-year-old buffet clarinet? ...how much do you want for it?

good info, there. i'll look into those companies more. i tend to prefer smaller companies for my audio components (grado/alessandro labs headphones, NHT monitors and sub, etc).

i OWN the 990 already. i'm trying to get an upgrade, not an old mic. also, 57s are great in the studio because of their high SPL and unique sound when getting, say, pumped-up amps at close range. note that this has nothing to do with what i'm asking for. cyril, what's that mic good at?

the sm57 is a dynamic mic. i'm looking for a condenser. also, really?

we've got a "post your workspace" thread, but no live instrument thread. so, what are you packing? the only rule is that it has to be a traditional instrument - like a trumpet or a guitar - so no midi controllers, no rackmount effects, and no amps. if you got it used, list what you paid for it =) if it's new, don't worry about it. i've currently got: selmer paris series III alto sax, serial number 628xxx - bought new conn tenor sax (garage sale special!) - 100$ and a pair of nice football cleats ibanez EW20ZWENT acoustic guitar (that's the zebrawood one) - bought new washburn 12-string acoustic from the early 90s (don't remember the model), no pickup - 50$ and two matched audio technica dynamic mics kay 8-string mandolin, circa 1971, no pickup - 175$, and it came with a case and two sets of strings arbor semi-hollow electric guitar with aftermarket tuners and electronics (new, as of today!) - 175$ fender 4-string acoustic bass guitar - 100$, came with a properly fitted gig bag esp 6-string electric bass (spalted maple top) - 100$ and a behringer 6-input mini mixer we also got an upright grand for free off of craigslist when we were in ithaca. i don't remember the manufacturer, but it was made in the 20s and weighs roughly a thousand pounds or so. oh, and it's missing a wheel and a few ivories, but nothing major

after finally getting the rest of my hardware where i want it, it's time to upgrade my primary microphone. i've been doing all of my recording on a beat-up marshall MXL-something condenser that i picked up for 75$ in 2005. i'm looking for at least one, maybe two, new mics for use with my saxophone (no bari sax) and with vocals. they'll be recording through a focusrite saffire pro 40 into my discrete music-only DAW. i've looked around a bit, and have liked what i've seen for the ATM 450, cascade FAT HEAD II, and a few others. i'd prefer to spend less than 250$ per mic. if i'm going with two mics and not a more flexible option, though, there needs to either be a show-stopping performance difference or a price break to make it viable. i can't afford two brand-new mics right at the moment. i don't have a vocal booth or recording room yet, so this stuff is being purchased with the idea that i'll have that type of space within the next few years. any suggestions?
