CTC Command

Does this "Creative LiveDrive" come with all of those imputs or do they only come with one of the mentioned imputs (regular 1/4" stereo input, left/right rca inputs, even optical inputs)? Can you use this piece of equipment to convert sterio sound to MP3? I am afraid that I have run into the problem you mentioned about the issue with the newer stuff and recording and proprietorship/piracy. The software that I got with the mini disk recorder won't let me "check in" the recorded songs on my computer.. It gives me an error message..(an error has occured cannot check-in).. I need to find some way around that so I can get the mini disk recording on regular CD. Can I just download some type of software that will upload the music... or is the block on the MD player itself? As of right now I can't do anything with it except play it on the mp3 player. I may have to just use my car tape connection and dub it on a regular audio tape. http://www.3dsoundsurge.com/reviews/LiveDrive/LiveDrive.html for all the specs. I've never ran into the sort of proprietary concerns you mentioned with your mini-disc recorder when using the LiveDrive. I have a feeling that alot of this slightly older equipment is going to be in greater demand as time goes on, as more and more of the new hardware has built-in restrictions. I think the Creative Audigy equipment, which is the next generation after the LiveDrive, does have built-in restrictions. If I am not mistaken this was what the main complaint was on the ZP thread about it.

Unless those rings come as part of a locking belt mechanism, I predict they will be just about completely ineffective in preventing pregnancy!

At first glance I thought that said "Spam is a good friend." My eyes are going all funny over here! And I'll bring all my shoes and glasses with me... I just want to say if it weren't for Dude's personal invite pm'ing me over at ZP to clue me in on this cool little hang-out, I would never have known about this place. So he's to blame not just for his own spam, but for all of mine too!! :rotfl:

Didn't someone say they were going to use their influence with OPEC to keep the price of gas down? Who might that have been? I wonder, could it have been, maybe, perhaps SATAN? no, it was just his evil twin w

NASA's Mars rover Opportunity will have to watch its step around its Endurance Crater destination to avoid a potentially mission-ending fall, while its twin Spirit continues its approach to the Columbia Hills. Rover mission scientists are particularly wary about sending Opportunity into Endurance crater, which bears tempting rock outcrops for study but could be catastrophic if the rover slips. With a depth of more than 66 feet (20 meters), Endurance is 10 times deeper than Eagle Crater, where Opportunity came to rest more than three months ago. "This is a big hole in the ground," said Cornell University's Steve Squyres, the rover project's principal investigator, during a mission briefing held Thursday at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "There are cliffs where the rover could fall off and die if we're not careful." Rover researchers have long anticipated Opportunity's arrival at Endurance, which spans about 430 feet (130 meters), hoping to find a rock outcrop similar to the one at the rover's Eagle Crater landing site to give them a better sense of the geologic history of the planet. It seems they've found that in the form of Burns Cliff, a massive outcrop along the ridge of Endurance Crater and Opportunity's most likely point of attack into the rocky past of its Meridiani Planum landing site. The cliff stands yards high, well above the foot-high outcrop studied so eagerly at Eagle Crater. Studying the cliff close-up would give scientists a deeper look into the Martian surface. "These are much bigger than anything we've seen before of layered rocks on Mars," Squyres said during a mission briefing. "That is going to tell us much of what is going to happen at Meridiani Planum." While there is ample suggestion of crossbedding in the cliff and a healthy scattering of hematite-rich spherules across the crater, mission scientists aren't sure what Burns Cliff may tell them about the history of Martian water. Squyres said Opportunity's remote sensing instruments indicate the cliff is mostly basalt, a type of rock that makes up most of the seafloor on Earth. But whether that means the rock is solely sandstone or was once a Martian beach or sand dune remains to be determined, he added. First, the rover has to find a safe way into the crater, and mission planners are working to find the safest route into Endurance. rest of story

well whatever it is it's probably a picture of this

i have no idea what the fuck this is a picture of

here's another one he took of the road

here's a picture of me taken by my son.

I wouldn't brag about it if I were him--doesn't say much for any natural talent on his part, relying on a hunk of metal to get his point across. Unlike myself, where pleasing the ladies has always been completely attributable to a deep sense of rhythm, passion and flawless attention to detail :P With a chunk of iron like that lodged in his rigging he must also have a lot fun getting through ariport security!

It sounds like you and method have access to more professional equipment than I do, but I have a cool little setup I put together a couple years ago. I compose electronic/loop based stuff mostly that is all "internal" so to speak, but I also have a keyboard, drum machine, sampler, bass, electric, acoustic, microphones (used to play in live bands a few years back) and I interface with my computer using a Creative LiveDrive. You need to buy their "mini-midi" conversion plug from the Creative website for midi devices, as no one else seems to use them or stock them (the local Daddy's Junky Music staff gave me quite the wtf look when I tried to get one there) but there's lots of other input, regular 1/4" stereo input, left/right rca inputs, even optical inputs. I'm sure that just about anything you might have could be connected to your computer with that. Creative has some newer products out, but I recall a discussion in a ZP tech thread there might be some issue with the newer stuff and recording and proprietorship/piracy--I don't know how significant it really is. I'm hapy wit the setup I have at present and have no $$$ to go upgrading anyway. But like the DAT recorder, a livedrive at this point would probably not set one back too much, there must be used ones out on internet/ebay. Then its just a matter of the recording software in you computer. I've mostly used Acid and Soundforge, but there's other stuff out there more complex and maybe better suited for what you are doing. Again it sounds like Method might have some better leads on professional grade software. But if you're a DIY like me the LiveDrive has been a great little workhorse of an interface.

you mean, like if everything was cross-referenced and linked like a sort of wiki-pedia thing? It would be nice, but probably beyond the scope of our esteemed moderators to invest the time and effort into it. But I know what you mean--sometimes posts and even threads get lost, and days after I think of something or find something new that relates to the old thread but then the time and energy of backtracking all my posts to find the thread from last week, I just end saying fuck it and blame it all on my slow dial-up connection why I am blowing it off.

The Warlock Pinchers had a great song about our beloved Steven Patrick. It was called "Morrissey Rides a Cockhorse," off of their classic Deadly Kung Fu Action. Give it a listen. It will change your life.

This isn't really that political. Well, let me clarify--it isn't partisan. But it is political for the communities trying to keep the big boxes and franchise chains from coming to town...

I recently read on a "how and when to talk to your kids about sex" website (my son has been asking some questions lately and I wanted to find out how much one should explain to a preschooler etc.) that a greater percentage of teenagers engage in oral sex today than in the past because they do not consider it as intimate as intercourse. The site actually went on to caution parents of pre-adolescent boys about "predatory" girls who might try to get them to engage in what that current demographic apparently considers to be something fairly innocuous. I have two problems with that. First, I can't think of what could be MORE intimate than having oral sex. I mean, c'mon! even fucking isn't--genital to genital contact, as intimate as it is, your eyes and nose are still several feet away from the action... Second, why didn't the girls know about this back when I was high school! :reallymad:

Hot Tuna rules! My favorite is "Historic Tuna" Recorded at live at KSAN & The Fillmore West, San Francisco, California in 1971. The first Relix Records release of classic live Hot Tuna concert performances (1984's SPLASHDOWN) opened up the floodgates for future releases--the second in a long and winding series being HISTORIC HOT TUNA a year later. Mastered directly from the original tapes of a two different Tuna shows recorded in their hometown of San Francisco in 1971, the first half acoustic, the second an electric set. Founding members Jorma Kaukonen (guitar/vocals) and Jack Casady (bass) are joined by such early comrades as Papa John Creach (violin) and Sammy Piazza (drums), which helps create a fine mixture of both Hot Tuna musical worlds. Highlights include the tracks 'True Religion,' 'Rock Me Baby,' 'Want You To Know,' and 'Been So Long.' been so long come back baby new song (for the morning) rock me baby search my heart space jam true religion want you to know And a belated Happy Birthday Kiwibank!

My first LP was Kiss Alive II...my mother tried to confiscate it after seeing the picture of Gene Simmons drooling blood on the front cover! First 45? I know what the first 45 was I listened to, though I doubt I had bought this because I was probably only 5 or 6 when it came out, but Glen Campbell's cover of Otis Redding's "Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay." First one I bought was Aerosmith's "Kings And Queens" since the track skipped really bad on my Draw The Line LP. I don't remember what was on the other side. I also had a 45 of Deep Purple's Smoke On The Water, but somehow I think I got that later. I was never that big on 45's. I have no idea what the first cassette tape was. 8-tracks...again I don't think I actually bought any, though the Sears stereo I had as a kid had an 8-track recorder! So I used to make my own 8-tracks. No wait an minute! I know I had a copy of Ted Nugent's Wango Tango on 8-track...I either bought it or stole it, I can't remember. Same thing with Led Zeppelin's In Through The Out Door. First CD? I won Medicine's Shot Forth Self Living off the local college radio station, and it sat around for at least a year until I accumulated several other CD's through gifts, then I finally gave in and bought a CD boom box. Then I kicked myself for not listening to the Medicine earlier, as it is still one of my favorites. But that Kiss album still cracks me up...what mother wouldn't be offended by that back in 1978?

Though it's tough to outdo DAIC and other spammers of his ilk here, I figure I would rather focus on Quality rather than Quantity...01010011010 sexy spam thread...now that was fucking spam, man.
