Yeah, they're a little clunky, I agree, and definitely not the most handsome phones, but I'm more interested in their sound.

Very true. That is why I think creators are creators: They love the problem-solving process.

Totally ridiculous points in my opinion. The world would be a pretty goddamn dull place without art. Therefore, art has value. Therefore, people should be rewarded for creating value and making this world a better place. Yes, in fact, it's that goddamn simple. AUGH, where do some of you people come from?

That's what I was wondering. Chuck might have been able to make some of those jokes funny.

Songwriting is basically a problem-solving process. Once you create an element, that element essentially creates a series of new problems to solve. Each new problem solved usually opens up new problems to solve, and so on. You know you're done when you've either run out of problems to solve or you figure the remaining problems are negligable. At least that's the way it's always worked for me. The key is to jump in and create that first element, the rest will, with enough fortitude, take care of itself.

This looks like exactly what I need. Thank you both of you. Of course I can't try it yet because my new computer is a day or two away, but soon! Rock on. Edit: Okay, so I finally got the computer - it's a beauty. But they forgot to include the keyboard, mouse...and POWER CABLE. WTF??? Totally anti-climactic.

Thanks Stalker. I'll give it a look-see.

If I wanted to run my voice through the Reason 3.0 vocoder, how would I record my voice in the most efficient way while maintaining quality? I have a mic, but are there any good freeware programs that will record the voice into the type of file that Reason accepts?

I'll certainly look forward to that one. Lime Structure was a great album. And yeah, some more downtempo stuff would be cool.

A very good idea. Why haven't they been doing that all along?

Don't you hate it when that happens?

Much appreciated. I will certainly look into it.

See what I wrote above regarding the 280s.

Nice! Great album (Patio), by the way.

Agree. Although Weird Monkey is still a pretty cool track.

No.

Bypass Unit - Green Dreams I owned this a long time ago and got rid of it at some point. Felt I should have it again, so I got it used at Amazon. It's okay; their later stuff is better.

That's the one. Thanks Ukiro. By the way, I saw somewhere around here the name of the artist of your avatar, but I lost track of it. One more time?

draeke, you have a very enviable collection... [cries]

That's a painting by the artist - I forget his name - who Christer Ka-Sol claims to have inspired much of his music. A very cool idea. Hey Anoebis, was there a process you had to go through to get the rights to use that image?

Yeah, Bola's cool, I agree. But if you want to start getting into this territory, there are far better purchases. Casino Versus Japan, Ochre, Isan, Arovane...

Hallucinogen doesn't suck?

Bluetech is really good along those lines.

Remember how the Green House Effect album was totally bagged when it came out? It was ruthless. It aged nicely.
