So the Whimper reckons he would 'bend over backwards' to be near a teenage schoolgirl!

Guitarmeister, Firewire is faster than USB, and equal to USB2. Also USB tends to be a little unstable. If you get a number of high-usage USB devices running at the same time they can easily get confused and you get "cross-talk";

this is where the signal from two seperate USB devices gets confused and, for example, you get external DVD-burner information being sent to your digital video camera, and digital video camera info being sent to your external DVD-burner, and it all gets messy.

Firewire eliminates this. I use an M-Audio Firewire 410; it's an external sound card that uses Firewire to interface with the PC. It's excellent. However I must point out that Firewire is still not a mainstream format of interface. USB and USB2 are still the global standard, so support for Firewire is still having teething problems.

I was using an Asus motherboard in my studio PC and the Firewire support was pathetic. I recently changed the motherboard for an Abit and it is fantastic, absolutely rock-solid, no problems. Cubase is very, very happy!

baduh: Great to hear from you man, and i emailed you my life story, lol, it's awesome how the power of music and Satch works! :-) Peace my friend!....

Satriella: The Air Force brought me here originally, and then I decided to stay once I got here.... Beautiful country, beautiful people, life is good :-)

Zenfish: When you get the chance, listen to the sound samples from Time Machine.... I really love what Jonathan Mover (awesome drummer) did for Joe, and it contains a live disc also.... Plus.... 3 of the 4 songs off his original lp (that he sold out of the trunk of his car, lol) are on there!!.... Interesting album at an interesting point in Joe's life!!.... You will hear Joe play like Jimi too, lol....

962 I see that you had offered Kayla some tutorial materials to help her with her guitar playing. After a long hiatus I have recently been attempting to relearn the little bit I did know about playing guitar and extend my "playing" into new areas. Now, I am not necessarily interested in becoming a "shreder". I am more interested in learning to play along with some classic rock songs just for my own amusement. Obviously I would like to play around with some of the "easier" Satch pieces and more modern songs. I always had difficulty figuring out guitar solos. Perhaps this is due to my lack of music theory and knowing scales. Anyway, I would appreciate it if you could help me out in any way possible :)

Guitarmeister Have you finished "As I Am" yet? If you have could you shoot it over to my email? Always interested in hearing some of your soloing!

Good Morning Satchland.......How was your weekend?

I'm burt out. I mixed my buddies band all weekend so he could have the CD for his BBQ on Mon. Whew ! ! ! 13 songs in four days. Sometimes I didn't even know what time it was. Anyway he loves it and they want to record some demos in the studio and maybe a DVD project. Yippie ! ! ! More work....I love it. It seems my buddies brother had other ideas for me joining the band. Oh well, it would have been a lot fun playin' with them again. Anyway had a great weekend and missed the chat room. I was plannin on a visit a couple times but got caught up in the mixing. So how's my chat room girls? Hope all is well with you Michelle and Cheese. How ya feeling these days Chee? Hugs to ya.

gottahavejoe.....Nice my space site. One would guess you're a Satch fan....lol.... You don't look chinese.... You look like Kayla.....lol....Hugs

Satriella.... Hi sweetie. How are you? Nice sketch of Kayla. Well, the offer fell apart before it happened ...no big deal. It was only a fun side project but I'm still working with them with my studio so that's cool. I took a little breather from mixing and checked out Bill's (my drummer) brother's band on Sat. night. He may take the lead vocalist and join us. The vocalist is great and Bob (Bill's brother) plays bass and sings back up really well. So we'll see. We still have a couple auditions coming up so time will time. Hugs

Have A Great Day Everyone ! ! ! !

If anyone said something to me and I missed it, I apologize.

Sandy, nice pic of Kayla. Very good!

Suze, congrats on the new job!

Alley, have a great time, and if you see any middle-aged fat American housewives along the way, try not to hug them.

Keniko, wow, you really had yer hands full! I had a great weekend. Sunday we had a party with the parents and in-laws, and they brought sooo much food! Damn, I have to invite them more often! They bring the good stuff! The day before the party we had a dump truck of mulch dropped off, and had to get that spread out over our 115 rose bushes, then around the front and side of the house. Wow! Talk about a workout. My poor husband! His legs were so stiff he could barely put his socks on the next day. lol! We were both walking around here like two old folks all weekend, so we fit in well with our parents and all their aches and pains. lol! My son got stung by something within the first half hour of mulching. It got him in the hand and elbow, and it started swelling up quick. I brought him in right away and made a paste of meat tenderizer and water, and globbed that on it, and the sting went away within a few minutes. The meat tenderizer neutralizes the sting, and it really works! All in all it was a pretty good weekend. Now if the temp. would only go back to normal! It's so friggin' HOT!! It's supposed to be in the 70's, not 90's!!!

LOVE YA JOE!!

962 My uncle said he's either going to put a computer together for me or will give me something new... It'll be just for recording and all that good stuff. I was looking at the Lexicon USB interfaces, they seem pretty good. But, if I have alittle more $ than I'm expecting I'll go with the Mbox2. Thanks for the help also.
