Xoo

Rush - Lakeside Park

I remember a conversation with an IBM employee (family friend) early 90s when MCA was coming in: he was completely befuddled as to why anyone would want to be able to use an existing ISA card (like extra serial ports - remember them?) in a new PS/2 machine. Not really a surprise the architecture didn't actually survive.

Note that enabling/disabling the plug-in via the "System" button causes a big gap in the audio: not when doing individual sections of the plug-in (makes little sense to me but there you have it). The input gain makes things very fizzy and unpleasant. Compressor is nice.

I won't post a link to it as it's gratuitous self-promotion, but I/Xoo do (does?) have a song called Brain Tattoo available online... Meanwhile, I feel obliged to: Hawkwind - Brainstorm

You snooze, you lose 🙂

The plug-ins have to be coded to support this too so if they haven't been thusly coded, the CbB can't do the migration/hiding.

As am I, but I still need to "Run As Admin" to enable successfully saving changes to DX plug-in names. Admin <> Admin in all cases 🙂

Run it outside as admin. There are command line switches to run it in the right context (I forget what - I use Task Manager to find out what they are when it's called from within CbB etc).

I was wondering about this over the weekend: how much is down to liking the song, how much the sound of the guitar and how much the actual "tune" of the solo? There are songs I really like (and bands/guitarists playing said song) but the solo in the song sucks golf-balls through a 50' hose (Alex Lifeson springs to mind - I'm a big Rush fan, but think pretty much all of his solos are awful); there are bands whose guitar sounds like it's being played on a sub-£50 Argos* guitar+amp bundle, which totally spoil what might otherwise be a good solo; and there are solos which aren't necessarily "amazing", but the guitar sound is gorgeous so the solo is lovely to listen to. * Apologies to those not in the UK for the cultural reference.
