Here's an idea of what I meant by lyrics from Kansas or the Mystery. This is Kansas' "The Wall" [Verse 1] I'm woven in a fantasy I can't believe the things I see The path that I have chosen now Has led me to a wall And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost [Pre-Chorus] It rises now before me A dark and silent barrier between [Chorus] All I am And all that I would ever want to be It's just a travesty Towering Marking off the boundaries my spirit Would erase [Verse 2] To pass beyond is what I seek I fear that I may be too weak And those are few who've seen it through To glimpse the other side The promised land is waiting Like a maiden that is soon to be a bride [Pre Chorus] The moment is a masterpiece The weight of indecision's in the air [Chorus] Standing there The symbol and the sum of all that's me It's just a travesty Towering Blocking out the light and blinding me I want to see [Bridge - Instrumental] [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Gold and diamonds cast a spell It's not for me, I know it well The riches that I seek are waiting On the other side There's more than I can measure In the treasures of the love that I can find [Pre Chorus] And though it's always been with me I must tear down the wall and let it be [Chorus] All I am And all that I was ever meant to be In harmony Shining true And smiling back at all who wait to cross There is no loss

Oh no! There's absolutely no need to take this offline! This is the Coffee House and we need the rare intellectual thread! I'm guessing you joined after BandLab took over, that's about when I quit going to the old forum, but I went down the metaphysics path a few times in my 41,000+ threads in the original forum. I may be a (VERY) long time IT guy, but my PhD work was in the close-to-woo-woo field of Hypnotherapy. I've done Prana yoga, am a third-degree Reiki Master Healer, am certified in Accelerated Learning and have an array of FDA-illegal experimental medical devices (along with some they allow consumers to own, like light & sound machines). I certainly have no issue with metaphysics. Of course, I'm also a musician nerd with my own sense of humor so there is that to deal with! LOL.

Wow, I come here expecting an apology from Bill for something and I see this??! ? ?

We're more likely to remember those timely words from the good folder name. ?

Someone (not me - no time!) needs to dissect these posts and make a Prog Rock song out of them (ala Kansas or the Mystery). ?

Ed's losing his touch. No girls in this year's picture!

I feel sorry for anyone who buys one hoping to sound like David...

Paulo is not a fan of the Spice Girls Ed. Please try again.

Don't know who BassDaddy is (that I know of), but Mesh is usually posting over at Beyond My DAW though I seem to recall seeing that he's very busy right now and Bapu wants him recording stuff as well (a little NagBap goes a long way!).

Wow, someone didn't do their homework! ?

(I love image reuse! ?)

I'd Leaf it alone if it was up to me.

I thought it was only two for Tuesday...

If this was the old Cakewalk, you'd want 13 - a Baker's dozen!

More at 11.

It's "In the Hair Tonight?"

Who stole Steve's hair??? ?

As if you haven't already heard it before! Spanking the Monkey A collab between myself, a guy in England and a singer in Belgium. The guy in England (Jon) loved to come up with names and force me to write lyrics to them...

Projected entertainment never is serious.

Ah... I miss the 80's sometimes... I wonder how many people really even know what they're missing now? They just play stuff through the speaker on their phone or PC and think it's good enough. *Bleh!* I had a wealthy friend in San Diego that had these super expensive old-style speakers (i.e., not the active grid kind). They must have been four feet tall and more than two feet across! Cost him tens of thousands of dollars even back then...

Ooo... Good point.

Here's my two cents (possibly more, possibly less!). 1) Personally, I did a test on a $4,000 stereo system (15 years ago) and "I" couldn't tell the difference between a 192 kbps .mp3 and anything higher so I've imported my huge collection of music (about 350,000 songs currently) into my computer at that resolution to save disk space. 2) That said, I also have done PhD work into brain functioning and other woo-woo experimental areas and there's some strong evidence that we can experience frequencies far beyond the typical 20-20,000 Hz that we can hear. Frequencies as high as 100 kHz appear to be absorbed by our bodies allowing for expanded abilities like accelerated learning (I happen to have a device called an Echofone that was originally used in experiments with dolphins as well as a Flanigan Neurophone which utilizes bone conduction to experience higher frequencies and can actually allow deaf people to hear). 3) CD's record at 44.1k, however many sound processors (especially the earlier ones) end up rounding any math applied to incoming signals which reduces the overall sampling rate into the 30's (e.g., 32k). This accounts for the lo-fi sound of many synths from the 80's. This is why I used to (and will again when I have another studio) record at 96k and then reduce to 44.1k at the very end of the process. Now, any rounding will happen above 44.1k so the end result sounds full.

I hear Daryl likes monkeys.

I would have expected you to answer everything "Am!" ???

They're still new to this Greg. Give them time to realize that the (new) FSF is just like a big compost pile. Keep it out in the yard, leave it alone and don't bring any of it into the house. ? As for your questions, remember: The answer is always "C." ?
