the faces remind me of that pallas album cover

mmmmmmmmm

i thought la tasca's was pretty shit. the food was waaaaaaaaay too salty. i found pancho villa's was better for spanishy food. it's where via milano used to be. i think.

i don't know what's funnier, somebody getting a rise out of biz, or the thought of biz paying tax....

does it work in safe mode? is audiograbber a cd-ripping program? is it possible it has a program running in the background or in the system tray that is disabling access to the cdrom?

could be a hardware conflict. have you changed your hardware setup in any way? i.e. added another cd/dvd drive? added a new hard drive? have you installed anything noteworthy around the same time that the cd drive started not working? try putting a data cd in the drive. if after a few seconds it spins up and sounds normal (spins for about a minute or so), doesn't clunk, or speed up-slow down-speed up-slow down repeatedly, then mostly like you have a software problem, not a hardware problem. have you installed any other hardware, like webcams, ipods, scanners, printers, etc?

what are you actually looking for? have you a project in mind? are you looking for employees, or to contract someone to do some work for you, or someone to work with you on a hobby/endeavour/startup ?? i've seen good work come out of http://www.cyno.co.uk, certainly beats IFB.

Just a wee reminder for people wishing to keep track of gigs, last night's gig was listed on gcguide.co.uk. If you join the mailing list then you receive a weekly summary of gigs every monday - which would have told you when and where 65 days of static were playing. hope that helps

to buy or to borrow? what's your price range?

some say using line-out's doesn't give you much ambience, and can make things sound a bit too clinical. often as well, the quality of the line out feed is shite. i had a marshall valvestate once that had a line out so shit that it was better suited as a pen holder. on the other hand, if the line out is good quality, it can be useful for recording. as a general rule try to use as level an e.q. as possible on the amp, don't overdo the gain and turn off any delay, reverb, effects, etc. on the amp. it's better to do this on the computer often, especially in the case of e.q. and reverb. what sounds nice played in a room with a bit of a reverb can often sound a little vacuous once recorded to disk. try mucking about with your sm57. start by hitting record on your computer, and get one person to play the guitar while another person systematically tries different mic positions, recording the positions as accurately as possible as they go. experiment with different mic positions, different distances from the speaker and if you have more than one mic, try different things like micing the back of the speaker (if it's open/accessible). it all adds to the sound.

Not sure if you're interested' date=' but a colleague is selling his M-Audio Audiophile Firewire: [url']http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~M-Audio-Firewire-Audiophile~ID~3225.asp Think he was looking for just under a hunner or something, though may negotiate. I think it's pretty new, he's simply looking for a different model with a PCMCIA interface so he has less to carry around (live dj).

i think the man took his own shotgun ammunition into the shop.

You could also try Kenton Electronics, they used to retrofit modifications to your kind of synth. They may be able to service it for you. http://www.kentonuk.com

haha, oh my god it took my about 10 seconds to realise the guitar body was not triangular! i thought it looked like a hoover or a woman's hand bag or something. then i noticed the guitar was in a case.

no there's no downstairs at the royal thai. i think there are two small steps at the front street entrance, and further, just before you come into the main dining area i think there are one or two more individual steps. i think the first two steps at the door could be difficult if the person was unassisted. on the plus side i seem to remember tables are generally quite generously spaced apart.

what are the symptoms? have you any idea what is wrong with it? which stage is malfunctioning? i'd hand it to an electronics engineer or someone similar before going anywhere near a local music shop. if it's really precious to you there are places you could probably send it, funky junk in london springs to mind. http://www.proaudioeurope.com/
