everything but the pedal still going...

you're welcome to the docking station, no claimants yet. Can you come pick it up? PM for details

ok, alan's down first for the echo pedal. psydoll, if you want the cd deck, PM me to arrange a pick up some time. Ta.

Donations of recordable cds/dvds most welcome, but not required. 1 X Carlsbro Echo Pedal [GONE] This thing is old - it could perhaps do with a little maintenance too, if you know what you are doing. It crackles a bit - i think this is due to a couple of things: the pots could use some cleaning, and also one or more of the input jacks may have a loose connection. It doesn't crackle all the time, which is why I think it may be something to do with the pots. It can make some spacey as fuck sounds, and has the benefit of having a direct out which can make for a lot of fun if you have two amps.

It came for free with my laptop when i bought it, but I have no use for it. PM me if you want more details. An example of what it does can be found here on ebay. Note I'm not selling mine on ebay, i just can't be bothered copying and pasting the description. 1 X Pioneer CD player Old, so old! Roughly about 20 years old, still plays cds. I don't really know why anyone would want a cd deck these days, but if you do, here's one for free. may add more stuff as it gathers by the bin.

i am using gentoo linux, on both my desktop and my laptop. desktop is an athlon 1800xp with 512mb ram, 2x120gb disks, m-audio delta 66 sound card with breakout box, nvidia geforce2 mx400 graphics. laptop is a dell latitude c600 with a 1ghz pentium III and 512mb ram. my laptop tends to trail behind the desktop in terms of software, as i want it to be as stable as possible for live stuff.

yeah i know what you are saying, for the last five years i've always bought hardware with linux in mind. i think you over estimate the hardware problem though, most decent soundcards have pretty good drivers with latency timings matching asio drivers. if you are doing audio work on linux, then you should be using ALSA sound stuff, not OSS, which is probably where half of your woes lie if you are still using redhat (as supposed to fedora core releases). check out planet ccrma for redhat/FC tailored RPM releases. makes things a lot easier.

i use my dell laptop for live audio work as well, using its cheapy onboard sound chip. it works ok, but obviously the latencies are a lot higher than on my delta 66. i can still happily run all the same applications though.

it's on channel 4 again right now if anyone wants to catch it

captain tom's!

i'm glad i bought tickets in advance for this one now!

i want to know how a blind man knows when his ass is clean

indeed. all you need is a midi controller. that can be as small as one octave, or as big as a full size stage piano. the choice is completely yours. the benefit being that if you do a lot of computer recording with midi, then you can use the controller for that too. however, many crappy old keyboards that can be had for a tenner from a car boot sale will even have a midi out port, which would do the job.

something that works in the same way as a gibson echoplex. many zoom pedals used to do the job, in a subset sort of way. look at the manual online for the gibson echoplex, and you'll find out what kind of functionality these things should have.

if it's a VST, yes... (and if you have a copy... mumble mumble...). I run amplitube in ardour with no problems.

you can get live CDs, however you typically can't save anything you do unless you have some other storage, e.g. an external hard drive or network storage. there are some multimedia specific linux distributions, notably demudi and agnula, though they aren't always that up to date, and the linux audio development area moves very, very quickly. a better solution is to dual boot your PC, i.e. share your hard drive with both windows and linux. that's what i used to do; just means you can use linux when you want, and windows when you want. getting started can be a bit difficult, especially if you are new to linux. having a good sound card with low latency ability is a benefit, but not required. what soundcard do you have? i seem to remember you were about to buy (or had just bought) a new PC last time we spoke. if you want a demonstration, feel free to drop by and you can decide for yourself if it will be of use to you. main applications: HDR/multi tracker: ardour (like ACiD/cubase/logic) sequencers: rosegarden, muse (like cubase/reason) drum machines: hydrogen (like fruityloops i guess and/or reason) synths: zynaddsubfx, amsynth, qsynth/fluidsynth (like reason's NN-XT sampler/subtraktor synth) wave editors: rezound, audacity (like soundforge) there's loads more, but they are the ones that i use everyday. hope that helps

it could be a moog rogue i'll skip the saliva, if i am correct.

go virtual, not vintage

i had 100% fun

secret machines, "nowhere again" ?? googled
