Because of the 1024 thing. A MB is NOT exactly one million bytes of data, it's 1024K. So a \"MB\" is actually 1024KB of data, so it doesn't divide in exactly. They always post this in the teeeeeny weeeeeny fine print when you're shoppping for a puter or a HD.
And there's a real reason that people crave sweet stuff after a meal. Anyone wanna take another crack at it? :P
Welllll...it IS funny. You're not weird, as far as we know. But you're scrambling 'tou's thread, you're gonna get him depressed.
Soooo..since no one knows: people crave sweets after meals because it takes time for the digestive system to break down ffood to the point it can fuel the body. Since you were eating in the first place in response to your hunger impulse, your body thinks it needs fuel, and fast, and suger is the fastest food to reach the bloodstream.
:shock:
Knowing stuff like this is why women disdain me. :roll: If I were a fat, dumb, sweaty NASCAR fan, I'd probably have Jessica Simpson beating my door down.
So.Why can't brilliant engineers who build literally 100's of functions into a GNX figure out how to make it able to run a chorus and a second modulation effect at the same time?? :evil: :?
Cost. And maybe because then it would be TOO good.. .marketing issues.
Also, while we are on the subject of the funny astronomer Tyhco Brahe, he also had a dwarf named Jebb, who sat under the dinner table at meal times... :shock:
Q: Does mic cable have to be 6mm thick or can I use the shielded 2 core small variety that is used in patch cables, if the cables are to be used to stationary studio mics?
I've learned that higher quality cables = higher quality sound. In guitar, speaker or mic cables...your rig can sound like a whole new animal, with some really good quality cables...so I feel you should always buy the best quality you can afford. The length will matter a lot too. Longer cables will need the braided shielding. They may get stepped on a lot, as well as longer the length, the more interference they can pick up.
If you are talking primarily about the shielding...and they are relatively short cables, and not prone to much if any abuse, you can go with the cheaper spiral shielding, or even the cheaper still foil shielding.
My best advice is simply buy what you can afford, so you are up and making music. If you can afford to upgrade...better cables are a good investment.
The top brands are all about equal in quality, so if you can get one onsale...use them.
I started doing finger exercises. I'm using the heavy tension (9 lbs.) and wished I did buy this medium tension. (7 lbs.) But after a week my hands are getting stronger. I was doing finger isolation before I got the gripmaster. My isolation has improved a lot. I had a hell of a time keeping my ring finger and pinky independant. They want to follow each other. Thing that surprised me, I am right handed, and always thought my right hand grip was strongest. Turns out from playing guitar, my left (frethand) is stronger by far.
My legato is better, and everything is noticeably improving. I guess finger/hand exercising was the best move lately I could have done.
Cooley has some awesome technical ability. I've never checked out his lessons, although, I'm sure that he can produce some stretch and build routines. It's his music that for some reason makes me want to kill kittens, with my bare hands.
I hope his new band is doing well, and they were able to keep their new singer from Brazil.
I'd rather see extreme technical ability over the electronic digital soaked, spliced and edited shortcut music. I have to wonder what the trends in our music future is. A poor composition is a poor composition. So...I'm not really leaning in that direction with my question.
It takes too much time to develop talent and ability. The digital age seems to be encouraging easy ways out, and to me the music suffers...and the future of real talent gets further and further lost.
So, my question is....will music be overwhelmed in commercialism, and real art of music become compromised?

Music has ALREADY been overtaken by commercialism. The real art of musicianship is only undertaken by real artists, which are rarer and rarer due to - commercialism. There's no money in talent, only in sales. :?
So.
Anyone wanna tell me why I can't run a chorus and another mod'n on my GNX at the same time? :x
\"Anyone wanna tell me why I can't run a chorus and another mod'n on my GNX at the same time?
A) Cuz that would just be silly You can,.... just buy another one
C) the chip that handle chorus, tremolo, detune ect is all in one chip on the circuit board, you need a second chip to run 2 at once...again-just silly
Only thing \"wrong\" I can think of is you have to go through a lot of tweaking this and that to get your settings just right, and run two amps, and you would need to hire \"Lonnie\" ...Eddie Van Halen's techie who just quit Van Halen about a week and a half ago....that is....if he is still available. Someone will have to keep all this stuff sorted out and running right for you.
It's a lot of work and fuss for sounds you can only use for \"certain\" moments in the song....otherwise you quickly muddy the song with over done effects.
But...yeah baby...I witnessed all this first hand, as it developed from the amp, reverb, tremolo, fuzz pedal, wah-wah...and we went from the 50's and 60's like \"Cool Daddy-O...to Far Out mannnnnnnn.\"
Guy's like Jimmy Page started messin' with those Hammond Organs and Leslie cabs and someone invented the Phaser, and Chorus, and Flanger...and we couldn't get enough of that stuff. Spacey...mellow, freaky Outter-Space Alien mating sounds, and Mystical vibrations that would transcend you to a Higher Consciousness, and sheit.
Guy's like David Gilmour and Pink Floyd were huge, because they would make those long mellow songs just soaking with all those new modulations, and you didn't even need to smoke a joint to feel high,,,just listening to their echos and effects. When that Flanger came out. No one could really even describe the sound. It was a bigger debate than getting out of Viet Nam. It wasn't a Phaser sound...EVH-esque...and it wasn't Gilmours signiture Chorus sound....this was uummmm like if you took a 55 gal. steel drum, and put some water in the bottom and added some ball bearings and swirled that around, with a muffled mic....ish kinda...hard to describe mannnnnn....but it was Far Out mannn.
Don't get me started on Mahavishnu Orchestra With John McLaughlin. The songs were just loooooong mannnn. Because all these cool sounds were new.
But guess what happened.
It all got overdone. Over processed and became too wishy-washy yawn...you know...like okay...I get it already...kinda feeling. It wore off I think....and we wanted to just return to Hard Rock.
Today...I think the times are just so different. People are in too much of a hurry. The songs need to be a hip moving beat...and people don't want to get all deep in story lines or Buck Rodgers sounds. We seem to be way past the \"new sounds\" era. The newness is all gone. Unless you want to indulge in some \"retro.\"
I'm guilty too. When I play a Pink Floyd song now...I skip right to the guitar solos....and then I'm done with it.
But I'll say this. I like my GNX4...and the digital effects....but in my opinion...none of this stuff is as good as the old analog stompboxes. This digital stuff is well digital. It has no soul. The advantage is...you can go quickly to many signature sounds easily....and have fun with it..adding patches is simple....and not spend a lot of time tweaking knobs and switching cabinets.
If you could be on a Game Show, or a Reality Show...what would it be?
.....besides \"Girls Gone Wild.\" (okay..okay...that's an info-mercial)
8) I bought it off of him for a song and a dance
.....he's still waitin' fer the song. :?
You do have some very nice Art. Twisted and Brooding.
Sometimes a Masterful level of Insanity and Taboo....few souls dare indulge.
My guess is Daddy-O has Marilyn Manson eyes behind those
cheap sunglasses...and ever since Tal used that avvy...there has been a
subtle change in him. Have you noticed that too? ...just sayin.
Anyday now...you watch...he's gonna start pinchin' a harmonic
....and growin' a long beard.
Well...this is an Answer/Question evolution.
So my Wild Card Question of the day is...which came first? The Artist? ...or the Model? :P
Mr. Hand: What are you, people? On dope?
Jeff Spicoli: Hey bud, what's your problem?
Mr. Hand: No problem at all. I think you know where the front office is.
Jeff Spicoli: .... You dick!
The model. The artist's woodie came next.
Art has always been nothing more than a justifiable way for geeks to get hott women undressed. 8)
So why do I play git'r and hockey instead of paint?!?!? :?
....I was gonna say...'cuz Shredd is really...really....r-e-a-l-l-y
white...and only white guys play Hockey. :P
The car lights would shine, but since you are traveling at the speed of light, they would only reflect the future image of itself, folding infinitely back upon itself, fluctuating rapidly like a pulsar projecting and reflecting, and while everything around you seems to be streams of light, all you would see is a spectrum colored plaid. This all would create a hyperbolic fluxgramifacation worm hole and time would warp as well as light would exceed nueclitoric ogasmical amplification and your whole Galaxy or comparative Universe would be reduced to the size of a speck reverberating back to normal pulse and bits of your atoms would shear off with each vibration.

Dunno about Jimi. :oops:
But the headlight concept still has me on the floor staring at the ceiling. :shock:
If your car were traveling at the speed of light, and you turned on your headlights...would they do anything?
And now for a correct explanation
In accordance with the theory of general relativity, the speed of light is the one thing that all observers measure to be constant. And, assuming you are moving with constant velocity, you would not be able to tell if you were moving at the speed of light. BUT it IS impossible to move at the speed of light because your mass would become infinite, your length would contract to 0 and thus, you would require infinite energy to move at the speed of light (c). But assuming you could move at c, or lets say very close to c, everything would appear normal to you, because you measure the speed of light to be the same value as a stationary observer. HOWEVER, everything is NOT normal for the stationary observer. Not only are your headlights NOT useful, your length has reduced, your mass appears to be larger and your time is going far far slower.
Q: How would i get a single guitar track and make it sound like it is on both sides of the stereo image, as if there is two guitars in exact unison, panned to either side?
I'm not certain what you are trying to do. :?
If you want a sound simply panned hard left and hard right, you will have a hole in the middle, so most mixers will pan at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock. To break the signal, you add some chorus to one side. This is not very warm...nor fat.
The \"good old fashioned\" way was to play the part twice, or three times and mix that. So...are you looking for that kind of sound? A Randy Rhoads fat sound? This is the thing though...you really need to have your part rehearsed well enough to play almost identical parts. What makes this so cool, is there are going to be small differences in timing and inflection from track to track to create a \"natural\" chorusing effect.
Remember that is what a chorus effect does. It creates a slight delay in time and pitch from the single signal to make it sound like dual signals. I think when they created the chorus effect, they were basically trying to copy the 12-string guitar sound, with it's dual octave strings.
But to get back to what you are asking. You want to have a \"lazy overdubbing effect\" ? That can be done electronically, although not as good as the \"real\" thing. The same signal just panned hard left and hard right is done with two amps, or a mixing board to different cabinets. Nothing fat going to happen there. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think what you are asking is how to get that \"fat\" sound, without having to record separate tracks. Like in a \"live\" setting.
You can double-track using a delay. Set the delay time for a quick echo so that the echo is almost simultaneous with the original sound. Use 5 to 50 milliseconds. The more milliseconds the looser the sound. You will want to keep it \"tight\" and set the feedback control to one repeat and the mix control so that the volume of the wet signal is slightly below that of the dry one.
This will give you a \"unison\" sound like another part being played, although this electronic double tracking does not create the natural chorusing effect of doing it the \"old fashioned way.\" You won't have the subtle nuances in timing and inflection, but sooo much easier to do, as few if any of us can play a piece almost identical...as say Randy Rhoads could. :P
I hope I'm not missing the point of your question. :oops:
Thinking of Randy Rhoads....my favorite song is Mr. Crowley. How about a little trivia about Randy. What was the first thing Randy would do when he came to a new location while on Tour? 8)
Thanks Manitou 8). And Cobaltblooz - you will find that you CANNOT reach c, NOTHING can reach c^2. The formula for mass increase is: Mo/{[1-(v^2/c^2)]^0.5}
where Mo is \"rest mass\", v is velocity, c is the speed of light.
Basically, this equation shows that as v approaches c, the factor [1-(v^2/c^2)] approaches 0, which means that if v=c, Mo/(that factor) = infinity, as any positive integer divided by 0 equals infinity.

Why do people crave sweet things after meals, no matter how full they are?
(Answer to shredds q) Because..... it makes them feel good? I dont know.... perhaps is has some connection with out caveman ancestors...
(New question) Why, when you buy a hard drive, does it have less than the stated capacity? Eg when i bought a 250gb drive it only has 232gb....
