    Stupid MIDI questions

    Post yours here. I never had the chance to go to far with MIDI so I'm a bit clueless now. Question #1. Should it be possible to make a knob on my newish M-Audio controller keyboard perform the same tasks as the data slider on an old rack mount synth module? If so, what's involved? Scenario...

    Google quarantined me

    This morning I got an email from Google with the subject line "Malware notification regarding deeptime.net." At first, I thought it was a phishing thing but then when I visited my sites in Firefox I was greeted with the big red "Reported Attack Site!" page. See for yourself...

    End of the BFI

    http://putneydebater.wordpress.com/2009/08/22/end-of-the-bfi-as-we-know-it/ Seems set to be subsumed by the Film Council following the usual neo-lib forumla. Olympics partly to blame. :(

    Your preferred digital DJ system and why

    I'm toying with the idea of, at least partially, switching to digital. Vinyl's taking up too much space and my budget for overseas purchases may be drying up. So going digital as much as possible would be a help, but only so long as it makes sense financially and is still pleasant to use...

    Mac X11?

    Is it worth installing X11? Anyone here use it? It's a prerequisite for some open source Mac software but is it a pain to use in terms of slowing things down, not acting Mac-like? I'm wondering because I'm trying to find a suitable Photoshop replacement and I'm thinking GIMP unless someone...

    Managing studio acoustics

    I'm wondering how other people have handled this without going overboard. Not soundproofing (i.e. stopping sounds flowing in and out) but treatment of the bass and reflections in the room to get an accurate enough picture when monitoring (no 'live' recording). As of this week, I finally have...

    this is great http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7264758.stm but coupled with this you start to feel like maybe you're out of the loop... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2008/03/10/sciark110.xml are there more of these things?

    "rap and hip-hop"

    That phrase has been bugging me for two decades now. What the hell is it supposed to mean? It seems that it's usually uttered by people who aren't 100% certain about either term so they say both just to be safe, and not in a "well, rapping is one of the 5 [or how ever many there are now]...

    why should i like stewart home?

    or more accurately, what makes him a good read and where's a good place to start? i'm always short of decent fiction. is his stuff all anarcho-squat pulp, outrageous sex and occult drug rituals? i've only got the assault on culture which i don't suppose is representative. i'd be keen on...

    Dividing a mix into CD tracks

    Every time I have to divide up a mix into CD tracks I run into a lot of confusion and frustration. It seems like there should be a very simple little app out there for doing this. I'm on OS X so I've tried Peak, DSP Quattro and, previously, Jam (the joy of doing it all with numbers!). Each...
