Seriously though, I received some ATR 1/2" from a while ago so things are getting close over there.

C'mon Mike, we're cheering for ya.

Not that there's anything WRONG with that. I must have at least one brown shirt in my drawers.

Didn't the ****s have some group called "The Brownshirts" ??

Oh sh&t ... gotta go ... a capstan busted and there's tape all over the floor.

Look, they didn't have digital or linux in hitler's time; it was an honest mistake.

He probably was gay, like apple, like the color brown, maybe even kinda like unbuntu.

And BTW: Hitler didn't _record_ the Bible, the Bible recorded hitler... or would have if hitler mattered to the Bible, which he did not, because the Bible has seen better and worse then hitler.

And thus didn't see him as noteworthy enough to include in pagnation form.

what else do the voices tell you?

I wish I could be promoted, though in that case I'd post on myspace instead and other sites with non-musicians who are more likely to be less critical of my music.

I know very litle about computers, but my computer geek friend said that the latest operative system for mac is just like linux the main diference being it`s apearence. He says that even the commands are the same...

I dont know if that`s true, but since he always was a fan of linux (and not so aple fan) and he`s a programer, I guess I believe him...

Personaly, I don`t give a flying fuuck about wich operative systems are the best. If I wan`t to compose something on a computer, I don`t care if I`ll do it on guitar pro, sibelius, reason, cubase, or whatever...

I hate computers, but I have 4. They`re all pc`s. They work just fine, and I get a blue screen twice a year between the four computers. So, from my experience, my veredict is:

- Windows might not manage the memory as well as linux, but it does what it is suposed to do very well, and you can find software for free to do about anything. And I can say that I don`t have viruses or troyan horses in any of them.


(sorry about the of thread post)

Of course essential

RMGI SM900 here---will never change to any other tape.

ATR give up now.

[emkay]

So! On the eighth day Gawd created analogue tape and it was good!! So where the "eff" can I get analogue tape here in the USA? What's up with ATR Magnetics? Will the better tape be secular or ecumenical? Did Hitler invent Linux? Who the "eff"is Linux? Can he help me find good analogue tape here in the USA? Is Bush Hitler? Does Cheney mix on 1/2" or 1"? Please help!! Where am I? Is this really happening??!!!

Did your local supplier give up? I had been getting tape from WM Sales here isn TX, but I haven't needed any for a while.

So if tape is brown, and brown is gay, and apple is gay, what would happen if they hooked up? I think it would be a sexy party, with dance music and everything.

Not trying to start an argument or anything, but I would like to see as many tape manufacturers in business as possible. Not that I have a use for +9 or even +10 (ATR) tape, I prefer +6, and Quantegy over RMGI at that..... but still why the negativity?

by the way, I got an email from ATR which read: "ATR Magnetics, our sister company dedicated to the continued production of high quality analog recording tape, is currently in the final rounds of in-house beta testing before product release!".

This was a year ago.

You Know any distribution for Europe?

Thanks.

Linux is not digital. If the lot of you would begin for just a moment to base your wild-eyed conjecture squarely in the field of reason, you just might begin to comprehend that digits had not yet been <i>invented</i> during Hitler's era. Therefore if Hitler invented Linux then any fool can see that Linux is a purely analog operating system.
Analog was at the time a virgin science, analogies having been invented in Holland during the winter of 1928. Before the development of magnetic racial bias, analogies tended to be extremely vague and impractical, lacking in high end frequency response and carrying a tremendous burden of radical racial harmonical distortionment. Common SAT scores of the period were understandably very low.
Magnetic racial bias was perfected by Hitler as the third pillar of his Linux Analog Computer Operating System (LACOS) manifesto, the second pillar being the extermination of the "parasite" races and the fourth pillar being the acquisition of <i>liebensraum</i> via the invasion of Holland. The **** assault was driven back only through the invention of digits, which enabled far more accurate control of tanks and artillery than the primitive **** "tongue and mouth" method.
Unfortunately by this point a large portion of Europe's ethnic minority populations had been magnetically biased, leading the world community to advocate digital operating systems and recording technologies in favor of repeating the tragedies of the analog "Linux" era.

Linux wouldn't say such mean things about you...

[taturana]

well, magnetic tape was invented by germans around the time of the second world war..by BASF if i remember my audio history correctly...



with alien help , of course...

I didn't see anything wrong. Makes sense to me although it seems to be written for someone who is clueless about calibration tapes. At least they try to explain it. I'm sure Jay McKnight would have jumped all over them if there was anything really out of whack.
