He truly has no fucking clue....

We knew that already...

Right. Jay, the runtime would be independant of the OS even if the firewire isn't.

[kwame k]

Why not just install a virtual-machine on a USB stick, then plug the fucking thing in anywhere you want and have at it?

Yeah, because you wouldn't need an OS to run it

[GAR]

and that's why I like using at least 4-tracks for a good drum sound.

That's why you went back to Michigan, and Motown Records did not.

Vmware's kernel's its own OS..

Oh no! Did I hurt your little feelings there, Clay.

Now how would you run your USB

independant

moron.

VMware Player is the easiest way to run multiple operating systems at the same time on your PC. With its user-friendly interface, VMware Player makes it effortless for anyone to try out Windows 7, Chrome OS or the latest Linux releases, or create isolated virtual machines to safely test new software and surf the Web. VMware Player can also be used to run a virtual copy of an old PC so that you can recycle the old machines you have under your desk or stored in the closet.

You mean this?

Wow, you picked those out! Good for you..

Eat a dick.
Sesh, drunk off his ass is still 100 times the player you are...

On the subject of recording a band rehearsal or the whole band at once...........we've had success with putting guitar cabs in other rooms, vocalist in the bathroom, running the bass direct and having the drums in the same room we were jamming.

Recording the whole band in the same room with all the instruments in the room too, can and has worked for years of recording. That's how it was done way back when. The only time I've ever had success doing this was when all the guys in the band were on board recording that way and we could balance the room, so to speak. Making sure everything could be heard equally and no one instrument was overpowering another instrument. You have to be willing to have give and take in that situation and willing to do whatever is best for the overall sound of the band, not the individual player.

I'd have to choke my drums way down and use thin cymbals so the cymbal decay was fast and not too loud.

You can still record with everyone in the same room. Just depends on how you set up the room. Take this diagram from Pathe-Marconi studios in Paris, circa 1977, for example......



This is how the Rolling Stones cut one of their greatest albums, Some Girls. Yeah sure there were some overdubs. Definitely vocals, maybe a guitar part added here and there, other things like sax and harmonica added in later, but the raw tracks were done here with everyone in the room.

And it comes out something like this........

[kwame k]

Yep, Your Most Unholiness.........knew about that room setup. Notice how there are isolation panels around Charlie and the others.

Great find

[GAR]

You mean this?

sorry NO.

Thought I'd point out at this juncture, Van Halen never recorded with "isolation panels."

Must've been a reason huh..

[Diamondjimi]

Shh, go away...

[Seshmeister]

So, was this supposed to be Whole Lotta Love?
Your melody line reminded me of "American Woman".

Based on something I saw Prince do at an after show in London a few years back. It's generally a bad idea I think to cover a cover but it was a quick lazy idea.



I think we needed more cowbell.

What is undeniable is that I was and still am taller than him...
