Really comes down to complexity of the project.
As noted above, fairly "sample" driven production tends to be pretty light CPU wise, but can start consuming a decent RAM footprint, depending on the sizes of the samples being used.
In terms of tone generation and synthesis, specially in the...
Recently upgrade my rig... and added in some lights for better mood lighting. =P

I've been a Presonus guy for years, but recently bought a Saffire Pro 40.
The drivers for it have been just rock solid, far better then PreSonus ever was.
I like the Scarlet, I have a few friends who use them for their mobile recording setup, and has always performed quite well. Specially for...
Sounds like noise likely coming off the videocard, or USB conenctions.
If it's coming while playing games, my guess would be the videocard is generating interference and the unshielded audio components are picking it up.
Not much you can really do about it, short of maybe trying an external...
Hi all,
Just finished building my new machine to replace my aging Opteron workstation that I've been using since 2003. I mostly use my machine for music production, with the odd side of gaming.
New machine Specs:
- Six Core Intel Xeon (E5-2640) @ @2.5Ghz
- 16GB 1600 DDR3 ECC
- XFX Radeaon...
Pretty sure kids keep, and use their phones while on school property. Or listen to music from their iPods. I mean come on man.
I used to do network installs, I did Wifi installs for many many high schools in my region, and one of the biggest problems faced by a lot of schools was the number...
And no.. I don't equate ID badges with RFID tags to government tyranny.
You've got GPS, WiFi and multiple cell antennas in your phones, MP3 players, tablets, gaming handhelds, cars.
"Blackbox" like devices in your car.
Content providers tracking your online "movement", and physical...
I honestly don't understand what the big deal is...
This is slightly different, but I've been to many University/College campuses where the school IDs were chipped. Entry to certain locations, labs, and access to resources was tracked using either the bar scanner and/or the chip on the card...
So they got away with 1.32Mil worth of stuff...
So a couple iPhones, maybe an iPad or two; and one Mac Pro fully upgraded with max RAM and Hard Drive space.
Heres my workstation. The general layout hasn't changed a whole lot in the past year... Most just hardware upgrades of various component.

I ran into this problem last night while updating.
Boot onto Win7 Install disk, recovery console, fixmbr/fixboot... Boot off 10.04 installer CD, reinstalled grub onto root partition for the computer. Done.
Not a huge problem, I ran into a simlar problem a while ago with another Ubuntu...
I think an individual rating for each card/configuration would have been better then a blanked rating for the whole thing.
At quick glance, someone looking at the rating would think that the 470 got a silver rating, when it's pretty clear you guys are recommending to stay clear in the...
Did some upgrades to my setup, pictures are a little bit so I'm just going to post urls to the pictures.

I've been playing with the Opera 10 betas for a good chunk of time, and it's nice to have seen it progress from beta 1, 2, 3, RC, and final.
My RC just told me to upgrade the second it started up, and I'm typing this in the final now. As always, I'm quite pleased with the performance, and...
The point I was trying to make, was the comparison that Close Source software is more secure then Open Source. When in reality you can't argue that point in such a blanket statement. Are there Close Source software solutions that are more "secure" then their Open Source competition, sure... is...
Personally I never had much of a problem with the ATI/AMD naming scheme when then went over to the X series and above.
100, 2000, 3000, and 4000. And from what we've heard, coming soon, the 5000 series.
The problem I have it when it comes down to the actual performance of the card where it...
Just thought I'd point out that IBM's Power based systems are still being used in most of the top 10 of the worlds most powerful Super Computers. Power6 is suppost to reach 5+Ghz, and Power was also the bassis for the Cell CPU which is found in the PS3s and the number 1 Super Computer in world...
The girlfriend has a Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo, 256Mb 8600GT Videcard 1440x900Res, 2 Gigs DDR2-667 of ram 250GB Harddrive... and she loves it. It's a slick machine, I don't argue that. She's been a Mac user for 23 years, and she's loves thems.
but then I came home with an ASUS G50...
Lord knows they do in Canada. Most people I know have a maximum bandwidth limit of roughly 5Mb, with a total data cap of 60Gigs +/- a couple Gigs a month.
To me, this is an easy way for people to go over their cap, and for the ISPs to charge them an arm and a leg for it.
ISP are going to love this.
People are going to go over the monthly transfer and bandwidth caps, and the ISPs are going to charge them a fortune for it. They are going to make a killing.
Security issues aside, I'm sure the ISPs are looking at this as an easy way to make more money. With...
Personally, I do think OS X, coming from a Unix background does have some strengths compared to Windows in terms of security. I didn't say it was bulletproof.
OS X, like all other OSes are only as secure as the user thats using it... and if a user puts in their admin password to install an...
The more popular you get, the more people will start paying attention.
Do I think OS X is more secure by default compared to Windows? Yes.
Do I think OS X is bullet proof? No.
It's to bad that OS X has to get malware, but really... it was just a matter of time. Hopefully Apple comes up...
I'm an Opera User(Actually using the Opera 10 Beta right now), but I have to agree with the 'Sour Grapes' comment from above.
Windows and IE are both MS products, I don't see why MS should even allow a 'Kill Switch' for the program. It's nice that they are doing it, but if any company is...
