Oh yeah! Here's Andy - Santa styles!



I don't care what that kid said, you're totally phat enough to be Santa.

guess who has a job! that's right... i'm now an employee of Canadian Tire... woo hoo. I've never had such a fast application/hiring process. Walk in, ask about the help wanted sign, talk to the manager for 5 minutes, and have a shift starting on Monday.

granted it's not work related to my field, but given the season, and my sudden need to bolster my savings account (fucking T Mobile), this will help, even if all I do is stick to it until I find something more applicable.

oh! and my photos are all developed now too...

talk about blows to the budget... phone bill (assholes!), new car battery, and photos... lots and lots of money all down the drain... and now I'm going to have to wait a long while to fix the rest of the ailments of my poor car

Hey Eric, I'm not sure if you're aware, but Par put Hipster Twister up as a sponsor on our iftv development site. Every sponsor though needs a coupon or special offer of some sort... any ideas for a coupon thingy we can put up?

Country Christmas Jambouree I have killed you!!! Rejoice free people of the earth/bank!

Yep first day as a free man! Then 3 days later back to being a wage slave! Yeehaw!

yeah the classic reverb just came out not too long ago. dude said he hadn't tried it yet.

jsese: yes, I want to get my drink on tomorrow. I dunno about Halo though... I need cheap boooooze. We need to organize something STAT, natch.

here's a link to assimilator.

I would LURV to try eq-synching a project up to a vinyl sound... that would be fuckin crazy... I wonder if anybody's tried that??? I gots IDEAS bitch...

if we get a powercore, we HAVE to get the assimilator plugin; it's supposed to be like Steinberg's Freefilter VST but BETTER!!! I haven't read a single bad review about it. Unfortunately I checked their site and assimilator will set us back an extra $250 US. YIKES. But potentially totally worth it... Though I wonder if it can be jacked? Apparently it's just a PC download that is used in conjunction with your powercore unit... hmm... dirty avenues of internet-ville... I will be digging through your virus-infested stockpiles soon.

Also, whichever model we get, we gotta make sure we have classicVERB and MasterX3... which seems to be standard on the new units anyway. I heard that the mastVERB plug-in isn't so hot though... it's getting mixed reviews. I've heard people say it has bit of a metallic sound which makes me cringe... I hate that sound in a reverb. ClassicVERB is apparently pretty warm and lush sounding though, so that sounds good... although again I've read hardcore studio freaks will still prefer their lexicon units. I want to see how easy it is to use convoluting reverb VSTs in nuendo... because they should be just as good if not better than standalone lexicon units.

from the FAQ

Will the PowerCore hardware run other than PowerCore plug-ins?

No. The PowerCore plug-ins are VST/AU compatible, but they are special versions that require dedicated DSP processors to run. Other VST/AU plug-ins are programmed for native CPUs, and these plug-ins won't run on the dedicated PowerCore DSPs.

fuck.
but still the built in ones are sweet. check out the Character one. dude says that one's seriously the shit.
