I'd try asking over on Audio Asylum in the Vinyl page. Another alternative that was touted with some of the Teres Audio guys was 1/4 inch magnetic tape ( If your motor pulley is flat that is ). If you want to try, the easy way would be to find an old VHS and scotch tape. If not, just give me your addy and I'll send you some for Xmas (if you're a bad boy that is!).

A wet Turkish GP quali made for some major fun! I can only hope that Sunday will be as entertaining (and I'll try not to post spoilers till Monday).

Enjoyed this one and can't wait for the next season.

I installed Elmedia to prep for the death of Flash. https://www.wikihow.com/Open-SWF-Files

Funny, I finally updated to Catalina 11/8 (and the first time I used Migration Assist instead of doing a clean install for, I can't even remember). So of course I was cursing "Fu***ing Catalina piece of shit!" I started eying that bootable backup of Mojave I made Sunday. And I'm usually the one that's "don't you panic me brothers". Come to think of it, those problems may have started last night. My Apple TV wouldn't boot so I ended up using the Android app built into my TV (after restarting my entire digital world of course).

I had some wacky issues with some apps that are connected to servers today. I was on the verge of restoring Catalina and/or other panic driven measures. Things seemed to have settled down now so it could be related somehow? Anyway, glad you mentioned the server issues Adam.

You might see if you can do a dual install (or at least be sure and have a very recent backup). If you rely on that computer for your work, that seems pretty daring to me! For pro audio work, BS is not an option,.. yet!

Keep us in the loop on how OxDeadBeef is treating you. I'm always on the lookout for a decent player for Mac and that one looks pretty cool!

Love the virtual conferences! The releases were what I expected. Nothing there for me yet (hell, I just upgraded my iMac to Catalina on Sunday) but I took a big swig of the Kool-Aid and now I'm looking forward to see what comes in the next couple of years! I can't wait to see real world benchmarks for audio processing with the M1 chips limited to 16G of ram. I worked with my 2012 15 inch MBP (4core) while transitioning into my place in Oregon and it's 16G. Used it in clamshell mode (closed) with an ASUS 24" monitor. It did a lot of high speed fanning but it didn't really choke on the projects I was working on then. Rendering/bouncing was a little slow but I could live with it. Anywho, I have little doubt that most casual users would have any issues with any of the new Macs but I guess we'll see in the next few months. I'm guessing the next gen chips will have more ram integrated or have motherboards that will accept ram? Great to see John Hodges back in the mix!

Have a fantastic Birthday shipmate!

Happy Birthday Chris!

That's a beauty Kattefjaes! Love the way modulars keep all the sounds/lines separate. Super punchy too! Thanks for sharing you guys

Getting the mixing right is not the easiest thing in the world! As they say, mixing is about hundreds of little things that sound inconsequential by themselves but add up to big differences. Here's a pretty good video on OH mixing. I'm terrible at letting percussion take over my compositions so I know from first hand experience!

Fantastic Iain! I could see an edgy anime as I listened. Might rein in those hard panned percussion bits a little but overall, impressive!!!

Will be doin' the Antler Dance for the foreseeable future. Now, where did I put that barrel of tar and that bag of feathers?

That sound like an awesome book! Thanks for the link

Yup,.. that was a good one!!! I was living with my long suffering mother those days so she got to hear those races in the early AM (used to have it on VHS).

Election Day composition

Here's a pretty good deal for those who longed to buy one of the ARP 2600 reissues but couldn't justify the cash. I'm usually an advocate for not cluttering my app/plugin folders with cheap/free stuff that you use a few times and forget but this seems like a standout. on sale for $25 bucks,.. how could I resist! https://cherryaudio.com/instruments/ca2600

As a lifelong fan of both these guys, I'll be re visiting this movie tonight.

Another childhood hero gone. RIP (although 90 is pretty damn good for someone who lived a life) I know many of you were thinking of this so here it is!!!

Finished the Netflix limited series Queen's Gambit mentioned above. Loved it (not perfect but it got me to pull out some of my fav chess books and dream about my adventures and comrades in the game). Here's a bit of nice analysis by GM Ginger Williams. Warning,.. this is full of spoilers!!!!

Very sad Fitz. My condolences

Searching for Bobby Fisher and Night Moves (with Gene Hackman) off the top of my head. Both mention historically/theoretically important games. Not just the stuff you see on the back pages of newspapers on a bad news day.

Apple has installers for everything back to Sierra available online. Here's the page with a link for the Mojave installer. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210190 I make thumb drive installers as I do upgrades. I have them all the way back to Mavericks and a DVD for Snow Leopard if anyone ever needs a copy. But, like I said, that Apple support page has links to Sierra, High Sierra, El Capitan, Mojave and Catalina.
