PCDJ DAC-3 Arrives
Posted by Admin | Filed under Uncategorized
My new (heck of a deal) PCDJ DAC-3 controller and PCDJ Red and DEX Software are here. 
Installed and running daily as I figure out ‘how-to’ do all the looping functions and save the loops, trigger and import into Acid. This thing has so many features, it’ll be months before I figure them all out – with my hectic schedule that is.. Here are some shots of the hardware installed in the rack and skin on the computer monitor.

Acid Pro 7 Arrives

The new Acid has been released with its many new features. It’s installed and I’ve been reviewing some of them. A different added interface (the old one is still there) but it’s 
more intuitive – more like a real mixer.
New music arrives at Acid Planet this winter after I get my feet wet.
A Few Days into Vista
Posted by Admin | Filed under Uncategorized
Well I mentioned “Computer-ific” in the previous post. I must say that after reinstalling 99% of my software, so far so good. There were a few tweaks, but nothing major.
One thing I have found.. Printers. Sometimes they install easily, sometimes they will only install and be available for certain applications, sometimes not at all. If you have a network printer and change your network - be careful. I could not remap a new (IP address) to the old driver. I had to add a new printer (Copy 1) in order for it to print. Even trying to add a new TCP/IP Port would not allow the printer to print. In the list of printers, it would classify as ‘Ready’, but sending a job to the spooler would only cause it to hang. I would have to Stop and Restart the Spooler application to release the stuck job.
Waiting on Windows 7.. (and it’s only been about a month on this Vista install!)
Computer-ific!

I did it. I know, I said I wasn’t going to but..
Vista Ultimate is now installed on my main PC. I’ve reinstalled –most- of my software from the XP incarnation and only have housekeeping chores to do on my old XP drives. With now over 1 1/2 Terabytes of storage available, video and audio editing will have room to play. (Pun intended!)
Vista does have more security, or at least this is a clean install so it runs much faster. Time will tell.
Ike + Houston = Mess

What didn’t get blown away or flooded is a total wreck. Power is slowly being restored and many places still under water. I have a friend, Jay Lindsey, that lives in Conroe, TX which is just north of Houston and no one has heard from him (at our AcidExchange Guild) since the storm. He’s just probably waiting to get things back to normal. Hope he’s okay..
We will be getting rain, wind, and a flyby from Ike’s remnants tonight as it makes its way up the St. Lawrence river valley. Nothing un-ordinary for us really. September now about half over.. here comes fall.
A reminder to cut the pumpkins from the vines soon for the grandkids.
