I can offer better reviews of 1&1 hosting (1and1.com), but I certainly have not used my hosting package to its full potential. On a modest 3 dollars a month, I have used less than one percent of my 10GB webspace, less than ten percent of my MYSQL database, and less than 1 percent of my 300GB transfer rate/month. I even switched credit cards without updating the number in my account, and they sent me a nice email giving me 14 days to figure things out before they shut down my site. I don't think LunarPages would have done that. Also, they gave me 5 days notice on the server migration of my site, and then, it was only down 15 minutes at like 12AM central time. I have no clue what resources Recordingreview.com uses, but I would recommend 1and1.com. That is, if only switching between hosts was easier than swithing within a host..... Brandon:

Dr. David A. Dunning a professor of psychology at Cornell says that according to his research, most incompetent people do not know that they are incompetent. On the contrary. People who do things badly, Dunning has found in studies, are usually supremely confident of their abilities -- more confident, in fact, than people who do things well. Therefore with this knowledge in hand, I believe it is incumbent upon us "the competent" to inform these dumb asses that they are indeed, "dumb asses". In so doing we are providing a great service to them and society in general. So let it ring far and wide that you are doing the right thing by calling their "competence" into question. My own private research has found that "dumb asses" are most commonly found in positions of government (both elected and appointed) and larger corporations, however they are also randomly scattered throughout society as you well know. Good luck in rebuilding what some dumb ass has torn down but know that you are doing us all a service by pointing out these dumb asses who excel in incompetence.

]]> Comment on Digidesign Pro Tools: Rethinking The Industry Standard Mentality by Richard Wolff http://www.recordingreview.com/blog/digidesign-pro-tools-rethinking-the-industry-standard-mentality/#comment-1209 Richard Wolff Mon, 05 May 2008 13:43:20 +0000 http://www.recordingreview.com/blog/digidesign-pro-tools-rethinking-the-industry-standard-mentality/#comment-1209 Thanks for your article!!! To the pro tools religious followers.... I´ve been working with DAWS for more than 10 years and I know pretty well almost every major software and I´m positive about this : Pro tools is an arrogant piece of software. They called themselves "the Industry standard" but if you really know something about DAWS, you will see how the "intuitive Pro tools interface" is really OLD, no intuitive at all, and the WORST and most abrupt thing for me: the disabled OMF function. How can be restricted a function themselves created so many years ago? that is nothing else but an obscure intent to deny to the blinded pro tools users, a really obvious thing: THERE ARE MANY THINGS BETTER OUTSIDE PRO TOOLS WORLD. Pro tools WAS great... yes, WAS, but the world has changed a lot since the the time Pro tool was almost the only "PRO" software on stage. From my experience, I can say that NUENDO, CUBASE, DIGITAL PERFORMER, LOGIC, EVEN SONAR are really great options with a LOT OF MORE POSSIBILITIES, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE REAL WORLD: the AFFORDABLE part. You can fool yourself spending more than $1000 bucks buying a really LIMITED version of Pro Tools or you can be wise and RE-THINK about what you really NEED and what you´ll really GET with the "LE" VERSION of a company with the worst costumer service in the industry. (that is their true standard... ask your friends in "need" if you think I don´t like pro tools for free) Final thought: the great sound resides in your knowledge about every step in your "sound chain", your vision of what you want and, in your ears, finally. If you think the good sound is only the sub-product of a software, please think again about your career. PEACE. Richard Thanks for your article!!!

I guess that's a good sign. While I'm keen to jump into this, I'm having a really hard time tracking down cheap/free Mac VST/RTAS plugins for handling the impulse responses. SIR2 is the one I'm demoing right now, but it runs SUPER SLOW on my system (i'm using a PowerPC Mac (not intel) and I also use Protools LE 7.4). Anyone have any hints for us digidesign/mac folks? ;) hey guys - i just dabbled with these impulses the other night with Amplitube Jimi Hendrix and Guitar Rig2 and i was astounded at how great they sound! without realising it i was still jamming away 45 mins or so after activating it and i hadn’t even noticed the time.
