Hi Michael, pleased to meet you! > Best to agree on licensing with people first before doing any work > together. So true. Alas, it's the same old story. "Oh, come on, my friend would never do THAT!" (-; Thus, the need to make Ram's Free Music Philosophy clear to my guests before they step up to mic. At this point it's a minor tiff between old friends, but I can see how it could easily become a major one. I'd be happy to document my techie-efforts for The Cause. To start - Here's my home system - Abit BP6 w/2-466mhz Celerons in dark chocolate 80 gigs of IDE disk (2x10, 2x30 WD's) Plextor 12x SCSI cdrom burner Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum w/Live Drive I'm running RedHat 7/Gnome 1.2 with kernel 2.4.1-ac19. I record raw tracks on a Roland VS880, mixdown via the S/PDIF and the SoundBlaster using Broadcast 2000, where I also do editing and final mastering before using the venerable cdrdao to burn my disks at 12x on the Plextor. I'm a big fan of cdparanoia as a ripper and use XMMS for routine playback duties. Every time I hit a snag, someone was out there to give me a pointer in the right direction. I hope I can help. I second Ram's endorsement of the Ambrosia on Rockville Pike - it's feta heaven.
