Re: (313) These Go up to 11
No i was talking about the original track on the Green Album. This vocal edit is very nice too it has this New Order or Underworld touch, but the original has got a higher 'magnitude', to me :) By the way i agree with your comments on the "Rococo EP", its really pretty.

RE: (313) Ableton Live / Computer Help
An annoying problem I have with Live .asd files is when you burn them to a cd and the burned filename gets truncated because of the filename length restrictions of the cd format the .wav file won't read the .asd file when you copy the file back to your hard drive and you have to rewarp it. Of course the answer is to keep the filenames short, but I like to include the artist, track title and label in my filenames to make it easier for sorting. Ableton really needs to set it up so you can copy warp markers between clips easily. Even better would be if they released the file specification so people could write .asd warper utilities. Then I can finally realize my dream of warping tracks on my pocket pc while I'm at work!

David. Is there a possibility you're saving/moving/copying them as 'read only' files? they don't work then for some reason - not sure why. But you SHOULD definitely be able to save them and use them whenever. Maybe others might know more?

RE: (313) Magick Times: Detroit
i'll agree with all that. while not knowledgable enough about philosophers to take each to task, it definately was pretentious. if you can't relate your points to the reader, than there's no point of writing it. maybe there's a point i'm not knowledgable enough to get, maybe there's a point but it's just not well expressed, or maybe there's no point and it's just intellectual diareaha. but you should always write for your reader, and i think this was over the top for the metro times. but what the hell do i know- i learned how to write at the real detroit school ;) anyways- there may be a point to the fast and furious deadline concept. while sitting in the airport in frankfurt waiting for my flight out of germany, i probably wrote my berlin/hawtin article 20 times in my head, each one more fantastic than the last. i believe at one point i even pondered the potential of writing the entire article withou mentioning hawtin by name, as i felt like the children playing on the giant spaceship in the middle of the food court (yes- it was actually there, not a sleep deprived hallucination) more aptly encapsulated my experience. time is almost always essential for proper internal editing. but hey- the metrotimes is read by over 100,000 people in detroit, plus i'm sure thousands have read this article online. i won't get down on someone for 'myth making.' it certainly perpetuates the culture more effectively than a jaded 'duh- all djs do that.' A good music journalist should make there subject sound like the most important/intelligent/hedonistic/outstanding/debauched thing on the planet. that's what drags people in. what's the other option- insipid tabloid emptiness? talk about what he was wearing and dating? does anyone need to know that magda's bathroom has a heated towel rack? i'm babbling now. ok- later On Fri, 12 Nov 2004, Tristan Watkins wrote: > > -Original Message- > > From: Martin Dust [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: 12 November 2004 20:06 > > To: 313@hyperreal.org > > Subject: Re: (313) Magick Times: Detroit > > > > Austin Osman Spare called this a state of "neither neither" - > > a state of mind where the internal chatter is silenced and a > > strange kind of auto-pilot takes over.
