I have Vol 1 of Philosopher's notes, and they are EXCELLENT. I love their pick your price system for paying. It's really an evolved way of doing things, some real higher thinking, in my book...

SCAM ALERT: If you are looking for rentals on Craigslist, do NOT singup for creditreport.com

I fell for it...



The ad looked very convincing, and the lister told us we needed to signup for creditreport.com in order to provide them our rental history.  Turns out it was totally bogus and just a way for them to get credit for the referral using an affiliate link.  Luckily we were using a legit website when we signed up, but others aren't so lucky and provide their personal info to a fishing website.  I know what to look out for, so I would have see that coming.  Everything appeared completely legit until the person listing the property just stopped communicating with us mysteriously.  A Google search revealed the scam.

Telos Zephyr Express FS, but proceed with caution for VO

Unfortunately, the Zephyr Express was a lemon and had some issues doing the commonly used MPEG L2 Mono 128 codec setting. This is why its value is so low compared to other used codecs.

Fixing whining Mbox 2's for 99 cents

Today I had two different clients in one day with whining (humming, buzzing, whistling) Mbox 2 Minis connected to Macs.  One was connected to an iMac, the other to an Mac Mini, in two totally different studio configurations.  In each case the whine was eliminated through the use of a ground adapter, AKA ground lifter, plugged into the mic preamp and/or mixer's power plug.  Each one cost less than $1.   If you ever face whining USB interface problems, grounding issues are the first place the look and are very easy to test.  USB cables can at times be at fault, but most of the cases it's just grounding, or the need to break the ground on one piece of gear.

Please test my site, tell me if menus DON'T work under "Services" and what browser U R using (IE7, IE8, FF3, etc)

Some of my clients say they can't see my menus, and therefor can't browse my website. This is infuriating, since I pay a premium to use squarespace.com to host my website and they handle all of the CSS and HTML coding.


The VO-BB :: View topic - FS: Telos Zephyr 9202

If you need one, here's a reliable source. I am sure he's will to negotiate as he is priced on the high side. If he'll guarantee it functions %100, it's a fair price.
