Definitely!
Thanks for taking a listen to Cowboy Blue. Sadly the static crackle is not an upload problem. Its something that started happening a few months back when exporting to AIFF from DB, and also when locking a track in GB (and I think sending a song to iTunes). I think it must be something to do with my macs audio settings and processor speed (v slow Graphite G4).
And I thought my ol' G4 iBook was getting creaky! I upgraded to a Intel Mac Mini a few months ago, and it definitely runs GarageBand much more happily. And that's just as well, since in prep for moving I had to sell my amps and my ol' Roland DAW, so GarageBand is my whole studio at the moment.
On a related issue - the new db build, I have to report it not working for me in Tiger. I've tried it on two G4 Macs, on the first there is no sound at any time incl playback and drum selection. This is true for the kit editor too. On my other (G4-Quicksilver), there is sound, but its scrambled 'white noise' . The duration is ok and the amplitude (it decays), but something is scrambling it up. If you import into the drum editor, you can see a scrambled waveform. I guess this is something to do with the framework you mentioned Ben.
Grimness! I hadn't tried using that latest build in anger yet, so I hadn't encountered this. Sounds like I shall stick with the previous beta at the moment. (Might be mid-2008 before I jump to Leopard -- I'm not sure what it sells for locally, but well-marked up over the US prices I've no doubt!)
I think Breton Cornish and Welsh derive from a similar place. A lot of words sound similar especially place names - but spellings of these are often very different. Lots of Zs and Ks in Breton i seem to remember.
Breton is a bit closer to mostly-extinct-slightly-resurrected Cornish. They split from the ancestor of Welsh around the early 6th century AD, and from each other around perhaps the 9th century. There are several orthographic systems for writing Breton, but yes :) it's awash in k, z, and c'h. (I realize I spelt "swan" wrong -- it should be "alarc'h" or "an alarc'h" for "the swan" as the tune title should properly be!) But I digress! (as I frequently do ;) Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
