"Will Friedwald proclaims he has the world largest iTunes collection. An avid listener to Jazz music, and a writer for the New York Sun, Will spends his days in front of his Power Mac G5 running “The Maxtix”, his mammoth 200,000 track iTunes library.
Will took some time out of his rigirous daily schudule and took some time to talk with me about iTunes, his music collection, and how he manages it."
"This, dear readers, is why I would actually pay for a CD. Whether or not you’re a fan of Nine Inch Nails is not in question, but whether or not you’re a fan of CDs is. Apparently, the new CD is shiny and black before it’s been played, but after a while it changes. Pretty cool stuff don’t you think?
Tech Amok took the time to translate the binary on the back and it brought them to Exterminal, which is a “neat little commentary that I think is at least partially directed at RIAA.” The site also seems to host a bonus track. This really is some pretty neat stuff and Trent Reznor is a fave of mine."
Thank God for Trent Reznor"It is here where we catch up with Ezrin, who has penned a letter damning the lack of art and lust for commerce in today's corporate music industry. The letter praises NIN's Trent Reznor as the master of his own acclaim; a success nurtured seemingly in spite of the record labels. Ezrin remembers a time when the music business was built by "passionate amateurs who revered the artists, and who became their protectors, advocates and promoters."
Having listened through most of the album, I can't say I'm super excited for the CD (what can I say I'm a Downward Spiral kinda guy), but it is solid and I am looking forward to picking it up.

"MultiInspectorFree is a 31 band spectral analyzer designed to be used in a multitrack environment. Based on the technology of FaderWorks to handle multiple dependent instances of the same plug-in, MultiInspectorFree provides an easy way for simultaneous spectral analysis of several audio signals.
The first instance of MultiInspectorFree behaves like a standard 31 band spectral analyzer. Additional instances automatically send their spectral analysis result to all other instances of MultiInspectorFree. Every editor window of MultiInspectorFree shows the same content. Therefore, after opening all necessary plug-in instances it is sufficient to leave just one editor window open. The width and the color of the level bars are adjusted according to the current number of instances.
MultiInspectorFree incorporates a standard third octave frequency analyzer. The centre frequencies of the bands are based on the ISO 266:1997 standard (20 Hz to 20 kHz). Pink noise will appear flat in the frequency spectrum.
MultiInspectorFree supports up to 4 instances at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz."
"Dubbing sessions became necessary as sound was adjusted to the movement, and that meant call-backs for the star voice talent, recorded wherever they happened to be at the time.
“Robin Williams was in San Francisco and Nicole Kidman ended up elsewhere in Australia,” she said.
“We’d have recording sessions over iChat.”
A high point, she said, was working with Williams, who was in usual hilarious form for the recording sessions.
“It was like being at a party – he’d improvise for hours and hours,” she said.
“It was difficult sound-wise; 10 lines of script ends up being four hours of recording.
A lot of it ends up being R-rated. We’d have to do a lot of editing but it was a lot of fun,” she said."
No big whoop on this post. Just my two favorite articulation drill warm ups.After a year of heavy promotions, there is no consumer interest in HD Radio:

"While interest in satellite radio is diminishing, interest in HD shows no signs of a pulse."

"HD Radio on the Offense"
"But after an investigation of HD Radio units, the stations playing HD, and the company that owns the technology; and some interviews with the wonks in DC, it looks like HD Radio is a high-level corporate scam, a huge carny shill."

"RW Opinion: Rethinking AM’s future"
"Making AM-HD work well as a long-term investment is seen as an expensive and risky challenge for most stations and their owners. There is the significant downside of potential new interference to some of their own AM analog listeners as well as listeners of adjacent-channel stations."
