iTunes 7 Music Backup
This is a cool feature. If you’re like me and have lots of music and don’t want to lose it due to a faulty drive (even if it’s backed up) then you can automatically backup your music with iTunes’ new backup feature. The “Only back up items added since last backup” is the best, I wish I had that when I first backed up my music.
Just go to File > Back up to Disc

Today's Guess
These are the Garritan sounds through Sibelius, performing an included demo. Can you guess what this is? I think there is only one contender out there who would know…

News
- Installed all my music apps (and will start with other apps) to skip the “wait time” for UB. Windows runs them at full speed (Sibelius, Pro Tools, Adobe, etc).
- Google Video and Google cache (cached pages) now load in China, wonder in my POP3 JV mail works now.

Update:
Sibelius, Reason, and Pro Tools run on Windows lightening fast. It’s kinda wierd, Tom just switched to Mac, and it looks like I’m switch to Windows (in the interim until Mac goes UB). There are a few little things, like you have to wait extra long for the CD to read, and sometimes everything freezes up for a few seconds while it thinks about something else. I have to say, if the program is the same, it really runs basically the same on a PC. So all that marketing about “Macs are for creative people, blah blah” is just marketing. Same programs dude.
Pro Troolios on my Macbook Pro
I used about 15 plug-ins on many different tracks. I never saw the error message of death. It feels odd operating this program the way it was intended. No system halts. No overloads. No buffer issues. It just works. And it bounces about 20x faster. My favorite upgrade?
The acoustics in the ‘green’ room are a bit reverbalicious, but I kinda like that. So that’s the practice room.

Music Clip #1
It’s about 4% finished, but I thought I just put a post up. Just as a note, it’s all original, meaning, I “hand made” the beat (and didn’t copy a loop or sample.) I know what you’re thinking, ‘Damn, this is fu**** awesome!’, I agree, thanks, there will be more later.
Okay it’s 3:30am I gotta sleep now.

eBay mentality
My eBay auction is up to $73 for something I originally paid $75 for.
What is Garritan?
This is the best way to describe it. While you can tell the difference, I think it’s amazing that it’s already that close.
