Yea, I've been using Sonar for 8 years and see no reason to switch.
I am of course quite familiar with Pro-Tools, but I'm not sure it would be better live than Sonar, especially since the vast majority of my synths are VST (and Pro-Tools, like Logic, doesn't like VST).
I use an M-Audio Axiom midi controller in the studio that I'm sure would work fine live.
But hey, I effing love Kontakt!!! Gimme your email address and I'll send you a sample of me loving it.Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -
I grew up playing in bands until I opened my own studio (it was my high school job :o) and eventually started producing work for local artists. I've been working in the studio with Sonar and tons of soft-synths for a while now. Just wondering how to go about translating this all to the stage- I don't even know where to start in terms of software, logistics of performing (perform and loop parts, then layer? Or just pick a part of the song to play and pre-record the rest?). Stand-alone softsynths live? Totally comfortable in the studio, totally confused live.
Also, I should note that I'm not really working with loops/samples, unless you count sample-based "synths," such as Kontakt.Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -
Greets, all. I've been making electronic music for a number of years and am recently becoming increasingly interested in performing live.
I'm wondering if anybody here makes electronic music, and if so, whether you perform live. I have some questions that Dr. Google is having a hard time with!Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -

Really? Unusual for a skydiver, many are as attracted to the water as we are the sky! both fluid enviroments...
I have developed a phobia of natural waters, and anything manmade in water. I love swimming in my mom's pool, but I can't go near that filter! Thing's creepy.
And don't even try getting me to swim in a lake, pond, creek, canal, or (worst) quarry.
Oceans I can (kind of) do.Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -
lol. thanks for the explanation.

This thread is 10x better now that it's been revived.Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -
QuoteQuoteI can't believe the bulk of this thread has become a competition over the better value of welding versus surgery.
It's strangely compelling shit.
Note that the Romans managed to build extensive infrastructure without welding. But they did have surgeons.
And the question shouldn't be which has greater value to society. It's which is more replaceable if all its participants got up and quit.
I agree. Can we switch to politics, religion, or boobies?Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -

QuoteSo which is the better food: grapes or nachos? Only one may prevail.
(It's a trick question. The answer is "boobies".)
Depends. Is a grape a berry?Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -
QuoteReally ?!? Sounds like a fairly broad classification to me. So you would trust a Urologist to perform open heart surgery on yourself or another family member. Good luck with that.
No, but I'd trust him with my kidney. :o]QuoteCan a surgeon prevent the catastrophic deaths of hundreds of people at the same time?
Maybe, but probably not.
That's my point:QuoteAlso, I feel there's a huge difference between having the potential to end a life and having the potential to save a life.
You're talking about avoiding conditions that could potentially lead to injury or death.
I'm talking about saving the life of a dying person.Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -
Also, I feel there's a huge difference between having the potential to end a life and having the potential to save a life.
Anybody can kill large sums of people while acting negligently, and it doesn't have anything to do with profession.
Could a weldor save a dying person? Maybe, but probably not.
Could a surgeon save a dying person? Absolutely- in fact, that's the job description.Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -

Now that surgeon deserves every dollar he makes. I hope your dad is doing well.
If they all did that then there would be far fewer mistakes. Fewer mistakes would lead to lower insurance which would let them earn more while working less. But that is probably too simple an idea and will never catch on.
Not all surgeons have quite the same luxury- certainly this is only possible for elective- or at least planned- procedures.
Simpler does not always = better.Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -
I, too, am a Libertarian.
Mostly, though, because I believe in personal freedom; there are many political stances held by the party that I don't really agree with. I think that, for many of them, a view in either "direction" could be extrapolated from a viewpoint supportive of freedom of the individual and smaller government.Come, my friends!

Sorry, you are mistaken. There is no way to condition a human into a super human. There is no way to condition a person to avoid the cumulative effects of sleep deprivation combined with stress.
Give me some time to dig up the article, but I recently read a paper in which the investigators found that those who consistently sleep less than 8 hours/night enter stage 3 and 4 sleep significantly faster than those who sleep "enough," and remain in those stages longer.
Chronophysiology and biological rhythms are of immense interest to me, and this is something I'm going to look more into! I hope the paper I read is accurate (I read it in passing, more or less); I'd hate to be under the knife of a sleep-deprived surgical resident who can't deal with it!Come, my friends!

QuoteYes, I did miss her job description.
And I have never met her.
As I mentioned, I have worked many weeks over 100 hours and know just how ineffective a person becomes from sleep deprivation. Motor skills and judgement deterriate, concentration wanders, etc.
Sorry and nothing personal, but no thank you.
Not necessarily true. Residents work outrageous hours for a reason- it's called conditioning.
Just as a mountain climber must go up a mountain slowly to allow his lungs time to adjust to lower air pressure (by developing more alveoli and increasing efficiency of profusion), so does a surgeon develop more efficient sleep cycles.Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -
QuoteQuoteQuoteYoiu want a surgeon cutting you open that is will to work foe bottom dollar?
Surgeons earn every penny!
I did not request they be paupers, or work for an outrageously low salary; just that they are paid an outrageously high salary. (But very typical for some here to put words in other people's mouths).
I understand there are many factors that go into their salary; and the salary is what I am criticizing - not the integrity of the people or the quality of their work.
When the median is nearly 200% of the next highest, there is something very wrong.
What if they work hours twice as long as the next highest? Most of the whiners on here couldn't BEGIN to work those hours, with the same stresses. Surgeons earn every penny they make. Be grateful you have them.

I am currently working towards an MS in Biomedical Engineering in hopes to become a surgeon, and I already work way too much.
Specifically, in the field I hope to go into (neurosurgery), surgeons typically work 100+ hour weeks.
In terms of hourly pay (based on this report), a surgeon makes about as much as a "bank officer."
Generally, I don't expect I'd be comfortable putting my life in the hands of a bank officer.Come, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -

I'd like to see that regulation, because if it's true there's a lot of grounded rigs on planes in this country every weekend.

I was under the impression that each ball was drawn from a separate container (i.e. with replacement). I'm not sure where to find out, haha. The MegaMillions site is all kinda crazy right nowCome, my friends! 'Tis not too late to seek out a newer world! -
The last number (42) is drawn from a pool of balls numbered 1 through 46. The rest are numbered 1 through 56.
They are mutually exclusive events, so:
P=1/((56^3)*46) = 1/8,078,336
