[NSP] NOT PIPING!

2010-01-21 Thread Anthony Robb

   To anyone familiar with Pro Tools  LE  8.3
   I've spent most of the past week trying to get get this software
   working on a new laptop running Windows 7. Like many out there  it
   won't recocognise the clock from my Apogee Rosetta 200 (even at
   44.1kHz) nor does it won't record for more than 1 minute before OS
   interupts stop it. I've tried the fixes on  the Digidesign conference
   posts including disabling just about everything else on the computer.
   If any of the very clever people on this  list know what might work I'd
   be very grateful.
   This has bugged me to such an extent I even missed the launch date for
   Jimmy's CD (no multi-tasking from yours truly!!). Anyone suggesting
   ideas that prove helpful will receive a copy of this feel-good album as
   a token of gratitude.
   Many thanks
   Anthony

[NSP] Aspiring to play nsp in Michigan

2010-01-21 Thread paradak
Hello to all from snowy Northern Michigan,
 
I would like to learn to play the nsp and have already made some inquiries 
elsewhere to start this process.  Julia suggested posting here to inquire if 
there might be any nsp pipers in my area.  I  live in Harbor Springs, MI, near 
the tip of the mitt.  

I am also beginning to look for a basic 7 key F set.  If anyone knows of a used 
set or loaner (for hire) set, I would be interested in hearing about either.

With regards,

Ken Parada

[NSP] Warning: scam

2010-01-21 Thread Matt Seattle
   I found the following on Amazon for a hefty price -

   Music of Northumbria: Northumbria, Folk music, Border ballad,
   Northumbrian smallpipes, Bagpipes, Fiddle, The Ballad of Chevy Chase,
   Rapper sword, ... Bagpipe, Border pipes, Pastoral pipes (Paperback)
   by Frederic P. Miller (Editor), Agnes F. Vandome (Editor), John
   McBrewster (Editor)
   No customer reviews yet. Be the first.
   Was curious as I'd not heard of the authors or the publisher,
   alphascript - googled them and quickly learnt that the setup is a scam
   which recycles wikipedia articles and packages them as a plausible-ish
   looking book. Your own work may even be in there.

Hi All,

These guys are truly prolific. Over 17,000 titles at Amazon and 5,000 at 
Blackwell. I have written to both.

In all fairness, they do describe it as:
Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 
They make no attempt to hide that fact although whether lifting articles 
from there and then binding them and selling them is legal, I don't know.
Shows it pays to read the description though before parting with large sums 
of cash for what you can get free on the Internet (and, let's face it, the 
Wikpedia is always 100% accurate isn't it?) - (that was meant to be 
sarcastic, by the way).

Good for you to point it out Matt, thanks (puts cheque book away).

[NSP] Not Piping

2010-01-21 Thread Anthony Robb

   Both ide and sata harddrives are compatable.
   Therefore you may have a problem without a second internal harddrive.
   Adrian
   Thanks for that Adrian.
   I've also been told that fire-wire cards other than Texas instrument
   ones can be a problem.
   I think I might put the laptop idea on hold for a month or two!!

Hi Anthony,

Windz 7  does not yet have sufficient drivers or debugging to be fully 
stable, and it will take a while for the third parties to write the low 
level drivers, when and if they get access to the system hooks.
I suggest you boot from a win xp non-install (boot sys cd) cd or linux 
non-install cd and load the software you need via usb into a memory 
diskyou can delete it all by switching off. Or maybe  get all portable 
software on USB to do your work.


Lots of luck with ver 7 or just have patience

cheers
Dave
