It now has a 2.5 litre straight six in it, basically a TR6 engine without the petrol injection. Original seats but a Cowon iAudio A3 playing prog-rock FLACs through a modern CD player. Can't hear the music for the damn loud sports exhaust, but who cares! I must sample it and use it in a track some day, but Green Spitfire doesn't have quite the same ring to it as Red Barchetta... Q

I plan on diving back in, but be warned I'm a very slow worker -- being a frustrated perfectionist is no help in getting things done quickly either :D I've posted this over on the KVR Audio forum as well and someone there suggested going into a heavier, more rocking section. Sadly, the two loud sections are probably about as heavy as I get -- there will be further loud/heavyish segments but none more loud (my 11 is too quiet!). I also have a bit of an aversion to straightahead/"real" rock. You have made me think, though, that a loud section might be a wise move, going loud/loud rather than always alternating loud/quiet. I was really pleased at how smoothly and natural-feeling the 13/8 section turned out. Ever since I learnt what a buchimish was (it's a Bulgarian dance), I've wanted to do something in that rhythm. It's actually 15/16 time rather than 15/8: 2+2+2+2+3+2+2, or as I count things taka taka taka taka takita taka taka Thanks again. Best wishes Q

Re: [LAU] UbuntuStudio and M-audio transit (USB audio interface)

by Peiman Khosravi

After hours of fiddling I got it to work!! I had to change the madfuload rule for the transit. This forum helped: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=846621 But note that the code: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0763", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2804", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/madfuload -l -3 -f / usr/local/share/usb/maudio/ma004103.bin -D $env{DEVNAME}" Is wrong. It should be (at least on my system): ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0763", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2804", RUN+="/usr/sbin/madfuload -l -3 -f /usr/ share/usb/maudio/ma004103.bin -D $env{DEVNAME}" Thanks!
