As a bassist that sings, I can tell you how I do it.

When it gets to the place where I have to sing, I play really easy bass parts. 

How guys like Les Claypool and Geddy Lee do it...  My guess is there is witchcraft involved, or that they are actually robots.

And Oregon State beats Wisconson!

Good week overall for the Pac-12, LSU's 41-3 drubbing of my Huskies not withstanding.

Border Collies are great dogs.  I wish we were home enough to have a dog, but we aren't. 

They cut T.O. last week.   Dude tweeted it, which is surprising because I'm sure he dropped his phone before he could send it.

*snerk*

I set one up.

Anyone that wants to play let me know and shoot me an email address, and I'll send the invite to you.

Autodraft on the 2nd of Sep, 10 teams.  I can expand or shrink that to meet demand.

Organized?

If that is the case, you have too many items running at once.  Take a look at the menu bar on the right.  If you have a ton of little icons down there, that is what is taking up all your resources.  Start turning them off one by one and see what happens.

Computers don't "slow down" as they get older.  They just get more and more crap installed that consume more and more resources, leaving less for the things you actually want to do.  Everything seems to have some sort of "monitor" program that is going to help you out in some way, but really all it does is consume memory and disk.

Try this on Windows.  Go to your control panel and select "add/remove programs."  Look at the list and sort it by frequency  of use.  If there is anything on there that you haven't used within 90 days, uninstall it.  When that is done, run your disk defrag, restart your machine, and see if that doesn't give you a bit more performance.

The expense in a webcam goes into the optics, not the audio.  Those things will have little tiny microphone diaphragms in them that are designed more for conversational levels than music recording.

I also have an MR-8 and really dig it, especially for recording mobile.   I last used it to record these bits live, described here http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=19192.   My only issue with the MR-8 is that it uses compact flash cards rather than SD, and the USB connections don't play well with my Mac.  I'm thinking of getting one of the new Tascam portables for next year.

At home I use a Tascam US-800 interface into my mac, and use Reaper as my DAW.  If I need more than those 6 inputs I also have a Berhinger X2222 mixing board and Pyle 800W powered speakers that I can use as either a PA or wedge floor monitors.

I'm pretty happy with it.

I love that man.

I've become an Apple devote as well.  I record with my Mac mini all the time, and it's great for what I do.  I'd sometimes like to have a bit more I/O throughput, but other than that, I've no complaints.
