Of course, I could copy 2TB of files with the 32-bit Carbon version of Finder without any worries, but Apple’s 64-bit Cocoa rewrite of Finder paid off, and it still makes me happy I bought a Mac.
Back when I was a Windows user, copying nearly 2TB of files was a hell. Explorer would fail somewhere [...]

A reason why I love OSX!
Soundcloud – Dreams and Melodies
Arranged in Ableton Live 6 and mastered with Logic Pro 8. I took my friend’s voice and made a song around it. It is designed to be as traditional as possible in regards to the framework, which let me experiment with writing synths and find methods to expand upon the vocals in a mixable track.
Using the 1/4″ TS Unbalanced Effects Output at -10db for excellent mix recording.
I purchased a DJM-600 because it is the de-facto standard for DJ Mixers found at almost every Club and Party I have attended.

I’m really excited, especially now that I have Ableton Live in my studio. With my house cleared out, the sound is up so loud the walls are [...]
Added 5th hard drive to Mac Pro
Per my friend’s instructions he left on his site, I finally added a 5th drive to my Mac Pro. While inside of my Mac, I just had to be amazed at how well it is designed. I tried to figure out how to dissasemble it myself, however I had to use Anandtech’s article to do [...]
RayRay & Lucid – Dreams and Melodies
RayRay & Lucid – Dreams and Melodies started out with the sampling of Lucid’s voice, and exploring what I could do with it from there. About 60 hours of work, I used Ableton Live for arrangement and then fed 20 audio streams into Logic Pro via Rewire to master it using various plugins including Izotope’s [...]
