Yes, and in four days the spammers will be gone and we can return to our
normal low traffic again.

Most of the spam on this group seemed to stop about 6 days ago but it
was still getting through on <sci.electronics.design> until 18 hours
ago. It seems to have stopped now, hopefully for good ( ...certainly
for better).

John started this thread last Monday 2-19. The last spam entry was on Thursday 2-22. THANKS! to whoever pulled this off. I hope it sticks. I look forward to resuming our eclectic exchanges.

Google did it. They cut their peering connection with usenet. If they
hadn't, many usenet server owners were considering de-peering their end
of the connection, or just killing all posts originating on the Google
servers. Just as we no longer see their posts, Google Groups members
will no longer see ours.

The elimination of received spam before the cut off date was the result
of some heroic programming by many news server admins round the world.

Like spirits with unresolved Earthly business,
we glide through the hallways trying to find
out whether there is really any benefit to sample
rates above 44.1k, and whether Pro-tools does anything
useful that Reaper can't. :)

I would answer "No" to the first one and suggest you could include far
more applications than Reaper in the second.

<Grin> When I am editing or cleaning up a recording, the higher sample
rates let me do a better job. When listening at home, at my age, the HF
limit is in my ears, not the equipment.

As for the Pro Tools against Reaper thing, it depends on what you count
as useful. One good point about Pro Tools, though, is that I can use
files from and send files to just about any professional mixing facility
and know they will drop into their workflow with no trouble, while
Reaper tends to be used more at the home studio end of the market.

This is the only reason I have ever heard for usomg Pro-tools. It does
the same things as dozens of other programs for a higher price and a
more difficult learning curve -- but everyone uses it, so everyone uses
it.

A situation engineered by the Apple maxim (initially at least) of
locking the early market leader to a particular computer and interface
platform (and 'cost') early in the evolution of the technology, gaining
a near impenetrable foothold (as in monopoly) from which escape is
difficult.

There have been several attempt at undiscriminating cross-platform
project file formats, the latest being 'DAWproject' files from Presonus,
which includes pretty much all usable info including plugins and
associated parameters.
