[Herb Sevush] “I have a PC networked to my Mac mostly so I can still use Sound Forge, my swiss army knife of audio editing and processing. Great program.
“Indeed. I kept a PC going that way for a few years, but entropy finally broke the bridge. I also got quite a bit of use out of Acid.

What year did I start?
“Tony, how would I possibly know? But I look at your picture and you seem to be reasonably young. I was working major events like the Academy Awards back in the early ’80s. So, if it turns out that I’m wrong, and you have in fact been working on those kind of shows for that long then I apologize and congratulate you on your youthful resilience.

[David Roth Weiss] “[Chris Harlan] “Though I’m guessing the story is a bit fanciful and a bit tongue in cheek. I love the punch line”
Actually Chris, the story is 100% true, and 100% accurately reported.
Both Mrs. Smith and Scott Wing really did exist, and the quote, “Like a woman’s skirt, it must be long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep it interesting,” was so memorable that I remember it today like it was yesterday.
It’s certainly one of the best coming of age moments I can remember from grammar school, and I wrote it into a script for coming of age movie that, so far, has never been produced.
“Well, I just love it.

“While I agree with you in spirit, I have to say–having both a 2008 8 Core and a new Macbook Pro 17–that this divide isn’t as clear to me as it once was. The Macbook Pro, when paired with TBolt and full RAM, is pretty competitive with the 2008 Mac Pro. No question a new machine or even the last couple of iterations of the Mac Pro would blow the lid off of the Macbook Pro, but I’m finding the 2008 no longer earns an “any day.”

[Don Walker] “Third Grade? Term Paper? Really ? And I thought it was rough writing a term paper in 11th grade!
“Don, he said theme paper which is very different than a term paper. A theme paper would be about “cats” or “honesty.” Though I’m guessing the story is a bit fanciful and a bit tongue in cheek. I love the punch line, though.

[Shawn Miller] “Sonar X1 is my main DAW,”
I was heavily in to Cakewalk and then Sonar a decade ago. Really great software. I only moved off of it because on my rather forced move to the Mac. I was also a big fan of all the Sonic Foundry (now Sony) stuff.

It’s just you.I don’t really enjoy conversing with you and you don’t enjoy conversing with me, yet you keep sniffing around my post seeking to communicate with me.
I find that behavior………weird.
“Wow. Tony its a forum. We comment on each other’s posts. When we find something we disagree with, we say it. I promise you, I have absolutely no interest in you in any way that involves “sniffing around.” To reiterate what this whole gnarly thing is about–I’ve personally worked on a number of event shows that have more than four ISOs in addition to a rough mix. You were strongly implying that most of those things top out at 4. I disagreed with you. How the conversation got to all of the places you took it, I have no idea.
I will try heartily not to post on any of your comments unless I find something that I really disagree with. Then, I’ll post.

[Herb Sevush] “To take him literally he’s also anti coca cola and anti babies”
Just make sure you keep Diet Pepsi out of this. Some thing should just NOT be mocked.
