Aural delight: Boytronic - Living Without You (VNV Remix)

Nescafe man in drag

I am: amused

info for you Live365-ers (and other streaming heads)

if you're streaming a 56k stream, encode it in MONO please. why? if you encode a stereo stream, you are sending both left and right channels, which reduces the quality of the music by half. if you encode a mono stream, you DOUBLE the music quality.

* a 32 kps stream in stereo is the same quality as a 16k mp3. ie shite *

* a 32 kps stream in mono equates to a 64k mp3. a 64k stream in mono would be the same quality as a 128k mp3. etc etc. *

of course, this only applies to 56k and below streams. hi-res streams don't have this problemo.

well, first up was my disasterous attempt at installing Windoze 2k. Fuck me, i`ve installed Linux from scratch, and that was easy... anyhow, i lost mostly everything on my hard-drives. thank the goddess for cd backups. anyhow..

since then I`ve been bang at my music and working on my new toy... Poser. i LOVE this program. i`ve been working on The Endless (yeah, corny I know). Here is the first one :



the others will appear in this order (going from nearly finished to just started) :

Delirium, Morpheus, Desire, Destruction, Despair, Destiny

keep a look out. gotta catch 'em all! (maybe i should start up some trading cards or something).

anyhow, Jaz needs feeding so i`m off again. i`ll be back more regularly now I have my machine again. what's been happening in the world? summaries please, coz i don't have time to read 3 weeks worth of ALL my friends journals....
