Tune in this Saturday for a Valentines day special edition of the Beatdisease, but be warned, extremely infected beats and two broken hearted greeks mixing in the same studio can produce some pretty serious side effects !!!

Ufot-a heart is a terrible thing to waste

if you use your real name and real life details online, then your information is real to those whom you may not want it to be, even on this site... the internet is a great resource for communication and information, but it is not to be trusted as secure or private for any one... but you could always just slip and fall when getting out of the shower and crack your head open, then it wouldn't matter...

Ufot-noobz, gotta love'em

do you guys smell that??? smells like a trade...


Ufot-here we go, a new habs face :D

roflcopter/// dude, sry, i was just "when in rome" 'ing, :p

ufot-5 carbon particles? dude, thats expensive

I wonder if any djs copywrited there names?

Ufot-rage against the sardine

Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate the help... after hours of deliberation, testing, cord replacements... I even switched my sound card to a different slot, finally, I plugged my amp (sans power bar) and my puter in the same socket and the hum vanished... To me it is definitely because the plugs are not properly grounded, so frustrating, either way, as long as the hum is gone for now, thats all that matters...

The place I moved into is a grey stone building (heritage), so behind the shitty plaster and concrete, I can only imagine the snake nests... though all the plugs are modern and the place is newly renovated, I have a feeling the electrical work was bunk at best... anywy else ever wonder why plugs get installed upsidown??

Ufot-hum dee dum gone!

i dunno, its just so puzzling... all I can imagine it that maybe the power my puter is on is faulty? Thereby sending excess current or run of, which is in turn then picked up and sent by the rca from my internal sound card? I will try replacing the power bar first.

Ufot-damn hum, go away!

ufOT-BANGIN' that damn furnace!!!

just tried that, it didnt make a difference :(

I checked a lot of forums thus far, no ones seems to think that its a computer grounding issue, some people suggest that the internal card may be loose, some said to try adding a rubber bushing to the screw connecting the card?

UFot-wat tha fak, i hate hum

sO,

Since my most recent move, i now seem to be sending a hum to my amp through my mixer... after all of the general trouble shooting tests and cord replacements I could think of, i have isolated the source.... my computer? I'm using gold rca to feed for an input and output from my internal audiophile 2496 (m-audio) straight from my puter to my mixer and I'm getting a hum from both feeds.... I can only assume that its a grounding issue, but i was under the impression that all desktops are grounded?? Could it mean maybe that my soundcard is loose? Any one here have any ideas??

uFOT-hum sound is a terrible thing

i tried for a long time to convince them... they are (or perhaps were) very, VERY, hard to reach...

Ufot-bah, still they sound great

ya, i dont think I've understood that one myself...

Ufot-is it english because its flat and dry??

ya, email seems pretty impersonal, for such a touchy subject(no pun intended), I would suggest da phone... sucky :(

Ufot-infections, they arent always imaginary

vinny if they sound flat to you, maybe you should get dem ears checked??? They have ample output for mixing, last super long time and the pads are nice, big and comfy...

Ufot-noise, we love it

ya...

Ufot-ya...

v600 ftw!!!

Ufot-no they tuffer than tuff

ok... where the fuck does this leave catfish??? why are militant people so damn confused about everything... I bet its cause they dont fart enough... they hold in their frikin gas and get all hot and angry and smelly inside...

Ufot-goshing it up since '79

happy day of celebration of coming out of your moms vagine :D

Ufot-awianne is just so kool xioxix

chopper is the bomb... his book was pretty good...

ufot-cut your own ears off, I dare you...

i mentionned all this crap months ago... geez...

oh ya, and there is a company that does telegrams a la songs and actually has a guy who does the rick-roll thingy for real...

Ufot-memes

god i cant wait to get the interweb back at home... stupid moving...

Ufot-cubicles are grey... well mine are at least...

the price of greed... it affects everyone....

Ufot-be thankful of employment

freedom of speech... hopefully this will be contested, its in violation of the act that allows us to speak freely....

Ufot-trust is a lost cause these days

QFTW

Ufot-i <3 MeLOoDiE

im practicing my skillz buildings walls in the hopes of being able to keep back the mongolian armies... and by mongolian, I'm referring to retarded people, not armies from the region of mongolia... and by retarded people, I'm referring to stupid people on da webz, not people with downs syndrome...

Ufot+beer=win (well, most of the time anyways)

This is a disturbing new epidemic that is affecting children across the nation. Parents often find themselves over compensating for issues they feel guilty about, like working full time, or even divorce. And although they intend to pacify their children with cell phones, video games and over priced shoes, is this what is best for the children? In reality, we are actually hurting our children and society as a whole. We are not allowing our children to develop character. Instead we are raising kids who can not cope and have unrealistic expectations about life. We are sending the message that they deserve things for simply facing adversity...

I was indulging in an episode of Judge Judy when I heard an incredible example of a problem that I believe is ruining our homes, workplaces, and our very culture.

A mother, at the end of her rope, was suing her 24-year-old son for repayment of over $4000 she had loaned him (worse, from her credit card) to buy a car. She'd forgiven the first two car loans she had made him from her life savings, but now the credit card bills were pouring in.

His impressive defense: "She owed this to me because the last car she bought me was a piece of shit!"

This lovely gentleman's attitude? Entitlement.

We expect young children to want what they want when they want it. But it doesn't stop there.

Too, often parents, parents are guilted into trying to meet every perceived need
Teenagers are notorious for expecting the best of everything, despite parents' financial realities. Too often, parents are guilted into trying to meet every perceived need or into rescuing their troubled children instead of teaching responsibility.

Many adults whimper at the slightest inconvenience, delay, or restriction. Why? Because, like toddlers, they are convinced they deserve what they want when they want it.

Many of our workplaces are also poisoned with attitudes of entitlement. In my work with organizations across the country, I hear words that are telltale symptoms.

"What have they done for me lately?"

"This company owes me more than this as an annual raise. After all, I put in my eight hours a day." (Never mind performance.)

"They're not being fair."
(Would you like a little cheese with that whine?)


Let's be honest with ourselves; it may not just be "they". I'd like to inject realistic, healing ideas to inoculate us all from that poisonous "you owe me" disease.

Life's not fair; get used to it!The only fair "thing" in life is a carnival. Things don't always happen the way you planned. People don't always treat you the way you think you should be treated. Someone else may have more than you, though you believe you tried harder.

Don't go to pity parties or get bitter every time you don't get what you think you deserve. That's a recipe for misery.

Stay out of the endless pursuit of "justice". Don't destroy yourself by an obsession with evening the score.

Instead, determine to keep playing fairly with others and doing the right thing, no matter what others choose to do.

Get out of the victim role!
"Chronic victims" are a pain to others and themselves. I'm not talking about people who have been legitimately victimized, yet they work hard to deal with it and move on. Chronic victims are chronic blamers and complainers.

When you hear yourself bemoaning your life, habitually blaming others for your troubles, it's time to do a "response-ability" check. In what ways do YOU have the ability to improve the situation by responding differently?

The world doesn't owe you; you owe the world!
The world owes me" is a false premise. We have so many life-giving, life-enhancing resources and opportunities at our disposal. These are gifts. They deserve our gratitude, not our indifference.

What better way to show our gratitude than to give back? I believe that we are each called and personally equipped to make a difference in this world.

Rather than complaining, let's try to live the words of Mohandas Gandhi: "We must be the change we wish to see in the world."

Ufot-long day at the office.. why yes it has been

wow... and here I was thinking we might actually be getting somewhere... nevermind...

Ufot-if only our sexes excused our inept ways of dealing with reality

" Believe me when I say I know these things. I've been there and done that. I don't have infinite time anymore though. "

um... you are 22(what your profile says), what makes you think you don't have time??? Do you have a terminal illness? Is there an expiry date on your musical talents and abilities? The original comment I made about being patient, thats what I was talking about...

Ufot-well, no, but who knows, might be a maybe some day

it hurts my eyes... then shows me a pedobear...

Ufot-yikes

I shit bricks when I saw this : [ lespac.com ]

what a steal of a deal!!!

Ufot-take that donkey-wrong!

bah,,, you should have asked him why he kicked your dog... and when he hung up, you shoulda called him back and started barking...

Ufot-kicking is kicking, not hitting...

Vegannibal >> I was not shooting you down for having ambitions of living off of your art or music, but being realistic is part of being patient. There is nothing wrong with being able to pay your way while you make music, and trust me it will take a lot out of you, but at the end of the day, you may learn more than you bargained for(I have learned a lot about people and business thanks to all of the non-music related jobs I've had). Combining art income with full or part time employment income can help you not only live well, but afford the quality equipment and resources you need to help form the craft to succeed.

Ufot-responsibility is not a ugly word

if we lived in an ideal world...? Personal responsibility only extends to those who are not controlled by their addictions, it not as simple as trying to get addicts to be accountable, addiction can be a form of disease, of course, you don't have to take my word for it... (makes LeVar Burton face)

Ufot-no, we have no bananas

BwAAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA... zOMG, luke u get +9000 pnts for that post

UFOT-luke, u are an exceptional individual

ya intervention is a pretty intense show, mixed bag of feelings, a lot of the addicts you can easily get upset at, but addiction is never easy to understand, I think the hardest part of watching that show is how the family falls appart trying to fix their member that is suffering from an addiction and the lengths they will go to for that person...

uFot-myranda was also an addict, she said at her peak, her coke habbit was costing her about 500$ a day before the bank forclosed on her house...

isnt there a track on the Akira soundtrack about prons? the lyrics are like "pron-pron (pause) pron-pron"

Ufot-prawns are fish, better left in the water...

ya, I've though about that last way of looking at things myself. I guess I'm speaking partially from experience and opinnion, I feel like the older I get, the harder it is to imagine myself rolling like I used to be able to and still get shit done; if it isn't for the lack of spare time, it's the lack of spare time for recovery... Frankly, I've never understood some people and their apparent ability to do drugs in all types of settings, I used to be stumped by friends who could blaze and do calculous, pretty much because I never could, nor would I ever try, it seemed pointless...

that being said, I've seen how severely drugs can affect people in a negative way, and I can understand why those substances should be "controlled". I don't agree with the current way the governments/law enforcement angencies deal with drugs(in north america), but no control on any substances would probably be a worse reality.

I also think we have a serious problem with prescriptions, chances are the majority of people on this board know some one close or in a circle of friends who is either hooked or has been hooked on prescriptions, some of the stats from the states are appauling... oxyconten is by far one of the worst regulated prescriptions on the market today, and doctors should be held fully accountable for miss or over precribing it....

Ufot-scary is synthetic heroin in a pill form

the last time I played at Laika, their sound tech had the tracktor sound box pre-installed, I didn't even have to bring mine, it was awesome, I just plugged in my laptop, chose the propper channels and bam... Personally, I'm excited for more clubs to have either serato or traktor sound boxes pre-installed in setups, makes life easier for those who use it and does not affect anything for those who don't, just an added option which makes a booth that much better...

Ufot-the future is where Im at

no strategy is guaranteed if luck is part of the game... I think luck is the number 1 winning factor with poker, number 2 would be skill, but I've sick poker players get smoked by noobs with luck...

Ufot-when there is chance, skill takes the back seat\

wow, with current prices the way they are, sounds like you got a great deal noah...

Ufot-I hate renting...

thats part of the equation, but there are so many other factors... truthfully drugs for the masses aren't a good idea, though some of the best art ever made was drug-aided, all of the best engineering/science has little or nothing to do with being high...

Ufot-our gratest advances may have happenned by mistakes, but they were not drug induced ones...
