I just put in an offer for a house. In the next couple of months, this is most definitely going to become my newest obsession as well. Sooooooo looking forward to it! |

Current obsession? Aspergers and autistic spectrum disorders. Tangentially, I am also studying other disorders of the brain to learn better what makes it tick and so that I can have intelligent conversations about it.

| i just got a neat bit of software called roland r-mix which is a fascinating way to edit sound visually, to isolate the individual elements of a sound mix [it works even in mono] and rechannel them/repan them differently in a new stereo mix. this can be used to convert old monophonic recordings into genuine stereo ones even. fascinating |
