The Logic Off Topic list

Hi All,

I've noticed these two OT subjects have been doing the rounds on the main
Logic list for some time now, and I'd like to add my 1/2p worth - in the
proper place- the OT list!

CD burning

The only thing I can say for sure is that some of my friends cheapo CD
players will not play 4X burnt CD's wheras 2X play fine, although 2 of these
people had their lazer on the player re- aligned, and this helped.

My CD player- a rather better than average one (Arcam Alpha 5) has played
absolutely every CD I have burnt- including audio CD's recorded onto CD-RW,
wheras my Sony portable CD player will play all CD-R's but refuses to touch
audio CD-RW's, shame as this is a neat way of testing a mix on different
audio systems before permanently burning a CD. Any ideas?

POD

As a guitarist of some 20 years playing in bands (and 15 years experience of
playing gigging all sorts of styles of music). I have not noticed any
significant latency- certainly no worse than playing a large hall and having
your amp 10- 20 feet away. The sounds are all brilliant! The brit blues,
when recorded does sound like my amp (a Marshall Bluesbreaker) recorded very
well, through a good mike.

I guess, a skilled engineer, with a selection of mikes, and pre-amps could
achieve better results by miking up the amps modelled, but I would guess not
much. Just the convenience of the thing- plug it in- and it sounds great!-
makes it well worth it for recording, and obviates the need for neighbour
annoying amp volume levels.

Cheers
