    Are you an Audiophile?

    Just wanted to know if there are folks here that are the type to actively puruse that "ideal sound" in their audio equipment, would hunt down the most pristine recordings of their favorite albums, would prefer lossless over lossy digital audio and would spend hundreds (or thousands?) of dollars...

    Try Bronson out and tell us if it saved your opinion of him :p Why don't you like Tom Hardy in the first place?

    Time Signatures!

    Hm... I'll really need a sample to understand that :) Any similar songs out there that are done in 3/4 and 6/8 time to illustrate the difference?

    Also: How is 3/4 and 6/8 different? :D

    Time Signatures!

    I would do a quick sample of the same drum pattern done in 5/4, 7/8 and 7/4 in Reaper to help us understand it --- but I don't have the time right now. When I have the time and no one's posted an enlightening reply yet, I'm going to do so :)

    Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 7: Group B) [abandoned]

    Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 6: Group D) New set of songs are up! My picks: These Colours Don't Run Genghis Khan The Legacy Powerslave The Edge of Darkness Deja-Vu Powerslave vs El Dorado will be so lopsided. It was as easy to choose as all of the other were hard.

    Yes Tom Hardy does sound awesome! LC have you seen this? If you don't have a favorable impression of Tom Hardy and you haven't seen Bronson, I'm almost sure that seeing it will change your impression of him.

    Re: Iron Maiden "Head-to-Head" Song Tournament (Round 6: Group C) Well there's still 19 hours left at least. I think several more votes will come in before the 48 hours is up ;)

    ooooh. It will be interesting for me to compare how my rankings fare against this. Merci.

    Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown

    ^ Thanks for that LC. This is based on what ranking? What/How many songs were included? I'd imagine the TFF songs weren't included yet.Tailgunner: My impression is that it was low but not THAT low. TEoD: My impression is that it was high but not THAT high. Wow.

    Has anyone here read Moneyball? I was wondering if I would "get it" even if I'm not a big baseball follower. Being made into a film written by Aaron Sorkin starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill & Philip Seymour Hoffman btw. Odd collection of talents imo, but it sounds interesting.

    It's almost like we're on a different forum, guys :huh: I was pretty sure that TEoD is very well received while Tailgunner is the exact opposite here.

    Deconstructing Eddie: My Iron Maiden Songs & Albums Countdown

    I'm sure you enjoy NML as much as you say you do, which is much higher than where I placed it on my countdown... but TBH I think the some throw these kinds of statements around lightly as a sort of kneejerk reaction without realizing how many great Iron Maiden songs really are out there. If they...

    So I finished this tonight and it was really great for the most part. I just thought that the climax was a bit too "crazy." The tone and pacing of the story shifted awkwardly from that point onwards also. I still enjoyed it a lot. I'll watch the John Wayne version tomorrow.
