Recording software for Mac?

They don't. Many people have left Usenet groups
like this one because of the restricted range of
discussion,

The easiest way to kill an audio group is to have too much OT discussion,
and too much "My stereo sounds better than yours because I say so".

In other words, they find it tediously repetitive and
boring!

If its an audio group, then people should talk about audio. There are plenty
of music discussion groups elsewhere.

And I know from e-mail correspondence that people who
lurk here get the impression that this is a pool of
piranhas, just waiting for some poor unwary soul to
mention valves, vinyl or "better" speaker cables:-)

Those discussions inevitably turn into "My stereo sounds better than yours
because I say so".

As far as vinyl goes, there is a uk.rec.audio.vinyl that is dying, and for
tubes there is rec.audio.tubes. Neither group seems especially healthy.

The big problem with vinyl and tubes as discussion topics is that there has
been no meaningful new technology in either area for over 30 years.

Didn't you notice the peace and quiet? :-)

You've certainly got your own way - the signal to noise ratio is such
with off topic stuff from you that it's becoming like the mac group
you're complaining about. But of course can't see it.

Better to be signal in a group where other people are noise, than noise
in a group where other people are irritated by it.

I can't speak for others here, but I'm so irritated by the OT stuff from
one person that I only now glance at it. Although of course this topic is
perfectly ok.

More to the point, despite the presence of noise in uk.comp.sys.mac,
it's not hard to eliminate, and you'll actually get some answers there.

I'd have thought so - although I don't have a Mac. The RISC OS groups are
very good, though. Dunno why the audio groups all round the world suffer
in the same way.

Let's keep a perspective on this, Iain - there are only 3 whiney little
piranhas here and one of those is an 'import'!

Despite the existence of pro and tech groups elsewhere, they would prefer
this group was restricted to a tight little range of technical (mostly
electronic) questions from a steady trickle of grateful numpties kneeling at
their feet for the dispensation of wisdom and a pat on the head!

Tough titty...

'Course he *****ing does*....

What a ****!

'Bout time he invented another 'best friend' with a 'connector problem' to
trigger the techno****s for a little 'group reassurance' therapy....

Xenophobia is common among the lower classes...

You really do like to attempt to 'transfer' your own flaws to others,
Kitty. It's called a lack of self esteem. The reaction with many who
suffer from this - and beautifully shown by you - is to try and put down
others. And if they react unfavourably have the classic reaction of saying
they're going to ignore them. But of course in practice sneak a look as
much as possible. Because what they really want is their approval.

Interesting presentation of technical incompetence as other than a fault...

Interesting in the sense that odd pathologies can sometimes be amusing for a
little while.

If you knew anything about it you'd find most have left because their ISP
no longer supplies news. And can't be bothered finding it from elsewhere.

Are you in contact with former member of UKRA?
I have occasional correspondence with several.

Surely this e-mail group you mention so often is ideal for the sharing you
seem to want among 'friends'? Especially as it seems to include so many
'nice' people who won't post here?


Most of them did post here at one time, or I wouldn't have
got to know them:-)
