How
to Create Professional Aluminum Wire Armatures
If
your puppets don't have a good armature, it's as good as a lifeless
lump of dirty clay. Make sure your puppets don't fall over by properly
making a sturdy armature that will last! Click

Sorry not sure where to reply to comments so replying here -
"You should still be able to get all of the data off if the drive itself isn't damaged -- might even be able to jury rig a USB connector just to save your data! A lot of external drives are IDE drives in an enclosure with a USB connector, so maybe you will get lucky."
- hopefully it's savable! The design of the drive http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://skattertech.com/media/2007/09/segate-freeagent-desktop.jpg&imgrefurl=http://skattertech.com/2007/09/seagate-freeagent-desktop-review/&h=1019&w=825&sz=6 67&hl=en&start=1&sig2=R4iStGm-FYYRYo6N4eTkMg&um=1&tbnid =EBeQ7qu0L2UFKM:&tbnh=150&tbnw=121&ei=4cs5SK7tFojiggK8-fC3DQ&am p;prev=/images%3Fq%3Dseagate%2Bfreeagent%2Bdesktop%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26cli ent%3Dfirefox-a%26channel%3Ds%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DN apparently makes it supposedly impossible to fix the problem without messing up the drive? But tomorrow I drop it off and they'll take a shot at it - I'm soo tempted to just cut away the case but it'll void my warranty. The 1TB is tempting!! they're getting really affordable too.
What would you like to know about my audio software, specifically? I am planning on doing some basic audio tutorials at some point.
wondering if the plugins you mentioned will work with any of my programs. also im not the best at navigating the progs.
I'm not familair with Acid and Fruity Loops (they are more geared for loop-based audio) but Sonar 3 is very very old and probably can't load something like Philharmonik. If you get Reaper, which I mentioned in my last blog post), it will handle more modern plugins like Philharmonik. Reaper is free to use for non-commerical use and is at least as good as Sonar (actually, I prefer it over Sonar).
Also, for Philharmonik, you'd want to get yourself a good music notation editing application like Sibelius or Overture that can load VST plugins. Sonar's music notation editor is terrible.
yo man, well actually this hopefully will be a paying job, but it all depends if we get some things going and moving, like post up the videos on revver and put it on DVD...
Hey idragosani, nice to see you over from the SMA.com boards! I've rated you 9 ( the extra one is going for me,eh?) Hehe, you should get some music up here!
