Lolz ....hehehehehehe huhuhuhuhuhu hahahahahahaha hohohohoho smh .... Is this a joke or somfin ..... How can they be complaining about a SR of 24bit/192khz.. Thats preposterous







Everything concerning the standard n Highly recommended sample rate doesn't exceed 24bit

Tho There are 32bit soundcards but u dont need Em

And for the Khz 192 is the Best ....


As per your Engineers ..... I dont Even know what to say to them..









They need to Fix themselves



But b4 we judge .....
It'd would be better to give us a lil tip about the DAW and the spec of the PC .....
you use in your studio

Guy, me I don judge this one o. E no matter. Make dem dey use Pro Tools Infinity or Cubase SX99... nothing within the context of the regular dem dey do go justify subbing 192 Khz unless they are doing sound design for a futuristic Hollywood Sci Fi blockbuster or making material and mixing for an intergalactic party that will use NASA's secret HiFi system that they arranged the technology to build it from 2099!

ChiomaUdemba:
The PC is Dell 2.66ghz(2CPus) 2.7Ghs processor.
Window xp 32 bit.

@ChynoBEATS was also asking for which software (DAW) your people are using like Cubase, Pro Tools, FL, Logic, Studio One...

Meanwhile @ChiomaUdemba, which sound card is currently being used and which other gear if applicable?

The PC you stated OK, just OK but no optimal but that is also largely dependent on the CPU load their mixing pulls. If it's just the rugular, fine. But for more intense work - if needed or suiting to the needs - a no less than a Core i5 processor with other attendant specs or a Mac would be nice.

ChiomaUdemba:
thanks overboard, I appreciate.

Pleasure!

What, they want to mix at a higher sample rate? No need bro, just change the engineers...

Why?

Though I'm no advocate of a 44.1 kHz, I myself only dithering to that rate (and toning down bit rate from 24 to 16, CD quality) for final masters, it is curious however, that your engineers should claim that the sample rate of 192 kHz not being enough is cause for not mixing well. That excuse is super lame. They are not using 48 or 96 BUT f***ing 192 kHz and saying that rate is not letting their jobs shine, SCAM ALERT, WASH!!!

Look at it critically, what does anything more than 92kHz do really? It offers greater bandwidth which in itself confers no reasonable value after 192 kHz and it is even more useful when tracking... it is even not hotly debated but generally agreed that higher than regular 92kHz is detrimental to audio quality sound! Our ears sef no dey pick much after 44kHz, what's the point. Something, that 'll be likely finally taped to mp3 before reaching the public.

Look, let me not delve far, dem no sabi work, kpom!

If they need lessons in mixing, the right way that is, let them say. Wetin dem wan use again 384khz? Jokers!!!

If you need the best Analogue to Digital converter sound cards though, PT HD, RME series, Lynx and Apogee you can get. But change your mixing team first!

I just feel so bad. I knew him when I was in school and I think I've talked about him on NL before. I always hailed him just to get a pass and he seemed to like me somehow...

Better hail than feel a hail of bullets innit?

Hmm, I no get mind abeg!

Well, RIP. Some may not agree with the 'P' in the RIP though.

I find it hard to believe that he wasnt aware of this, but I dont know how he manages his business ventures. Its possible that he designated this to various MDs and is only interested in the end of year financials. He could be getting quarterly financials which 'mask' the fact that workers were not getting paid.

Unlikely but possible.

@OP. Please forgive me to laugh small... haaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

OK, now seriously as I know you are not in the mood to laugh...
Ask her if she has any relative she can reach out to and tell her the truth about how you feel i.e. you just wanted a good time (ha!) and you are scared this may turn into something else if she doesn't get better help and you are not empowered enough to do that.

If you do perceive she wants to hang this burden on you for whatever fetish reason, don't ask her yet o! First, ensure you have unbridled access to her phone and clone ANY or ALL contacts that seem relevant to her. If she doesn't buckle after you politely state your case, do the needful yourself.

It is truly dangerous to keep her there though it would be an honourable thing to help see her through this ordeal but that is if you were able financially and not on this illicit-Badoo-coitus mission. These days, things are really happening that at times, its a task to even be one's brother's keeper. We go sha try sha.

What people don't get is that it doesn't matter who is the better musician/entertainer. If your work is stolen, it hurts. It doesnt matter by who. Plagiarism/copyright infringement is a serious crime. I mean taking someone else's intellectual work is really really annoying.

I confided in someone about some project idea I had and was still gathering materials for it only for the same person to come to me with a friend's work years later. Not only did the person give her friend my ideas, but the friend also did a shoddy piece of assemblage and I just shook my head. I confronted the confidant and as expected I got denials.
Artists steal everyday. Just give any of them your demo tape and the next week you are listening to a new single from the artist with your work modified and adapted to his style. And when you raise ruckus, people will say you are trying to ride on the thief's success and launch your career.

Let me know your drink, I'll find a way for it to reach you. Kpom!

Iranu Abacha

Ha, ha, ha... on point

Tolexander:
Those praising Abacha, calling the loot, a reserve are myopic!

If Abacha had not died, what would happen to the loot?
Still a reserve abroad I guess?

Guy, inasmuch it is a sad thing for a nation to have such mentally bent individuals who plundered the public coffers for self use as Gen. Sani Abacha, I appreciate that we as Nigerians at times can find some humour in disturbing national issues in a bid to stay sane. What we should rather do is take action collectively but let's joke a little.

I was just crying (physically) on a burning personal issue but did find some succor in the funny twist to the $300 million being returned - which in itself alone is a good thing at lease. It serves as tonic, OK.

Ease up, eh!

Cheers!

Boyooosa:
Bro, I am not disputing your view nor approach but i swear my experience on dis particular issue is gr8a dan urs cos u were successful taking a risk but I wasnt and its still hunting me up till now. And I swear by the Creator of life, I just dropped the girl's call b4 I put on my system around 5:45 a.m dis morning, we spoke 4 more dan 50 mins, she was d 1 dat cald. It goes like dis... We met around May 2005 and we were in love. I loved her dat I agreed to wait till our wedding night (part of our discussion dis morning; I reminded her the day she was begging me for sexx in my room and I refused her because of our vows, she laffed and begged me not to mention it again and I stopped... this is not Nollywood, am telling you my experience as at dis morning, I swear wit all I AM in life). So my point is experience varies! Shorter story ... She gave in to another (smarter guy - lol) in the process and the guy helped me to dis-v her and dat spoil our relationship cos she couldnt come back to me with 'broken egg' and moreover she was LUST into that relationship. Unfortunately for her, the guy came up wit the animal in him and beat her severally b4 they broke up. She came back to me after their break up (she was confused, perplexed and helpless), we reconciled and I had my turn too (d reserved sexxx) but couldnt get along and broke up again for another 2 years. We reconciled recently and she told me about another guy who took advantage of her again within those two years we were off (I couldnt blame her cos somebody dat has tasted it can never stop). My Lesson: I was careless to have allowed her have her 'first' somewhere else. I love her and knows her background, she is not a cheap girl but I did not pay attention or I paid less attention when she needed me most and I allowed her to go wayward, she was 20 then and very tender, she was a V (the Virginn)then, but now, has lost the main V, the woman VALUE cos of dat error but I pray she doesnt loose it all, the most valued V, the VIRTUE. Summarily, it might work for you but might NOT work for the op, @ op but my perception according to my experience is dat, get closer to her, find money, do introduction, stay together and have big SEXX / BANG and probably impregnate her if you can afford for now and u r sure u love her and can stay wit her for the rest of ur life. Marriage might not be dat Compulsory most especially in this present economic situation in Nigeria... Introduction and formilization of ur relationship might be important (God will as well help u wit fantastic wedding.... Ceremony . God will bless you, call the girl NOW, have sexx wit her NOW and let her know why u r doing dat. Some boiz are desperately out there, masturbating now and expecting her to make the mistake u r pushing her to, if it happens u will blame urself later just like the way am blaming my self now cos I know that the value of the girl has drastically dropped and my love for her is casual, I hope she is not reading dis cos she will loose hope of getting married to someone she actually love. Sorry for my long story, just tryn to prove that I know wot am texting and av practical experience. U might be deceived by my first comment cos it was short, precise and delicate! safe Bro!

Bro, I have laff tire! Bad boy... LoL!

I know you sincerely want to help @op based on your experience o but the point I didn't elucidate on is the fact that sex before marriage is like stealing your own cake. It also IMO increases the affinity to look outside with the back-of-the-head thought that you had eaten the same pudding before the wedding and you're still eating same in marriage only formalizing it for the public.

You see, sex is a very powerful tool in marriage. Even if the bride and groom were not virgins before tying the knot, there is a sense of a new experience if both parties abstain from c-o-i-t-u-s. This alone can in no small measure cement some marriages - in concert with other factors - for longer and for some, 'til death do them part. Imagine that fresh feeling + true love + fear of God - earthly utopia men!

For instance, I have a friend that till today, perhaps the singular beautiful thing in his marriage is that he met his wife a virgin! Much else na tolerance o... I'm not saying that non-virgins are condemned o but rest the "faka fiki, faka fiki, you dey spoil your yansh" - thanks to Black Reverendz.

You may think I'm being funny but do you know that I regret not being a virgin before marriage? I'm not even 40 yet and sex is greatly over-rated as they say for me! I love my beautiful wife but it's like the burning fire for copulation had been spent illegally. If I 'do' 5 times a month (even when freshly married), that's a good month but when we dey chop like say we no go see am again - though I still had great self control then and it was for a limited period in my growing up years - it was like 3 or 4 times a week. I even dey fear for some of the 'victims' husbys...

@op, why not keep some for the deserving one? Another mama is on the way and believe me, that love you think you'll lose, you are capable of finding it for someone else.

Boyooosa:
Marry her NOW or Sexx her NOW!









Or you lose her NOW!

Choi, you people ehn, LOL.

My brother, let go. Let her know what you are about to do and then let her go. If she threatened to get it elsewhere, you may never be comfortable with her again even if she eventually agrees to hold herself; if she's not a virgin, you may forever be suspicious.

You see, activating the sex factor in one's life before marriage - not even talking about religious/Christian values here - alters a lot. You've tasted it before and you'll always want it and only great will (and God's help if you heed) will deter you.

I can sense that you and her have had sexual experiences with other people, right? You want to abstain based on personal principle and for the likely fact that you don't want to dip into your forever treasure, right? If true, sounds like me.

I bowed to pressure even though I had a solid relationship with God and had a couple of partners 'til I was 'bought back'. Now, meeting the one I would eventually marry, we both abstained 'til after marriage. It was hard for me but thank God for his help, my resolve and my wife. Not everyone may be that lucky.

Toh, I tire... 'if the bread don't cut, put the knife in'.

Please help me tell Nigerians about the use of period in abbreviations. Even respected individuals, companies, media houses et al are fond of ending acronyms derived directly from first letters of namings at the second to the last letter i.e. World Health Organization, W.H.O which is wrong. It should be W.H.O.

The truncated use of period before the last letter of the abbreviated acronym should simply not be used in formal communication and even in non-formal circles, why the laziness i.e. M.I which is derived from Mister Incredible? OK. Let's let that one pass since in some instances and though I hate to admit it, it can look nice given the font and design. But, a good example of annoying case to me is Tiwa Savage's new album title concept which I love but for the halting of the use of period in R.E.D

Since each letter represents a word shortened, why not complete its short form using same format i.e. R.E.D.

2. Another thing I noticed is the lack of knowledge in placing punctuation within construction. I'm not even talking of its grammatical use but its spatial positioning.

A good example is the bold below:

I'm the meanwhile , I will be checking up on them or I'm the meanwhile ,I will be checking up on them

Notice the placement of the comma ','. its alignment is wrong. It should be the next item after 'meanwhile' then a space before the next construction as seen in the bold below:

I'm the meanwhile, I will be checking up on them

This rule I believe applies to all punctuation save for the '-', that is, the dash where its position is best with a space before its use and after its use, more like centrally put if between clauses:

The singing trio - Tunde, Hammed and Obinna - were accosted for their role in the heist

However, the use of the hyphen which is often time indistinguishable from the dash is mainly for compound words and there is absolutely no need for spacing i.e. thirty-three, so-called...

Let's no get into the absolutely despicable use 'i'. Since even reputable organizations can use it wrongly, who will tell others not to. The only way I have forgiven using the small i as against 'I' is for special effect and it can't even be overstretched...

My 2 kobo.

MrProducer:
Visit www.native-instruments.com

Then download the free kontakt player + factory selection.

Follow the installation process. Go back to where you saved your embertone sax and emotional pia o. Move them to a new folder (where your future libraries will be saved).
Run your daw, load kontakt player, click add library, browse through the folder where your libraries are saved, select any library, click ok. If you get "no library found" because embertone sax will do that. Come back to this thread and read from the top.
Good luck

Mr.Producer, so Kontakt Player is sufficient for those libraries? Some of my libraries usually need the full Kontakt engine. Dunno...

@ DavidGodwin, try what MrProducer said... we'll see where it goes from there.

DavidGodwin:
Pls sir, how do I go about it? Sorry for disturbing U sir.

Drop the 'sir'.

You in Lagos?

DavidGodwin:
Emberton Sax, Emotional Piano, Acous6ix strings. I don't even know how to install them on my pc cos I can't find the set up files in them

1 and 2 are powered by Kontakt so you'll need to get something like nI Kontakt 4 or 5. I'll try and find out about Acous6ix, I'm not sure if I had heard of it.

DavidGodwin:
Funny u. I have some plugins but they seem not to work. Checked online and I saw this same Kontact. Are u a music producer?

Yes indeed. Just like Mr.Producer but I do other things as well.

List the plugins that don't work

DavidGodwin:
Please what is kontact?

When you play ball and your body touches an opponents... just joking!

It's is one of the favourite music samplers and players for samples and sound libraries. It is made by Native Instruments and many reputable sample library and software manufacturers publish their products in the format.

Good to know I have a manager ? Pardon me but I don't understand

Oh my bad, I thought you meant you had a manager with "My manager is working for me so no one is anybodys messiah....".

itsjustclassi:
Pardon me sir, I mean business. I already know my
work is great. My manager is working for me so no
one is anybodys messiah....

Hian! Na wa o.

Listen, assuming I was one big shot A&R - which I'm not - reading through your post, you exude confidence and seem to know what you are talking about. Clicking on your moniker sef, I discovered you posted the article about wack acts (can't remember the name) and that adds to the mystic which in communication circles, satisfies grabbing one's attention. You've told me what I know (wack musicians blah, blah, blah...), now what I don't know is pending (are you the one to fill that void? etc...). Effectively, you've made one thirst... so what's the value proposition; what are you offering? You need to close that gap, thus the request!

Anyone in the scenario above is dying to know what's in store and if they don't have time on their hands - like many don't - would rather have a feel of the material remotely than having a face-to-face. This saves you airtime, transport and so on and saves any potential manager et al the trouble of a longer process if declining to work with and if it his or her fancy is tickled, the next step is arranged.

No p. I understand how one's more-than-decent abilities are under-utilized, believe me. Good to know you have a manager now...

Please drop the 'sir', thanks!

itsjustclassi:

corperscorner:
With the latest policy rolled out by the CBN in a bid to strengthen the naira, all cards denominated in the local currency will not be able to make foreign payments in 3 days time.

This would affect online businesses that rely on foreign merchants - web designers, hosting resellers and others.

The Regulatory bank has no intention to reverse this policy unless its able to boost the nation's foreign reserve from USD29 billion to USD50 billion - We all know this could take years as Buhari mentioned.

Our concern now is to get through this quagmire by every means necessary.

The available options for making foreign payment currently rests in the shoulder of a domiciliary account - a bank account denominated in dollars.

With a card linked to this domiciliary account, everyone can be happy again - Web designers can pay for their hosting and make domain purchases with no stress at all. Now the little issue which I'm here to help you solve is - the CBN had made another policy restricting the deposit of dollar over the counter - this implies that even with a domiciliary account, you cannot deposit the dollars you purchased from Ab0ki at N280 (black market rate).

The simple solution to this is to get someone who has some dollars to spare in their domiciliary account to do an online transfer to your account - If you need to confirm this, kindly call your bank or account officer today.

That said, should you intend to obtain dollars into your domiciliary account via online transfer at a rate much more lower than what the Bureau De Change operators and road-side Ab0kis are peddling, kindly send me an email - corperscorner@yahoo.com
