Edirol R-09 & Audio-Technica Pro 24 Mic

?

4 Hours and 29 Min

Well I was never able to fall asleep again and watched a movie in the main lounge and had some snacks. Did a little prying and reflection. Soon

7 Hours and 12 Min to the Wedding with Kathy

Wow its almost hear it 3:47m and I cant seem to sleep. The reseal when well. Yesterday was interesting. I had taken the night before off to help calm my nerves and I was feeling pretty sick, Im sure nerves and stress from where I work. So I was able to feel some yesterday night and I thought I would be feeling fine today that being Friday. Well I ran around with Charlene to get everything set and my sumach still acted um and my valves were leaking. For those of you who know me will know that meant for me but it is kink of embracing that at 40 things have started to break down. I had spent some time in prayer and reflection on Thursday night as well and I remember coming to this point. “You never know what that person that you just meet will be in your life or where time will take that relationship.” I have been privileged to meet people all of the country and some of them will be at the wedding yet most of them when I first meet them I had no idea what roll or who they would be in my life 5-10-15 years down the road. I wonder what life would be like if everyone treated people that they just meet as a GIFT? Well back to not sleeping when I checked it was 7 Hours and 12 min to the vows. The slide show seemed to work well the sound system and the guitar all seemed to be wonderful to. But I have to say it was pretty nerve racking having the gear show up 2 hours late. It was wonderful that everyone has helped us this far. So many of Kathy’s friends chip in to set up and its wonderful John, Karen, Ellen, Cindy, Susan, Dale, Laura, Margaret, Charlene and Mike thanks. Well I hope that stomach will chill out and I wont have to make runs to the rest room. I will put some pic and sound clips up later for those of you that may not have been able to see the wedding or come out to PA. We look forward to visiting with out friends in CA Southern and Northern. A Sonoma hear we come. Will be recoding some in two weeks at The Zone, that should be fun as well Well thats it for now.

Thankyou All

More Info
Crystal-Clear Capture
It’s ultra small and looks like a gadget, but make no mistake — the R-09 is a serious, top-quality professional recorder with time-stamp capability. Capture source material at a crystal-clean 24-bit resolution with your choice of 44.1 or 48kHz sample rates. Record and play back in MP3 format as well (up to 320kbps). Once recorded, files can be monitored through the R-09’s headphone jack and/or exported to a computer via USB.
Microphone Included
To record audio into the R-09, there’s no extra gear to buy or no cables to connect. A quality stereo microphone is built right into the unit, complete with a dedicated input control, mono/stereo selector, low-cut filter, and gain boost. Just point and record! The R-09 also offers a mic input.
Sweetening
The R-09 contains the world’s most-requested/desired effect: reverb. Whether you’re listening to WAV or MP3 files, you can route the R-09’s playback through its internal reverb processor, immersing it in lush, user-controllable ambience.
More Than Music
The R-09 is perfect for recording live music events, recitals, and rehearsals. It’s also handy as a songwriter’s sketchpad, ensuring that no moment of inspiration is lost. But the R-09 has many valuable uses outside of the music world as well. Students can use it to record lectures. Broadcasters and journalists can throw away their antiquated cassette recorders and use the R-09 for in-the-field interviews — the audio-capturing applications are endless.

Coconut Battery v. 2.5 Good Battery App.

The Coconut battery update is very cool and lets you see where your battery is as far as how much more juce you left and do you need to replace you battery. I got this infromation from Ottmar Lieberts sight. coconutBattery v2.5
The hottest battery information app out there…

For Apple laptop owners:
Coconut Battery
Scroll down the above web page and ownload the Beta widget if you are running Tiger – if you don’t you can get the regular version. Both are free.

My laptop battery is sucking and I just ordered a new one. According to the Coconut Battery Widget my old battery is on Load Cycle 652 and batteries have a lifetime of 300-500 loadcycles. In other words: no wonder!!

You can order a replacement battery by Newer Tech at OWC. Each new battery includes a label to return your old battery for proper recycling or disposal. They are also Mercury-free.

…got even hotter!!!

…completely rewritten…preferences menu…dashboard widget…more languages(coming soon)…and it’s still freeware(but donations are more than welcome)

What is coconutBattery?
coconutBattery isn’t just a tool which shows you only the current charge of your battery – it also shows you the current maximum capacity of it in relation to the original capacity your battery had as it left the factory.
You also get information about the battery-loadcycles (how often did you fully load your battery), the current charger (coconutBattery even warns you if you plugged in a wrong charger for your Notebook) and last but not least information about the age of your Mac.

coconutBattery gives you all these information just in time because of it’s live-feedback interface!

Of course you are able to save the current maximum capacity of your battery – with just one click! coconutBattery uses Apple’s new and really powerful technology named “CoreData” to realize this comfortable saving option.

The absolutely most requested feature has been added: coconutBattery now ships with a Dashboard Widget, which has exactly the same coconut-flavour as the real app! You have to check it out!

And last but not least: coconutBattery is Universal Binary (you can run it on Intel-Macs!) and it is completely localizable!

Many localizations are ready to start but still need some bugfixes.
If you want to help translating coconutBattery to your language, just write me an email.

By the way: The really really cool and absolutely coconut-flavoured icon was created by http://www.afterglow.ie – really good job! Check out the webpage.

System-requirements:
– Mac OS 10.4.3+ (sorry, currently no 10.3.x version available)
– An Apple-Notebook (Powerbook, iBook, MacBook Pro or MacBook)

Screenshots:

(Hm – my battery got really really bad – but hey, it’s over 2.5 years old)
