a little, as you say, usually users are willing to donate if it's a good
site with a passionate user base. People have here for the UPS, and I've
had a couple of offers for ongoing monthly support for power/connection or
whatever, but it's really not expensive I don't think (and my internet is
now company funded). Worst case, if you're careful, you could always put
the odd unobtrusive ad up. Google allow some pretty neat little text only
adverts which you can throw at the side of the site to earn some cashola,
which are subject matched to your site. I wouldn't go this way, but if you
really wanted to squeeze some bucks out of it, it could be done carefully
without ruining the vibe and stuff too much I would think.
But like always, someone will come along with big bucks and go "Hey, we want
your idea (because we have lots of cash but no ideas of our own

>There's also the possibility of virtual hosting. I'm thinking seriously about
using these guys
www.slicehost.com
for hosting some projects for me and my band. $70 per month gets you 400GB
bandwidth, 1GB RAM, 40GB disk space on a shared server, and it's reserved.
They'll actually let you use other resources on the host as long as you're
not sucking resources from someone else's account, but they will promise
you this much.
I happened upon them because they are Debian friendly (learning another linux
distro is about as interesting to me as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick),
but I'm sure there are similar options for other OS's.
That said, if the guy you're talking about cashed out at a good price, it's
hard to blame him. My guess is if he's been running a successful, well subscribed
web community for a long time if you average out his hourly wage it's literally
less than five dollars per hour. But I'd be surprised if the actual hosting/bandwidth
was a real issue.

I suggested it to Deej for an audio scratchpad setup for his
wife, and it'd be perfect for that, PLUS YOU GET A KILLER
REVERB!
:)
But for v/o work, methinks you'd be better off with a nice
channel strip. I agree with Dedric that the Bluebird is a DAMN
nice mic for under a grand - haven't tried it yet on female
voice, but I have a feeling it would be great for that.

appy to have it for times when the 5043
is tied up. For anyone doing demos primarily, or local-band work, it would
be silly to spend the extra money, but if you can afford going up a step,
you can get really slick results with this unit. I think Rupert is kicking
ass with the Portico line.

Hell, she's my EX... ;-) I finally got her to stop squawking at me at the
time by asking her how she thought she'd look back on it in ten years -
would she laugh or still be angry? She admitted that she would probably
laugh. (I think it might be 25 years since that happened - it was in the
early 80's...)

Heehee, I'd say the opposite of course - it can't get splattered like that
if it's up! ;-)

Hi Gene,
I have just about decided to return the Portico. It's a beautiful sounding
unit to be sure, but I seldom track with compression and when I do, I have
adequate outboard compressors in channel strips here to cover this. The comp
in the Forssell CS-1 is about as perfect as it gets for tracking with
compression IMHO, so as far as a tool for use in a mix scenario, since I've
got 4 x UAD-1 cards, the 5043 is a beautiful $1700.00 piece of redundancy.
I'm going to give it another couple of days, but to be honest, I think the
33609 has the bases covered in a mix scenario, for my purposes. The 5042,
OTOH, is indespensable.

Men cannot sit to pee. The overspray is part of the territorial imperative
and if we do this, lightning will strike us and we will die.. .......I do
agree that men should pee outside though (and so does my wife ;o). There's
nothing more manly than greeting the day by walking out into the back yard
in the morning and having a pissin' contest with one's dog.
;o)I'm using a SIIG without problems (PT M-Powered) but it is PCIe.
