On a completely unrelated note, next week the grandaddies of Japanese dub reggae, Mute Beat, are playing a 25th anniversary one night reunion show and I'm looking forward to it like nobody's business!

They're migrating the samples to a better server at the moment, but that should be done tomorrow, and there's a torrent you can get them all through anyways. The "Selections from The Berklee College of Music Sampling Archive (1999-2007)" alone make it worth checking out.

It occurred to me this week that Vista owners are finding out what it's like to be a Mac owner. Looking at the fine print of product releases to see if their system is covered, whining about no support for their platform, smug superiority over XP users, etc.

Adam, on the other hand, runs a dimed XP SP2 system for his music computer. But there's some sort of problem we've narrowed down to JUCE, I think. JUCE is, of course, rather tragic, no offense to Jules. There's no reason whatsoever for a company like TC to use it, and frankly I was a little offended when I found out the PoCo software was partially written in it. It's like Ford contracting out all their engine design to a high school shop class or something.

It should be noted again that it is not a complicated process to deal with Vista. But the more 3rd party libraries you use in your products, the more shit has to line up. This issue with the PoCo is EXACTLY the reason we use the bone stock drawing stuff provided by the operating system and basic VST and AU with no wrappers or any nonsense, and that's why all our shit was "Vista ready" on day one, and it only took a couple weeks to port to VST2.4 and Universal Binary. Let that be a lesson to aspiring developers.
