    Yes, and in four days the spammers will be gone and we can return to our

    Most of the spam on this group seemed to stop about 6 days ago but it
    was still getting through on <sci.electronics.design> until 18 hours
    ago. It seems to have stopped now, hopefully for good ( ...certainly
    for better).

    Google did it. They cut their peering connection with usenet. If they
    hadn't, many usenet server owners were considering de-peering their end
    of the connection, or just killing all posts originating on the Google
    servers. Just as we no longer see their posts, Google Groups members
    will no longer see ours.

    The elimination of received spam before the cut off date was the result
    of some heroic programming by many news server admins round the world.

    Like spirits with unresolved Earthly business,
    we glide through the hallways trying to find
    out whether there is really any benefit to sample
    rates above 44.1k, and whether Pro-tools does anything
    useful that Reaper can't. :)

    I would answer "No" to the first one and suggest you could include far
    more applications than Reaper in the second.

    <Grin> When I am editing or cleaning up a recording, the higher sample
    rates let me do a better job. When listening at home, at my age, the HF
    limit is in my ears, not the equipment.

    As for the Pro Tools against Reaper thing, it depends on what you count
    as useful. One good point about Pro Tools, though, is that I can use
    files from and send files to just about any professional mixing facility
    and know they will drop into their workflow with no trouble, while
    Reaper tends to be used more at the home studio end of the market.

    This is the only reason I have ever heard for usomg Pro-tools. It does
    the same things as dozens of other programs for a higher price and a
    more difficult learning curve -- but everyone uses it, so everyone uses
    it.

    A situation engineered by the Apple maxim (initially at least) of
    locking the early market leader to a particular computer and interface platform (and 'cost') early in the evolution of the technology, gaining
    a near impenetrable foothold (as in monopoly) from which escape is
    difficult.

    There have been several attempt at undiscriminating cross-platform
    project file formats, the latest being 'DAWproject' files from Presonus, which includes pretty much all usable info including plugins and
    associated parameters.
