POPSDigital Sound Separator The new tool promises to give musicians and producers powerful new ways to manipulate recordings both old and new.It might let studio engineers peer inside a chord-heavy rhythm-guitar part and nudge individual notes into tune. Or it could let them salvage unheard takes by classic musicians like Duke Ellington or Jimi Hendrix, left unreleased due to out-of-tune instruments or misplayed notes. It will certainly give musicians new ability to sculpt sound, such as prerecorded samples or loops, as if they were modeling clay.

POPSMichael Moore hates capitalism all the way to the bank If he takes one dime in profits then he’s a damn hypocrite. To find out just how much Moore “hates” capitalism, read Jim Hoft’s post which describes the worth of Moore’s residence in Northern Michigan. - http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2009/09/to-michael-moore-capitalism-is-evil.html

POPSThe NY Times Can’t Get Anything Right
It Was 40 Years Ago Today By Richard S. Chang On Aug. 8, 1969, less than one month after Neil Armstrong made one giant leap for mankind, the Beatles took a few steps outside the recording studio where they were working on their penultimate album and turned a quiet road into one of the most famous streets in London. The group spent 15 minutes to shoot the album cover "- an image that has been reproduced countless times since. From the BBC: The idea for the cover of the Beatles’ Abbey Road album was initially to call it Everest, after the favorite brand of cigarettes smoked by their engineer Geoff Emerik. Then the thought of doing a Himalayan cover helped kill the idea, and instead they considered doing shoot closer to home. “There’s a sketch Paul McCartney did with four little stick men crossing the Zebra,” says Brian Southall, author of the history of Abbey Road Studios. In the album photo, the Beatles appear to be walking across a quiet London street.

"Since 1994, photographer Ari Versluis and profiler Ellie Uyttenbroek have been trekking the globe together, recording Exactitudes — “exact attitudes” captu(red) in people’s peculiar dress code as an attempt to differentiate themselves from others or identify with a group."

POPSOn Jesse Jackson's Apology One of the odd criticisms of Jesse Jackson is his insistence that others apologize if they make offensive or racist comments about another individual. Here is an example of Jesse Jackson practicing what he preaches. Apologies are important. (I made one yesterday.) They restore what was made out of balance among persons back to a state of balance as closely as possible depending on the circumstances. They are a way of taking responsibility for one's actions and are an admission, of what we often don't want to acknowledge, our finitude. As such they are a way of inspiring trust in those realistic enough to realize that imperfection is a universal trait. I applaud Jackson's apology. It makes me trust him more.

POPS♫ Johannes Brahms, Alto Rhapsody - ♥ Kathleen Ferrier (1947) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Aber abseits, wer ist's? Ins Gebüsch verliert sich sein Pfad, Hinter ihm schlagen Die Sträuche zusammen, Das Gras steht wieder auf, Die Öde verschlingt ihn. Ach, wer heilet die Schmerzen Des, dem Balsam zu Gift ward? Der sich Menschenhass Aus der Fülle der Liebe trank? Erst verachtet, nun ein Verächter, Zehrt er heimlich auf Seinen eignen Wert In ungnügender Selbstsucht. Ist auf deinem Psalter, Vater der Liebe, ein Ton Seinem Ohre vernehmlich, So erquicke sein Herz! Öffne den umwölkten Blick Über die tausend Quellen Neben dem Durstenden In der Wüste. (J. W. v. Goethe, Harzreise im Winter) ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

But to get it, you had to download AND install it before 2am CST, 11/29.

POPSScreen Recording software for free The free download is for version 3.1.3. The current version, Camtasia Studio v5, retails for $299. This software is used to create little movies of what is happening on your screen, typically for software demonstration or training purposes. With the download, you get an offer to upgrade to v5 for half price. Below this article, on the same Ghacks page, you will also find a link to get an older version of SnagIt for free. Made by the same company, Snagit snaps still pictures of all or part of your screen and includes an editor with which you can add text, highlighting, arrows, and more to your image. Another great tool for educators, software developers, or just people who want to save pictures from the Internet and add text "bubbles."

POPSCamtasia Studio Screen Recorder and Video Editor I have been wondering how people do those video tutorials actually showing their computer screen as they are doing what ever they are wanting to show you how to do. So I Google searched screen recorder and at the top of the list was this. I downloaded and installed the 30 day free trial version and tried one quick recording. I was INSTANTLY in love with this program. So I bypassed the 30 day free trial, by visiting http://crackzplanet.com/get_237231_Techsmith.Camtasia.Studio.v4.0.1_crack.html. So if this interests you in the LEAST bit of way, I suggest you check it out and get it for yourself.

POPSAbyssMedia audio utilities -- I recommend these I got i-Sound and Audio Converter Plus from GiveawayOfTheDay.com for free, but I am considering buying them to install on another computer. i-Sound ($30) is a quick, reliable, lightweight direct-to-MP3 recorder, with a simple, clean interface. Does not hog resources or create huge temp files like Audacity.
