In Topic: What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

07 April 2012 - 12:57 PM

Masters of the universe (live action movie) - nostalgic garbage
Louis Theroux - seasons 1-3 season 1 and 3 are great. In season 3 He really pushes the line. The modern master of pleasantly invasive journalism.
Solaris - Russias 70s answer to 2001 - deep, slow and trippy. Fell asleep. (probably didn't help that it was 5am and I was hung over like a mule.). From what I did see it was superior to 2001 (except in the visuals department), but then again I find most of Kubrick's stuff fairly pretentious, albeit good looking.

Tonight I am re-visiting willow (mostly because I recently watched life's too short - which was good but not gervais' best stuff). And at some stage this weekend I want to watch Lawrence of Arabia, which is a pretty boring movie really but I love the score and the desert.

In Topic: Looking for some sort of acoustic dampening curtains

For sound treatment in my new room - I whacked a few rolls of unused carpet in a corner and placed a couple of canvas' in front of them (more for aesthetics). My wife also had 6 square canvas which she had very neatly covered with old band t-shirts - I filled the inside of them with carpet underlay - I then hung them in two rows about head height when sitting; opposite my monitors.

Didn't think it would work (i don't really know much about accoustics) but it seemed to create a sweet spot exactly where I sit and removed a fair bit of the reverb- the rest of the room is a bit bassy in certain spots but not too bad considering how it was when I started.

in terms of audio interface - the RME babyface is an awesome option (apart from being a bit expensive) - the breakout cables are a great initiative and the sound quality of the inputs is awesome. can't reccomend it enough.

yeah policing it is the hard bit - but maybe the way around that is for labels to offer free sampler cd's (or itunes download packs) with a few non-single tracks or b-sides from a select group of bands/artists.
