[sdiy] Other resources mildly related to DIY synths?

[Nicolai Czempin]

Laurent, are you trying to post to the list and inadvertedly sending 
privately?
I'm taking it back to the list, but perhaps you have reasons to send 
privately...
If so, let me know and in the future I'll respect that. For now I'm 
assuming it was meant to go to the list (why exclude the others?)

Hmm, I didn't want to discuss it here because it's OT. However, I'll 
briefly (for me :-) say this:
(I forgot to say that I meant recording to the hard disk 
*from*a*microphone*, e. g. voice).
I guess I have another reason to make my next machine a Mac again. I was 
thinking that perhaps people went to a different room (like they do in a 
real studio), or used an analogue four-track with the PC off, or whatever.
Even if the fans are really slow, there will still be enough to 
interfere with the recording (even the quietest HD). And the biggest 
problem is that I tend to have my PC's case open most of the time.

Hmm, are we talking about the same one that I bought? Because it cost me 
299 Euros. 200 is what the triple power supply costs.
