<p>Oy! It's been a over a week since I last updated the site simply because I haven't been online for the past week. Instead of mucking about with stylesheets and php code, I took some time to reorganize our studio. I'll have some pictures of the new arrangement up as soon as I take some but I'd like to highlight one big change: we have dual computers/monitors! Now this isn't yer granddads dual monitor setup. Instead of two monitors plugged into one computer, we have two computers, each with their own monitor. Before you dismiss this as old hat, let me add that one computer is a PC running XP Pro and the other is an Apple runnning 10.3 and the mouse and keyboard is seamlessly shared between them! What this means is that as you move the mouse cursor off the edge of the left-hand monitor (the PC), it appears on the monitor on the right (which is a Mac!) and you carry about your business as usual. This is made possible with the use of a nifty program called <a href="/synergy2.sourceforge.net">Synergy</a></p>
<p>Synergy is a kind-of poor man's KVM switch. Instead of pressing a button to switch the display and peripherals from one computer to another, Synergy employs some VLC-like trickery to accomplish much the same effect. The monitor does not change however, so it's really more of a virtual KV switch. Still, the effect is awesome and anyone who works with multiple computer systems frequently should hop on the bandwagon if you haven't already </p>
<p> done so.</p>
<p>Why would we want to use two computers together, you may ask? Basically the PC is much faster and can handle large stacks of Combinators in Reason. The Mac, while choking on heavy processing tasks, is much more reliable when it comes to recording with ProTools. For now, this hybrid setup is the best of both worlds. Of course, a dual-monitor KVM or even better, a new core-duo mac, would be better but hey--you work with what you got!</p>
<p>I'll add more songs and new features in the next few days. Since we don't have internet access at the house it looks like updates will be a little sporadic for the short term. Bear with me . . .</p>
