So if you ever have a problem with Soundtrack Pro 2 like i did (not being able to open or close the left, right or bottom panes), then i suggest just deleting the program and re-installing. I couldn’t find any solution to the problem i was having.

I tried trashing the permissions business - didn’t help. So i literally just deleted only the Soundtrack Pro application file and re-installed it from the discs. Which took over 5 hours (and it estimated it would take over 12 hours! Had the installation lived up to it’s estimation, I would have screamed a little).

Installing the full Final Cut Studio takes at least a whole day of swapping between 6 or more DVD’s - craaaazy shit - and re-installing just one program really didn’t take a proportionally shorter amount of time! It still asked for each of the DVD’s to be loaded - even though only one is labeled Soundtrack something.

Soundtrack Pro has been such a stable audio editing solution that i edit fymo and bwym on, so this was rather dissappointing. It delayed me getting out ep 22 of fymo, and killed my cat.

Pro-Tools M-Powered i find easier to use as far as the actual editing goes, but you have to have an m-audio hardware interface plugged in, along with the Pro-Tools USB dongle… Then there’s the random crashes and problems with opening the bloody thing to begin with… And i can’t dedicate a machine to just Pro-Tools alone…

Soundtrack Pro means that i can truly have a portable, cable/dongle free editing solution on my laptop that gives me the option to export to an MP3 without having to fork out more money, ala Pro-Tools cockfag style.

So with Soundtrack Pro, if there’s a “next time” - which there better not be (’cause i’ve forked out good money on these programs) - i’ll just be trying a Time Machined version of the app… But hang on a sec… Mother f.. To save space on my smallish Time Machine HDD, i don’t back up applications.

Sounds like this could well be a good argument to spend more money.

Jason feels the power and gets down on fat lappies. Daniel gives a lecture on the physics of car remotes and computer chips. Will Jason get a banana smoothy? All this, and potentially more.

Join Daniel and Jason as a fly on the wall as they experience the umm, experience of a life-time - that is, the Macworld 2008 keynote! (Don’t worry, they’ll be back in the studio next week as per usual. Seriously. Would I lie to you baby?)

Like two little kids on the eve of Christmas, Dan and Jase chew the extra bits of fat that have come to light since episode 19, before the big Macworld 2008 keynote. Complete with “Air”. (You don’t have to listen hard to hear it!)

Hilarious! I just completed the SteveNote Expo game, and am “now ready for the best SteveNote ever”.

I came across it via Engadget - check it out yourself here!

“Try the game that lets you experience what it feels like to be Steve Jobs just before your Keynote presentation.”

Would ya check out the Jung’ s on that! Bad American accents are a plenty this episode, as is your usual feed of toilet humor and obvious sexual innuendo. Hold the anchovies.

The boys lube up for their 18th podcast! Doctor Dan to the iBook rescue! Dan gets off on hard drives and Jason explains this should only result in one tea-spoon of mayonnaise. And Jason shuts down an iPhone know-it-all. Boom.

Bees, amputees, and mouldy cheese. Flies losing their virginity. Fake Steve Jobs fakes it once more - the boys don’t get no satisfaction. Jason wants in the circle! And what does Dan get for Christmas, stock-ing-wise?

And of course, what would Christmas/happy holidays be, let alone a totally new year, without a wonderful wish of happy everything from both of us - Dan & Jason - at flop ya mac out.

We hope you have sexy times, and wish you all the best for 2008! Happy listening! And buy ya self somethin’ pretty.
