Weighing in on Don Imus.....
What every form of media medium fails to address in the Don Imus situation, is again the obvious. Rap music and the hip hop culture which morphed from the 1970's "Jive speak" and " blacksploitation" cultures and vernacular, prominently expouse the common terms of " Ho" " My Nigga" and the modern day inner city gangster terms and lifestyle. Why doesn't the media at large get to the source of the vernacular, and folks like Al Sharpton, go after the Music industry that feeds the negative connotations and culture that spawn the Don Imus events.
Don Imus, in my view was trying to be hip, by using inflammitory words that are used commonly in the "New Age" Hip-Hop culture. Trying to be Hip and cool, this is what got him in hot water. And it is absolute silliness to attack phraseology which your own culture idolizes and promotes. If Don Imus, or myself even can't say these terms, than no one should. Thats whats fair.
All I have to say on this.

changes...updates......something new
Due to an expected update of some of the softwares used, things have slowed. We are still awaiting updates to the Liquid Mix software, it's coming early April, it's not here yet. It has to be checked out, just in case it is a vast improvement. Added Helios 69 EQ to our UAD-1 arsenal for mastering. More to come soon.
