  1. So not really using your vote to influence any sort of foresight and change?

    Way to keep the status quo rolling along, buddy.

    i think the status quo in Canada is pretty great actually. sure I disagree with a few policy items (drug penaltes, afghanistan) but on the whole I thnk we live in an amazing, free, tolerant, demoratic society, and the thing that wil enable us (our government) to continue providing all the increadable services it does is wealth. so I go where the money is....show me the money.

  2. I believe there is a much wider poitical gap between the Republicans and Democrats then exists between our two major parties (at least socially)

    In Canada there is not such a gap, Conservative or Liberal doesnt really affect the social fabric too much. both parties are fairly central on the spectrum....maybe that contributes to voter apathy? the notion that we will remain a fairly socially 'liberal' society regardless...

    I believe that to be the case, so I cast my vote in favor of the party who I think can provide the most responsible fiscal policy, therefor I voted for Harper...

    also Dion seemed like a douche bag

  3. signal chain is the thing....from source to 'tape' - whats your path? whats your weak link? it starts with the musician, then flows through the mike, then through the preamp/channel strip then to the A/D convertor and finally to the capture device. (outboard effects like compression/ limiting need to be squeezed in there too sometimes)

    Presonus is a pretty good name, so your A/D conversion is probably OK...maybe your next move should be a couple of decent mikes..for vocal work you need a good large diaphram condenser...a couple of small diaphram condensers for accoustic instruments and overheads...after your mike collection is in order a good tube preamp might be a consideration for warming up your signal before commiting it to the digital world...i'm just starting to scratch the surface myself, and believe me it can be an expensiv hobby,

    back to my first point, decide what the weakest link in your signal chain is, and attack that first
