    "Open Failed" error with Enttec dongle....

    Anyone else get this error? When using Freestyler with the Enttec Open DMX USB dongle, I get this error...and I now remember this happened a year ago and that's why I gave up on it then. I'm assuming that once the error pops up - and even though the software opens up and allows you to work...

    Inspired by Hank...a new karaoke box!

    So Hank inspired me big time to build a box to house some equipment. I think that I may end up building two boxes (one for karaoke, one for dj) but first up is the karaoke box since I am hosting twice a week with a possible third night coming and I'm sick and tired of all the set up. This...

    Just picked up GNR - "Chinese Democracy"

    One word...... Wow! I won't bother going into a full blown review as there are several out there already but I will say that Axl's voice has never sounded better. The cd sounds incredible and the dynamics range from soft piano with Axl singing very softly and...dare I say...pretty -...
