Title: Funny stuff extracted from another forum
Post by: indysmith on August 31, 2008, 11:51:28 PM
All I was doing was looking for people's opinions regarding Amplitube 2 vs. Guitar Rig 3 (if you're interested Amplitube wins hands down for me), and I got far more than I bargained for.

When you record them, you also get to factor in mic, mic position, preamps (ocassional) compressors and real, good-old-fashioned H2O (air)

As you can see; he's made a fatal and frankly embarrassing (but forgivable ;) ) mistake with his statement... :lol:
...however, the thing that makes it golden (and completely unforgivable) is the way he goes on to explain to us what H2O is. As if we're the idiots :lol: FANTASTIC.

On Friday, one of the recruitment agancies I use sent me this.  It's an honest email why a woman couldn't turn up for a job interview that had been set up.

I have recently seen an application for a job in which the applicant put at the bottom of their CV a set of dates during which they would be unavailable, followed by the statement: "Apologies for any incontinence this may cause".


Unbelievably, they got the job! :)

recently had 150 CVs at work for one job, can't believe what some people put in them, unfortunately all I remember is someone's personal profile being 3 huge paragraphs

Awesome. Can't beat that good old H20 for its properties in transmitting sound! :wink:

The forum is here Horrible name for a forum... (http://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/178644-guitar-rig-3-a.html).

I like how he said O2 was air- luckily someone corrected him, air is 70% nitrogen... I have 12 year olds in my class that know more than these chimps...

^ yeah, air certainly isn't all oxygen... it's 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, then the rest noble gases, carbon dioxide, etc.

water transmits sound very well, doesn't it? that's how whales and dolphins communicate over vast distances, i think.

You're quite right, dave. That's the principle of sonar! Also, solids transmit sound incredibly well. And that's why you can't hear anything from air guitarists (other than the sound of sweating).
