Noise Pioneer Bebe Barron Passes Away

About Bebe Barron's death...

nix the wifi!

CPU overload got you down? Pops, clicks and mangle not what you're after this bright and sunny morning?

Well before you touch that finicky buffer! ... Point a resolute hand at the apple airport!

Truth:

Pro tools logged multiple CPU overloads and Abelton Live was a cranky popping jerk still ... even after a couple of hours of buffer tweaking ... point by point. Then a lovely german named Nico from the Ableton staff responded to my slightly anxiety ridden email yesterday... first in complete german and then another email was sent:

"Hello,

Apple's latest airport update can cause CPU spikes and audio dropouts. What happens when you turn off airport?

Best regards,

Nico Starke
Ableton Technical Support"


AND LOW AND BEHOLD... crisp clean audio playback! All the better to mangle myself... but with a steady hand, my friends.

So nix the airport... cut off yer wifi and all will be golden.

Cheers.
