Slotvent

New in the world of slotvent.com is the forum this can be found at http://forum.slotvent.com I have a plan, that plan is the biggest forum in the internet (hopefully) and if not a reasonable sized one If you lie joining in on forum discussions and debate and would like to come and add something to ours then please follow the link above and start typing. Eventually the forum will cover most topics and have a reasonable user base but for now we have only the basic category’s and limited users but again we want you to change that.

If you would like to work on the site as a moderator or mascot then please let me know and im sure we can sort something out.

I hope you enjoy the new forum and that it brings you plenty of time wasted hours to come

I dont know why but i have decided to remove the podpress plugin and the downloads from my install of wordpress there are a couple of reasons that have made me do this so heres the excuses

Podpress and the downloads plugins are no compatible with my copy of wordpress 2.5 and are not functioning properly.

The feeds do not refresh so i still have stats from old songs that are no longer on the site.

The downloads page just looks wank to be honest

Im gonna work on something new for the site but in the mean time you can listen to all my music from the sidebar of this site or you can goto reverbnation and listen to my music there.

Hope this aint annoyed anyone but it just kinda makes sense to do this properly.

I was trawling across the world of the web when i stumbled across a site called lifesize.com video communications. The idea of finally having a good face to face chat over the internet seemed to impress me a little. Video Conference Software is at a all time demand at the moment as peoples broadband is getting faster and with that people are looking for other ways to contact and talk with there business partners, friends and maybe even the odd random person. Lifesize.com not only offer just the one form of communication either. If you goto there site you will see that there is a full range of software and hardware to choose from including : Audio, video, management and accessories. i will certainly be looking further into this for the development of my sites and as a way to keep in contact with the technical support of my site.

Here is a quote from the main page of the site:

LifeSize channels high-definition video communications over a broadband connection to enable natural, face-to-face communication among users. LifeSize was founded in 2003 and is based in Austin, Texas. It is supported by Tier 1 venture capital firm located in Austin, as well as in the Silicon Valley. Our technology enables organizations around the globe to experience video communications technology and products that were developed with the utmost quality, simplicity, connectivity, and manageability in mind.

Hope this information has been helpful and useful to you and don’t forget that if you are looking for a reasonable video communications solution then go have a look at www.lifesize.com

Reason 4.0.1 is a maintenance update that resolves a few minor issues and, as a response to user feedback received for Reason version 4, brings some small workflow changing alterations.

General

• More tolerant error handling when loading custom fonts.
• Selected installer language was not used when upgrading from 3.0, this is now fixed.
• We have improved the error handling when copying Remote maps and codecs during start up.
• All sample players (NN-XT, NN-19, Dr Rex and Redrum) - High Quality Interpolation is now enabled by default.
• Improved handling of mono/stereo connections while auto-routing.
• Dragging devices to the rack from the tool window only worked with the top-most window, now it works with any window.
• More robust error handling during startup, avoiding certain timing problems in Windows.

Sequencer

• Automation type for Dr Rex transpose parameter was continuous - changed this to stepped.
• In certain situations Command-A did not work properly on Mac OS X.
• Notes with same Start or End position could change the play/stop order randomly. This could only be noticed while playing chords on a monophonic device. This is now fixed.
• Fixed note trig queuing for extremely short notes. This was causing phased effects when doubling clips exactly on two layers.
• “Reset automation override” could default to wrong value.
• Pressing Stop the second time moves the song position locator to previous start position, it could sometime move to song start if the locator had been repositioned during playback.
• MIDI import of file with redundant note information is now filtered.
• Uncombining a Combinator deleted the Combinator’s sequencer track. This is now fixed.
• Reason could take a long time to respond when entering extreme numbers in position editors.
• Overriding parameter automation by loading a patch did not always indicate automation override. Now fixed.

Improved workflow in sequencer

• If a clip is selected in Arrange mode and you switch to Edit mode, the clip is automatically opened for editing. This only happens if the clip is on the current track.
• You can press [Esc] to close an open clip in Edit mode. If the clip was opened from Arrange mode, this will automatically switch the sequencer back to Arrange mode.
• Only one single clip is created in loop record mode. Before, a new clip was created for every new loop.
• Changed Zoom behavior: The program now zooms on the song position locator if it’s in view. If not, it zooms towards the left edge of the current view.
• Drag and drop now also works in left-handed mouse configurations.
• Text-entry of a tempo with a decimal in the transport panel or when editing the static value was counter-intuitive: Typing something like ‘120.5′ or ‘120.05′ delivered 120.005. This is now fixed.
• Added label to velocity and pattern lanes.

Remote

Added Remote support for:

• Akai MPD24
• Akai MPD32
• Akai MPK49
• Edirol PCR-300/500/800
• Frontier Design Group Alpha Track
• Line 6 KB37
• M-audio ProjectMix I/O
• M-audio Axiom 25/49/61
• M-audio Oxygen 8 v2
• Fixed a performance problem with the Remote Override “learn” feature.

Browser

• Performance problem when having many ReFills installed.
• Reason could crash when saving if there was more than 300 ReFills installed -fixed.
• Better error handling while file searching in browser.
• Broken search for missing sounds in songs created with OS hide extensions enabled - fixed.
• Changed wording of memory usage in patch browser to avoid confusion.
• Saving patches in Reason version 4 and ReFill packer had a backward compatibility issue - fixed.
• Sometime the static value was not imported correctly when loading old songs - fixed.
• If an opened patch or sample had been moved or deleted while Reason was running this could prevent the user from saving the song - fixed.
• Reason could in certain cases unexpectedly quit when saving on Mac OS X - fixed.

Combinator

• If many devices in a Combinator were programmed to switch “Receive notes” on/off in the Combinator’s programmer, some devices responded slower than other devices. This is now fixed.

Malström

• Increased the buffer size of Malström’s Comb filter, this fixed problems with high sample rates.

RPG-8

• Fixed velocity CV and knob/automation lag when in random mode.
• Fixed broken velocity change of tied single note when in ON-mode.
• “Render Arpeggio To Track” was broken when pattern automation lane was enabled.
• New shortcuts: Shift pattern right: Ctrl + J (Win) or Cmd + J (Mac) Shift pattern left: Ctrl + K (Win) or Cmd + K (Mac) Random sequencer pattern: Ctrl +R (Win) or Cmd + R (Mac) Alter Pattern: Ctrl + T (Win) or Cmd + T (Mac)

Thor

• Thor’s sequencer have new shortcuts:
  Shift sequencer pattern right: Ctrl + J (Win) or Cmd + J (Mac)
  Shift sequencer pattern left: Ctrl + K (Win) or Cmd + K (Mac)
  Randomize pattern: Ctrl +R (Win) or Cmd + R (Mac)

Audio Card

• Reason could go silent if the sample rate was changed in Windows Vista or on an aggregated audio card driver in Mac OS X. This is now fixed.

ReWire

• Fixed a ReWire problem with FL Studio, making it more robust.
• Made Ableton Live and Reason ReWire connection more robust.

Heres a list of the things people type on google and end up on this site. Its only a small list

For some strange reason today i decided to turn on the pc and go straight to google to see what would happen if i typed in “slotvent” and searched for myself. This is something that i have never done before, and i was shocked to see

Results 1 - 10 of about 46,300 for slotvent. (0.19 seconds)

This is amazing !! OK fair enough i did submit this site to google but to be listed on all the podcast directory’s is mind blowing as im pretty sure it was not me that added the songs. In fact i know it was not me that added the songs.

Now this got me thinking … Do it

A, Go through the whole of google and make a note of all the dirrerent sites i seem to be on.

B, Save all the little icons like the ones in the menu on the right and build a list on this site.

The creation of a page on here listing all the sites that im on could be pretty cool, Then again it could also be very time consuming and somewhat painful. I guess the easy option is - If you want to see a page with all the sites im on add a comment below telling me so, If i get enough comments it might make me do something about it.
