  1. I too have bad tinnitus, mainly due to accidentally blasting ears while messing around with Garageband with headphones, and volume jumped to max..just a short burst, rattled headphones and both my ears are ringing for a year now..constant 13kHz and 3.3kHz tone both ears...esp when its quiet it sounds like a loud tube TV in room. Has affected my life...i have to keep moving/distracted so not to notice it. Caused months of depression, now I have accepted it is part of my living state.

    This too happened to Makyo, and I feel for him.

    So basically its hearing damage and there is no cure (so far all cures are snake oil)...best you can do is to protect your hearing and listen to gentle white noise to distract your brain from the buzzing in your head. The tapping trick helps to distract brain, its a temporary fix. I have had moulded ear plugs made to prevent further damage which I use for music festivals etc or when working with power tools.. There is also something called "decibel exchange rate"  which is the time you can spend in a noisy environment before hearing damage occurs.

  4. Hi. It really depends on your requirements.

    PC with Windows on a solid state drive (this makes the all the difference) with anti virus will do for most tasks and Microsoft is now making great strides.

     

    You can also run linux on a old PC and it will run fast.

     

    I have a Microsoft Lumia mobile which is cheap and works really well for my needs.

     

    Mac if you like the asthetic look, cute OS, less virus issues, and you are using Mac specific software e.g. Logic.

    But you pay dearly.

     

    Ipad ? In short YES.

    The apps are what makes the Ipad such good value.

    e.g. play with propellorheads Figure its awesome, and there is many great apps games

    The Ipad also will last you a couple of years if looked after...

    You must decide if you want to wait and buy the new model or get the old model at a discount when new is out

  5. Heres some of my 'embarrasing' tracks I found from 1999...psybient.

    I had a virus A, mc303 , ER1 and as Cosmosis tips page warns, suffered severe loopitus as i was completely sucked in by the virus sounds.

    These tracks composed themselves, the machines led the way. i did not know how to master and i was too shy but they tell a story.

     

  6. Great list Paul, and quite a few things to discover.
