jnealand, you are implying something without facts.  You seem to do that quite often I've noticed.

I took jim's comment as a joke. I know Bobby, he brings thsi server down multiple times so he can rebuild software. This would be the 7th week we have been doing this, i assume he just ran into some issue.

He offers teh server and the setup for free, it has hosted almost 30 web conferences. we are certainly getting our moneys worth.

i never check ahead of time, my bad. next time ill be more proactive.

anyways, i am cancelling tonights tutorial.

too bad team speak og google chat or something else could give us audio.

we have joinme to echo my screen just missing a way to get the audio out to you all.

so tonight is cancelled,  sorry

Perhaps in the future, when you start a chat you might want to provide a link so those of us who are new at that can get there.

That link didn't work for me.  It kicked back an error claiming that no meeting with that description exists.  Oh well.

That was the initial issue that was resolved.  It has to be started, and the cracker choice chosen for the Thursday chats.  Friday chats don't use the cracker choice.

My mistake.  I didn't know that there was a cracker choice.  Since I didn't select that choice, that would explain the error.

Tonight's tutorial was on how to create single strand effects for odd shaped targets. I discussed how I created effects for the 400' of spider web and the 8' spider my sons built for Halloween.
Tutorial goes through
1) make a 16 segment single strand target
2) create effects for the 16 segments
3) use audacity to mark phrases
4) create a song using the audacity labels file
5) create a project using the song and the target
6) running project
7) loading finished song into Vixen



Tutorial is located here.

Bobby;

no big deal. i appreciate that you provide the servers, the time, the setup and support. This like the 10th time i have given a tutorial, always up before.

thanks for you making these possible.
