I want fucking absynth!

AHHHHHHHHH

My absynth has not been working for months.

I started getting this problem, where Id save my logic file,
and the next time I opened it, it would make logic quit
out.

So I removed my pluggins from the components folder in
audio/plugins, and after testing which ones worked together,
alone, or not at all... I found that absynth 2 was the
culprit.

So I had to take it out of the folder.... but now I have no
absynth, and i fucking love that software. ahhhhh

and no updates are out since the last one (moooonths ago)

IM MAD

*pout*

Report the problem to NI directly, you are a paying customer
you will probably have more luck with them than I did.

yeah... but ive been looking on the forum there, and there
seems to be quite a few complaints with it, working with
other software, and the companies lack of response to the
problem :-\

Yes other software companies are beginning to have to issue
patches so NI stuff works with their software when the
problem is down to NI in the first place.

yeh but you don't get it.

Absinth by default is very very very bitter.

you add salt to it, you're gonna make it taste even worse

A lot of absinth(e)s taste nasty. La Fe Verte is the only
one that I can even begin to enjoy taste wise (although
Hills is as good a mixer as absinth gets with its
comparatively neutral taste). Hapsburg is good "get out of
it" stuff, but no way will you be able to drink enough to
get the "absinth effect". La Fe is one of the best for that-
not meaning to boast (and it's nothing to be proud of) but I
put away a whole bottle of that the day my XLT board members
tapestry pic was taken. Definately feeling something other
than drunk then...

as far as i was aware, true absinth was made illegal for
consumption and sale in western society since the 60's???

Gotta do the sugar spoon thing. By the way, what's the
easiest way to get the stuff in the U.S.?

No no no :)

And not all the stuff you can get now is "nothing like real
absinth" as some claim. True, it is outlawed in a hell of a
lot of countries, but the Uk ain't one of them. It's Thujone
which give it the absinth effect (and aside from the killer
alcohol content) what makes it illegal. People often compare
it to cannabis, perhaps because it's similair to canniboids
(sp?) in terms of chemical structure, but the effects are
noticeably different (although to write them down they seem
similair). I suppose it's more a sense of elation and less
of confusion/lack of caring.

They don't allow the really potent (high thujone) ones in UK
(or EU countries where it is allowed, so far as I know), but
not all absinthes historically had v. high thujone contents.
La Fe is made from a reciped over 100 years old- it's
undoubtably the nearest to an "original" absinthe you can
still get and that's not v. high thujone.

Mappatzee: Yep, sugar/spoon is generally for
absinthes (like La fe), the flame thing for czech
ones (absinth). I tend to be of the opinion that both are
more for the ritual (like prepping a bong/rolling a
joint/etc. with other drugs) rather than the effect, but
some of my friends prefer the taste when served that way.
I'm not fussy, I'm happy to drink it as a shooter as well as
"properly".

I believe it is available in some better
supermarkets/offlicences. My friend claims it is available
in Tescos but I somehow doubt that lol. Umm I have seen it
online in several places, try searching for absinthe or
absinth, one spelling is more potent or something?? I can't
remember dude sorry.

True dat. FL Studio had to build in a workaround for Reaktor
because it was receiving pitch bend range resets and
interpreting them as controller messages, and it would do
shit like set some of your controls to zero.

I mean, I appreciate that NI is not Microsoft so they can't
afford to get a team of programmers working on maintenance
and debugging at the same time that they get another team to
develop new products to keep the $$ flowing in, but sheesh.


Oh well, at least they're not as openly abusive and hostile
as the FL Studio support ogres. :D

No honestly- you can get it in Tescos!

They got some distro deal with La Fee, as did Waitrose.
Tescos is actually the cheapest I've found it (£20 for a
70cl bottle), cheaper even than buying in bulk online.

Only the larger stores do it and only in posher areas. My
home town one don't carry it (and won't despite my
requests), but I tend to stock up on it in the big store in
Cardiff.

I've still got some of this Hills to get through and it's
rank in comparisson. I'll pick up a couple of bottles of
asti and knock up some gypo "dead in the afternoon" when the
barbeque weather sets in.

Wow respect to tescos. Did you know that apparently 1 out of
every 8 pounds spent in the UK is spent at tescos? True
fact!! That will scare the anti-capitalists.
