Here is my try at Dream Theater’s “Dance of Eternity” (including the ragtime piano part):
After some time since my last video I am back again with some other Dream Theater Coversongs.
These are my first recording tries using the Axe FX Ultra (Version 8.02).
The patches are based on the Petrucci Rhythm with a little less gain and the FAS lead with the amp replaced by USA Lead 2 (+ some other tweaking) as a lead sound.
Overture 1928
Strange Deja Vu
Both videos are based on the original and unedited audio track, which was recorded directly from the Axe FX into the PC.
Because of the many requests I got, now you can download the presets I used:
Overture 1928 Lead
Overture 1928 Rhythm
The Strange Deja Vu sound is the same as Overture 1928 Rhythm.
For those of you, who use Ubuntu 9.04 and would like to have the new features coming with Subversion 1.6, here is a short guide to upgrade from 1.5.
Add the following two lines to your software source list (in /etc/apt/sources.list) …
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/anders-kaseorg/subversion-1.6/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/anders-kaseorg/subversion-1.6/ubuntu jaunty main
… and add the key of Anders Kaseorg to your trusted keys …
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 413576CB
Finally update your package list and do the upgrade:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Recently Microsoft released a couple of security update for Visual Studio 2008 SP1, KB article 971092 and KB article 973924.
After installing them I wanted to do a complete rebuild of my C++ code (without actually changing it since the last build) and got the follow compiler error:
‘_Swap_adl’ : is not a member of ’std’
Until an update for this problem is released you can fix this problem by replacing all occurrences of “_Swap_adl” by “swap” in the files that raise this error (e.g. xutility).
Virtual Box 3.0 released
Soon after the second beta, Sun has released the final version of VirtualBox 3.0.
One of its new features is Guest SMP (Symmetric Multiprocessing) with up to 32 virtual CPUs. To use it, a host CPU capable of VT-x or AMD-V is needed.
Besides OpenGL 2.0 support for Windows, Linux and Solaris guest systems, the new version comes with an experimental Direct3D support for version 8 and 9 on Windows guest systems.
Further information can be found in the changelog.
VirtualBox 3.0 can be downloaded from the official download site or on vbox.me for the portable version.
Also still experimental, the Direct3D support is another step in the direction of virtualized GPUs. In the future, direct hardware support should make this even faster and more stable.
