    Hey I know some of you hate the premiere feature, but I personally enjoy talking to you while the video runs. I am a live musician at heart and audience feedback is what I love. Its much more satisfying to me this way. No worries, I won't do it with every video. Thanks, and enjoy the show!

      Can't say I've yet made it to a premiere, but in theory I like the concept. I worked for several years at a live video streaming company, and it was evident that live "performance" and interacting with fans simultaneously was a challenge (often requiring multiple people just to coordinate things in more successful scenarios). The nice thing about the premiere idea is that you can present a fully edited video and interact with folks at the same time.

      Sure, different purpose compared to what it was designed for, but you're still using it educationally. Music is education. And education can be science! (and I believe it is, in this case)

I have a PAR CR-4 preamp (like the one you see on top of that GenRad 1564A analyzer/filter...the small black-cased box) that was out of some lab at a facility that did a lot of nuclear physics, and apparently it caught a few stray neutrons and something in it is a tad "hot". Nothing dangerous, but I wouldn't make a point of using mine as a pillow.

      One time Jimmy Hendrix was supposed to play a show for German TV. During rehearsals, a concerned German Tonmeister, a classically trained master sound engineer, came about and carefully showed Herr Hendrix how to set his amp so it would not distort. Herr Hendrix looked politely but uncomprehendingly at the meister's work, before rolling all knobs up to max in one smooth gesture and playing it like the god he is. Moral? Distortion can be good or bad, depending on the Observer.
