To get this to work in Rails 2.1 (and probably later versions) all I had to do was

config.gem ’soap4r’, :lib => false

in my environment.rb. No finagling of boot.rb required.

I would like to learn more about audio compression. Is there a video tutorial that explains how to use compression. I have a basic DBX compressor and my problem is I can’t seem to quiet the loud notes so they don’t over power the low notes,(for a more even bass guitar sound) or do I need a limter for this problem?

Comment on Friday Dream Projects Week 7: Audio Compression Edition by Techdirt gets it wrong about mp3 music quality

Techdirt gets it wrong about mp3 music quality — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 18:44:38 +0000

[...] The reason I even mention this article is that this was a subject of a recent post on this blog. Techdirt doesn’t get the issue, since the issue isn’t about the mp3 format, it is about the dynamic range of the music (aka audio compression, not to be confused with data compression that mp3s are known for).

Good point on having quality drive controllers, 3ware has worked great for us.

Andrew,

I can sympathize – I had a software RAID 1 fail as well, but it was due to a bad hardware controller (fried both drives at once), not due to the software RAID itself. Since then, I make sure to invest in reliable drive controllers first. The Slashdot article I mentioned talked about the downside of hardware RAID, as well as the upside, and is a great reference for making an informed decision either way.

And, as you mentioned, RAID 1 is not a backup solution, only a n availability solution.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
