Other way around, Hamelin is playing pieces written by Kapustin.

There is another recording of Kapustin playing the pieces himself, both recordings are good and both Hamelin and Kapustin are phenomenal pianists!

Francis Shelden founded Brother Paul’s Christian Mission and worked with Adam Starchild, Dyer Grossman and Gerald Richards to abuse underprivileged boys, create and distribute CSAM from North Fox Island in Lake Michigan.

Gerald Richards was arrested and testified in a congressional hearing about the CSAM industry in 1977 in which he laid out the network of organizations that facilitated the creation and distribution of material, the sourcing of victims and legal entities to protect the offenders.

Shelden was also linked to the Boys’ Farm run by Claudius “Bud” Vermilye where the same child abuse scheme was being run.

More infamously, Shelden and Richards became linked to the Oakland County Child Killer case, where four children were kidnapped and murdered in the late 70s. Officially unsolved, it was linked to Christopher Busch, son of H Lee Busch, an executive at General Motors, Christopher was a known child abuser who was arrested in the midst of the murder spree, admitted to cruising for victims in the locations where previous victims had last been seen, and was released by L Brooks Patterson, a DA who would later win a Republican Party Lifetime Achievement Award. ‘The Snow Killings’ book and doc cover the case.

Cathy Broad is victim Tim King’s sister, and she has continued to document her attempts to get justice for her brother on her blog, and wrote a book about official attempts to silence her and victims’ families called ‘Guarded by Jackals’.

And none of the above even touches on any of their connections to Roy Ames, Guy Strait, John David Norman etc.

So much of this is public, and has been for decades.

Glory to you… and your mouse.

You shouldn’t have any Linux-related issues with it, ADAT will only be used to communicate between the Scarlett and Saffire.

The only issue you might run into is clock sync: If your Scarlett is your main interface (connected to your computer), and you are running an ADAT cable from the Saffire to the Scarlett, then the Saffire won’t have a clock to sync to, so you’ll need to run a second cable - e.g. another ADAT, Word Clock (BNC), or something to send clock sync to the other device.

If your second device isn’t synced you’ll probably hear pops and cracks in the audio coming from it. And, if you absolutely can’t get another cable for whatever reason, you can switch the clock master to the second device in your DAW or on the device itself.

Basically, what tasankovasara said, but with a few more details, mostly to underline how important clock sync is. And my experience is the same as theirs - a cable for sound, a cable for clock and it just works.

Also, if you go into a store and ask for ADAT cables and they look at you like you’re from the moon, they’re also called Optical Cables.

I don’t know of an “out-of-the-box” distro for multimedia outside of Ubuntu Studio, but I do know of a utility that will turn any distro into a low-latency, pro audio setup: rtcqs - it runs 10-12 tests on your system and tells you how to set it up for realtime audio, if it isn’t already - this is very much NOT what you asked for, but if you get your system going but it’s not performing like you expect, this could be the thing that fixes all your issues.

Fantasy Girls: Don’t Need 'Em?

Someone forgot about the time that an alien read Riker’s mind to provide him with his perfect woman.

Did it pick Troi, his life-long love interest?

No, because what he wanted was Minuet, a Fantasy Girl created for him on the Holodeck.

I don’t doubt the rest of it, but Riker is very clearly into Fantasy Girls
