Title: [Wanted] Randy Fromm DVDs
Post by: Superully on July 30, 2010, 03:12:14 PM
ok guys, not that it's new to you or me, but I totally SUCK AT ELECTRONICS and i don't want to pester you with stupid noob questions every single time, that's why i've decided to take action! :spaceace:

i've been wanting to buy the randy fromm dvds for quite a while now, but always backed down because of the price. they show up on KLOV from time to time for around 150 bucks. i don't know if any of you european guys has those sitting comfortably in the DVD rack, because that would obviously be the easiest option. if not, i was wondering if some of the other electro noobs (and i'm sure it's not just me) want to chime in and share the costs. from what i've heard, those dvds / films are pretty old school, but well worth the money nevertheless.

electro noobs of the forum - UNITE 8)

There's also a lot of great tutorials on Youtube. Did you check them?
Title: Re: [Wanted] Randy Fromm DVDs
Post by: Superully on August 02, 2010, 02:24:57 PM
i have, but youtube is so unorganized and you have to decide between usable and crap! having everything on a couple of disks in fine order is going to make life so much easier

How many GB's is it ? , i still have something like 10 GB of free space at the moment..

i don't even have the dvds yet and it's still going to take a while. it's a set of 13 dvds, don't know how "loaded" they are though!

i think they are homebrew dvd's ?  so that means generally that they are 4,7 GB's max in case of single layer

so that would be 13 * 4,7 GB = 61,1 GB's
if he used Double layer, then it will be around 120 GB's

looks like i need to make space on my server  ;D ;D
or hook up an external drive....
(and a lot of patience depending on your upload speed, i can receive with +-1100kb/sec)
maybe its a better plan to ship a spindle of dvd's  8)

i've just checked two disks, both are almost full with 4GB. man, those dvds are totally old school. it's like a lecture at university. i'm pretty sure though they are totally worth the money. i'll probably make a backup of the disks on my harddrive and a copy for etienne who can then put them on his ftp for you guys to download. i wouldn't mind a small paypal donation though ... ;) :-[ (duck)
