BIIIIIIG difference.

I might need some extra help with this one, sdog

the back room

Absynth is a commercial, proprietary software synthesizer, currently in its 4th generation, available on the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS platforms. Developed by Native Instruments GmbH, it combines a range of traditional synthesis techniques (subtractive) and modern (granular, sample-based) to create complex sounds and timbres. It may be used either as a stand-alone program or as a plugin within digital audio workstation (DAW) software such as Logic Pro or Cubase. Absynth is compatible with all major formats of plug-ins: VST, Audio Units, RTAS, DXi, etc.

Absinthe originated in the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland. It achieved great popularity as an alcoholic drink in late 19th- and early 20th-century France, particularly among Parisian artists and writers. Due in part to its association with bohemian culture, absinthe was opposed by social conservatives and prohibitionists. Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud, Vincent van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, and Aleister Crowley were all notorious "bad men" of that day who were (or were thought to be) devotees of the Green Fairy. Absinthe was portrayed as a dangerously addictive psychoactive drug.

Actually I need to stand corrected.

Absinthe IS the original drink which is illegal in the US.
Distillers sold Absynth in the US as a cheap and horrible tasting imitation.

I was wrong.
I assume it's the anesthesia.

Hey Oz -

Please allow me to share some of my Maker's Mark abundance with you, Ian M was kind enough to give me my first bottle as compensation for being ignored when I joined in the fun here, and Dingbat then set me up with a case -- and thanks to her skills and generosity I can now offer you a shot and a bottle to tide you through the rest of your Ozzie day.




Cheers!

I'm sure it was just the anesthesia.

I didn't know they had marketed a mock absinthe here in the U.S. Blech.

Here's the fake: Absente (not Absynth)

Here's a short history and current status: Absinthe

Here's the real stuff: Absynthe

The reason for all the spelling confusion is because of the different countries where it is made.

All right, Ian...consider us stocked with the good stuff.

Much appreciated! Here, try a small glass of absinth:



I did and they're just - indigo? Coolidge!

I'll take it.
I'm sure it will go great with my earlier anesthetic.

Edit: I don't feel good.

Yes sure you're allowed to anything, within the T&C of course. I think all of us like to hear comments about our debates!

It's a little frowned upon to comment, in an ongoing debate, in ways that might give one side or another any advantage.

As to debates that have been completed, but are still awaiting the judges' decision, I don't know. I'd imaging the judges read this thread, too, but whether they'd be swayed or not is another question. I think MemoryShock will fill us in on the etiquette there.

Welcome to the Pub! Coffee, please, double-strong, high-altitude Panamanian if you have it.
