Just do yourself a favor. i wholehearedly second that, having been initiated into the ranks of the tinnitus afflicted 5 months ago, i can only say that in some respects it has made my life a living hell. (imagine having a extremely minimal sahko track on in your head ALL THE TIME. belive me, the novelty wears off *real* fast...)if you love music and more importantly if you write tracks yourself, you'll need to have your ears in good shape for a long long time... i'm only 21 and it really pisses me off that for the rest of my life i'll have to plan around this shit. and man, do i feel like kicking my own ass now for not being careful enough... (ironically, i was aware of tinnitus and thought i *was* being careful enough... well, i guess i was wrong. sigh) anyway, i would highly recommened checking out the tinnitus FAQ on how to protect yourself: http://www.cccd.edu/faq/tinnitus.html (if this site dosen't work there are a bunch of other sites that have it) and now for something completely different: how does saber's of paradise sabersonic2 compare to sabersonic1? i sold my copy of saber1 soon after it was deleted and been wanting it back ever since... so is saber2 equally good (i know it has some tracks on it from saber1) or is it just a bad sequel...? thanks in advance. :spacecake:
