It's excellent, Mikhail. The layout is clean and crisp and the
target levels for the articles range from newbie to guru. I did spot a few
problems with the English, though. Mostly semantics, so no biggie.
(Perhaps audio card or audio hardware would be better terms than
noisegenerator.)

All in all, it's quite good. Thanks to all involved for expending the
effort.

Lol... I think you lost me somewhere during that last sentence.
You know, of course, that there's a pun hidden there. That is, if you know
that redolent is also a synonym for odorous. :^D

Thanks, LittleJohn!

Yes, English is one of the problems with the project since none
of us is a native English speaker. (Maybe somebody will join us
as a language editor?)

As for the "noisegenerator", we choose to preserve the original
posts as much as possible to keep the style and spirit of the
authors unless an author explicitly asks us to change something
or we find an obvious typo.

Anyway, thanks for the remark. It's a point to consider.

Regards,
Mikhail

Not by a long shot! I only wish this was up when I started out back on Slack
7.0.

Now get a hit counter and stop worrying ;-)

I second that advice :-)

Well, knowing what kinda stuff's mostly played thru the audio devices
nowadays, the term is even an understatement ;-)

Please, don't take risks of wakenin' up some trolls here, we
had some scores of minutes quiet recently )

Then, the question on "noisegenerator" 's to be asked to
Thomas Overgaard, but I guess it was not much a barabarism
but an innuendo of a slight musical critic ;-)

Better keep on this line and keep the "crisp" !

Thank you--very much appreciated.
