The oxidization causes a slight reasistance change in the wire because the electrons always move on the surface of the cable, so if the surface gets covered with coopper oxide there has to be some trouble.

That's my vision. Not sure about it though, but it seems logical.
Yeah, it sounds fair! Btw, good description... =)

You know, when I used sampled sounds, they contained to wav files - L and R - to get a more realistic surround.

I make all my own cables - it ends up being cheaper as you can customize the length. I only use Delco cable that has 2 pr + GND and Neutrik connnectors. That way I can make stereo cables out of one wire. Saves money and is less confusing when you have just one "wire" for each device.

yep i use stereo samples most of the time too....but because i use an external (hardware) sampler, i send the samples from my computer (after ive played around with them in wavelab and recycle) to my sampler via scuzzi....that way i get the best quality...

now about the cables again: i try to use half decent quality cables specialy for the inportant stuff...ie: my desk to the computer and from synths/samplers to the desk...hehehe that turns out to be pretty much everything.....for the audio cables that have to be close to power, i use heavily insulated....

I like high quality: I always use cables with gold plated tips... but not the most expensive ones.

I'm trying not to buy all things... so I've never been thinking about buying a sampler, but maybe it's a good idea. What's the name of your sampler?

Yeah, I think that's may be true =).
Btw, why are you thinking about getting a new sampler? Maybe you are freaky, just like I am. *he,he*

freaky?! well...maybe just a little. (but in a good way of course. hehehe)..

about the sampler...recently ive been recording some live musicians here in japan and having a sampler with the variphrase technolgy would help me to peice bits together....being able to pitch shift and stretch sections of music in real time would speed up the creation process!

money is the only problem at the moment though
