entirely freed

«In the “furnace of the cross” and in the fire, says the “Aquarium sapientum,” “man, like the earthly gold, attains to the true black Raven’s Head; that is, he is utterly disfigured and is held in derision by the world, and this is not only for forty days and nights, or years, but often for the whole duration of his life; … Through this spiritual death his soul is entirely freed."» - Jung, Mysterium coniunctionis, pp. 353-354. ...

In ten years of sojourn in ce pays der Teufel, is four times moving due to noise that happens to be made by thugs congregating right underneath my windows enough ?! No, they want it five times in ten years.

And what's the solution?!


Open-ended isolation through rumour-mongering, provocations, stress, sleep deprivation through bands of loitering hooligans who happen to congregate wherever i happen to live, without the least whiff of a legal framework - causing me to move residence four to five times now.

Because police will not deign do civic policing work maintaining order, quiet, and a resident's rights to not be besieged by boisterous hostile loiterers - or even rebuke them when they assault me.
No, the police does big boy police stuff like counter terrorism, and political mobilization and repression.

But noise complaints, hooliganisms, assaults on residents deprived of sleep? that's kid stuff to them. not the essence of civilized living at all.

And neighbors either too scared or helpless or plain apathetic to do anything.

Ableton Live 9 32-bit or 64-bit

There is not much difference in performance between the 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Live 9, however there's a catch. The 64-bit version does not host 32-bit VST plugins - without the use of a third party tool.

Ableton has a very convenient page and Q&A on the differences - between the two editions of Ableton Live 9, "64-bit Myth and Facts".

In effect, it does not differ in performance, except in the ability of using more RAM with plugins or "Ableton sets" that require it.

To host 32-bit VST plugins however, this article, also at the Ableton website, "How can I use and maintain my 32-bit VST plug-ins with the 64-bit version of Live using jBridge on Windows?" says that "third party tools such as jBridge" make that possible.
