Adelaide the song.
Hi. I hear a song now and again on the radio. It goes like this:

I'm a simple boy from little old Adelaide...

I've been wondering for a while what it is. By the way, it's not Ben Folds' song called Adelaide.

Any help on title/artist would be great. --Gunny01 11:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

ProTools/Audacity/Digital Audio Workstations
Hello,

I've done searches, and I can't find the answer to this question...I've also cross-posted this in the computer section.

When looking at the computer screen in a digital audio workstation such as Pro Tools or Audacity, there is a visual representation of the recorded sound over time. What does this image actually represent - is it volume, intensity, frequency, or some other quality or mix of these qualities? In other words, what does that actual visual graph of the audio have as its axes?

Thanks!

Eliza


 * Amplitude. You can also see frequency (and therefore pitch) by looking at the waveform over time. Also, please don't cross-post questions, and this question probably should have been posted in Science. - Zepheus &lt;ゼィフィアス&gt; 20:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

"Where Is the Love?"
The article Where Is the Love? says that the song is the first song by the Black Eyed Peas to include Fergie on it, but I can't hear her on it. Is this right - it could be the first *album* to include Fergie, but I don't think she's in this song, is she? zafiroblue05 | Talk 20:53, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * You can hear her harmonizing in the chorus (the chorus first comes in around 0:51), beginning with "People killing, people dying…" and ending with "…people got me got me questioning / Where is the love?". Listen in around 1:17 to 1:22 and you should hear her on her own. − Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 21:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

The Matrix Online
While it was obvious that the Slumberil excursion was an official taste of an alternative reality game (ARG) for The Matrix Online (MxO) the same official standing isn't so obvious for either Matrixism or MetaCortex. My question is are Metcortechs/MetaCortex or Matrixism: the path of the One official ARG extensions for The Matrix Online? 206.188.56.37 23:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Jurassic Park III
What happens to be the aircraft that those people are flying in to go on the aerial tour of the dinosaur island. I am thinking it is a beechcraft king air.--Biggie 23:51, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The only way to be sure is to contact the manufacturer or the film makers. If you're happy with a guess, you could try contacting experienced parasailers. - Mgm|(talk) 10:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
