How could I have not know that "This" is what you were talking about.    ?
 

Or it could havebeen "that" over "there".

Well, how much was it?

LOL!!

I have to drink at least 64oz of water a day. I also drink lots of coffee (it's a diuretic). I travel a lot so I am on the road a lot. Reading your tale I am feeling every second you had to wait!! I have some methods I have learned to cope with this if you want some hints!! : )

I thought that was a photoshopped pic!! Or a very old pic!! LOL!!

Scat? LOL. I'd watch that video!!

I did find it interesting. But I couldn't help but ask myself why would someone go through all that to do what they could do ITB?

But it was worth the watch!

Well that was different. Usable? Unknown.

they cannot reset your password?

If you don't get one, go to your account and fill out a sales support ticket. 

Try going to Preference /?/VST and doing a Reset. If you have your scaring set to Auto it will start a VST scan right after you press Reset. If not, then after pressing Reat, press Scan. 

Not at my computer so I can't  remember what's the heading for the ? above.

And now you know why it took me 20 years to buy a single-coil guitar (though I do appreciate them now!). ?

Same here. I didn't get a single coil guitar until a few years ago.

?thank the themesters for putting in the effort to make our Cakewalk experience so much more fun and pleasing to the eye.

 Agreed.

I would wait Bill. That was a great help they gave with that message.  And like Hidden is saying, it may have been exposed to tremendous changes if it went by air.

Just talk a walk around the block..... a few times!! : )

Guitars or Guitarists in bikinis?

For some reason I had a thought of Keith R playing on a beach in........ Never mind.

Wow Mike. What a story! Glad your recovering. Hope you get out Monday too. Triple by-pass? Get well soon!

Regarding the TM 5000 dollar levitation class, this is as fake as it gets. Only not fake thing is the debt on your credit card. Apologies to any of you doing the Transcendental Meditation process, but got to call it for what it is. Pure bull shit rip off.

I knew that for the simple reason they asked for money. A lot of it too!!

I only have two out of the 15. H-Rev and IK Classic Studio. No AR Plates? No PSP 2425?

IDK. SMH

frei:raum by Sonible looks interesting. As far as I can tell, it does not need iLok. It this correct?

I just downloaded the free version and had a play around; it seems really impressive.

I've not used it for long so this is probably a dumb question, but how do I get it to play a drum part that I write? Would I write a basic groove, export it to a MIDI file, and then import it again as a style? If that's the case, would I typically keep it short (e.g. 4 bars); or would I write a full 16 bar verse and use that as the MIDI style? And then do I repeat for the chorus?

Sorry for so many questions; just trying to understand how it works

Excellent questions.

1. Several ways. You can set Jamstix to play the midi file from a channel you assign to it. On the top left you will see 'Midi Playback' use that to play any midi file you have. You can also import the midi file, and this is when it gets really interesting and fun. Go to Groove and click that. Then select Special Styles/Import and read the description. This is how you can use a midi file that you create (or pre-made like Groove Monkee) to create a style that you want.

2. If you write the part in Jamstix, you can save it as a new style!! And get any number of different drummers to try it and see what they come up with. Yes, it's that powerful. Or like I said previously that you can import a midi trk and save it as a new style. I don't think I have used more than 8 bars for a new style. And as little as one bar. Just depends on what your going for. Beauty of the program is you can have more than one style or drummer in a song. Yep, it's that powerful!!

3. Here is the fantastic part: Once you got the style you want, you go to the song section tell Jamstix to put an intro in, then a verse, then a pre chorus, then a chorus and let it come up with the parts on it's own! Just like you explain to a real drummer how you want a song played, then you turn him loose. Then you can select to add some swing to certain parts of the song, or the whole song. Select different power levels for each part of the song (and this affects how the drummer plays the part).This thing gets really deep. I'll just leave it there.

Will there be some fine tuning? Of course. But what you can come up with is only limited by your own input. You will have to spend time with it and the manual. I am still going back in the manual and learning. For certain songs I found that Jamstix did a better job than any of the programs I have. It was all about the feel. It's got feel. Good feel. You just have to learn how to use it. No way around that. Your time will be well rewarded.

And it's sounds are very usable. They benefit from external processing for certain. But they do have a very natural sound to them.

I believe he doesn't ask enough money for what this program can do. At this price it is a no-brainer.

Mark, thanks for the link to the videos. I will give them a watch. I also use AD to go along with or instead of the Jamstix sounds. I find it works best with AD, and not EZD.

That was a surge in electrical puns! Quite shocking.

You doing a fine job! Keep it up! : )

What brand is it? I missed that part.

[edit] I watched the video.  nice. Looks great too. You should be happy. Lets us know when you get it.

Bill, I have seen some incredible players that could read anything you put in front of them. Couldn't come up with an original tune on their own.

Seen great players in bars that amazed me in their command of the instrument, and after 30 minutes of listening to them my wife would turn to me and say,  "I'm ready to leave." They couldn't entertain her. (most of the people in the bars were musicians!)

I could never figure it out. Other than the reason I keep playing and have devoted a very large chunk of my life to it is I love it. I really do. So it's my personal enjoyment that matters in the end of it. Not what others think of me.

I'll give a listen when I get home. Though I am a lot like JohnG and that my age and hearing are both used up.

JohnG you worked on the Concords?

I was really enjoying the conversation that Gswitz was having with himself in the first part of this thread!!
