A lot to be said for that. I actually stuck with 8.5 right up until X3 came out because I hated the drab grey interface of the X series. That and the fact that X1 was clearly a problem child. I bought back in at X3 only because of the melodyne integration and the fact that I was considering buying Addictive drums anyway, so the upgrade price made it a no-brainer and it was at least possible by then to replace some of the drab greyness and the way things were going it seemed like that this might be the last time it would be possible to grab actual install discs. I didn't bother with Platinum until they brought out the Tungsten theme and then it was like finally being home again, except someone had made a reasonable job of tarting the place up a bit. We all know what happened next......and I didn't even bother with that for a year or more. I still operate several updates behind as each release seems to be very quickly followed by something to fix that release. Might as well let those who feel compelled to have the latest and greatest every time take the pain. They obviously like it.

They no longer need to worry that the hat might ruin their hairstyle?

Oooh, getting out of the pool to have a pee...... How the other half live.

Sez the Overlord*....... -1 > 1834 *And they're always right, right?

I wonder what it feels like to have such a lowly and pathetic percentage...... Would you care to enlighten me Strummy? 😁

I've got an even older one made by Kraftwerk which was even cheaper than that. The Robotic Has Been Clap.

What are they giving to people who already have them?

I can't be bothered to read all of what you wrote there. Can you make it a bit shorter for me?

Can you please edit your post to clarify that Louise may not actually be responsible for what others fail to read ?

OTOH Native Instruments. Also Useless.

This was your first mistake.😉

I've found that the best way to avoid becoming annoyed with IK is to not buy their products.

"There's too much water"........ "There's not enough water....." It seems to me that Bill is very difficult to please when it comes to water.

Bargain. LOL.

Kids are so over-rated, but very good at manipulation. Many moons ago one somehow managed to make me into the bad guy because I didn't think that it feeding biscuits to my VCR was adorable.

Do you want to be my dad too?

Valentine's day is supposed to be for mystery admirers so if she doesn't like it then it's the other guys fault.😉

I hear you there. Anything important to me is obviously backed up, but I don't bother with my www lappy for example because if I did I'd spend my whole life making copies of the HD.

I'm not quite following what you are saying re the mystery vocal on an empty track that is in solo mode, but looking at your picture track 1 is also in solo mode so presumably that is playing back too. Are there any layers in track 1 that are also playing? It certainly seems that you are going the long way about using melodyne though. The quickest way to work is to select the clip you want to work on (some people keep their original recording hidden/muted as a non molested back up and only work on duplicate tracks, but changes can all be removed up until you have bounced to clip) and then Ctrl+M to open the clip in melodyne and make your edits. Ctrl+B when you're happy with the edit and you're done. If at any point during editing you make changes that you regret, you can either use the undo function within melodyne or remove everything and start over by right clicking on the clip > Region FX > Melodyne > Remove region FX. Out of habit from using CW's somewhat flaky V-vocal in the past I tend to not leave open edits when exiting a project, but TBH I don't think it matters too much with melodyne other than your project will load quicker if it doesn't have lots of melodyne instances to insert. HTH.

Assuming that you are addressing me Noel, I cannot give you exact information now as I used system cleanup to delete it all, but when I looked at the location every file was associated with CW which was not surprising to me as it's an offline pc that I basically only use for CW. I figured that it must be dumping a whole copy of the project with audio included for every crash to build up such an amount of error related data. Next time it happens I will give you more info if this is something you want to look into. I only asked you this way because I thought it might be a simple uncheck this box in so and so menu type answer.

This is what bothers me about the idea of SSD's. For all the talk of superior speed, no moving parts=more reliable from what I read (never had one) like USB sticks or memory cards they work perfectly exactly until they don't. No warning, That's it. Gone. In my admittedly very limited experience regular HD's at least give you some kind of clue that they are on the way out. Is that a misconception on my part ?

IIRC this was a big CPU muncher with zero velocity layers when I demo'd it before. Nice UI though.

Ahh, this might explain why this happens to me after a crash (FA-66 interface). Can't even end it in Task Manager. Sometimes opening another audio prog such as Audacity will clear it, but other times I have to log off in windows and then that clears it. On a related note, is there anyway to stop CW dumping GB's of files into system error memory dump every time it crashes ? A while back, investigating why my OS HD kept filling up when nothing new had been changed/added for a long time led me to 35GB worth of CW related files in this location, which I guess came from crashes? Apologies if I haven't used quite the right terminology on the location it is dumped to, but it is something like that. Using disk clean-up I can get rid of it, but it would be nice to not have to keep doing it.

Does this lead to El Snapo?
