I had to pass on picking up those 2 keyboards from my brother. I just don't have any space for them. My "studio" is also my bedroom and TV room (whenever I want to watch sports). It's about 11' X 9' and houses my bed, a stereo cabinet, a chest of drawers, a large, steel office desk, 2 TVs, my Yamaha keyboard, 5 guitars, 2 working computers, 2 non-working computers, 2 small amplifiers, a cabinet holding what remains of my LP collection and a printer. It's a mess.

Is that a tit or a booby?

Yeah, right.

On another note, Sound Click has completely revamped their web site. Only took 17 years.

Black Dog lyrics were a clue on Jeopardy last night.

I hope you have many more years together. After all, you can't throw them away.

Hippo birdie 2 ewes, etc. I saw a great Rundgren concert on AXS TV a month or so ago. It was recorded recently, so it may be a good preview of his tour. It's probably available on demand.

My brother the programmer wants to downsize his studio, so wants to get rid of his 2 keyboards and buy a small controller. One is a Korg MS2000 (he said MK2000, but I couldn't find any info on that). The other is an 88-key (I think) M-Audio controller. He offered them to me to use, or to sell and split the moolah. He is the ultimate hobbyist, meaning he might play them a couple of times a year. They are "like new". I'm going over to check them out later this week, or next after this heat wave breaks.

"No input", meaning nothing being recorded, not "no input selected".

Saturday is the back end of 1 week and Sunday is the front end of the next.

This XP computer my brother the programmer gave me didn't have a modern video card, so I couldn't take advantage of my widescreen monitor's capabilities. Everything was 4:3. A few months ago I bought and installed a G-Force card and it has 3 outputs; VGA, DVI and HDMI. I was using 2 monitors, a 29" Vizio TV/monitor and an HP 20" computer monitor. I just got a new 43" TV for the living room and decided to move the old 32" Vizio TV into my bedroom, um "studio" to use along with the 29". Plugged everything in, turned it all on and I just couldn't get the 32" to display via HDMI. Went through all the video card's settings, changing this, resetting that. Nothing worked. I thought I had screwed myself royally by setting the non-working monitor as the main monitor (don't do that!) but got it back to the working monitor, somehow. The 32" was listed in the video settings, but was grayed out. Back to the video settings to try to discover how to turn the HDMI output on. No joy. Finally decided to start all over again, reconnecting, resetting, etc. The HDMI plug wasn't connected to the video card. It had somehow gotten pulled out. Everything is cool now.

Thanks again, Steve. Works ~2% jumps. I'm lazy and it's there.

Another option! Thanks, Steve!

Give me one that makes $$$$$$.

Before I start randomly pressing buttons and screwing something up or searching the 'net and getting 103,624,701 results, in Edge, does anyone know how to zoom the screen in increments other than 25% at a time? Seventy-five percent is too big and 50 is too small. I suppose I could upgrade my reading glasses to 1.75s. Or sit across the room with a wireless keyboard and mouse. Thanks!

Recording MIDI should be fairly straightforward with any MIDI instrument. How are you connected? MIDI cables or USB? What's your audio interface? Have you downloaded the latest drivers for the Yamaha?

You could always rent the gear and darn the storm.

MM, are you saying that you want a project to play the metronome, perhaps to practice to, with no data in the tracks? I don't think that is possible. Instead, set it up to record with no input and the met set to play on record.

Cakewalk's guitar chord library.

Sing the loud and soft parts at different times with different recording levels. The caveman approach.

Temporarily, perhaps you can slip-edit all the tracks to the place you want it to stop.

Whenever I add a photo to a song in WMP, that pic will then display on my phone.

Simples! Alas, the moment has passed. Like gas.

How do you weed through all the chaff when looking for something specific on boob boob? It's maddening!

What else can you do when you tune up, turn on and dropouts!
