I use Dashlane. It syncs all my passwords between, iPhone, iPad and multiple PCs. All works automagically. 

First time in years I didn’t buy anything at all. Congratulations to all who didn’t succumb and also to those that did but grabbed a bargain. Guess you can’t lose. 

Let’s face. In reality far too many folks have ambition that outstrips their abilities.
When they can’t operate a complex piece of software, blame the software. It’s not intuitive enough. 

I use Symlink. 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/symlink-creator/

it creates a right click menu item. No more having to use the cmd line. 

Yay CbB. 
All hail @cclarry 

Thanks Bob.

Leilani and I have self-imposed dietary restrictions. It's an anti-inflammatory diet and it's very low in sugars, carbohydrates and foods with high arachidonic acid.

Before the diet my inherited bursitis was so bad I couldn't walk 2 blocks without sitting and resting and I couldn't drive for more than 15 minutes or so without an ice pack on my hip. Now I walk 4 miles a day with zero pain and driving for hours doesn't bother me at all.

It's worked just as well for a sports injury in my hand where arthritis set in.

It's not an easy diet to follow, but it's better than being in pain or taking drugs which for these conditions have unfortunate side-effects.

I got the diet from a doctor who told me to try it before resorting to anything else and it works.

Notes

PS as a side effect, I never get sick. This year I went off diet when I was in Vienna for a week, ate a bunch of desserts. I must have caught a cold on the plane. A few days later I got a cold that consisted of; one day runny nose, one day mild cough. That was it. I think the last time I caught anything was 15-20 years ago.

I read something in Scientific American a few years ago explaining why, but I really don't remember exactly what it was. It's about some immune system cells that reside in your mucus membranes that inflammatory foods, especially sugars and starches suppress.

Is it a specific plan you follow or do you mean just in general terms, Bob. 
What’s your source for Arachidonic acid? Eggs or supplements?

That sounds like one serious prostate examination.

Can’t quite put my finger on it. 

Becon as promised. A whole shipping container of it. Even labeled. 
 

I now have a full time job. 
 

Updating all my software programs and plugins. That’s all I use my computer for. 

How do you know the drum riser is level?

When the drummer drools equally from both sides of their mouth. (Wish I could draw a cartoon)

Speaking of Becon. I must remember to take a photo of a building site on return from doctor tomorrow.  
All will be revealed then.  

@InstrEd

To be honest, my CbB knowledge is so far behind the curve these days. When I’ve been upstairs recently I found myself unqualified to offer any real technical help.
I vowed I wasn’t going to get so involved again, that I would ever be effected adversely by the going’s on in a forum. Moving past, putting things behind me or overlooking things doesn’t seem to work for me like it used to so I’d rather just keep my interaction level where it is now.

I’m itinerant these days but I used to be a very frequent participant in the old Sonar forums and I am a seasoned Sonar user. 
I got miffed by a specific situation during the  transition to CbB and never learned to get past it. 

Apart from a recent foray into the “upstairs”, I generally make the occasional contribution to the more humerus threads in the Coffee House. 
 

It’s pleasant enough here and no one goes out of their way to be nasty. Besides that when I was deathly ill  earlier this year, I received a lot of great support and encouragement from everyone here.  The best part without question. 

Group hug time. C’mon you know you want to. C’mon now. Get your group hugs here. 

If anyone wants it, I have a large zip file with scores of cal scripts and just about all the info ever written on the subject. 

Espresso, chaps. Espresso no X espresso. 

Alright. I’ve checked the dictionary and it seems you’re allowed to use eXpresso  because its being used often enough to become accepted. Hmm

Let the debate begin.

It’s been ages since I’ve spent any time upstairs, so thought I’d pay a visit. Seems just like the old forums, same questions except the versions are newer. Didn’t encounter any flashing threads, all pretty polite and civil. Verry noice.

Can anyone let me know if I can reverse whatever this tool did so I can try again with sound forge?

Thanks

Jono

I only provided the link. The tools were made by scook who is an expert CbB user and programmer. Yes. I have SF13 working no problem. Spend some time reading all of scook’s instructions as they’re very comprehensive.  Yes, you can reverse any entries made using the functions within the tool to delete entries made.

Here’s the link

There’s a whole forum section devoted to posting deals. Just thought you might like to know. 

Reading this thread might help convince you about Cakewalk by BandLab.

Lookup pg 379 and onwards in the Reference Guide. 
There are settings allowing how strictly CbB snaps to grid. Magnetic is a keyword search that will help you. 
There are many Snap settings not just On or Off

Half a lifetime ago I was burgled, replaced all my equipment 6 weeks later and was burgled again. Apparently that’s a thing. Burgle again after insurance has paid out and/or equipment replaced. All the measures I undertook to secure the house I was renting were to no avail. Deadlocks and bolts on all doors and windows. It looked like they just smashed the door in with a sledge hammer. The stile with dead bolts and locks was just hanging on the door frame. Lots of lessons learned. 
I feel for you Keni, it’s a gut wrenching time. Hearing someone else suffer the same stirs up all those feelings again. Same happened a few years back when Bitflipper was burgled. It’s sickening. A real violation. 
It really makes you grateful for what you have. 
All the best to you Keni.

Looking over that spreadsheet and seeing a dozen modules in the ProChannel that X3 did not come with, but are now included in CbB, is darn sharp! 

And it sparked a question in my mind:

Can anybody describe the difference between our ProChannel vs Scheps Omni Channel (on sale for $40 for another 7+ hours)?  Would there by any reason to obtain Scheps Omni?

A matter of taste really.

Why don’t you demo it. You can download a free trial. 

I have both, but prefer ProChannel because it’s convenient, built right in and the various FX are more than serviceable. Above all I’m used to it and how it sounds. Also there were a few plugins that extended the functionality of the ProChannel. 
There’s nothing wrong with Scheps, but it is a little heavier in CPU usage. 
A general principle I rely on when using channel strips is to not mix and match. Of course thats a hangover from the analog days where the console you had dictated your channel strip. In the digital era I guess there’s only  guiding principles. You can do anything you want. Whether it sounds good or works well is another question. 
I bought the Waves Mercury bundle quite a few years ago now and all the Scheps plugins were included along with updates. I probably wouldn’t have bought a seperate channel strip, already having ProChannel. 

 

Maybe the instructor’s strange. Not you. 👍
