Well, that bapu knows how to play in Am

yeah, but only on a base geetar...

A picture, not very good, just taken with my Moto G:-

I must break out my DSLR one night...

I'm a frayed knot, Craig

Well, it arrived. Weighs a tonne... Never had a full tower before!

I only had time to verify that it switches on then I had to get back to other stuff. It was my youngest son's birthday yesterday (currently half past midnight here in the UK) and, of course, I had to be in attendance.

I managed to jump back to it about ninety minutes ago and I am currently, and very slowly, installing stuff and changing settings to suit. I also installed the GPU, which wasn't fitted during the main build. That appears to be okay and I am seeing if I have time to download a game to test it out.

Plugged in my two OCTA-CAPTUREs and although I haven't installed a DAW yet, I can at least confirm that they function as audio devices.

So much to do... I'll be back in about a week with some pics 

Not that there is much to see...

One hour to delivery time...

2019

UPDATE

I have received confirmation that it is one the way to the courier. So, could be here tomorrow (Friday) or, more than likely Monday.

This is a quote from the PreSonus site, regarding "MIDI and beyond MIDI"

Quote

MIDI—and beyond MIDI.

Studio One works with all the standard MIDI gear you know and love, from controllers to tone modules. But once MIDI data arrives into Studio One, it’s converted to a high-resolution, 32-bit internal format. That means no zipper noise on instruments, smoother controller changes and pitch bends, more detailed automation, and other benefits when working in the Studio One environment. And if you need to drive external MIDI gear, you’re covered there too—Studio One translates its high-resolution format back into standard MIDI data if it needs to return to the outside world.

but I don't see much market for MIDI 2.0

That depends, of course... For me personally, I couldn't give a monkeys if MIDI 2.0 never gets off the ground. I have three pieces of MIDI hardware synths and two hardware effects units that accept MIDI for sync'ing tempo and for patch changes. I ain't going to be investing in new hardware anytime soon, I've got enough, and if I do then it will be CV/Gate stuff, not MIDI.

I also don't do micro tonal stuff. Hell, I don't even use the black notes except by accident.

But there may be many that are looking forward to it, and I am happy for them.

cheers

Any good?

Not really, John.

I see all this MIDI 2.0 stuff more important for peeps who use MIDI hardware stuff, not software instruments.

That was the original problem, it was too small to be read when I did a direct upload. Let me try again.

I'm curious, what has Garittan ARIA Player got to do with MIDI 2.0, or even plain old MIDI?

Isn't an empty track taking Ambient music to the extreme? 😆

been done before...

My REAPER layout is pretty simples and the default theme suits me really. I use empty tracks as dividers and are visible in both TCP and MCP

Let's just, silently, abandon the thread XD

Not now that you have suggested it, as it was sinking to the bottom anyways......

You'd think something called an i9 would come with NINE processors, not eight, ya? 😉

Perhaps the i8 is a nine processor CPU?

Old news, I guess... 5.971 is out (I totally missed it)

It sounds great and I hope you have it soon. I think you are getting a great computer. 

Thank you John

An interesting watch.

I remember when I first watched a Dream Theatre performance on DVD. A friend lent it to me. I wasn't familiar with Dream Theatre at all so this performance was my first encounter.

I found it rather tiresome and boring and after a while I stopped watching. It quite literally gave me a headache... Just too much "virtuosity" for my liking.

Patience 😰Is it done yet😀 

Haha! Still in testing... I think they just leave it running some stuff all on its lonesome.

Here is a video of the place it is being assembled and tested, it is mahoosive! :-

Taking a bit longer than I thought... Currently "in testing" so shouldn't be long now

An easy answer to that would be, install Cakewalk and give it a try. Let us know how you get on

my guess is, yes, the new Cakewalk should open old Cakewalk cwp files.

Not sure about older wrk files...

Thanks for your insights, @Jim Hurley 

I've gone with a traditional cooler, for now. I opted for a full tower so that I can add a few more fans if need be. In the meantime I will just have to see how it goes.

cheers

Dude next time supply us some ear plugs 😁 

I did say "noise."

That should have been a small clue
