How about "Xote?" (Pronounced "Ho-tay" of course!) Then he could be donkey Xote. ?

Ooo... I don't have that one! I'll have to start another floorboard...

¿Qué?

Mark already posted what I was going to. Smaller SSD for the OS with a larger SSD. It's easy now to both install programs as well as redirect "Libraries" ("Documents," "My Pictures," "My Videos," etc.) to the second SSD. Let the smaller SSD handle the OS, registry and temp files while the larger one handles everything else.

Am I the only one who couldn't help see that hair getting caught in some of the tools? ?

?? Good point. What I should have said is... I miss having brown facial hair naturally...

Yep! 'Tis me. I miss brown facial hair... ?

In Am?

Typical.

What??? No Pro Tools???! ?

By "dorking things up" I mean open files I'm working on that haven't been saved are often completely lost, work that is being processed gets killed (causing file corruption) and then I have to try and remember what I had open and what I was in the middle of. The Chrome tabs tend to come back and, if they don't, I can usually get them back by hitting shift-ctrl-T.

Keep postin'! I find these topics fascinating. (And I mostly see a pinkish/grey shoe that has some splotches near the toes, along with laces and accents in mint condition. ?)

Despite my first post, for full disclosure, I've only used Cakewalk since v1.0 back in the 80's (although any recording gear I have left has been in storage for a few years now).

How much of that crazy white stuff do you get? We probably average only around 4" a year with a decent amount about every fourth year... (and only one year in the 16 I've been up here got close to two feet - 22").

Well, Microsoft has found yet another way to annoy the heck out of me... I got the reminder that an update was pending, so I decided to close out of everything and install the update (NOT an easy thing with all the work I'm doing!). Once everything was closed it now says "You're up-to-date!" even though I'm still on 1809... *Arrghhh!!!* ? (Clicking on "Check for Updates" doesn't work either. I must be down on the update list...) Now I'm worried about getting everything up and going again. (I'm talking usually 30-40 Chrome tabs, 4-6 Excel spreadsheets, Visual Studio, SQL Server Management Studio, various PDF's and text docs, 3-4 different sound and video apps, Outlook, Evernote, Filezilla, Postman, PhotoShop and others!) Then they do a surprise restart on me and dork 90% of things up... *Sigh.*

In addition to all the answers you will probably get here, you might want to check out the forum Bapu created when we all thought Cakewalk was going away forever. It literally was created to discuss this topic (as well as keeping the Coffee House fun going and not losing touch with the members). Check it out here: Beyond My DAW

It's an aspect of the phenomena, but (especially now) you're have also been subjected to a decent amount of suggestion and expectation. One reason many things are tested using animals is that it excludes having the results "colored" (pun in-ten-did) by suggestion, expectation or the placebo effect. In this case, as I alluded to above, how a person perceives color comes into play. My guess is probably more than any brain hemispheric phenomena. One of the primary difficulties in doing any form of brain research is trying to isolate an area to learn about it. The brain is a highly synergistic entity where the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. I've heard of similar "myth busting" when people talk about brain waves. Most have heard of the basics like Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta (from slowest to fastest or about 0.5 Hz to 38 Hz), but newer research is also finding faster waves (called Gamma up to 42 Hz, though other sources now call frequencies as high as 100 Hz Gamma too). I have been involved with brain wave research and entrainment since the 80's including working with a few of the pioneering scientists, and I can tell you that they are definitely still learning a lot of new things! One such area has to do with the fact that different areas of the brain can exhibit different brain frequencies at the same time. Unfortunately, most EEG machines (including the one I used to have) all tend to capture the dominate frequencies using leads attached to the scalp with conductive gel. Because these devices only listen from the outside (and outside the skull too), they have an inherent deficiency in defining the spatial, 3D locations that the frequencies are originating from. Newer devices are far better though. When you consider that the cones in your eyes simply translate the wavelength reflected off an object (rods help primarily in low-light situations) and, ironically, the image comes in upside-down, the brain has to then make sense of the input and flip the image over in your head. Since adding the greenish filter to the OP's image adds additional information to the original image that wasn't present, it requires the brain to perform some additional calculations and interpretations. This then leads to yet another rabbit hole: The fact that your subconscious mind filters out the vast majority of the data gathered by the senses, how it filters things out can vary wildly from person to person. For this area, instead of shoes, I prefer examples like the image below where the two squares (identified by the arrows) are actually the same color. You can prove this by importing the image into PhotoShop and "sampling" each square. Another example is this Rubik's Cube. The middle squares on the top and front face are also the same color.

Ok, googling "anything myth" ?

Or "You're a politician? You must not have a brain." ?

A working one?

Lovely shade or purple too! ?

The talent-less blood suckers are always trying to find an angle to convince artists that their work should somehow make them rich instead.
