Cheers Terry. Yeah I know there's a sound difference. I played on my brother's 12 string for years(speaking of hard to play guitars!). I was just trying to convey the point without splitting hairs. Yeah, a real 12 always sounds a bit unintonated which gives it a slight chorusing effect and it also has somewhat of a sitarish quality from the two strings being so close to each other, which randomly deadens them a bit. The Nashville technique has a clearer sound that isn't fighting with itself as much. In a mix though, it can do a pretty convincing imitation.

New year, new name pwal?

Yeah, when I left that comment I wasnt considering u need it for a backing track. Ive never used backing tracks live. Can I ask why u personally need midi live vs audio backing tracks? Do u have diff singers sometimes come up where u need to change keys? Or maybe u enjoy switching up arrangements on the fly? Im curious the diff ways u take advantage of midi tracks live.

Forgive me Sock, I know u asked specifically about midi. But since u play guitar too, I wanted to make sure u knew about Nashville tuning... Where u string a normal 6 string guitar with only the high strings from a 12 string pack and then double the regular guitar part. This is what I do since I don't own a 12 string guitar. It sounds just like a 12 string but it allows u to play more complex parts with ease. You could also double the Ample midi guitar part using this technique and I bet it'd sound pretty convincing. Again, not what u asked about but I wanted to make sure u were familiar with it. Btw, 12 string packs usually aren't much more expensive than 6 string packs. So since I own only one acoustic, I always buy 12 strings packs. And when I need a 12 string part, I string up the high/octave strings for Nashille tuning, record the part, then throw away the high strings and replace them with the remaining normal 6 strings. So there's practically no extra expense. And if u own a second acoustic, u could always leave it strung up for Nashville tuning so it's ready to go. Anyway, Cheers bud 👍

Cheers Shane. Yeah life's a trip. Im almost 54 and Im the baby brother of six. The last few yrs, Ive lost two older siblings and many friends. But I have absolute faith that death is not the end. I just put my trust in God and enjoy those who are still here with me. When my time comes, I dont want anyone sad for me. I just want them to drink a beer for me and not piss on my ashes 😄

Oh sory Sheens, I hadnt seen the top part of ur message. Thanks for the kind offer but she has a brand new one. I think it's a 2025 Wrangler Sport 4 door. I drive an old truck so every time I ride with her I suck up as much new car smell as I can. 😉 But yeah, it's awesome. The only gripe Ive heard from her was that the top panels don't insulate out the heat as well as a hard top. (South Louisiana summer heat is brutal 🔥😓🔥). But other than that, she LOVES it. Cheers!

You're very welcome 😉 Btw, my daughter drives a Jeep. The other day she taught me about the Jeep wave. She said all Jeep drivers wave to each other. Is that just here in the States or do yall do that too?

Well, Trump seems committed to spreading peace so things should get better. And my prayers go out to yall. Btw, this is the first time Ive knowingly talked to a Dutchman. I want to thank yall for inventing things like WiFi, Waffles, & Eddie Van Halen. Great Job! 👍

Cool. I guess one man's "boring" is another man's "What the hell just happened here?!"

Thanks a lot mettelus. I do have the pro version and I just disabled the updates thanks to your link. I bet you feel important now huh? 😁

Hey Sock. The latest Wndows 10 update was making CbB crash on me. So I restored my computer to a week prior and Cakewalk worked fine again. Im not very tech minded so I'm curious how long I can kick the windows update can down the road before I have issues. Could it be possible to get away with no updating for a couple years?
