A crusty old Marine Sergeant Major found himself at a gala event hosted by a local liberal arts college. There was no shortage of extremely young idealistic ladies in attendance, one of whom approached the Sergeant Major for conversation. "Excuse me, Sergeant Major, but you seem to be a very serious man. Is something bothering you?" "Negative, ma'am. Just serious by nature." The young lady looked at his awards and decorations and said, "It looks like you have seen a lot of action." "Yes, ma'am, a lot of action." The young lady, tiring of trying to start up a conversation, said, "You know, you should lighten up. Relax and enjoy yourself." The Sergeant Major just stared at her in his serious manner. Finally the young lady said, "You know, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but when is the last time you had s-e-x?" "1955, ma'am." "Well, there you are. No wonder you're so serious. You really need to chill out! I mean, no s-e-x since 1955! She took his hand and led him to a private room where she proceeded to "relax" him several times. Afterwards, panting for breath, she leaned against his bare chest and said, "Wow, you sure didn't forget much since 1955." The Sergeant Major said, after glancing at his watch, "I hope not; it's only 2130 now."

I know nothing about assembling pc's but to my simple mind it would make more sense to save up until you can afford all the parts and then do it. Can't see the point in having a half assembled computer lying around for however long it takes with whatever warranty the parts may have gradually expiring before the thing has ever even been switched on. My DAW pc is also win 7, but I will only replace it when I am forced to by incompatability issues or if it breaks in a not financially viable to fix way.

I use Omnisphere all the time without issues so I don't think it's specific to that. As has been mentioned the deletion of a synth can cause a track to reassign itself to another but mostly I use the replace synth rather than delete. If I could have found a way to unfreeze the frozen but not frozen instance of Omni I was pretty close to fixing it, but nothing I could do would change that. The only other thing that beat me was how I ended up with two instances (out of 5/6) of Iris 2 both called Iris 2 1 whereas the others were correctly labelled as Iris 2 2, Iris 2 3 etc..........Not sure how you get 2 instances/output tracks of the same synth both called 1. If I do delete a synth for some reason I always check the delete tracks option too so I really don't know why/how they all got messed up. The frozen audio was all correct so clearly it was set up properly at point of freezing. As I said I put it down to a corrupt file and moved on, but if it's happening to you a lot I can see how that would be a concern. Luckily just the once for me. Sorry I have no answer for you, just thought it might help you to know that at least you're not alone.

Someone must have drunk some. It was full when I left it there.

I also once had this problem on a project. All frozen instrument tracks and it played ok when they were frozen (ie the state I had left it in previously) but unfreeze one and the midi output had changed to a different (and still frozen) synth, so nothing played and I couldn't freeze it again because the synth it should have been assigned to was still frozen. Tried another and same result. Tried unfreezing all the synths so that I could reassign outputs and it was a total mess. Split all the instrument tracks to reveal the midi tracks and nothing was assigned to where it should be, some midi tracks were assigned to the same incorrect synth. One synth even when re-assigned refused to make a sound even though all the routing was corrected and one synth remained frozen in the synth rack view,but the audio still showed in track view and the * icon in TV appeared as not frozen. I spent hours trying to put it straight and never quite managed it because I couldn't re-create the synth that was showing as frozen but wouldn't unfreeze (omnisphere IIRC) as I had no idea what patch was selected. It was only a half baked thing anyway, so I put it down to a corrupt file and gave up in the end.

Maybe he's only just realised?

Better than that 'cos you don't get to choose your real family.

This is a shot......... The other thing is just me busting Bapu's chops. It's an unwritten CH rule that someone has to do it at least once a week. Don't feel bad for him, he likes attention.

The current one is horrific enough for me.

No plug-ins that I'm currently aware of, but mebbe this....

I'm writing a song about this thread, so now it's all music related.......... As you were chaps...........

Someone I used to know had a married aunt who was actually only a couple of years older than him and his wife, so they were at more or less the same stage of life and thus had a lot in common so the two couples spent a fair amount of time together. One evening at his aunt's house she asked them if they liked watching adult movies and as it seemed clear that his aunt and uncle did they said that they did too mostly because it somehow seemed less embarrassing to say that they didn't in the company of the clear enthusiasts. They didn't want to appear prudish.This was the aunt's cue to whack a tape in the VCR and press play.................. It was an amateur film and the "stars" looked very familiar.................................

Typical.

Yes it is because I haven't bought it yet so it's a 14 day trial.

I'll have a look at that later, but now I've learned that it replaces the existing .dll I'm not sure I want an expiring demo to do that.

Hmmm, that's not great - don't really want a time limited demo overwriting a valid installation.

Yes, there was some dialogue at the time and IIRC he said the problem was because of softsynths in instrument tracks. I'm not that bothered tbh as I don't particularly like Reaper anyway - it was only a worst case scenario experiment when the future of CW was unknown.

Well so far I've spent over an hour installing it and trying to get the VST scanner to recognise the .dll which didn't happen so I gave up.

Bizarrely at Plug in boutique UK pricing is £12 and change for Loom 2 but £40 and change for the upgrade.? I promised myself no more synths, but the force is strong at $9.99..... Downloading demo in last ditch attempt to convince myself that I don't need it.

He should of known by now that your not the kind of person that tolerates bad grammer.
