1. Not an issue. 2. I don't do credit. 3. The lack of strings is one of the best things about it, 4. No.

...apart from the price (4200 UK beer tokens), the colour and the manufacturer's propensity to go bankrupt why I should stop even thinking about it because strangely even those really very good ones aren't totally working at the moment.. https://waldorfmusic.com/mk2/

Phew. I'll take that as a sign that there is still hope for me...

I go more along these lines..... Whoever set that up has actually spoiled it by putting on too much of it, but the idea was good. Did I really just make a CH bacon post? Oh man........

Steady on now....that kind of talk is a danger to the survival of CH threads.

Kenny's Parents back in the day: " Every single time we try and take a picture of our lovely little stuffed skunk, that darn kid picks it up"

It's not really recommended, but if you must.....

I never had you down as the type that would want to, but it's nice that you feel comfortable enough to just be yourself here.?

"Should I put my bikini on?"

Yep. This is why you never hear of any positions vacant for a guitarist/mixer. ?

I think most people who are not great singers (aka most people) probably dislike the sound of their own voice when they first hear it, myself included. It took a while, but in the end I decided to just get over it and do the best I can. The decision to record a few "unplugged" / minimal backing songs without a big mix to hide behind was a big help for me in getting over it.

I always loved that part personally although I did find the pressing of buttons and minimally sliding/twiddling things around on a mixing desk to not be as fascinating as some seemed to find it. If only I'd known back then that I should have paid more attention.....

No song is ever finished. Some people just fool themselves into thinking that it is.

I don't think I've ever been so disappointed with seeing the "new" version as I was with BFD3. I held off buying BFD2 at the time because v3 was imminent. I still bought BFD3 because the consensus was that it was good, but man that UI.... I know it shouldn't matter really as it's all about the sound at the end of the day, but it doesn't make me want to spend too long looking at it. On my system at least it also seems to grab a lot of RAM that it didn't let go of when swapping kits which would then result in crashes, which soon becomes old, so mostly for that reason I very rarely use it these days, which is a shame because it did sound ok.

At what point does clicking on it to start become a "view" though ? I have no idea.

What that video above mostly made me wonder is ..... How many people actually make it past the first 6 seconds of it ?

TLDR version.... Not installed.

Does anyone really care though? It's not as if it counts for anything.

A group of guys live and die for their Saturday morning golf game. One Saturday one of the guys gets a call from the Dr saying that his 5 months pregnant wife needs to have total bed rest for the remainder of the term to protect both her and the baby. Naturally, he tells his friends that he has to leave immediately and will no longer be able to play, so they will have to find someone to take his place in their four way match, or play as a three. A new female member happened to be walking past and overheard the conversation. " Sorry to butt in she said, "but I couldn't help hearing that you are going to be one down for while......I have nobody to play with and I'd be happy to make up the numbers." None of them really wants to say 'yes', and then have to play within themselves so as not to embarrass her for her shortcomings, but they're on the spot and one man says. " Okay, I guess we could try it for today and see how it goes.... " She turns out to be an accomplished right-hander and beats all of them easily with an eye-opening 8-under par round. She's fun and pleasant, and the guys are both impressed and a bit miffed. They congratulate her and ask her if she's up for a rematch next week. She says..." ok, but I might be twenty minutes late". They agree that is not a problem. The next week she shows up on time, but this time she plays left-handed. The three guys are incredulous as she still beats them easily despite playing with her off-hand. They're totally amazed. They can't figure her out. She's very pleasant and a gracious winner. They invite her back again, but each man harbours a burning desire to beat her. Once again she agrees with the caveat that she may be 20 mins late. The third week, she turns up on time, plays right-handed, and again easily beats all three of them. The men are even more disgruntled and feel they are being played somehow, but she's so charming and complimentary of their game that they can't really hold a grudge. This woman is a riddle no one can figure out. Later, in the Clubhouse one of the men asks her, " I just have to ask.....you can beat us either way, so how do you decide if you're going to play right-handed or left-handed?" The lady blushes, and grins. "Well, I'm here alone because my husband hates me getting up early to golf, so before I leave, just to wind him up I always pull the bed covers off him. If his you know what is pointing to the right, I play right-handed; if it points to the left, I play left-handed." The guys think this is hysterical. Astonished at this bizarre information, one of the guys says, "What if it's pointing straight up?" She says, "Then I'll be twenty minutes late."

Marketing people..... each and every one of you, please take a look in this special mirror next time you have an idea...

So, that's like literally typical of what is literally wrong with old English people. They should of spent more of there life having fun instead of just picking on people like me who literally don't know what literally means. I've literally said this like a million times to my American family members and they literally find this quite ironic.

Mrs Grem: Really Grem? How come that whenever I suggest that...... (this goes on for a while) Then something about when it's one of your buddies, you're all ears, but you never listen to me...... (and then that goes on for a while)

Dateline: 2023 Location: Spectrasonics HQ, Burbank. CA. Eric gathers the marketing folks in his den for an informal chat. He's laid on drinks and tasty snacks because he's a swell guy, but there is a troubling business matter to discuss.... EP: Well team, it has to be said that these Extensions aren't exactly bringing in the projected numbers. Thoughts? Marketing Guy: vaj jIHvaD lo'laHtaHbe' ghu'vam vIneH EP: Try again without the cake in your mouth... MG: I said...... vaj jIHvaD lo'laHtaHbe' ghu'vam vIneH - I thought it would be fun if we spoke Klingon. EP: As you know, I'm a swell guy and I love to give wacky creative types license to roam as they see fit, but I gotta tell you....nobody thinks that's fun. MG: Sorry Eric. Nice cakes by the way.... EP: So ? MG: Well, since launch times have been hard for many people and officially it's all the fault of a certain person who we're not allowed to mention here even though it isn't really... EP: So ? MG: Maybe....... it's just because they're too expensive....? EP: I told you that at the time, but you said....nah, people expect our stuff to be expensive, in fact they would actually be disappointed if it wasn't. MG: People are fickle. EP: So how are we going to solve it. These glossy reveal videos don't pay for themselves you know.. MG: Well, I guess we've painted ourselves into a corner over the years with our attitude towards discounts, so we can't just reduce the price. EP: And we can't package it and call it Omnisphere 3 because even I couldn't sell that and I'm a swell guy. MG: How about if we tell people that you really do listen to the feedback, because you are a swell guy, and now we're going to reduce the prices a bit as long as you buy more than one. Make it sound like you're doing them a favour, because you are a swell guy. EP: I like it.
