Today my butt-burps have mostly been under control.

Straummy Towers, unfortunately, is still a bit whiffy.

 

Imagine the depth of poor mother Strummer's disappointment that the apple of her eye not only spends entire days sniffing his own farts, but then takes to the internet to describe them to strangers.?

Let me guess ... he was sitting there eyeing little girls with bad intent? Kinda feeling like a dead duck? His greasy fingers were smearing his shabby clothes?

I thought it was probably just because he wore them all the time, lived outside and didn't have a washing machine. 

I'm not sure what that says about the way your mind works.

Sounds dangerous.

In the end, Jeff really hasn't done anything that hadn't been done before. He just did it better than they did it before.

There's an awful lot more to Amazon than shopping.

Make sure that you don't talk about it in front of Alexa though.

Lite = Analog Lab 4

Intro = Analog Lab 5

No idea why they changed the naming

Thanks.

I regret not jumping on the AL4 upgrade when I had the chance. V5 seems to offer a lot less.

What's the difference between Lite & Intro?

Yepper. You can get a lot of weird stuff from walmart.

There's a German (I think) supermarket over here that sells a lot of stuff you wouldn't expect to find alongside tins of beans and such. In the center aisle you'll find stuff like unknown brand lawnmowers, patio furniture and tools...

I've always thought their motto should be......  " LIDL -  cheap food round the outside, cheap crap in the middle"

That was me!   

Instead of 'sympathetic words', I wanted cash you nincompoop!

Wow, what a coincidence. 

TBH I would have given you money if you'd just asked for it. It was all the filthy, depraved acts that you wanted to perform in return for money that put me off.

I'll let you know after you tell which one of your children are your favorite.

 

Ok, Ok..... all of them.

Parents of multiple children are such liars...lol.

Everybody knows they have a favourite, the kids know who's the favourite , but they won't admit it to anyone  because they think it will make them look bad. Presumably they don't think that everyone knowing that they just lied to their face makes them look bad?

I don't lose the whole plug-in in CW, but the Scaler window is "cut off" in my CW.  Same thing in Bitwig.  In my case it is related to using high DPI monitor and Windows scaling set above 100% (it works fine at 100%).  You might try the following, which fixed MY problem in both CW and Bitwig:

Thanks for the suggestion, but that wasn't the issue. (see above)

Cakewalk by Bandlab is the only DAW I use....and have used production version of Scaler 2 since the day it dropped.    I've seen a few bugs for sure, but as long as I save often, I have no issue using it really.  

The update *seems* to have fixed it in as much as it's not doing it in a new quick test project I just set up. I don't remember the names of older projects that I tried it in OTOH but I'll seek them out over the weekend and see if it now behaves itself in those.

The king of unfunny finally begins to hit back at the interloper.?

and quite a few of the homeless would rather stay outside and not seek shelter. 

That's what I was getting at.

I met a guy years ago sitting on a bench looking over the sea. He was quite old and at first glance very smartly dressed (shirt/tie/jacket etc...) but with a closer look the clothes were very well worn and slightly grubby. He told me that he had lived outside for many years. I felt bad and offered sympathetic words, but he told me that it was his choice and he wouldn't have it any other way. By the end of the conversation I was half tempted to join him.

Be thankful you had a house to live in under house arrest

On the plus side, nobody can make you stay in if you haven't got an in.

Sounds like something you should post on their forum to try to get customer support on instead of giving up on it.  

I figure that the get out will be that CW isn't on their list of recommended DAWs, so..........

 I did ask PIB the question before buying if the lack of CW on the list meant that it wouldn't work or just that it wasn't tested and received no response to that, so I'm not inclined to have too much faith in their support. I shouldn't have bought it really. The demo version  I had wasn't what you'd call stable, but I hoped that the many updates that were made to that initial release would have made it better, but no. It was clearly in a very poor state at release, so given how long they delayed the official release to "get it right" the warning signs were all there really. 

That'll teach me to be an optimist, lol ! ?

What issues are you having with it?

It loads fine and works fine for as long as I keep the UI open and I am using it. If I switch to something else and then try to go back to it the UI comes up blank. Every time. The only way to get it to display again is to close the project and re-open it, but the same thing will happen the next time the focus is shifted away from the UI. As I'm sure you can imagine, that gets old very quickly and pretty much kills the mood, so I just can't be bothered with it.

Downloading in the hope that the update might actually make it usable.......

If this gets nuked, I apologize in advance.

Apology rejected. Do not apologize. Should it happen, wear your reprimand like a badge of honour....... It's like taking a walk through that sketchy part of town.

Ever had one of those days where you're a bit down that your life hasn't quite worked out the way you would have liked. You start to spiral downwards and as your mood darkens, it gets worse.......you begin to feel like a completely useless, ugly, unlovable waste of oxygen that could have otherwise been used to keep someone worthwhile alive. In your pocket you probably carry a non organ donor card. This is not because of any choice you have made. Surgeons the world over got together and agreed that no part of you should ever be allowed to contaminate the body of any other mortal and thus issued this particular card to you and you alone. If you crossed them, gangland bosses wouldn't even let their pigs eat you. In fact they would just leave you be and let you continue to live your life because they can imagine no worse punishment than that. So eventually you find yourself in that part of town seeking to be amongst your people.....

An hour later you find that you feel much better. You may have your faults, but hey, at least you're not that guy, right?

Interesting trivia: Jeff Bezos is dyslexic, and was actually trying to spell 'amazing'.

This may or may not be true.

Fact check:

A team of people who have no idea about anything have looked into this claim and supplied an answer that doesn't really answer the question raised:

This information is false. There is no such thing as a Jeff Bezos. The name was AI generated to look like a regular name that couldn't be an anagram for anything else.

I understand the small business owners dislike for big business but from a consumer standpoint ... well sorry.

The problem will come when all the other retailers have been driven out of business and there is only one choice. Watch what happens to prices then.
