Mostly they go.....bom, bom, bom, bom in Am.

No, I just thought it was impolite to suggest that he might need the larger size.

Which one is the EZ bass?

I'd need to see the options for all the other letters of the alphabet before I could say.

Hands up who thinks Fleer must be really bored today.......

Meanwhile over at Gillette HQ an important decision has been agreed....... "Make it a different colour and stick another blade on it."

Hey Celine.......why the long face?

On the smellyphone?

Polishing your Sausage is not a suitable topic for a forum frequented by 5yr olds. Please report yourself to the forum police asap. I can't do it 'cos I'm not a snitch.

Your nectar for nothing and your squares for free........

I take it that free burgers didn't have quite the effect they hoped for then?

I thought this was gonna be about the latest age group to "offered" the vax.

I downloaded the demo from PIB a couple of years back and couldn't even get CW to recognise it before the demo period expired. CW just wouldn't pick it up on the VST scan no matter what I did. That's not totally unheard of with CW, but usually I can get around it by moving the .dll to a different location and adding that to the scan path. In the end I gave up as I only have so much patience when it comes to a demo that doesn't work. All the other AIR synths I have work fine, so no idea why CW didn't like this one. I can't try it again now as I guess it would go straight to demo expired mode given that technically I have had the demo installed before.

Where's my empty squares Izotope? I want some if everyone else is getting them.

Meanwhile their price to upgrade from v1 is $49.99. LMAO. Amateur hour at PIB again.

Given that they've only just re-introduced an offline authorisation method, I doubt that they are about to remove that facility again. They must have been getting enough customer feedback requesting it to make them bring it back. Hopefully it will something along the lines of a revamped CCC which gave the best of both worlds. That said, my DAW pc is offline, but it really isn't that big a deal to connect up for about 3 seconds every 6 months. I haven't even installed the last few updates yet as there is nothing in them that I feel I must have. Of more concern to me is the day that it becomes win10 only. I won't be changing hardware just to accommodate a software update, so until a new pc becomes necessary that will be that, which again is no big deal really. One particular bug aside that they seem strangely reluctant to fix (I've given up asking) it does everything I need it to already.

He said yesterday that CW is going to have it's own standalone installer and BA will be deprecated "soon".

I was going to write that this is actually pretty good, but something weird seems to happen when freezing or bouncing to track in that the audio is very different to how it sounds with the synth open and driven by the midi track. The part I just did is fine that way, but freeze/bounce it and it is totally different plus sometimes it continues playing where there are no notes. I noticed just when playing that it hangs sometimes. So, in the last two hours I've gone from...hmmm worth a look > ooh it's really quite good, especially for free > I must be missing something here > sod it I'll watch TV for a bit and try again tomorrow, maybe what is eluding me now will become obvious then.

60% off Brian May ? Did someone cut his hair?

Well whatta d'ya know -I have some sounds that I didn't even know I had - forgot all about AAS player. Anyhoo, FWIW the closest I can find to "Bistro" in Cinémathèque is "Bistre" and I'm not really hearing any difference between that patch in the player or in VA3 itself. Yes there are some highish frequencies but everything sounds like it was meant to be there. Holding down a chord a string sort of sound comes in after a while and then goes again and does not return until further keys are pressed, which I just put down to it being an evolving type pad. Is that what you mean? I don't have Starlight and can't find anything close to that patch name in the swatches section of AAS player, so can't help you there.

Offer lasts until 17/6 - the offer is free for 1 month. Or put another way it's a time limited demo.

Weird that they seem to be putting so much effort into this now when Noel has already said that they are about to bin it.

So gauche.

It was about way more than fees. The SB accounts were the best deal in town by a long way. Borrowing rate fixed at 1% below Bank of England base rate (which IIRC was about 3% at the time ) the ability to overpay on any borrowing whenever you wanted to thus reducing min payments and/or length of the borrowing period, get the overpayment back later if it turned out that you needed it for something, plus pre-agreed further borrowing that was a phone call away and paid into your account within days, plus if you moved house the whole thing could just be transferred to the new house with you, so no need to re-finance with all the costs associated with that. The first changes they made were borrowing now 1% over THEIR base rate of 4.99% (making it 6% instead of 2%) no reclaiming of overpayments, agreed further borrowing to be cut by 50% and then still subject to their approval for which you would be charged, no longer transferrable without approval.....the list went on.... In short it turned the best deal in town into one of the worst. Revisiting the subject now reminded me of the best part of all..........after I informed their HQ to smile nicely for the Times journalist that would paying them a visit, they offered me a "special" deal which would re-instate everything that was in my previous agreement as long as I signed a new agreement, which they enclosed with the letter. The new agreement contained a clause to the effect that they could change this agreement at any time without any notice. You can imagine where they were told to insert that. ? As I said, it was more about the principle to me, I didn't actually need the deal any more, it was just nice to have, so I just walked away from it, but many others were not in that position so you can imagine the impact on their finances. At best they were faced with paying thousands to take their business elsewhere. So, back OT....... Notes, be aware - that page may contain far more text than you realise.
