An out of tune noisy bugger it would seem. It's lucky for you that JB has moved on to more profitable ventures because he would almost certainly have increased his fees considerably for that.

One of the advantages of still having a win 7 DAW is that I don't have to concern myself with this. ?

It can't possibly be worth it.

I think everyone thinks/knows it's BS, but there's knowing it and there's being able to do something about it. I have no reason to protect the names, so if you really want to know it was Barclays Bank. They bought out Standard Bank and took over all existing accounts with the explicit promise that any existing contracts would be honoured, which btw was a condition of the takeover decreed by the High Court in granting that the takeover so that it would not be against anti-monopoly legislation. Soon after the takeover happened they wrote informing me of changes they were making to former Standard Bank accounts, which was when I informed the national press. The newspaper whose solicitor was also quoted as saying it was illegal, was The Times (UK). I wasn't the only one affected, many others came forward as a result of the newspaper article and eventually it was referred to the UK Financial Ombudsmen who found in favour of Barclays. It was more a point of principle in my case, so I wasn't going to get into spending lawyer money to pursue them, but many others would have suffered considerable financial implications as a result of the changes that were allowed to be made due to a non-existent clause. Anyhoo, that's all a bit serious for the CH, so somebody better put up something suitable for all the five year olds that apparently frequent the place on a regular basis now, or the axe will fall.

Something like that. As you can probably guess, that didn't count.

A few years ago I was in dispute with a major bank over whether they could unilaterally change a contract I had with them. I referred the case to a major national newspaper who actually agreed with me and printed several articles about it. Basically they had referred me to a certain paragraph/subsection of the signed agreement that simply did not exist. The case was taken up by the financial authorities who ruled that the bank's response after having it pointed out that there was no such paragraph in the contract ........."It was in the agreement, but it just wasn't printed as there wasn't enough room on the page..." was within the law !!

In other related news, scientists have revealed that the libido of many women is directly and significantly reduced by certain cakes. Unfortunately for married guys, wedding cake is the one that tops the list.

Why do I get the feeling that there is absolutely no need to watch that video beyond 00:01 ? This could be the start of a new trend. The 1 second song/video. No need to make the rest because you already know exactly how it goes. The question is would Greta approve of the planet-hugging energy saving of disposing of the other 3:29 or scornfully reproach them for contributing to the ruination of her childhood just by making this 1 second. The correct answer obviously being.....who cares?

Poor Bapu doesn't seem to know how question marks work. ?

^^^ This. Beyond my wildest dreams of what I thought I would ever have at my disposal when I started out and it's not the lack of "pro" status that prevents me from being a super-rich, global megastar, recording artist. That's entirely the fault of the barely talented idiot sitting in front of it.?

Yeah, for those who were all in, it's more a case of getting what you already paid for from someone else, but long may it continue.

Oh yes......I can relate... I was once asked to make a 4hr round trip to attend a short meeting with a single item on the agenda to be discussed...... To establish a suitable time/date on which all the attendees would be able to attend a longer meeting. I wish that was a joke, but it isn't.

Fixed :)

Other search engines are available.

Wow. That's an IK level of two fingers up to the more loyal customers. They get a way worse deal than someone who has bought nothing for years. AAS have gone right down in my estimation for that. Disclaimer: CV-1 does nothing for me personally, but still.........

Does that still apply if you're Brian Hugh Warner?

I thought it was gonna be about someone that just scored a free burger from Shake Shack.? I don't get it. What does that say about me?

I haven't found Chromaphone 3 to be any more problematic than the other v3's, but I don't really use it much.
