  1. Drag story hour please...get your facts right :-)
  2. Or make sure your VST paths don't include folders that don't contain VSTs, like \Windows.
  3. Me too. I loved SF when it came out and used it extensively 15 years ago to do a load of voice editing work for audio books. I hardly fire it up now (except for CD ripping, pretty much) as I'm able to do pretty much everything I need with the tools directly available in CbB. They missed a trick not making it ARA compatible IMHO.
  4. I've got two stories like this... - Way back around the days of Cakewalk Pro Audio 6 or 7 (!), I was swearing at it for ages and ranting on the newsgroups about it. Turns out I had a dodgy SCSI cable (remember them?) which was connected to the audio data drive, so no surprise the one application that hit that drive hard had problems. Egg on face and many apologies (to the Bakers) ensued. - The house I moved into 10 years ago always had issues with the phones, especially when trying to use the line for ADSL. My dad - ex-telephone engineer - took a look and discovered that the wiring had been done in a ring, not a star, topology so it was amazing it ever worked. He also looked at the aerial connection, and a junction box (splitter) had been put into the circuit. Backwards. So the impedance was all over the place. And as for the (internal brick) wall that a metal/wire checker detects as filled with *something* almost everywhere so that we can't hammer a nail in safely... Turns out the previous owner's brother-in-law was a bit of a dab hand at rewiring. Allegedly. We did wonder why the owners had said they'd had to get a separate 'phone line installed for their home office as the home internet wasn't reliable enough. Maybe they shouldn't have gone to the brother-in-law to sort it out in the first place!
  5. You can get USB pedals too (cheap off Amazon so get a spare!) that are wired so less to go wrong. I got one for home studio use (3 pedals) - it works a charm, I just found I actually found it easier to continue using the PC keyboard* ! * So if anyone wants to buy it off me... ?
  6. Stealer's Wheel - Stuck In The Middle With You *2 points
  7. Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me?
  8. And on that note... The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men
  9. Windows is smart (ha!) and doesn't apply its optimisation to SSDs/NVMEs (in terms of defragmenting).
  10. I've just installed this* but don't see any presets. Not the end of the world for a "simple" delay, but I wonder if I'm missing something. Anyone else? UPDATE: Installation requires elevated permissions, and the presets got stored in the elevated user's folder, not my own folder. * I am not Bapu.
  11. Dr Phibes and the House of Wax Equations - Eye Am The Sky
  12. Apologies. Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out
  13. Hawkwind - It Is The Business Of The Future To Be Dangerous
  14. I decided to make it my first listening of the evening. "Out There Somewhere" isn't as good IMHO.
  15. The album "Close your eyes, forget the world" is amazing.
