  1. And take a minimalist approach to the control bar and float it - that alone takes up more space than any of the yellow (which are often present for menus, tools, scrollbars or spacing so there is distinction between different areas). Not that I wouldn't like somethings smaller (like track widgets), but I don't feel the yellow areas are eating too much space.
  2. Wot, no ? Seroiusly, another nice one - your space tuneage is reminding me a lot of Interstellar Chaos (http://harvey.strange-trips.com/reviews.htm)
  3. https://www.dropbox.com/s/cxpdy60wmj86fhp/Chandresakar's Limit.mp3?dl=0 All one take and no edits or real mixing done, so there are some bad notes in there (I'll redo sometime soon) - so any comments gratefully received before I do a proper mix. Drums - BFD 3 Synths - Vital, Surge, Korg MS-20, Korg M1, u-he Triple Cheese, M-Tron Pro Guitar amp - Overloud TH-U (+ Valhalla Shimmer reverb for the lead part) For background https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Chandrasekhar/ And YT video now available:
  4. Exactly - it's more that it doesn't remember (unlike others). I'm sure they do have control over location, but not sure about the missing blobs (I assume it's an odd bug - I've personally never encountered it).
  5. I've done some weird and wonderful stuff with Macrium (free) and it's pretty good. I've had a couple of duff images though, which is most likely the external media's fault (long story about USB2 vs USB3 not being as compatible as they should be, it seems), so I take multiple copies now.
  6. This is really excellent: the balance between the breathy pads and the plucked sounds is perfect. It has a real ancient *and* modern (futuristic almost) feel to it,
  7. And don't mentioj the trend (OK, it goes back a couple of decades now) to film everything so dark, you can't see what's going on. So "we" pay to see nothing and hear nothing, right? ?
  8. Multiple PRVs, multiple plug-ins that "work" together, PRV and Event View for "debugging"...
  9. It's not alone in doing this - I had a situation at work where (different AV) impacted a .NET image generation and http-ing job by a factor of about 100!
  10. The issue is that other tabs in the multidock lose "focus" (for want of a better word) so you need to click between them. If you have floating windows, you can see more than one thing at once (monitor size permitting) - having to continually undock Region FX windows to achieve this is...tedious and inconsistent (and stupid!).
  11. Interestingly, it breaks on Linux ? https://www.theregister.com/2021/12/01/linux_5_16_alder_lake/
  12. This may not help, but you never know... I used to get massive stage fright before performing - I'd feel unable to eat the day of the gig and would pace nervously beforehand guzzling copious quantities of cola and being completely unable to focus. I ended up on a work training course (which was awful in general, but that's by the by) which had a session on saying difficult things (in a work environment, of course). And the trainer said (and this is apparently from a standard/well-known text) that we should just ask ourselves beforehand "what's the worst that can happen?", and you'll almost always find out that it's probably not as bad as you think - no-one's going to shoot you, say ? The next gig I had after that, I tried this repeatedly through the day of the gig and convinced myself that, yep, nothing truly bad would happen if I made a mess of it. I got to the gig, was way more focused and just did it. And you know what? I actually played much better as I was more relaxed. I had to do this a few more times at subsequent gigs, but eventually, I stopped needing to do even that and just treated the gig as something I did on a "normal" day. I still make mistakes but I don't worry about it - I'm confident enough that it's not the end of the world, and I'm confident enough in knowing the music that I can dig myself out of a hole I've made if it does go wrong ? Good luck - you have a few weeks to practise your chops and your state of mind!
  13. Overtone PTH-2A - Pultec emulator - not that it's not good, I just forgot I already had at least one ? Zero-G Cinematic Toolbox MAX - it's just not very good (and it took an eternity to download). Samplitude X3 Suite - when SONAR went, I jumped to this as an alternative. No matter how many times I try it, I find it incomprehensible. Although I did get SOund Forge 11 and Spectralayers "for free" with it, which have been useful.
  14. I think the latter (we all do it) ?
  15. There's some useful stuff in it - I got it at that price about 2 years ago and use it a lot (there's a fair few meh-plugins, too, in my opinion but also some very good ones). Echoes is great and the Liquid Bundle delay/modulation effects are surprisingly good.
  16. Not my style at all, but I can see how well done it is. Very impressive.
  17. No. I've emailed them this morning and heard nothing back yet.
  18. Thanks but...I'm impatient, OK ?
