Bummer of a first pedal.

I see the blue-green. Tried a couple of screens. It's consistent for me.

when i practice, i move tempos up and down by arbitrary increments with each try. This helps me when i play with others. At one point i practiced a bunch of bluegrass tunes at fixed tempos for months before trying them with others. I was unable to vary tempo at all.

You mean Sean's dad? I didn't know he was a musician. What did he play?

Paul McCartney's first band.

Th3 has a Looper. That's what i use.

Enabled

I got the one hit drum solo nailed.

First time I've been asked for that. Kinda a hassle. But I'll do anything once.

Works for me. I can use patch up and down and bank up and down. I save my sounds into a custom Bank so i don't have to go through lots of patches to get to the right one. I think it is possible to assign certain sounds to certain pedals, but i don't do that.

My new keyboard is Azio brand. Never heard of it before but it bodes well. Spent 20 usd for one with back light. When i first plugged it in, i struggled to remember where i knew that word azio from.

I really am grateful to so many for all they create. Cakewalk especially. I'm not against corporations. I only feel they are not individuals and shouldn't be treated like individuals legally.

Companies are not people. They are not free to act as they choose. They are legally responsible to their investors/stock-holders. Companies must act for profits. It's a good thing from the perspective of the investor. They should use the money we invest in them to make more money. Otherwise, why would we invest? Who protects the grandma and grandpa who put their life savings in the hands of young companies? Right now, the courts. From my perspective, the weird thing is that the courts protect companies as if they are US Citizens. They are not. They should not be protected by the constitution as citizens. They are just objects within the country... People participate in corporations usually, but it would be possible to imagine a bot corporation that doesn't have a human in it. Only human investors that give the bot fuel to create more money. So, I think we should undo the court rulings that protect companies as if they were citizens themselves. It's possible for companies to be owned by foreigners all together. Non-citizens. All you need to do to get protections as a US Citizen is to buy a US Company? How weird. We are the government. We choose what power to grant to companies. We can make constitutional amendments to force the court to treat corporations like the untrustworthy entities they are. We have centuries of corporate history to predict future behavior with. Corporations are like bots. They are not full of good-will. They are not interested in making the world better. They are structures for money making. And we want them to be that. We just want to legislate them like they are nothing more than money-making bots.

idk. Interesting to read predictions. I think the impact of Open Source should be considered. I don't think there are that many people who can be pressed into staying with Windows. Lots of younger folks don't understand OS and related installed apps. They live on the web and any web conduit does the job. If Microsoft begins leaning on everyone for subscription dues, I think they will be much more poorly received than ol' Cakewalk. We love Cakewalk and signed up for the dues out of loyalty. If I wasn't so thankful to the devs who give us this tool, I would have jumped and not returned. Many of us gifted when asked. I don't use many apps these days that don't work fine on Linux, and I have Cakewalk (which I miss when I'm booted to Linux). My daughter would barely know she wasn't using Windows. Surely, she would not send them money. So, it would probably work on the older generation. Are there enough retirees, flush with cash, who don't want to learn something new to bring Windows to a forever-end for a final pay-check?

It was weird. All number keys except for 5 and 6 stopped working. Those were the only keys that didn't work. I'd love to know what went wrong.

Really? I was thinking of finding an old cast off for free. High dollar keyboard hadn't even crossed my mind. What makes it worth it?

It's wired. My wife's keyboard works. Never had this happen before. Guess it's time for a trip to the store.

This is a strange problem. Today, I can't use 5 and 6 are the only numbers working on my computer keyboard, including all of the special characters related to the numbers that I can't use. I have no idea what's going on. Everything was working yesterday. I could do a system restore, but I just can't figure out what's up. Had the hardest time logging in because I use those characters in my password. I ended up using the on-screen keyboard. Any ideas? Thanks ... no exclamation marks b/c it doesn't work. I can't do smiley's either.

My daughter watched the star wars movies too quickly i think. She was vaguely interested but not how i expected.

People trust open source because anyone can read the code. Might be safe. Might not be. But it is at least public.

Right click and save these things into a folder... http://gswitz.blob.core.windows.net/tunes/20190509gswitz_4fcb1010.fcb http://gswitz.blob.core.windows.net/tunes/20190509gswitz_4fcb1010.syx The app is available here... https://mountainutilities.eu/fcb1010 ... For some reason, some people sell a a special chip. I could be wrong, but it may be it's only settings loaded. haha Any version of the FCB 1010 will do I think. I'm not sure it matters. I could be wrong here. I got mine used on Craig's list. Since I turned on a friend. He borrowed mine for a 6 months and the got his own when I stole mine back. To load these settings, 1. plug in the midi input only 2. turn off the fcb 1010, step on the down pedal and hold it down when you turn it on. 3. switch it to the input setting. 4. click send from the app you've opened my settings into 5. step on the down pedal for a few seconds and it will count down from 10 or so. 6. Turn it off and back on. >> have fun! Next... 1. open th3 2. map the stomps and expression pedals to anything you like.

Pan rules on cakewalk are different for mono and stereo tracks. But, in my example, i took themono track to stereo when i added breverb. Then, using channel tools i sum to mono and see a 3 db gain as expected. When using interleave to sum to mono, you can see it is still after the addition of breverb, but it does not add 3db. Only cakewalk knows for sure, but my guess is they are reducing by 3db after summing to hide this complexity on a mono track. Could be another reason... Idk. Linux DAWs like mixbus show you when your mono shifts to stereo with little lines between the vsts. In cakewalk, it isn't obvious. Mostly, i don't care and feel in control.

So glad I'm not the only one with feedback issues.

I never got the chip thing. Don't spend extra. The app is a free download. I'll post more later.
