On slight different note, is Deoxit the best thing to use to clean up crackling noise on the pickup selector switch?

Got the Lenovo PC and it's working nicely. Except for a few scratches on the case, didn't notice any other defects. 

The only issue is there's no room to add another drive (came with a 500GB HD) and I do have a new 1TB ssd I want to use. Will have to see how to move Win10 to the ssd. 

On a separate note, can I use general PC audio speakes to listen with CbB...just for my little one's to hear what they're playing? Or are there  any other (economical) options?

Those of you who got Riff Generation, how do you guys like it so far and do you use it regularly in your composition?

(the Outside In Edition)

SW, have you used Helix Native (your thoughts)?

I wasn't all that impressed with the Soldano demo, but the Marshall was on point. At this price, it's a no brainer.....purchased!  

Yo, we be waitin' on GrandMaster Bapu to sez da werd....

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar,

Almost didn't recognize you Glynn with the new 'look'.

I like this track and now listening the album 'The Man Who Never Was'.  

Notes, I like those Zep covers too....good stuff.

@craig: I don't think I can ever listen to Stairway to Heaven the same again

Enjoying this cover:

I just ate it...

@ Mesh -

Per Alan Parsons, RAM is everything!

Why settle for only 8 GB?  Memory has gotten very cheap lately.  For dual-channel use, you'd want two sticks of exactly the same RAM.  So, if you're system comes with two 4 GB sticks, then you'll actually be faster than if there's only one 8 GB stick in there.  That said, if you DO have only one stick in there, you just need to get a second matching stick to get the performance boost.

I can always add more RAM, but it just came with 8GB's. Like you said, RAM is cheap so will add as needed and don't really want to put too much into this PC as it's just a utility PC.

However, Alan is right!

Variety is the spice to life.

Ordered!!

That sounds brilliant, but are you being sarcastic?

Just keeping with the random theme.

It all went well until the alligator went underwater.

And it's one of the more intellectual threads around here.

Great minds think alike while fools seldom differ.

I'm thinking of getting this: https://www.newegg.com/lenovo-thinkcentre-m83-business-desktops-workstations/p/N82E16883998897?Item=N82E16883998897

Will be installing a 1TB Crucial SSD to it as well as CbB (just for my children to play around with). The main use is for general purpose, but wondered if the 8GB of RAM/rest is enough for very minimal DAW usage (playing with a few synths etc..)?

It's sitting in the cart ready to buy  .

I listened  to first and last versions and the  last one translated very nicely on my headphones. Very nice  performance and mix/production.....top shelf stuff!!

With all these Random thoughts how does an ED keep them sorted........?

He doesn't know the meaning of sorted. He just goes with the random flow...
