Yes - he is very frail but we have one other doctor too, we hope. Don't know much about it yet, but we've said yes to whatever it is!

The thing to remember Rob, is that not every instrument is a good one, for tone or just ease of playing. I have a friend who was told classic saxophones are very collectable. Last time I was at his house he was going through his collection. He had a Yanigisawa he had paid quite a bit for, and a...

The thing with trying to create an organ sound with a different class of instrument is that you have two separate things to consider. The sound. You can produce an organ sound (piano, or even a saxophone), but you have to play them differently, or they sound wrong. A violin can play or off the...

We have tom baker coming to our theatre next year, if he is still with us. Looking forward to that!

Just a thought? The old steinberg activation system with elicensers and real dongles was retired and people converted to their current online system. I wonder if this might have been the trouble? Did you shift to the new system? Maybe the losses occurred then? Steinberg were very helpful when i...

and worse ....... watching live TV broadcasts on any platform, from any source requires the licence, and the ONLY beneficiary is the BBC. Hence why many people get prosecuted for not having a licence. Oddly, if you had a TV and a video, and ONLY watched tapes from the local hire shop, you did...

I'm confused? What is the question? I think this is a Tascam 388? We are guessing what your issue is? Is the button physically stuck, or does it seem to work but the ligt stays on? Does it go out when you load a tape properly? Give us a clue?

We've suggested loads of techniques - gadgets, gizmos and even wandering around with a guitar. We have suggested turning off every item and energising them one by one. we have suggested so many things, but you seem to just introduce new material all the time and have not done, from what I read...

If you used to get the halion icon, then yes. You need to find the location all of those are actually sitting, then compare. For completeness. Do you have anything in the blacklist?

You still have not located the cause. Until you do, you are just reacting to what you get. Treating symptoms, not cause.

The Police? In the UK, that would be redirected to the trading standards people, who are toothless. First question would be “did you buy it from a dealer authorised by Shure?” If you did, you paid top dollar, of maybe top dollar, minus a very small amount. If you paid anything cheaper than...

Counterfeits are bad, own brands good. I suppose that is the binary version. It gets complicated when you start trying to justify the fakes. If they say Neumann, and made in Germany, its very hard. Same with Shure SM57/8 that say made in Mexico. Innocent people buy them thinking they are real...

I have loads of instances of the same thing running? Hallion can run within one live instance lots of different sounds, but i use lots of instances each with one. Just easier for how i use cubase? However, vst2, is far trickier. Its been gone 7 years, so while cubase 10 and vst2 will carry on...

The thing with MXL and Warm audio is that the basic products are Chinese anyway? Warm and MXL just take the products and tweak a bit, but their skill is more like making sure the spec the Chinese build to is what they want - with decent quality control, they probably take them out of boxes, plug...

The sample files. Cubase is looking for X sample set in Y directory on drive Z - or any version, and somehow one of two things has happened, the actual sample file - which can be any file type really - have been moved, or deleted, or more often, cubase is looking in the wrong place. in the vsti...
