Oh that one is even better!

Ha! Maybe? No idea. I ain't that smaht.

Like a gobo? As mentioned I have quite a few 2'x4' panels I built for the old place but I don't think I want them willy-nilly leaning up against stuff. These things:

Yeah thin plywood over insulated concrete walls.

Well the amps have to go somewhere... Yes that is a talk box so I actually do need some form of PA to hear it. I have options. My old space didn't have any of the band gear in it. This space has all of it.

What do you think? I am doing up an informal recording space in my new abode. I have a mess of 2 x 4 panels of rigid insulation from my old space but as I got to looking at the new space I realize that the wall behind my seating position is where I have all my amps arrayed. I count 15 10" or...

More evidence of TI card success. Hmmm...

Yeah thanks Rich. Kinda what I was thinking.

I don't even know where my original license file is so if I use my most recent install file it would likely be the eval version to start anyway. lol - this is what happens when you let life get in the way for 15 years!

Whatever my config settings were this a completely fresh install of everything. Half the plugins I have/had are of unknown legitimacy and all are at least 10 years old if not substantially older. I'll probably ditch most of them anyway. Start fresh, pay as I go.

I am coming in from wandering the desert for 15 years or so, Working on setting up my old machine. (Details over in the computer forum.) I have an earlier version of Reaper that I updated a few times but all in the version 2 lifespan. I do not expect to update free. The program is well worth the...

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking. The box I was going to try to bring everything into Win10 world is basically doing nothing. It's newer, faster, packing larger SSDs - the whole nine. Good candidate.

Yeah the whole activation string was the part that failed. I got the phone link and instructions but unlike activating Win7 the string never came up. Nothing to input - no activation code! Oh well. I may try again later but if this works I'll just stick with it. I do have the added benefit of...

So the project has taken an interesting turn. I found a couple XP install discs but no product keys - stickers on the boxes I chucked long ago. No matter - used a key finder to get the key off my existing version. So a cold fresh install failed - got an IRQL error and passed on chasing it. Next...

I will be looking at those things when and if I build a completely new system. (Honestly all this talk is taking me back to my geeky days and making me want to just 'cause...lol. But I digress.) Here's what I am thinking for the "New XP" project: The existing box has an Intel mobo with a quad...

Very cool. I don't remember the particulars of version and bits - I will update when I start in. Something happened along the way - I don't know what - but everything worked and I could reliably record 12 tracks simultaneously and play back with FX and misc processing when the band was together...

Thanks for that. The plan is that if the first part works using the stuff I already have then I will clone everything over to SSD and probably set up a RAID mirror for safety. The mobo can do several RAID variations. Speaking of cloning - what do you guys use? I've used Easeus to do in the past.

That's the goal!

I hear what you guys say about SSDs but I already have 5 or more SATA drives that are perfectly useable and proven with the mobo and chipset I have now. (I'm also saving money in case the other project doesn't work and I am buying newer I/O hardware. I'll buy new everything if it comes to that.)

I bought a house out in the New Hampshire sticks where power outages are not rare. Seems to always be a tree ready to take down lines in heavy snow or wind. We were down four days around Christmas last year. The previous owner had installed a 10 kw propane-fired automatic generator. Lovely...
