Hoping this is the right place. Having assembled and maintained some large and complex midi files from the 1990s, I would really, really, like to go whole-hog, 100% into Reaper. But my midi interfaces are old skool Mac serial port. Opcode, Studio 5lx. I have several of them. They're 15x15...

A really good patchbay for even a modest studio is a COLOSSAL amount of work to do it right. Whether or not it's worth it, only you can decide. I've had studios with and without. Right now, mine is without and I hardly miss it. BUT I don't take in customers, anymore. I have my setup that i...

Rather than repeat myself, I'll just say that if you're convinced you can't do something, you'll be right every time. If you're convinced no one else can do it, they'll never be able to prove it to you. You'll always have another strawman. Wait. I will repeat myself. "Who cares? Not me."...

If it makes you feel better to say that, then sure, go ahead. I know certainty can make people squirm these days. That's why i said "healthy hearing". Guys that have lots of unprotected rock and roll in their ears might not be the best data points to collect, y'know? Believe it or not, this...

Uh-oh... you disagreed with an A-lister. Now you're in for it. BUT, in answer to your question, everyone can tell the difference. Everyone. Healthy hearing is remarkable in its ability to detect, but interpreting what you detect takes a few years to learn. Who can tell the difference...

The Rhodes turns out basically a guitar level signal, what with coils and all. So about any guitar rig will work. The problem is that the suitcase amp requires a fairly hot signal to work, being a matched amp/pre and all. SO... If you wanna just play it, hook it up to a guitar-like rig and...

I think that's a great stance. And more civilly expressed than is often done. You do you; I do me. As long as you're not shoving it down anyone's throat or sniping from an ivory tower, it's all great. Everyone has their own reasons. Funny that.

There's as chance we're not connecting. I can be a little unclear at times. I agreed to nothing prior to retail sale. I agreed to nothing during the retail sale. So whatever happens after the sale is up for me to decide and beyond their reach, authority, and purview. What anything says after I...

There is no violation. Not legally; not morally (though, yes, you do yours, i do mine). The overarching principle is that I paid full retail. Actually, several times. It's mine. So if a panel comes up with a bunch of outlandish claims, then I, and I alone, decide what that panel means. I...

You're right. Now that I reconsider it definitely was lighthearted. After reading the next post, it felt like a gang-up - which is why I kinda got on my hind legs a bit. Not your fault. No worries. I'm cool. I can take a jab or two..... probably. :-)

Pretty sure we're not. And i don't take kindly at such an accusation. I will admit, however, that piracy can certainly be accomplished in such a way. In the same way your girlfriend has the equipment to be a prostitute. But potential is not the act nor the advocacy. And the potential is no...

If you knew my friend Larry, he'd give it to you on a thumb drive, like he did me. He didn't write it, but was skulking around on certain areas - places where a gulf of similar things are found - and got several similar programs on the same theme. This one was kinda fun because now when I do a...

Windows "phones home". It does this as a "verification step". During the install, there's an option to install offline, where you're granted a 30 day grace period. But sooner or later, Windows has to go online and talk with the mothership. When it talks with its servers (remember Billy...

Yes and no. If you gotta Windows disc, it'll install onto "scores of machines" just fine. It doesn't care about MOBO numbers. But such an install can't phone home without the black screen reaction. The control is not in your machine, the control is at MS servers that once they detect an...

Like you, I don't know the first thing about this program. But I've poked around in these programs enough to know that if they wanted you doing such a thing, it would be reasonably easy to do. But they don't. Unless you have the build-map on these sounds or samples (if they're samples) you...

I have such a tool - if I can find the thing. Got it from NewEgg. Simply put, it's a disc clone. USB to SATA cable. A tiny CD of software. Execute. Let it run. Works a treat. Used it several times. Doesn't not require same speed or size disc - other than enough room. Used it for backups...

Since you're building from the ground-up, did you consider hydronic heating? No, i'm not a commercial - just thought it'd be a great idea for a studio.

Everyone wants zero risk. That's a given. All people of all walks of life. Who can blame them? Software vendors are singularly different, it seems, than vendors that provide tangible goods. I have more problems with tangible goods providers (in my case, jet engines, landing gear, and other...

I've gone through this with companies before. It totally depends on the person you gotta deal with. Yes, it can be a hassle, but I'm the CUSTOMER so it's my money and if they have a problem with that, they'll only hurt themselves. Reputation still means something and a customer fearing the...
