is that 754 gadfreakinzillion?
hehe I appreciate the reply, at this point i wasnt expecting it thinking, oh yeah that was probably a dumbass newbie question...well so far i have gotten some results actually, Im not entirely sure how I got it to make sounds, but eventually enough clicking it did happen. What I do know is I plugged it all in, went into n-track, clicked the the mic button on the toolbar, selected the midi input device in the preferences; Track>Midi>new vst instrument, (hmm it just dawned i could run the midi back into my amp so i can hear it teehee the light bulbs are going on in my head)...and some other stuff...unfortunately, ever since my n track has become fubarred

so I cant actually remmeber what i did next, but it most assuredly wasnt a simple process.
I had to select a different channel I believe somwhere in it too, and something with the piano roll...sorry its been a couple days...I remember before the great cataclysmic crash, the cpu meter was at something like ... ohhh ... 7543290584208401587265907426897205483.00%...totally in the red hehe...ever since then its always like that on the cpu load and crashes, Im not sure what ive done, but it really doesnt like me, i shall keep you posted though, once im able to actually break it down and give a concise step by step form as to how i got it working, kinda on this mission to make old crappy stuff work.
I actually had a fruity loops at one point, but maybe because i didnt read up on how to integrate it with ntrack, i couldnt get it too work. I might still have it and itd be fun too use, my problem was everytime id import one of those fruity files into ntrack, it would add a space at the beginning of the file, synching was a pain playing live to it i remember so i gave it up hehe.
ps I also bought a set of drums cause i was annoyed, so ive been busy on those as well, I think they sound far better than the dr 660

(and possibly those vsts,)
