Great, I'm glad that's all sorted then.

Very interesting, but I don’t quite understand?

"...if just one track, somewhere, anywhere, makes someone laugh, cry, dance, sing or be moved, then you have channeled the spirit. Even if that someone is onesself."

I know nothing but it sounds like they could have more life with the artist onboard than without them.

These days ppl probably cherish MP3 artifacts like you cherish vinyl hiss and tape flutter.

...absolutely. I just picked up a pBone (plastic trombone). But only because I'm rubbish at guitar. Of course it might turn out that I'm rubbish at trombone as well... :beamup: I was imagining an inexpensive secondhand guitar MIDI or synth box that would work off the regular output to start with ...

Yesterday I finally got to pair this up with a Roland GM70 I picked up from Lithuania on eBay, and a made-to-order 24pin cable. I was surprised that it worked at all. It did work though...to an extent. I was able to trigger MIDI from the top five strings. I knew the latency would be pretty bad, but ...

ACE Studio has come up before. I see they have a violin model now. I may investigate.

Great! So what's the deal? We need to know.

LANDR is a new one on me. Heathen that I am. How's it pronounced? It's pronounced: "Lander". (Disclaimer: I have no idea, but I'm establishing that as the de facto standard regardless of the founders' intentions.) *edit* Too late. Ninja'd by Drew. I'm not the first and I won't be the last.

Please let me know if it's stable / reliable at low latencies (e.g. 32 samples at 96KHz) when running in larger projects (say 50-80 tracks) I'd have thought there were so many variables there it was an impossible question. Overall though, I'd agree with Hugh. There's nothing intrinsically wrong ...

Good decision. Wish it well and make space for some functioning music tech. These things belong to people who are happier reading schematics than scores. :thumbup: (I had a Farfisa Transicord electric accordion at one time; IIRC it had essentially the same sound engine as one of their keyboards. It ...

Sounds like a hassle. Buy another. If you're not motivated to replace it, you don't need it.

New physical modelling soft synth from Expressive E, might be worth a look...

My partner recently switched to that and says she doesn't miss anything. I'm a bit of an IT-dinosaur-dyed-in-the-wool MS addict having been using it in the workplace for more decades than I remember but...I do think they're taking the thing. It's too expensive for small orgs. (It's a National Park ...

Not paying hundreds of pounds a year for an MS account?

Soz. Incommunicado.

...absolutely, or go back further...how many bells and whistles does a text editor need? They've profited from the "move to the cloud" thing. The org I work for would probably still be quite happy with their permanent licences for Office 2013 or whatever it was, but it falls to pieces when you start ...

...as soon as I started to read, I thought: "Karaoke version", so I see where you're coming from. I'd be surprised if there was anything as good for free. It was pre-AI, so you'd have thought it could be bettered now, but then the AI companies haven't admitted to plundering everyone's copyrighted ...

MS will create a dependency, once done, they whack a charge on it That's completely true, more than once the company I work for has fallen for the "free public preview...oh, now it's a subscription" trick. I'm wondering how to exploit this strategy myself. Unfortunately my fields of interest are ...

Welcome to the 21st century workplace.

Unlike the rest of you I have to do real work for a living. I live and breathe Teams.

I keep an eye on it obvs, but that’s not necessary. It’s pretty dependable.

(Merlyn figured out some very useful stuff for me that had eluded my attempts with ChatGPT, so, brainpower wins. But, personally, I need the AI boost quite often.)

If it gives you the chance to have a go at something yourself and act as an aid to learning as opposed to it just giving you the answer with no explanations then that is pretty cool. That would be true in my case. The kind of software I'm constructing with it takes a lot of effort and coaxing. I ...

Oh, sh1t...for me, that's pretty much everything then.
