but even playing music by another composer fulfilled me, because it was what I wanted at that point in time, Thank god there are those that can play certain types of challenging music so that people who have no desire or talent in that direction can hear them played live by real people, not just ...

I couldn't hear it

Just another way of getting free publicity - use an alarmist, controversial headline and sit back and watch the clicks come tumbling down from the heavens. Who cares whether the music is AI or organic, it's still formulaic, a robot looking for it's soul

Just had quite a long online chat with a BT tech. Nice chap and he said he will reset my router, take about 4 minutes. Did not do Jack to speed things up but it did wipe all the numbers stored in my VOiP phones! "Oh! Should not have done that?" No indeed and when I had a DECT annyloggy rig THAT ...

Taskbar: Thanks but no good to me (I have reverted to W10, W11 lappy is for son) I have just bought and installed Reaper and a lot of setting are buried in the taskbar* and there seems no way to move the page up. With ten I can just chuck the TB to to left side, there now, and do the bizz then put ...

I'd say that the music that has captivated me most during my lifetime has been music that some (most?) might describe as 'self-indulgent'. Making music to please others leads to endless variations of the Hokey-Kokey. Go your own way. I concur, that is what, after all, music is all about, note to ...

I'd think in the absence of any formal agreement, then it's a case of DCUWCU, or, for a small fee, we could get together and listen to the music and put comments on the artist's social media and write "Great music - that backing (your stuff) is fantastic etc

This morning I was listening to Desert Island Disks on the Radio and the guest was David Gilmour. At the end of the programme, the guest is asked what luxury they would like to have, if marooned on the deserted island and Gilmour said "It would have to be a guitar, without a guitar life is ...

Well maybe, but don't look back in anger

Wouldn't surprise me if advertisers have their logos on the soldiers' uniforms as they do on football shirts and formula12 drivers' suits

I have arthritis that is getting worse and need to move to a control surface to avoid some of the mouse usage. I've been on Reaper for years and love it, but I am absolutely willing to move on. I'm pretty lousy with understanding all of the software (CSI, etc...) solutions that I read about. What ...

Sounds like it'd be too much of a Faff-isa to get any use out of it, do you want to swap it for a bowl of cornflakes?

Well yes, good luck to you, might as well take a chance on these things whilst you still have the chance. And sometimes on such occasions we end up pleasantly surprised

That is a tautology isn't it? Everything depends on an individual situation - we live in a world that is contextually bound, hence the great variety of life, what happens in one circumstance might be irrelevant in another, without that happenstance life would be unbearably predictable and our coping ...

Hate Apple to the core? want to defenestrate Windows? fear ye not. Commodore is coming back!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke-Ao-CpI7E Apple machine are all but impossible to upgrade, well here's a Mac Studio SSD swap done on a benchtop - changing a hard wired chip, I would not have thought ...

Well they do give the impression they are all things to all people to the extent they are forcing things on us that we don't want

I spoke too soon :-( I turned on my other computer, to get some 'work' done and find the High Contrast setting has gone again. Now OK, it's no big deal to get it back again, I have had to do it so many times, but why oh why can't Windows remain as the user needs/wants it? When I use the telly, I ...

"I don't get it! What's with all this "incessant reconfiguring and upgrading" nonsense?" I tend to agree. I guess the PC has been a victim of its own success, in so much the relatively cheaper cost has been down to the fact that the PC architecture has been an open system, which allows for a sort ...

Minimum to start recording? a phone, and a cheap interface, of which there are many. You can't get much simpler than that, but it does the trick. I am often quite pleasantly surprised at the sound quality I get out my cell phone Thanks for that..are you saying I can do looping and mixing all on the ...

I for one wouldn't bother with LANDR, being one of those people with poor eyesight and needing Windows High Contrast, LANDr is one of those irritating websites where tickbox selections cannot be seen because on ticking/unticking a box it doesn't display which choice has been made. Note to website ...

I always approach re-installing with some trepidation after a bad experience on two occasions, where after a re-install, as a result of a broken computer, I'd used up all of of my 3 'lives' with the software. As it happens, Arturia does allow you to get a life back by de-licensing a computer, which ...

Those that write music for call centres might be advised to re-skill, soon, the Chatbots will be multi-tasking and writing and singing the tunes as well as saying "Have you tried a re-boot?" Do people actually "write" that stuff? And will it have a cult following in years to come? like 60’s/70’s adv ...

I can't say I am impressed by Arturia support. Their reply to me said.... Open Cubase Plugin manager, Scan the plugins Add the folder to the list of folders to be scanned (All of which I had already done, and I had informed them of this in my support request) I had done the above in full knowledge ...
