My problem entirely :D Understood. :thumbup: In comparison I've found others (HP as another example) tend to amend model spec/number more openly when spec changes on a model whereas Dell haven't done. I've found all to be much the same with that sort of thing. I have three Samsung TVs in this house ...

...and worse it often changes between batches on the same model. ... I've worked with Dell professionally for about 27yrs (IT Manager by trade) and its been a common theme of them fitting what's available/cheap/bulk/sold on a golf course... This is a common theme across all big manufacturing ...

Don't know about on YT, but I used to listen to this regularly for that sort of interview.

Well, its a new day and I wish a good one for you over there in FL. Thanks, hope the day is kind to you as well. :) I know your comments weren't aimed at Drew, and I didn't mean to come across as defending him, just pointing out that I thought he made a good example of knowing when to take ...

I'm feeling you're refereeing a fight that's not actually happening here. ... Now you best have an argument with someone younger and with more energy. Best wishes. Once again, I try so hard to be clear, and you still think I'm arguing, I don't understand. You said something that bugged me, so I ...

...and... :-| Didn't bother me then, doesn't now either, and I doubt that it would've had I never heard it before today. Maybe that's just me, but I wouldn't assume that every arrangement needs a bass line, so wouldn't have pointed that out, necessarily, had it been posted here for critique (and ...

I mostly agree with you, but it still sounds (to me) like an overreaction (extremists view) to the mountain of BS out there. Drew referred to, but didn't bother repeating the bulk of the BS he got back. Instead, he picked out the bit that's potentially useful for his own journey, which I applaud. I ...

...with my main vocals I tend to largely go with whatever first comes out sounding nice. I think I need to apply a little more thought and rigour here. This has been educational. :) :clap: :thumbup: If you read up and try and do all the things you're supposed to do then you go mad and end up doing ...

The problem with that is that it would become as bloated as Windows, with similar 'oddities' cropping up unexpectedly. I think we need better specialisation. We've all got too used to the idea of a general purpose computer. I agree. It's certainly possible these days to have multiple small ...

I know you have it in you, just a matter of figuring how, when, and where to let it out.

A friend of mine described it as Anglicana - which works as a joke but not really as a genre description unfortunately. I don't know why not, it's FAR from the silliest genre name I've ever heard, and is more concise, and I'd say, more accurately descriptive of your stuff, than "Contemporary ...

I was elaborating on your POV. I was speaking in a general tone not directed at you... You can't really elaborate on my point of view without any knowledge or understanding of it. It seemed to me like you were arguing against the POV of someone who exists purely in your imagination. When you quote ...

Actually, I kind of agree with some of that. ...to an extent. But, gate-keeping? Seems to me like they're trying to sell as much "AI" as they can, to anyone who's buying.

I'm not sure how any of that has anything to do with what I said. Did you actually read what you quoted? These things are tools, use 'em if you want, I don't care. I have no interest in them personally, but I didn't say any of that crap you're trying to put in my mouth. Please stop, I don't ...

I think it's just because of the widespread misconception that it's "rules". As GilesAnt says, "...it describes what is happening rather than telling you what to do..." The word "theory" means explanation, not "rules". Clearly, there are no rules. ...the rather dry study of the theory of music, with ...

But it's not "many many suffixes", it's two, a letter and a number, simples. It's the marketing folks, and people spouting nonsense on the interwebs, that cause the confusion. The actual naming convention is as simple as it can be, and if it's too much for some people, maybe they aren't ready to be ...

I think it's perfectly named, all very logical and practical, as a standard, and its naming, should be.

That's where auto-corrupt should've questioned my use of "protocol", and here I am outside the edit window.

It's letters to name the physical connectors, and numbers to name the protocol versions*. Sorry if A-B-C, 1-2-3 is too complicated for you. :tongue: I think it's perfectly named, all very logical and practical, as a protocol, and its naming, should be. Power Delivery, On-The-Go, and Thunderbolt are ...

...but now we are stuck with all the standards that went before... ...only with older devices (no one can fully undo the mistakes of the past). Give it time, I haven't seen any new products with "micros" or "minis" for a while now. :) It's just A, B, and C, which seems simple enough (and it may end ...

Well, it did away with four or five different flavors of micro-this and mini-that, so I'd say it's been extremely helpful to most people, whether they realize it (or understand it) or not.

I realise that technically I could have done the same with PCs, but changing to Mac made me change my habits. Unfortunately for me, this trend over the last ~couple decades, of people preferring fewer options to force them to change their habitual "incessantly reconfiguring", has resulted in ...

...but there's a fair amount of cognitive function required (e.g. reading the patch name to confirm, both on the way into and out of the solo)... I'm not familiar enough with your keyboard to advise on the easiest way to set it up for quick switching without having to waste any time on extra ...

OK, makes sense, but how much control do you need for that? Do you want to make changes between (or during) individual phrases, or just between sections of a song? If the latter, then as Wonks suggests, switching between two predefined "levels" would be a lot easier (less distraction for both hands ...

At a glance, it looks pretty good! What about it makes you hesitate to recommend it for general use? I'm only relaying things second-hand from my son but it appears that you need to be online to receive calls and isn't quite as fool proof as Skype was. However, the idea looks great and my lad and ...

I'm curious, why do you want to adjust the mid-EQ while performing?
