AnsweredBapu's (and others) random thoughts for the day.

Of course the singer will have a handful trying to claim them in Utah and may have to consider a monophonic relationship of a bassist.

I quite like the idea of playing keyboards and then getting the pussy...

DOH, typo.
 

Oh lookie here.......no loopie needed.

eh?

what loop?
 

are you waiting in the wings there Meshio??
 

oh... how about that... I'm so slow I thought I was still on page 1415...
 
ah well... I through a few more in when you lot from "over there" are in bed LOL 
 

I see you caught up to yourself.
Welcome back!!

haha! yeah... eventually
 
back now, with 1416 all to myself............

761.

Jojo, get back to where you once belonged.

Hi,
 
That's some picture!

haha! good meme that 
 
I've just cloned my system drive, so I'm on my new SSD, but I've not run any software yet. I'm currently copying my data stuff across to the other new SSD...

yeah... that was taken from my webcam!
 
I'm now attempting to "upgrade" to Windows 8.1
 
I might be back much, much later....................

That upgrade didn't go too smoothly me (not as smooth as it was with Win 10 was). I got an error (no display.....just a black screen) with Intel's onboard HD graphics driver (an issue others were having as well). However, I switched to using my dedicated graphics card (HIS IceQ 7870) and everything worked out.
 
Other than that,  the upgrade was a nice improvement over Win 8.
 

Well, thankfully,  my 8.1 upgrade went pretty smoothly, although I didn't test any software... I'm now diving straight into W10.........

Do you need to or should you update all your hardware drivers to 8.1 first?
Then, Win 10 will automatically embrace it. :)

This is so exciting Synkro......like awaiting the birth of a new baby (in tech land of course).

Oooh... Never thought of that...
 
W10 is installed and running but I'm need to start checking graphics drivers and what have you...
 
Still a bit to do before I even bother starting SPlat.

Interestingly, I checked (after Win 10 installation) for any drivers needing updates and lo and behold....everything was up to date!!
 
Of note, I used this little tool to update the software I used regularly in Win 8.1 before going to Win 10. A fantastic little tool: https://ninite.com/ 

Thanks Mesh, I'll make a note of ninite...
 
I'm in SPlat now, playing my latest project and everything seems fine... My QUAD-CAPTURE is working... I've not found anything yet that I need to re-activate or re-authorise... Yet!
 
Tests will continue into the nite 

Congrats on the upgrade!!
 
I too looked to see if anything was missing that would interfere with my DAW, but everything (so far) seems to be good.
 
I'm very happy with Win 10 and the painless upgrade.   
 
Into the NI-nite you go!!

Erm... What about "core parking?"
 
Do we have to bother with that now?
 
I've done a quick search on t'interwebs and that didn't help on the subject.

I'm not sure about that and not at my DAW right now.....will check tonight. Generally, I've left Sonar's settings as they were and not changed anything with Win 10.
 
Regarding you PCR 300 keyboard, apparently there's a Win 8.1 hack for this. Fireberd over at the Computer forum said he got his PCR 500 to work. You may want to PM him on that fix.

Ah, right... Thanks
 
I've just been through all of my VSTi and I the only ones I had to re-authorise were my AAS plugs, and that was pretty easy anyway...

Wow!! You went through ALL your VST's??
I have about 350 and only checked a dozen or so (the one's I go to regularly)........what's your secret in speed checking VST's?

 So their clients include rocket scientists, brain surgeons and, er, cheap plastic containers for leftover food??? 

It's not like you want to put those brains in a paper bag during the ride to the International Space Station. Trust me on that.

That wasn't brains per se...
(You see, there was this guy in middle management and...)

Did some say brains?
 
I though it was trains and missed that as well.

It's too bad that 26,973 of those views are from one person...

Well if we win him over we've got it made. Perhaps it's time to introduce a posting fee. 2 cents per post, 3 posts for a nickel. With his habit we'de be rolling in money.

You're right the numbers don't add up. Actually it's more like 5,000 views per day. You get extra points and are now in line for a forum host job should an opening come up.

I thought the host job was a particularly sadistic form of punishment. No?
 
But I'm just glad there wasn't summin wrong with my brain - I was worried I left the tupperware out too long before I put it in the fridge last night.

It says this fred has had over 6.2 million views.  I'm guessing some are from alien beings trying to figure earthlings out before they attack.  Little do they know that this fred is actually a deterrent to doing anything.

As of now, we're averaging 5,230 views per day on 70 replies every two days and yet it still hasn't had a positive effect on anything... 

But which is the saddest. The 70 posters, or the 5,000 just watching them.

That's 18 effects and 30 instruments.
 

Or about 1/20th of the VST's that Bapu has. 

My reported VST count is 1669.
 
However that includes UAD Demo versions (too lazy to remove), about 40 VST2 and VST3 versions of the same plug (some VST3s don't work yet, like ANTARES) and all Waves mono versions too.
 
But still, the 1/20th is a valid point.

LOL!
 
but how many do you use?
 
even of those I've listed above, I bet I only use about 20% of em in any of my projects

synkrotron
but how many do you use?
 

All of them. In every project.
 
Now you know why my projects sound like sh!te.

I'm not sure what to say to that LOL! I guess you're just pulling my leg cos I'm new around here 

We call it the "Bapu Effect."

Actually, EZ Mix2 is very good for guitar, bass, keys, vocals, drums and more. You can get some good results from this on practically any track that's meh sounding.
I like it coz I'm a lazy bum that can't spend long periods of time on plugs and like quick good/EZ results. Their Mix packs are also very useful.

I use the Bass Chorus in EZMix2 frequently.
