Goodbye for now!

Happy New Year!

Two of my favorite daily activities have now become mutually exclusive!

1. Using SONAR (X1)
2. Browsing and posting on this forum

I can't do both, since that leaves me to question my sanity. Reading all the threads here I obviously shouldn't be able to use X1 to any real effect, and if I think I can, I'm not a 'power user' or 'pro' or whatever.

But the good news is that reading posts here makes me much sadder than using X1, so that makes my choice pretty easy!


So have a real nice 2011 everyone, and see y'all around X2 release time!!!

Sven,
 
Sometimes I feel as you do.  Being somewhat of an outspoken guy, I'm never sure who's talking about who around here...
 
But I would prefer you stick around, as much I sometimes wanna go away too.  Your input is valuable.
 
If you choose otherwise, I understand and would hope others do.
 
 

I look forward to your posts Sven. You have a positive effect on this forum. Don't give up and stop in when you get time.

Please reconsider and stick around Sven, I like your posts. If you could find a way of reconciling your X1 and forum activities I am sure others would appreciate it too.

Regards

I think this is a wise observation; I probably fall into this category also. Enjoy making new music!!!!

Happy New Year from Iowa, Sven!!!!!!!   

Sven, I don't know you very well, but this has worked for me so far.  I have been able to make do by mostly avoiding the "Yay!" and "Boo!" threads, and just by sticking to the problem/solution threads.
If I have something to share, be it a good thing, a bad thing, or just an ugly thing, I'll post a thread here asking for advice or offering info.  I try to keep my scope limited so I won't drive anybody batty.  Like "how can I make better use of blah blah?" or "I can't get function Q to work" (haha, that last one was an inside joke). 
 
Question:   "How do you eat an elephant?" 
Answer:  "One bite at a time!" 
 
  
 
On this forum, we are not going to solve X1's problems, regardless of whether they are real or perceived.  Or whether they are perceived to be perceived.  Uh oh, I am looking at infinity again!
 
But the work we do here today, this week, and going forward will eventually have a bearing (for better or for worse) on the future of X1.  So it's still a good arena in which to work. 
 
Once my most immediate questions are posted, then I'll begin looking for similar type threads from other users, based solely on the subject line.  If a subject line sounds like it might be a love/hate thread (as I call them), I just don't look.  I am in the learning and problem-solving mode right now, so love/hate threads are really out of scope for the work I need to do right now. 
 
Plus, I think if somebody loves X1, they're happy and nothing will change their mind.  If somebody hates X1, nothing ANYBODY else says will change that person's heart or mind either.  So why waste time and energy arguing?  We are so polarized right now, arguing for post after post after post is just the height of self-importance.  Which is also out of scope for the work I need to do.  I need to keep feeding my muse, to keep my karma out of the mud.
 
Even this very post I make will have limited usefulness, if any at all.  Some folks won't read it.  Others will read it and go right back into the previous (or next) argument.  Some might call me a name or issue an unflattering response.  Whatever floats their boats!  But self-punishment is not in my game plan, so I probably will not return to this thread.  There's too much I want to try to get done today.  I might not even watch any football, oh horrors!
 
But I offer these thoughts only because it is working for me.  The forum is not getting me down like it was last week and I'm smiling today, so that must be something! 

I respect your decision personally Sven, and there is much truth in what you say about getting back to "the simpler period" of just the joy of creating and recording music. Have a good time and see you on your return whenever that may be

I can see where Sven is coming from. I let the posts here get to me too and I almost backed out of X1. I'm glad I didn't now though.

chris is right, you can't let the negativity get to you. Heck, for all we know the people who get out of line here are plants from other companies and your giving them just what they want. Stranger things have happened!
