Whats up guys, how are you all? Good to see some of the old gang still around

where've you been Rob?  hope things are well with you!

Good to see you're still breathing Rob....

You back or just dropping in for a visit? 

A few of us are still holding the fort against the onslaught ......  

We have more gray hairs and higher post counts these days....

Been super busy at work, and dealing with family issues. Good to check in. Gray hairs are better than no hairs i guess!

How you doing, Robo?
Several of us have undergone... things this year. Endeavor to persevere.

I am good Greg, i have ahd to deal with my 96 year old father, but the old buzzard is hanging in there. Also some leve of grief with one daughter. Work has been a bear, we had to lay off three people, and i am doing three jobs. To tired to do much forum browsing.

Not new music, just a little time refining my live sets. no gigs recently, but have been jamming a few times with friends. Mostly by myself for stress relief.

Hope all you folks are doing fine.

Your dad is as old as my mom.... still kicking it...

at least you were not among the 3 let go.....

Music is good, try to spend more time with it and come back when you can. 

Good to hear from you, Rob.
I'm going through some challenges as well.
Yeah, knocking out some riffs at the end of the day is a great stress relief.
Hang in there, buddy.

Hi Rob,

To Herb's grey hairs I can add half an inch shorter and 5 inches 'rounder'.  My wife say's there are 3 of us in this marriage now, me , her and 'Dave'.

Just listened to your 'Tambourine Man' 'cos I'd not heard that since the cd's displaced the vinyl's and 'record player' into the loft.

'Together They Stand' suggests that you must take time or make time
for some more composition.  Easier said than done I know but I hope you can.

Regards, 

'Fat Dave' 

aka

Vincent.

Years ago you helped me get started with MC3.  I am still grateful!  So kind and patient.
 Now I have a computer with Windows 7, 64 bit, MC5.  I bought an M-Audio KeyStudio 49i keyboard and have never been able to get it to work properly.  It does respond to TTSI and the Cakewalk Soundcenter - but very softly.  Can't get the volume to adjust.  I've taken the computer and keyboard to a Music Center and was told I'd have to get a different program.  The keyboard is fine.  M-audio said the same thing: that the keyboard is Windows 7, 64 bit compatible.  I looked at the reviews of MC6 online, and they weren't good.
My needs are extremely simple.  I do transcriptions, etc. on a grand piano, and sometimes need to include a simple obligato (such as flute, harp ) or some bells, for example.  I don't need anything complicated.
Do you know of any way to get the keyboard to work with MC5 - or do you know of another simple program that will work with this computer and keyboard?  I'm so used to Cakewalk that I hate to leave it, but the MC 6 reviews said it was all changed and difficult to figure out and get working.   I'd really appreciate your advice, as I'm just stuck, it seems.   Any hope that you could answer this to my e-mail - as I really don't know what to do.    windrow@localnet.com
