I think it's good that there are options to helping.

I don't think of helping somebody by PM is noble or a huge responsiblity.

If they PM asking, recognizing that you may know and they can avoid the public BS
it's understandable. It's also easier to help them.

There are plenty to carry on "collateral awareness" and all that it has to offer....
I find it refreshing to solve a problem without all the BS and it's nice when resolved
without all the BS fallout.

Nice to have choices wouldn't you say?

Yes.

Absolutely.


It's also nice to see people actually exercise their choice, as you do.

Ok...I went to find out what was interesting about it....

I find it interesting that somebody that would spend $500.00 for software for their first shot...I don't
think I've ever met anybody that would do that. I'd kinda like to meet him. I'm betting Randy would too.
Although I fully understand and agree with Julibee that terminology can be an issue in solving problems via the
manual....in this case, no. Mono/Stereo and panning are terms that the OP could have looked up and solved
the problem. If not....he's in for one hell of a trip. A $500.00 Cakewalk stroke I'm thinking. 

  
 
He stated he's using X1 Studio.  That's not $500 software.  if you bought it new, first time user, it was $199, IIRC.  if you upgraded from, say, Music Creator 5 (which was $50 and it was not based on X1, so functionality was very different) then the upgrade was $149.
 
not saying your point is invalid.  but it's not exactly as you describe, either.
 
 

Excuse me. Thanks for clearing that up.

The thing I like about getting help and helping via public forum is the fact that it can instigate collateral awareness.

PM help is a noble calling. It seems like a huge responsibility, to me, to commit to helping like that. Good for any and all that take on that task.

I find the public forum format rewarding because the collateral awareness is traveling in "all-kinda" directions and I find that I often learn stuff that I may have never thought about with out the varied inputs available in a public setting.


best regards,

I can't remember who it was now, but ages ago I sent a PM to someone asking for some 'private' help with a problem I was having. It was something to do with Home Studio 6 and I really didn't want to look like a complete plonker in front of the likes of Daveny and Papa by posting my total newb question in the HS forum.
 
The reply I got was that I should post the question in the forum (turns out it wasn't as embarrassing as I'd thought) and that the guy I'd PM'd would answer it there. His reasoning was that by answering the question in public it would add to the common knowledge base, and in any case, someone else was bound to ask it again sometime.
 
That actually made a lot of sense, and I've often replied to PMs from others seeking assistance in the same manner.
 
As Karl correctly points out, the daftest question is often the one that doesn't get asked.
 
 
 
BTW Beag, was it you who I PM'd all those years ago?

I often advise that as well. Sure as eggs are eggs, there'll be someone else somewhere wanting to know the exact same thing at some point. Just a shame the forum search is so temperamental.

I know it can be searched via the google site search but to use that you need to know how bad the search function is here in the first place.

Anyway Steve, shouldn't you be practising bass solos and JJ pouts?

My son and daughter are staying with me this weekend mate, so I haven't the time to practise...
 
But the pouting, posing, snarling and general shape-throwing are all coming along nicely
 
As if embarrassing two teenagers in Sainsburys wasn't enough fun already

Hey....you don't have to defend helping on the forums...I'm not against it.
I'm glad it's the way it is. It's entertaining and informative.


I was just pointing out what I prefer.
Like the one that PM'd recently for help...I've done what I can for now....there's been no hassles or BS.
It's just nice that way to me. Nobody had the oppertunity to throw it off-track or disrupt it in anyway.
He knows there may be others that may give him additional info and how to ask if he needs too. No damage done.

FWIW if it would have been me you PM'd Steve, I would have tried to help you.

it might very well have been, I don't remember specifically, but I know that I have said that to people in PM"s before.  I will usually try to help in the PM as well, but I'll often ask them to post it publicly, not only so that others can benefit, but also because I don't always think of everything and when it's posted publicly there are others who "have my back" so to speak!
