Well... I for one am a little disappointed in the attacks on Chuck's spelling and grammar. Say what you will about his opinions or occasionally bombastic posting style but those kinds of attacks, IMO, are uncalled for. Anyone who is familiar with Chuck knows that he is most definitely NOT an unintelligent person and despite the occasional cranky post he is always willing to help which is what we are here for. I can understand the OPs frustration but his thread title is somewhat inflammatory and yes, if this function was that important to him a bit of research would have helped avoid this. He could have also checked with us sooner and been a little less aggressive with his rant here. That is likely what upset Chuck in the first place. I do think that it's a bit odd that MIDI out functionality doesn't work in X1s Matrix but whatever. The real problem is Cake support didn't mention this when he contacted them thus wasting time.
But that's not the point. You don't know why Chuck's posts are occasionally misspelled. Perhaps there is a reason. His points are usually clear, easy to understand and most importantly well intentioned if you just take a moment to read them. Do we mock those from other countries with language barriers or those with disabilities on this site now? You just don't know what people's personal situations are. I have been offended more than once by shockingly insensitive comments put towards myself or in general here relating to people in my situation which I do not advertise nor complain about. In those instances though I shrug it off because people just don't know any better... because I have not told them... because it has nothing to do with music or digital recording. I also try not to fault those people for their remarks. I'm sure in many cases if they knew the deal they would not have said those things. It still doesn't mean that those comments can't be painful or infuriating.
I do not know what his story is in this regard but I do know that he has been nothing but helpful and supportive of me since I first bumbled onto this site and don't feel he deserves that kind of low brow treatment. I do very much like you guys but I've been watching this thread and biting my tongue. Please at least try to keep the personal attacks out of the discussions. We have plenty of on topic things to scream at each other about as it is without stooping to that level.
Peace.
