Note to self:
 
Don't move to Washington State - not unless my lottery tickets are made of pure gold and start to shimmer & glisten in the sun.
 
And boy, I thought our taxes were high!
 
Now I feel grounded & back down to earth.
 
Sure hope your health improves there Bit!
 
And then right after that, this ridiculous auto font-resizing. I thought they fixed this forum last year already! 

Stay where you are and be happy, Jim. In BC you get the best of both worlds. The same laid-back attitude (mostly), clean air (mostly), proximity to water and seafood, greenery and of course BC Bud. And free French lessons on the back of every cereal box. You can always pop on down the road any time for a visit - apparently a popular option judging from all the BC plates I see at the mall.

Thanks, maybe I will give them a demo.  I suppose I should also really try and give the pro channel stuff a fair shake.

 
I just want to add my agreement to the comments about FabFilter - if money was no object, I'd have most of them, and I particularly like Pro-Q... it's intuitive and flexible, and certainly worth a try.
 
With ProChannel, the more I use it, the more I like it. QuadCurve is a nice EQ and having the 2 Compressors is convenient. I purchased PC2A Leveler module when it was on sale and that turned out to be a good deal. I'd encourage you to play with PC a bit - my only complaint is that I wish I could un-dock and float the PC modules.

Right on Bit! Pretty proud of our BC bud - that's for sure. Only do a tiny fraction of what I once did, but still top notch.
I honestly thought we'd beat your 1st 4 states in legalizing it, because our previous Prime Minister Jean Chretien was all ready to do so, until President George Dubya Bumble-feck the hypocrite stopped him from doing so.
Kind of ironic considering his past, not to mention the all too well known 'failed war on drugs'.
 
Thanks for the open invite - I rarely ever cross the line, but I know that so many do, for shopping mostly.
 
Hate the French on the other side of every box - everywhere. Why? Because almost every time I pick up a cereal box [or any other], I always seem to end up on the French side, only to have to turn the damn thing.
Quite annoying after 53 years - especially since most of us don't even speak French in Canada. Certainly way less than 50%. If anything, our 2 or maybe even 3 official languages will soon be English, Chinese, [actually Mandarin], and East Indian - [probably Punjabi].
 
I remember seeing a comedian talk about this. Apparently it has to do with most people being right handed, and they way we unwittingly grab & turn the packages to read them.
Maybe I should have kept up with my ambidextrous practices in school. If I had, maybe I'd be lefty by now, and not have this dang problem anymore. 

Our hope is to move up to OR or WA to get a ranch in a couple of years, our target timeline is about 5 years.  It will be nice to get out of CA.
 
The hard part will be finding a job of course.  Maybe by then my company will let me tellecommute.

On a completely unrelated note to the current discussion but, related to the thread subject...

Does anybody know if the 10% discount for referrals by current fabfilter customers would apply on top of the 25% discount of the sale. Just curious. I have been eyeing a few of their plugins, particularly Saturn and Timeless, and wouldn't mind jumping on a bundle if it was 35% off. I don't own any as of yet.

I don't think the referral discount applies to discounted bundles, unfortunately. Just to individual plugins. 
 
Keep me in mind if you do decide to spring for one, though! I'd be very appreciative to anybody who lets me refer them. 8 referrals and I get a bicycle. Or Pro-DS.

For sure bit. Not to sound creepy but I was planning to PM you for the referral if I went through with the purchase anyway. I don't post a lot but I read the forum quite a bit and have found your posts really helpful. Your posts are a big reason why I've been checking out fabfilter and melda stuff lately. Thanks.

.... Seriously, I swear I'm not creepy...

Thanks, Mantofini. Not creepy at all. Creepy is the guy who wanted to sign me up for a religious cult and made a point of emphasizing they weren't the least bit into Kool-Aid, just mushrooms.

lol, nothing wrong with some good mushrooms...
