are over. LOL.
I've been off since last Thursday enjoying building a guitar and a few other projects so decided to spend
my last day off fooling around with trying to record something while my family is traveling back from a convention in Dallas...
but the computer Gods have different plans...I pushed the power button this morning and nothing happened. I do know that
whatever the problem is it's with the computer.
 
Currently I'm thinking that will be the end of DAW for me. I'll take some time to think about it and see if I really even miss it. At least
I have an image to load if I do buy a new PC.
 
What really has me wondering about it is that even though I enjoy recording I'm mostly the only one that hears it and the only reason I record
is to enjoy playing my guitar and I can do that without recording. I do like to have drum grooves to jam with- that's how I get song ideas but
having a groove helps me get into really playing, if that makes sense. Sure don't need much for that.
 
Well if you don't hear from me again at least you'll know that I hung up my recording guns and left wishing you all the best and thanks for a fun
ride.
 
 

I'm still working on those templates. :-)


I had a 'puter issue myself that caused me to side track. 

We've also had the parade of dishwashers here at the house. We finally got one to work on the third delivery/install... but not before I had a kitchen full of water. :-S




Anyways... keep the beat!


best regards,
mike

hang tight spacey,

not enough good guys in this world like you.
need you here in this place.

Hi, Spacey.  It sounds like you've already made up your mind not to debug or replace the PC.  A power problem like that could be fairly easy to fix--or it could be the CPU or motherboard.  You should at least check the easy stuff like cables and switches.  If you want any help with that, I more than willing to give it a try.  

In any case, I hope you don't abandon the CH.  Like chuckbaby said we need you here.  

Good luck, 
Jan

7037 posts and your leaving now!?!? lol


Good luck to you! (I mean that sincerely)

You take the road that suits you most Spacey.  There will always be a empty seat at my table any time you want to kick back and spin your wheels or twang you guitar my friend.



PS had PC issues here to, was it the MoB No, was it the PSU No, was it the Graphics card No, was it the RAM No, only once all those had all been replaced did the fried CPU reveal its self. Fortunately not my DAW but the email server.

I was lightly saying if I should give up on computer recording and not have anything left that I feel is what we all relate to- then why would I even post? Just how my little brain works.

    I'm sure I'm not alone in finding your guitar construction threads very interesting to see, even though I can barely tell one guitar from another and whether you use sonar or not really doesn't bother me at all, so no reason to give up on us at least ;)

Wookiee should I ever make a bucket list the first on it will be to trip to England and visit you guys.
I do wish for that.

I guess maybe some can relate to a train of thought or "condition" that I have apparently aged into...

Being 58 and I've realized that with it seemingly to be not many "functioning" years remaining I have become very
quick at not tolerating anything in my life that becomes what I feel is a waste or a constant irritation.
Not many things reach that point because I do take time to at least feel like I've given serious thought, to the best I can.
The computer world has reached a state in my life where the cons seem to out number the pros.
I do believe that if I had not been given a push from my wife that it would have been over.  
No it wouldn't be easy to "walk away" from here but not feeling like having a common bond and having that "condition" I
believe it to be a logical "reality" for my way of thinking. ( I sure never thought it was like giving up on the friends here...and
thank you Paul for the very kind words. If that PC can be repaired I'll post how the current build has gone so far. )

Well my day started out one way and I shared it. Now it's the same day but in an entirely different light...funny how fast
things can change.

:-)

I had the impression from previous conversations that you didn't want any of us to push you in the direction of getting the computer fixed or replaced.

I thought we had an understanding.

:-)


Anyways, I'm glad you are sticking with it. I always enjoy listening to your music.


all the best,
mike
