I don't understand how the video could be misinterpreted. It is pretty straightforward.

Documented procedures don't work as they should. Mike is not making this up.

Now I am confuzzled.

Now that is a great new avatar Randy, ol pal.  Two thumbs up...way up.

Hey!  Thank you much, Yorolpal.  That's a great note from you, someone who has one of the supremely quirky avatars.  'preciate it.

Hey now, Mikey - You need to cool your jets.  There's no need to bark at me because you're frustrated.  I'm not perverting or accusing, and I can't speak for John T. 

... and I certainly am not trying to drag you over to my "side" or anything. But we are both making exactly the same point here.

Yeah, we are John. - Mike - and nprime - To me X1 is so not-ready-for-prime time.  I poke at it some now and then, not as much as I did at first, because I find it very slow going, ugly to look at, full of buggy weird things.  I'd rather get work done than struggle with it, and that's why I"m working in 8.5 today.  So I'm the last person to defend X1 at all costs.

I'm just saying that I'm confused by the video.  It's long, tedious, and I don't really care to watch it again.  I'm sure you were trying to make a legitimate point.  I suppose convoluted instructions like you were following can be found in 8.5's manual too-?  Maybe.  I don't know--Groove Clips just aren't all that difficult, and so as I suggested, maybe the manual should be re-written.  I guess they were taking the worst case scenario, which is to work with a clip that was recorded in free time.  To me, the first instruction should just be, "Don't make groove clips out of free time clips unless you're a masochist."--Ya know?

And so on--This is just --confusing, and I don't think very helpful to the cause which is that X1 needs major fixing up before it can be taken seriously.

So.  You were making a dramatization.  Right?--That's OK.  I just originally took it to be a video of you genuinely unable to get work done because of a bug you couldn't work around.  And I'm sure other people took it that way too.  And--perhaps that wasn't the best approach.  Kind of ticks me off that it wasn't what you were really dealing with, but I'll get over it.

"I guess they were taking the worst case scenario, which is to work with a clip that was recorded in free time.  To me, the first instruction should just be, "Don't make groove clips out of free time clips unless you're a masochist."--Ya know?"

Are you serious? Don't make groove clips out of free play music? I do with audio clips each and every day.

I don't do it with MIDI that much because I usually write MIDI... but I do like playing my MIDI drum clip.

If I played to a click and used Set Measure/Beat at Now the same bugs would be all over the place.

I can't believe you think I was play acting... I'm shaking my head in dis belief that you can imagine such a thing.


PS don't insult me and then tell me to cool my Jets.

Still attacking the messenger John?

The answer is simply that I felt like working in that manner on that day? I wanted to play my drum track and make a short loop and then jam some bass and guitar.

That's what I wanted to do... and it says right in the manual that I can.

And I am dismayed that after buying 17 upgrades that I can not.

This is more of your slime ball methodology of being a jerk... and asking impertinent questions in an attempt to discredit some one.

The worst part about your bull **** style is that every time I have answered your questions you insist on asking them again because you don't like that answer.

That's exactly what happened on the encounter 1-1/2 months ago.

If you asked me that question you just posted above to my face I would slap you silly.

That's why I've had you blocked for 1-1/2 months... because you are trying to start a fight... and you are such a pussy you will not even stand up and admit it.

Quoting this for posterity.

oh my.  Another of a growing list of threads to unsubscribe from.  This is out of hand.  I'm confused as ever. 

Mike, you are so wildly contradictory from post to post, I can't make heads or tails of it.  YOU SAID that you know how to make groove clips.  You said you were making a demonstration of what it could be like - but that it wasn't what you actually went through, because you know what you're doing.  Now in this new post, and some others, you're saying that no, you actually COuldn't get more work done because you don't know how to make groove clips work.  WHich is it?--I don't know--who could know, since you've said the two opposite things on this thread.

You're out of control, Mike, and I haven't insulted you just by frickin' asking for a clarification about what you're trying to do in this thread.  I Will tell you to COOL YOUR JETS because you're acting like you're on crack or something, trying to say two opposite things at the same time, and your replies have me pissed off.  Great hmm?  Alienate someone who doesn't have any higher an opinion of X1 than you do. 

Stay off my case, and for your own sake, and the cause of getting problems with X1 to be properly heard, don't screw up more of your own threads!--

Ah, large fonts and bold text. Always increases the correctness.

Add some red in your next post. That'll take it over the top.

More attacking the messenger.

Why not address the message and consider that it is answering your question.

This is the slime ball technique that you use each time...

I figured maybe you'd actually read the big letters... but no?

You claim I fabricated something when in fact all I did was press record and show people the steps I went thru.

The act of pressing record made it a demonstration.

Well, I dunno. I wouldn't say really attacking the messenger, per se. More pointing out that the message was a disingenuous one. If that offends the messenger, then I'd put that down to a making omelettes / breaking eggs thing, really.

Clearly, you can't actually defend your position and are reduced to just flinging feeble insults around. Carry on if you like. I'm not above admitting I'm finding it pretty amusing, though my real preference would be for you in general to stop acting like such a baby all the time. You really are dragging this forum down of late. Anyone who doesn't agree with you is sickening and outrageous. Jeez, it's like being trapped in a lift with Liberace.

more attacking the messenger.

You shouldn't eve be writing about me or what you think about me.

It is that simple.

I'll do the same for you when you finally begin acting civil.

Yes, you have finally gotten under my skin and infuriated me and this is because you have now questioned my integrity.

I don't care what you think... but keep it to your self.

Stay on topic... question or comment on the the techniques demonstrated in the video... but stay away from criticizing me as cheap shot way to... well... I don't know what you actually have in mind.

I found a way around the groove clip lengthening problem - by editing the 'Beats in clip' property under Clips|Groove Clip to what it should be.   

Yes that usually works but some how using the Set Measure/Beat at Now seems to really make that a mess... I was experimenting with that before I went to work this morning and the clip expanded on both sides.

If you don't use the Set Measure/Beat at Now then editing the B eats ibn Clip property is very useful.

This is definitely going into my list of Top 10 Funniest Threads Ever (warped sense of humor that I have). You guys are awesome.

It was not pretending and you are attacking the messenger again... you simply will not acknowledge that you do this in an effort to ridicule other people.

Seriously dude, you are ridiculing yourself. There wouldn't be room for me to even if I wanted to.
