Come on, James, a nice camomile tea cup and everything will be ok again :D :D

P.S.
By the way, if DP could behave as my friend DAW does it would be much ...

:lol: Wow, you nailed it.

I've never understood that kind of complaining. It makes no sense. We have it so easy. It's just the nature of [some] people, I suppose. I do get frustrated from time to time when I can't figure something out, or a feature doesn't work the way I think it should or not the way it was described as working, or if I have to perform eight steps instead of two to do something simple.

Being on this forum has really helped me. I found out DP could do things I wouldn't have dreamed it could do, and it does it well and intuitively--well, not always intuitively. I used DP as a tape machine for a lot of years while using an analog or digital desk. Then came the time when my consoles were in for repair, and I thought, "Well, I've read about MITB, I might as well check it out." I haven't hooked up a console since.

I'm happy and satisfied with DP, but just like anything else (like my car or my dog) I can get upset with it now and then. I have tried a few other DAWs, but they didn't do it for me. Not that there was anything horribly wrong with them, i just didn't feel a connection. DP and I have history. I look forward to both of us getting better with age.

Reminder to self: Don't ever piss off James. :shock:

But seriously, I hear ya, James. We have to post our problems, but it's the tone of some posts that is so distressing. We really do appreciate all your hard work, even if it doesn't always come across that way. :D
