James, I'm really ticked off. I can't get your new form to print with the latest drivers on my printer. It's just inexcusable.

I have to admit I never even thought to check if _______________ might be a feature in some other DAW! I just assumed it would be impossible implement given current ___________ (specifically ____________ limitations).

You'll probably all laugh but the way I've always done it is to __________ the _________ to ______ ____ __________ format first and then manually ____________ the ________ using my two ancient ______ running in parallel to line up the ________ by ear! :shock:

But of course that won't ________ the ______ so to do that I use an old trick given to me by none other than ________ himself (!) which is to apply ________ __ ________ (which you can buy in most pet shops). It's smells like _______ and it's advisable to wear ________ but it will add ______ and _________ to the sound which I challenge any DAW to replicate in the _________ realm! So anyway with a lot of practice, patience (it takes about ___ hours per ______ minutes of _____) and if you have a steady __________ it can be done! :)

In case anyone's inerested, here's an example of how it actually sounds done the old fashioned way:

Phil

That's how I get in trouble here. I've gotten to where I scan the posts, catch the keywords (the ones that would be in the blanks), and start responding. Sometimes I miss the fact that a particular post doesn't follow the template, and is actually saying something else. More than once, I've written and posted an off-the-wall response like that. Usually, however, I catch them before I post, sometimes just having to delete the whole thing and moving on.

Gotta pay attention!

James Steele wrote:I just can't take it any more!!! How can ANYBODY get any work done with Digital Performer? For example, Billy has a barbecue function, which I need for my fanny. I like to gyrate and destroy with my pickle. This works for the way I work, darn it!! I don't see how MOTU can release something that doesn't eat when insulted. It's a travesty and an outrage!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!! I can't do my music because of this and my friends who use adult toys laugh at me and so I'm publicly announcing to everyone that I'm moving all my smelly projects to Hell, MI because it has the ability to salivate on those occasions when I ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE an automated way to wiggle my junk!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGHHHH!!!!!!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: I mean how can Digital Performer continue to be used by the evil corporations when it seems that it farts. I need cigarettes, so MOTU if you're reading this, you'd better shave or I'm drunk.
