Sorry, but this is not for me. It contains almost every ingredient I abhor in Big Beat disco stuff. I didn't make it to three minutes. Never mind, others will surely appreciate it.

None of these things are an issue if all participants are free of the virus, Shirley..? Are there not tests, now, to indicate if one is infected or not..? Then there's the hand-washing, alcohol gel, face mask stuff; don't these protect folks that have to work together..? How many of the situations mentioned keep people close for 15 minutes or more..? Not such a big deal, I'd say, although sensible precautions would be in order. Just sayin'.

We've never gone in for this 'Whatever'-Day stuff, and nor did my parents. We do mark birthdays, though, and Christmas (because it's Our Daughter's birthday..! ). I'm too old to bother now with any of it, and don't miss what we never had.

I've been using Reaper for many years now, on rather light-weight hardware (Intel i5-2500 PC, Windows 10 Pro, 12 Gb ram...), and have stuffed it pretty full of orchestral instruments, or several (read 'many'...) Kontakt instances, up to 32 treated drum tracks and much more, and wouldn't use it if it crashed. If Reaper is crashing, maybe another DAW would, too..? Post your issues here, or on the Cockos 'Reaper' forum and get them aired, at least. Solutions may well be not far away... Just sayin'; hope this helps.

Remember..? Remember what..? And speak up, man; at my age, hearing's not what it was..! Where's my slippers..? ...

Good evening, BB, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. 70th year, eh..? Snap..!

Look up 'Jimmy Smith', maybe..? Or Brian Auger, for a bit more modern approach..? Georgie Fame wasn't off-topic, either. Rhoda Scott is Quality. There are more, many more...

To me, insurance is a form of betting. It's laying odds on the transaction going badly, at whatever to one. Sometimes the bet pays off, sometimes the bet is welshed. For my part, I never take out insurance, and have not lost out as a consequence. I'd say that, in general, if the item is of such high value, it's worth a personal delivery. Just my tuppence-worth.

Likely result ...

Thanks for the comment (and the compliment..!). We'll see what can be done. Please understand, however, that any 'customisation' of the Forum has a high penalty associated with future updates, and the policy is always to limit this as far as is reasonable. Thanks in advance for your comprehension.

Good morning, BBBB, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good afternoon, Stu , and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Spoil-sport. And, to be fair, he was warned, you know..!

+1 for this ^^. Kontakt is my most-used Vst, and covers enormous swathes of ground. Well worth acquiring (I bought my Full license from a BC Marketplace ad...) My thumb is up for Spitfire, too.

A start indeed it is, young Padawan.

Here's a starter for ten, if you want to play around with stuff ... FullPack4950.zip It's a series of treatment modules. There's a URL in there if more info is needed.

I've well over five thousand Vst's, and at least two thousand more waiting to be 'tested'. Don't say you weren't warned.

Best Free VST Plugins ... DSK Music ... Vst 4 Free ... Well, I tried to warn you... (Stay away from Synths, though; three lifetimes won't be enough...)

Be careful; be very careful. There are Vst's galore out there, and very soon the hard disk is full, and you can't find the one you want in Reaper (or any other DAW...), it's so choked up. How do I know..? Ha..! Decide what genre you're after (Instruments..? Fx..? Treatment..? Drums..? The list goes on...). OK, instruments. Modern band stuff (Guitars, bass, keys, brass...)..? Orchestral (No, I can't list here; there's really too much...)..? Ethnic flutes, steel drums, didgeridoos..? No..? OK, Fx. Dirt boxes..? Delay, reverb, phase, flange, whatever... Treatment..? Compressors, mastering tools, de-noisers... Tell us what interests you the most, in the first instance, and we can go from there. Be aware: this way, madness lies. Be careful; be very careful. Hope this helps.

Schubert, most especially the 9th.

I should have kept my Hofner President Florentine, and would snap up another if ever I come across one, but the longest-owned is 'My Old Lady', my Hofner Comittee, loving restored, bought from a tat-shop, Weybridge, for £75 in '69 or '70 (it's all so hazy now...). She had the headstock snapped off thanks to me carelessly leaning her in the corner of the room and an over-active nephew, but was made good as new again (or better...) by a fabulous luthier in Nantes (Alain Raifort...) over a period of several years..! I have many guitars and basses, but she is 'The Special One'...

Good afternoon, Ozan, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
