Donald Duck is ginger..?

I must say that I'm a bit confused by the mix of 'digital' and 'analogue' in their 'blurb'. The samples are digital, that's certain; the analogue part is, I presume, the volume knob or audio filtering..? Dunno, really. I can't see what the 'hardware' aspect does, sonically, compared to a wholly software equivalent, such as a Vst drum plug-in. Am I missing something..? There must surely be something that justifies such a price for a metronome with buttons, but I can't see what.

Now that he's in his twenties, it's a slightly more rare spectacle, I trust..?

You have Audacity..? In the 'Effect' menu, choose 'Change Tempo', type in the percentage change required (-50 for half-speed, for example, or use the slider control...) and that's done. It takes a few seconds; you can save the result if required. I've just done a FLAC file this way; there's no need to look at all the 'complicated' gubbins it can do if that's all you want. No good..?

I don't think so. Do you think they should, in the interest of gender balance..?

Joint second..? Phew, he's a tough one to please..!

And the winner is... Brook_Fan..! Here, then, is your Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2018_12.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)... ... and a Happy New Year to one and all..!

It does have the dubious advantage of obliging the player to learn how to tune the guitar often.

If I understood correctly what was said at the recent Polish meeting, if (when..?) the Antarctic ice has all melted away, the world's oceans will be seventy metres deeper. I've not seen a world map with that 70m coastline drawn on it, but a lot of people will need to learn to swim, and many nations will become disconnected islands. S'not electric cars we'll be needing, but electric canoes. Due for end of century or near enough, I believe. Global warming, pshaw..? Hmm... Not for some. Still, let the scoffers scoff, eh..? It's not the moral high ground that's needed, but the geographical high ground.

Good evening, SB, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

I've several drum packages (normal; I'm a drummer..! ), but hadn't come across this one before now. I've had a scout around their site, and listened to a fair bit of it, and if that style, or sound, is what's required, they seem pretty darned good. Personally I look for more variation than just playing kick and snare, so brushes, hot-rods, timpani sticks etc are important to me, as well as left hand/right hand nuances, and could see nothing of the sort. If you want to compare something, have a look at BFD3, which is slightly more costly (but not excessively so...), but has, it seems to me, far more scope for differing styles. Stuff like Superior Drummer 2 would not be a fair comparison, nor MDrummer, but there are several other drum sets out there. If you're using Kontakt, for instance, there are Shreddage drums that are wonderful for... errr... shreddage. 'Strike', from Air Music Technology are good, too, as are KVLT drums (yes, that's how they spell it...). Vast choice, really. I'll probably download the free set, just to see how they stack up; if they're really as good as they say, I'll invest, but they're up against stiff competition.

One cannot have two 'smilies' for the same post, so I'm adding the 'Like' here, instead...

Good evening, SL, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Well done on getting such a bargain.

No worries; just trying to help.

I presume that this is meant to be 'vacation' (holidays...)..?

This will do what you want... Behringer UMC404HD... ... for less than £100. We use Motu stuff for recording multi-mic (full band, with drums...), with the Traveler, for example, but it costs over £700. Is it worth the difference..? Probably not, for the experiments you're doing. The Behringer would be fine.

This ^^ could also be explained by difference in fret material, perhaps..?
