Just an update to the above................ My PC crashed , so I re booted back to factory settings ( two years previously ). All my programs had to be re installed - including the drivers for my M Audio Fast Track . When I searched the internet , found a driver and installed it , only to find I now had very bad latency . Searched the internet again and found INSTALLER 6.0.6 and DRIVER 5.10.0.5133 . Installed it , and found that not only has it got rid of my latency problem , I now find that X-Edit is now fully functional .( at the same time the Edit program for my Bass V Amp is fully functional - which didnt work before ) NOW VERY HAPPY

Update...... Saw the specialist , explained that there was no numbness but was concerned about the loss of strength in my hand . He said I would not have any strength just yet because he removed two slices of muscle ! Give it 3 to 6 months to build up again ! Do not do any excercises , just use you hand as normal , the muscles will strenthen up again - his exact words . Must admit , doing odd jobs etc is much more of a task now , but I can feel the strength comming back . Anyone who has this carpal tunnel problem ( severe right hand , as in my case ) GET IT DONE , ITS WORTH IT ! My wife is having her hip replaced in 4 weeks time , so that has put a hold on me getting my left hand done . Need to do all the housework , washing etc so need both hands . Pete

Seem to have lost a lot of strength in my right hand . Undoing a drill chuck , for example , I have to hold the drill body under my RH arm , while undoing the chuck with my LH - cannot grip and undo the chuck with my RH . Undoing a bottle top , is a no no (fancy having to ask the wife to take the top of a beer bottle off ! - she can keep a record of how many I have now !) Seeing the specialist next Friday morning , going to find out if this is normal . It has NOT affected how I play Bass ( fingers or pick ) I still play just as bad
