No but the ToneX One midi interface turned up today, so I am going to have a play with that

If I could go to the albert hall for £60 and only pay £40 for two people to get a train, I would do it more often! Probably a difference to me - if it is a choice between making music and watching other people do it, I am playing every time

I bet he didn't - I bet he said something more like "You won't believe how many frets you need for slap - the 21st fret will shock you!!!"

Was at the same gig, but we missed most of Janes Addiction beccause my wife was getting a tattoo and it took longer than we had planned for - had to get a taxi from hornchurch to the O2, but luckily it was so late it was easy to get in and there werent any crowds, it all worked well, and enjoyed the gig. But yes, 3 and a bit hours there and back, but we stayed overnight so another £100 or so for a hotel, and the cost of the tattoo, and the shopping the following day, all in all the cost of the ticket was practically nothing! But in general going to london is very expensive, so we haven't been in a long time now. We went up for Too in 22l, but that had been the first for a while and probably the last for a long time (apart from gatwick on the way to new york, but that doesn't really count). There are no groups that I would pay over £100 to see and that seems almost normal for there now.

Wisdom is knowing that it won't make a triffle nice either way Yes, school is not a nice place if you are in any way different, and having to play dumb so you don't get your head kicked in.

Probably worth mentioning to them then

The last time I did that, when i bought a squier classic vibe P bass, I tried the Squer, an fender standard and a fender american - I certainly didn't *hear* that much of a difference between them (there was obviously a difference, but I mean in terms of one being better than the other), but the fender american *felt* better than the others, and the Squier felt better than the fender standard. The squier was certainly a better deal at less than 1/3 of the price of the american, so I bought that and played it for years.

Indeed - almost like that is what novel means I wasn't arguing on definitions, just what that website was saying, which was stretching definitions to make their point. Indeed I sat a mensa test and got in (nothing like 162 thought) - that was in my 20s, I doubt I would get closer to my older score now, I feel thicker than I used to be. To be honest if someone has an IQ of 162 I would be surprised that they can cope in modern society, he would certainly need some help. High intelegence isn't a help in society, actually quite a frustration because most of our systems dont require and actively work against it. The average intellegence in prison is higher than in general society, and it should never be confused with what people call 'common sense' (which generally has the emphasis on the common). Wisdom helps to tame that. As I said, I doubt my intelegence is anything like it was at 20 but because my wisdom is higher and my patience is higher, I am actaully better at my job now, even if it takes longer to work things out.

Its not possible to change program, no, the yes you quoted was an answer to "Could that be done using MIDI program changes or controlled via running the project itself?" where that was a quote to muting and unmuting several bass tracks.

The ability and speed of solving a completely novel problem

What an odd article - it clearly states what is commonly known but rephrases what it means: The study challenges that belief, showing that while we may think slower with age, we also think deeper, wiser, and more compassionately. 'we think slower with age' - yes, i.e. actual intelligence goes down, "we also think deeper, wiser, and more compassionately." - yes, wisdom and experience go up.

Yes

I haven't used it as an effect but I have recorded the bass with it and then added the effects. Mine is for use live for complex samples and sounds - I have an MPX that can play samples, but it is litterally just a sample playback tool, and when I wanted to play the same sound but longer or shorter or with a different velocity (ie, keyboard stuff), i went for the MPC, especially with the multisampling where you can have the same sample at different velocities, so on the MPX you can play back the same sample at a lower volume when you hit the pad softer, but on the MPC you can play a different softer hit sample and it makes quite a difference. And the MPC can play back sequences on a pad too

Well, marketing is how you sell something, not necessarily how someone uses something - if you found the old ones made good drum machines, you will find that the new ones also still work as very good drum machines. Yes, they do more, but they don't have to if that is what your job is.
