That was a test after last months fun and games 😉 I was probably looking at last years calendar , I do hate throwing things away 😂 yes though, as @Dad3353 suggests, we will run with 24th 👍

Oh man , I’m way off retirement, but still seem to have my dates and days in a mess 😂

As a complete contrast , the izotope and eventide products installed as sweet as a nut , not that quick to actually do it all , but much less of a faff. this might be that I got into the swing of it , or more like the instructions actually worked . game on now, on the super fast new toy 👍

way hay , a great chance of mine sounded alright then Dad , you'll be a fan soon , I'll send a signed photo When I have found out how to transfer some more FX onto my new machine, I'll run this ERA one over it as well

Weighed in , weighed in ...waves products are now loaded and working on the new machine . That was hard work but I am a novice at this stuff , and hopefully will last another 10 years or so before I have to do it again ! now for the izotope, kontact, and all the other bits and pieces of random software that I occasionally use 😂

I've kept this one light of FX to ease the load on my machine before the plunge into the new one goes past the point of no return A few observations put together in an oddish sort of time , reflections of simpler things maybe

I’ve got the old machine back up , by the same process I might get the new one running with any luck. download the offline ‘downloaded’ and install each vst ...individually 🤦‍♂️ ed to add entry now rendered 😂

I don’t feel so bad now having read that the brand is a proper pain in the arris ! the b1tch is that they were pretty much my go to FX and splashed all over this months entry , which I haven’t rendered to wav yet. now I know that the tutorials are utter bollox and I might have lost them , I will try some random approaches and see what happens. If I have less expectation, the disappointment and anger will probably be tamed a touch !

All went well .... reaper ✅ focusrite✅ ASIO✅ Waves plugins ...oh bollocks , checked all the tutorials and it seems so straightforward except non of it is doing what it should and now I can’t access the licenses or plug ins on either machine totally racked off , 4 hrs and I just want to through the f**king lot away rant will continue at some point when I can face trying again

ooh mine is 6Gb and I am upgrading to 32 with a 2TB SSD it might not improve my singing , but hey , who knows 🤷‍♂️ 🎤🎤🎤

I know , but I am at the point that the pain of using the current machine is draining the enjoyment, so I reckon the pain of setting up a new machine will put it all right again soon 😁

Watching with interest , but mine tended to glitch when random windows processes fired up , annoyed me intensely , I am using the month to set up a new machine 😁

I pulled the trigger in that new computer but.... on the model I got , there was no controls for screen brightness and contrast etc and with the screen so big I couldn’t handle it . so that’s gone back. they have however offered to replace it with a higher spec with a silent fan , and 1TB SSD , so I hoping to be relatively future proof in a wee while . I am therefore trying to keep it very simple this month 😁

OK all , we are good to go, the March challenge is up and ready

Congratulations to @skankdelvar who is finding his groove with aplomb and showing the way The image he has chosen for the March challenge is very much on topic as he explains... "The pic for March is daffodils. For me, they signal the imminence of Spring but daffodils could mean anything to anyone." Simple rules ✔️ Entries must be <5 minutes and recorded this month. ✖️ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on ✖️ No Bagpipes. please no bagpipes, the Pre-pancake day truce now Expired. panpipes only if you have too. ✖️ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you. A line or two offering an insight to your inspiration/track choice will be good as well , it works nicely on the voting thread. The Deadline for entries is Midnight on Tuesday 24th March

A brilliant entry sir , fnarr fnarr. congrats indeed , I’m looking forward to see what you choose to inspire us with already 😁

copied wrong mostly

Ah yes , you can't get the staff , what an oversight , probably a bit late as you say, though all the protagonists have been tagged in. Normal service will be resumed ...etc etc.. Must say though, that picking 3 votes from that selection was very difficult , should I say , narrowing it down to just 3 was the difficult bit

even then I guess it was a brand new one in its wrapper 😁

So this has no intrinsic value then , it’s just some chancers trying it on ....or even the band themselves 😂

I realise that some classic vinyl and I suppose some rarer CDs have a collector value, but I stumbled across one the other day that seems very odd , mainly because I have this CD! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Who-We-Are-Vega/dp/B01MQ1XQKF now it’s not that I am desperate to cash in on this, it’s just seems odd that a CD I bought off the merch table at their gig would be capable of fetching that sort of money, actually it seems totally bizarre. Any ideas about this?

I've no idea what this means

The posting Time stamps show that I beat you by 24minutes I have added 2 further entries, but luckily today I am having a day off to play lego, star wars and pokemon and lots of others childish activities that I can legitimately blame on grandlittlelurks! If not it would have been tonight before I could get to edit the poll and it could get messy by then. I won't get strict on this as it is for fun and it is a rarity , but you know the score

I think that was my question , where’s your song 😁 There was a deadline but I’ll try to edit the poll in the morning 👍
