Dom in Dorset

We had to delay our set at a village fete because the puppet show overran. "I told them a thousand times- it's Spinal Tapp first , puppet show last "

No, the denim was really faded, white in place but the resin seemed to almost completely restore the dark blue colour.

Progress...I'm onto set up. the denim is visible again one slight snag, I'd forgotten thatvthe truss rod access was covered over with resin. I filled it with blu tac so it's just a matter of careful excavation and I should have her playable very soon.

I haven't had the time to try again since my last post. Maybe I'll download the drivers etc again this afternoon and try Reaper.

Nothing but I haven't been able to do anything yet .

I'm really grateful for everyone's help here. I only intend to do this for my own amusement, demos , silly ideas , possible backing tracks.

In many ways you are correct. I had spent another frustrating afternoon achieved nothing and needed to vent. My frustrations arise from the fact that the marketing implies that you'll be recording in minutes which I have found to be completely untrue. To compare my experience of digital recording with learning to play bass I haven't even managed to get it out of the case yet. I will respond to some of your questions when I've had a chance to try again. I had forgotten that we got a new computer and so yesterday's troubles were down to not having appropriate drivers / focusrite account etc. Once I have those I'll be back to square one or maybe two.

Smite the cowering kushites with a rod of iron ?

Yes and yes

Sorry for my sum what negative tone nut I have never spent so much time and money on something over the years and yet got absolutely nowhere, achieved nothing. To continue with the car analogy I haven't even got the door open .

Good point, I am using a new computer since my last attempt so I will need to go through that again so I can concentrate on the brick wall of DAW whatever that is.

So what your saying is basically I am grateful for your help but my problem is on a more fundamental level. Imagine giving a set of car keys to someone from an uncontacted amazon tribe who's never seen a car before and telling them to depress the clutch and put it into first.

I need to wait until I have another afternoon that I'm prepared to waste before trying again. This might be some time. Previous attempts have stalled at 5

I've got that far.
