>Destination = input
Yah, i got that part, but I think the install STILL didn't go
correctly.. I can't find some of the modules (Mixer, THAT one
would be nice, if one of my main missions is to sum with this
thing! lol)

I'll take you up on that later... right now my brain is melting.
NeilThis will provide little solace at this point, but 'counter-intuitive' at
first blush often becomes 'very powerful' at later date. This isn't a particularly
'Paris-like' attitude, as it was designed from the ground up to have a gentle
learning curve to anyone familiar with a mixing desk and tape.
It's a little like Notepad vs. Emacs. Anyone who has ever used a typewriter
can create and print a grocery list with Notepad. But that's pretty much
all it's good for. It won't let you insert a chart, change much in the way
of colors, auto-indent lists, do any real print formatting, and it certainly
won't automatically color code xml, run perl scripts in a shell, keep track
of how many curly braces you have open, or replace every 'MakeRegexLater'
with '/^[0-9][a-Z]{5,36}.$/'
This might seem pointless, and I can hear you screaming that you just want
to make a grocery list, but I distinctly remember thinking the SCOPE environment
qualified to be described as 'tricky to learn but easy to use once it's learned'
instead of just 'hard to use.' Also, it was designed by Germans.
So give it a little time, and be glad you don't have to learn Emacs,

My current car is a BMW, my last one was a Mercedes... I just
want to drive them well, I don't want to learn how to build
them.
Likewise, I don't want to feel like I have to become a fargin'
computer programmer just to use this bitch.
It's got until the weekend to:
1.) Get me a fucking authorization code that will let me log in
& download the key code file (i'm pretty sure I'm missing some
modules, because I was having to guess at what some of the
subapplications were, since the nomenclature is different from
the documentation to the software).
2.) Reinstall fully & correctly once I have that & be able to
route between SX & Pulsar without a hitch.
3.) Work flawlessy & glitchlessly with my RME cards active at
the same time for tracking needs... this was GOING to be an
option that I was willing to find a workaround for, but since
it's now pissed me off from the get-go, it's an option no
longer... it's a mandate.
If it doesn't do all this by that time, it's going back. I have
no fucking sense of humor for expensive esoteric shit that
doesn't make my life easier & allow me to be more musically
productive. If I wanted to be Rube Fucking Goldberg about this
shit, I may as well start building my own discrete console from
scratch.
Had it.

NO! Nothing yet! So, I guess I just sit & wait until I get this
now & try a re-install.

Scope is very to use once you get a little time on it. Neil doesnt seem
to have much patience at this point though."Jesse Skeens" <jskeens@gmail.com> wrote:

You're right, I don't... BTW, it's now about twelve hours from
when I first sent the e-mails requesting the login info....
and...
....you guessed it, still no response.
BTW, Thad, another example of German-engineered product that
doesn't take a degree in quantum physics to operate is
CubaseSX... everyone said that had a steep learning curve, but
I didn't have any problems getting that app configured &
operating it fro the get-go. This thing is like some
bizzarre "M.-Night-Shamalyan-meets-the-DaVinci-Code" version of
a music application.
NeilI'm thinking it's almost break time over in there neck of the planet...maybe
your email had to go through translation..I know that'll hold things up here
in Canada
;-)

So you think it went to Canada, not Germany? Shit, then I
should've included a few "eh's", and "hosers" in there & they
would've known what I was talking about?
:DAnyone heard the beautiful song? The vocal is really haunting of Karen Carpenter
and Shania Twain all in one. Really nice !!Dj, if I recall you know Ed S?
