Just a make-shift vocal booth and a guitar away from recording and mixing, then an iZotope away from polishing the resultant turds. I'm frankly fed up with it all, but I figure gettin' back into the synths and trying to work a little more on the MIDI side of things, cookin' up songs to the point that they're ready for guitar, bass and vox, will be an important catalyst to the Monkster's imminent return to gettin' lost in it all again. I envy (too strong a word, as I don't feel this "emotion" or anger for that matter) those who can compartmentalise and prioritise sufficiently well to somehow make it happen. Heck, there's more than enough going on in it to make avoiding distraction almost impossible for me. Therein lies the problem for me, hence my decision to not leap head-first into the virtual synth world. These days, it attampts to be all those things rolled into one, meaning that by definition it's necessary to spend a whole lot more time focussed on this one device. Sure, it did more than the other stuff, but its primary function was to work with it (the other stuff), and therefore it was really just a tool that was part of the "networked" system. It was truly what we want them to be now - a music-makin' machine, just like all the other gear. I know I'm not the only one who feels he was waaay more productive when the 'puter didn't provide a gateway to the internet and all its distractions, and virtually harbour every major diversion available to mankind within it. The thing I miss most, and by light years, mind you, is simply being so much more able to get things done. You can do MORE now so, there is more risk, more technology.Ĭompared to what could be done in a little room with analog, the current generation really is able to reach outer space. When one could only fly an airplane, there was a certain experience available with a certain amount of risk and technology involved.Then came space flight=more risk, more technology. Any ideas? I'm not a hater of the iLok licensing system, but given a bit more time and frustration, I could learn.Toodamnhip wrote:Reading your post made me think of the subject of flight. The Task Manager doesn't show the program as unresponsive or anything. It has been running for over a half hour and the status bar hasn't moved from about the 25% mark. I've always just been the type of person to be thrilled that everything works everytime the computer starts. Now let me say up front I've never really understood really how iLoks work. I followed the installation video instructions but that doesn't work because in the instructions, when it tells me to hover my mouse over a new library in the installation center and to click on the gear, there is no gear there.Īfter reading some support info on sondsonline, I decided to synchronize my iLoks. I transferred the files over to my SSD last night and was trying to get things going with it this morning. So I received my upgrade from EW Hollywood Gold to Diamond on a hard drive.
