Yeah... I don't have the patience to download it all. Besides, this way I can sit around and grouse at UPS!
I'll install the whole schlamozzle on the DAW box and stash the USB drive for a backup. I;m looking forward to re-doing some shi%$y BIAB tunes I have on hard disk with RealBand. I don't think the tunes are that bad... they just don't sound "real" enough with the Roland VSC synth and such...

Only problem I see for me personally with BIB and RealBand is it sounds too good. I will have to be selective in it’s use; create choruses etc and burn different parts to import individual instruments into my own set of tracks. I personally don’t like perfectly in tune and in time songs. Character is important to me, being an old character my own se’f.
Make sure you explore the “Embellish” options. And remember, you can insert tempo changes anywhere and everywhere if you want. Changing tempo a few BPM here and there can add a bit of realism.

I like to embellish. There’s was this one time when me and ‘Sawmill Red’ was up on the Saragosa in mid winter it was, with nothin’ but our meager provisions of hard tack and buffalo jerky and melted snow…
I hope this is not a “Broke back Moutain” story?

I'm bored with all this chat about the Wii and Band in a Box. :-)
Can we talk about my gift now? My guitar lead.
It's black!
lol - I’ve never been so kindly told to shut up. Having heard you on video I’m tickled!
I think it’s another language thing here. What’s a black guitar lead? A Jimi Hendrix sample?

I'm just playing with you....
But now I'm not sure if you're playing with me..... "Jimi Hendrix lead".
All I know is that my lead is made from black coloured cable and has shiny shiny silver jack plugs. One on each end!
Ahhh… kerchingg.
UK: "lead"
US: “cable”.
Let’s start again.
I got a black guitar cable for Christmas. 
Ah the old language barrier again. Following your thread about Rossi & Parfitt, I got into a conversation with a friend of mine in Dubai who I took to see Status Quo a couple of years ago.
The problem is he will insist on calling them ‘Status Quo’. I told him, it’s not ‘Status Quo’ it’s ‘Status Quo’. If you go into a music shop in the UK and ask for ‘Status Quo’ they won’t understand you. You have to ask for ‘Status Quo’ not ‘Status Quo’…it’s very clear!
I mean you wouldn’t ask for a Tomato when you meant a Tomato…would you?
Leads Cords ? ? ?
Valves Tubes ? ? ?
Stat Us Quo State Us Quo
Tomat Toe Tomate Toe ? ? ?
Short Old Fart Tommy Willis ? ? ?
Zay Yaz ? ? ?
English sure is confusing.

I thought Mark had taken up “Black Metal” guitar music…

The English language IS a lot of fun no?
I’m always harassing my youngest with stuff like;
“Hey if ‘tough’ is pronounced ‘tuff’… how come ‘doughnuts’ aren’t ‘duffnuts’?” LOL…
Then of course there’s my boss who was born and raised in Spain. He speaks what I call “Spanglish”…

How long is your lead you got for Christmas? or to put it another way - how long is your lead you got for Christmas?
I say tomato, not tomato.
