I am sure that somewhere between all of this lies the truth. Mr. Becker as Rharv says is frustrated, but for sure his methods lack the attitude that makes most want to help. I have seen many folks like him over the years on forums like this, come in and stir up things. Some were just not teachable, others actually slowly began to learn. Hopefully for Mr. Becker, and those who chose to help him he is the later.

The problem today is that people get something like this and can't make it function, and then freak out and blame everyone but themselves. I remember that earlier conversation clearly, when you have a power surge damaged board, and still assume that the software program is at fault, you are just simply wasting folks time, as well as your own. It is neither reasonable, not logical.

I remember when i first started years ago with cakewalk MC 1.0 i had an old shaky computer that was barely able to hold it together just to do word processing, let along audio recording. I was stopped at every turn. I had to slow down and realize that i needed to get my system healthy before i could really get my DAW setup working. I did not blame the software, nor fight with those who tried to help.

Still if Mr. Becker asks detailed and respectful questions, i think those that have the time and energy to help should, at least until it becomes obvious that he does not really want help, but just to whine.

Mr. Becker, Ron if I may, if you are sincere, and really want help. Please ask for it, but in a way that does not make people want to ignore you. Here are a few ground rules that will help get you where you say you want to go.

1. Don't bash the software, even if it seems to be the problem, because the very folks trying to help love it and it works great for them.

2. Ask detailed a specific questions. let us know what you have tried so far, and what does not work quickly and to the point don't ramble for ever until the main point is lost in the woods.

3. When answers are give follow up on them, and give detailed feedback, as to exactly what you did, and the results. Don't just say i tried that and it still does not work. tell us how you tried it.

4. Lastly if nothing works still, don't assume it is the software, since literally thousands use it and with a high degree of success. If the forums were literally covered in complaints about the software not working, that might work, but by far the majority have no problems. So assume it is some issue in your system. Remember that the one variable in all this is our systems. The program is the same for each, the systems are all different. One program that works for you might not work well for me, and vice versa.
