thanks mac as usual you're right on
even though i suffer from IGS, instant gratification syndrome, i read you and having spent 25+ years in the network admin and programming business i recognize the parallels
in programming for example if you want to write code that gets the job done you must learn the language and what it has to offer in the way of functions & features in addition to the ability to express the task using a tool like a flow chart, somebody else's well written code has always been a helpful learning tool for me
suggestions of well crafted midi files, and the techniques they demonstrate, are welcome
programming skills didn't come overnight this won't either
in retirement as i am trying to transfer what's in my head to the the daw i am finding out how limited my musical & midi compositional knowledge is
a bit frustrating but i've been here before
thanks again
