Rharv,

I'm in Hospice Care not expected to live much longer.

My wife of 60 years just suffered her 15th stroke and her digestive system has shut down so her days/hours are numbered.

I can't imagine life without her.

I'm very sorry to hear about your wife.
At this particular point in time I understand more than ever.
But as far as you go; hang in there.

I have a mother-in-law that has been in hospice longer than you.
Hopefully humorous, but true. (your sense of humor is always admired here)

I know you've had a hard row to hoe.
Wishing the best

Best wishes Donny for how ever much time is left. I feel the same way about my wife. Life is short and everyday is a gift.

All the best,

Don, my old pal, there are no words which can adequately express the sadness I feel at this news.

I will simply think about the good times we've had, the collaborations, the jokes and the fun.

You will always be an inspiration to me, my friend.

ROG.

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track.
