Lots of good stuff here, isn’t there. But how to find it all when you need it?
Obviously only some of the tips, advice, recommendations etc. are useful to each forum member depending on his(her) aims, choice of music, equipment etc, level of knowledge and so forth.

What I do when there is a pearl of wisdom I wish to keep (and most of start with those 3 letters ‘m’, ‘a’, ‘c’…) is to copy/paste it into a word document (call it ‘tips’ ‘pgforumtips’, whatever) and you can nearly always call up the tip you’re looking for with a ‘search for’ within the document.
Don’t think yeah well I’ll remember this one when I need it. Chances are you won’t.

Great idea, Marc

How big is your file? Maybe we should designate you 'Keeper Of The Tips' and ask if you can post your knowledge database somewhere (other than in Mac's head) where we can all access it?

Something I have found useful in the past is Studio Buddy.

Maybe we could have a Mac Buddy / PG Buddy? Well, we already do!

But I'm sure Mac would rather only have to say something once...

Studio Buddy is great (or perhaps I should say "was" as I've just tried to install it on this laptop and something has gone wrong - it used to reside in the computer but now it seems to need to access the internet? Probably something I've done wrong) for all sorts of tips.

Hi Sam
I've heard about Studio Buddy - they even sent it to me once, but I've never got round to installing it!!
The point about the tip selection is that it's quite a personal thing
User 1 may have bought his first PC last month and his very first keyboard last week and think that midi is what happens in France between 11 am and 1 pm.
User 2 may have a server farm in his garage and a different softsynth for each of the keys on his brand new state-of-the-art Korg workstation
User 3 may only use PGM programmes to make very rough backdrops for him to practice whistling to, while
User 4 only remixes files that other people have made

See what I'm getting at. What they all define as "useful" will, legitimately, be very different and this will be reflected in the contents of his (her) top tips file

That said, I am of course very happy to share my tips file with you but it's a real mess with PGM apps tips, Juno-D tips, Optimise your PC as DAW, links to dead sites, links to live sites....

Just send me a PM...
