John Conley so sorry to hear of your health situation mate..sincerely. i pray for your good health to return.
to all.... frankly i can only speak of the uk and canada that i know very well. haveing lived in each for many years. and frankly i feel for obama in the usa..cos i was hoping with his background social aspects would be addressed. i said to my wife when he was elected that i really hoped he could address important strategic issuess, but i also said if he didnt his rateings would drop. which i understand from media reports here,sadly this has occurred.
generally i feel these poor economic times for many people are not going to end soon. and thus interest rates will stay low. cos too many people are scared to spend lest they too loose their jobs.
pat marr asked..what is the solution ?? the answer to my mind is western govts have got to get off their backsides and implement a top to bottom re industrialisation strategy. lets look at two cases. england and canada. in englands case the manufacturing rot set in decades back. i can remember for example when i was a young physics student in uk... brilliant minds spending too much time analyseing the internals of the atom , rather than researching new advanced products to sell to the world and manufacture. how england soaks up unemployment is to create more govt pencil pusher jobs. same here in canada. we have a big network of universities and research places , but they are often focussed on "pure research" rather than building for example the next great computer tech to export to the rest of the world and manufacture. so in summary both england and canada produce thousands of well educated grads, but many waste their education working in low level jobs cos the advanced manufacturing industry dont exist to employ them. its been in all the papers here...many phd's driving taxis for example.
let me make an analogy n see if it makes sense. if i keep on coming to your house and selling you "stuff".. n "gadgets" pretty soon your gonna be bankrupt arent you ?? in essence this is what the govts of canada and uk have allowed to occur (and i suspect usa too.) for years and years thanks to the free world trade policies, which have flooded uk and canada and usa markets with imports. as a result i'm reading in the papers today that the province of ontario is gonna be in the red for many years to come. no wonder..govt is a big buyer of imported computers n hi tech gear. if you ever go into govt offices in ottawa , the capital, youll see all imported puter gear. same in uk. all govt offices are useing imported puter gear in london. and i suspect the same in washington. (remember when i said up post if i keep on coming to your house and selling "stuff" to you..??) in canadas' case we have i believe an accumulated deficit of 600 billion. in the early 70's canada had no deficit i understand, or a small one. what event caused such a build up of deficits ?? yup..the house example. in the intervening decades since the early 70's canada (and uk) imported oodles of puter gear. oodles of cash were sent abroad.. now the bills are coming due. if , instead , the uk and canada had have developed its own advanced puter industry billions would not have left both countries, and jobs would have created at home. it all comes back to lack of manufacturing strategy imho. and letting the world free traders have their way policy wise. the sad fact is both the uk and canada have been led for years by people with no vision when it comes to manufacturing and job creation. aided by myopic central bankers who were too focused on price controls etc etc. i raised sternly all these issues with a senior mandarin at the bank of canada years n years ago, because i felt at the time some of the problems we are seeing today would occur. being an economist , he failed to grasp the various nuances. as i said..people in charge with no vision imho.
so whats the solution ?? answer...rapid strategic new manufacturing advanced industries imho. but it aint gonna happen cos the people in charge dont se it as important. i hope i make some sense. as i once said to a senior mandarin... "where the heck are future generations of young canadians gonna work if all manufacturing has been off shored".
retired puter engr....powertracks on amd......NICE ! "what is the black art of audio engineering ?" my silly songs...motagator.com/bmanning see my tips in the tips section.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
