plus the taste and smell of sausages and hot coffee and being one with nature!!!
And at one with the waitress, the ski-lift, the industrial maintenance, the plane that got you there, the thousand dollars worth you need to do it with (cheaply), the standby snow machines, the snow sweepers, the rescue teams, avalanche monitors, the garbage men and the pre-pack log cabin.
But I do quite like sliding down a hill.
Iāve gone quite light in the wallet with the excitement of it all.
I havenāt been here in many months simply because these forums have been a little dull and Iāve been busy with life. Most of my forum browsing / posting has been over a Gearslutz lately.
Once you stop looking at a forum for a while, you quickly feel disconnected from it. That being said, I do enjoy checking out the cubase forums every now and again.

P.S. - I used to post more because I had to explain the proper method of setting up a dual boot computer after Bryce got them all confused and into buying bootloaders they didnāt need. Just kidding Paul!
Seriously - You could have sold tickets to their threads.
Couple of beers, big tub of popcorn, and settle down and watch the flames. Was the best spectator sport on the net for a while.
Sigh, you canāt even have a mildly amusing thread anymore. Someone will come along and delete it.
Look, just be explicitā¦ Like this
MUSIC LOUNGE
General discussions on songwriting, mixing, music business and other music related topics. Please note: Humour is strongly discouraged here and will be subject to summary deletion of thread. You are not here to have fun. You are here to engage in serious discourse about songwriting, mixing, music business and other music related topics. Also dumping ground for feature requests that we donāt want to see polluting the product fora.
Similarly - That Gm Chord at the start of Shine on You Crazy Diamond - Should that be 30 bars or 32 bars long? And if I donāt have access to a Solina String Synth, can I use 6 people playing Polynesian Nose Flutes instead?
30 bars or 32 bars? Thatās a tough one. You could split the difference and play 31 bars. Even better, play the 31 bar intro twice ā¦ to build the suspense.
In the absence of a Solina String Synth, you could have the percussionist play that part on a conunDRUM. Drummers are well accustomed to playing more than one thing at a time without thinking about it.
I am sitting in a hotel room on the 13th floor looking across the nighttime London skyline. I have a view from the Telecom Tower to the London Eye, with tower blocks of The City in the middle and Canary Wharf in the far distance, the almost completed Shard tower towers above pretty much everything. The inky blackness of Hyde Park is right below me.
It is all, I think, quite magical.
Just thought Iād share that. Sometimes we just let stuff like this just pass by unnoticed.
