Hey Ibanez.You got a guitar midi controller?Mewman and Paults (not seen him online for a while) recommended one, so I gave it a try.I got the Axon AX50, and, as a guitarist, find it much easier to use than a keyboard, especially on strings.Hope to get some recording done on Tuesday, after the kids go back to school. Will be trying the new 012 mic too.Cheers,Dave.

Yeah, I've got a guitar synth. A Roland GT-30 is it? I don't use it much though. Don't you try & change the subject young man!! I'm on to ya'!

Damn it Dave! Now ya' tell me. I knew you were up ta' somethin' when you suggested listening to that a 2nd time, I just wasn't sure where you were goin' with it! Why the hell do they have that thing louder than everything else? I guess it's like what Deep Purple's singer (Ian Gillan) says right before they jump into "The Mule" on the "Made In Japan" album: "Yeah...we want everything LOUDER than everything else..." That's my favorite tune off of that album BTW. I-468

Ibanez. I just remembered.Two points with Colossus:After using a Colossus sample in a mix; everytime I openthat session in Sonar, I get the error: "Physical memory is getting low! Loading more samples might cause problems. Really proceed loading?"I've 3 gig ram.It does proceed to load fine, but I've never found an answer to the problem.Doing some searching on Google, I found lots of people got the same message.It only happens with Colossus.Also, there were some samples, such as the Steinway piano that just would not open.I had to download a DFD extension from the Native instruments site which cured it.You might not have these problems, but just so you know.Dave.

Hey Dave,Yeah, thanks for lookin' out! I did download and run the DFD extension prior to loading up Colossus, so I haven't had any problems with it, yet! I do get those messages when loading EWQL Silver or Gold though, especially loading up a piano, and it proceeds and seems ta' be O.K. afterwards. So, I don't know what's up with that, but as long as it does what it's suppose to, I guess I can live with it.I-468

Hey All,I really wanted Colossus, but I found the Native Instruments Komplete 5 + Kore 2 special and couldn't resist, so I bought that. It should be arriving soon, so then maybe we could compare notes etc?
