fiddle faddle

Post 81 of 90.

I got home late and spent the little time I had fiddling with the Strike plug-in in ProTools. I think I've figured out how to step program and how the variety of snare rolls and hi-hat sounds are programmed.

This should be fun!

I think I'm ready to begin programming my own style templates. I just wish there was some way to open Strike as a standalone program so I could spend some time programming a wide variety of beats and patterns without having to have a song template open in ProTools (in large part because of the processing load and the tendency of the program to crash). With Guitar Rig 2, I've enjoyed being able to open it up as a standalone and spend some with the electric guitar doing some sound design.

OS X has been crashing a lot lately! It seems to be happening mainly when either streaming video or opening the visualizer in iTunes. It seems to get caught in a stuttering loop and everything locks up, followed by a "screen of death" telling me to reboot.

This never used to happen.
