Chicken soup and playtime
I felt a little betrayed when syntrillium software notified me that they had sold Cool Edit 2000 to Adobe the last time I checked for an update. When you invest a lot of time, in this case many years, in a particular learning curve the last thing you want is a curve ball. Sure, I could upgrade to Audition, but I feared that I would get something unfamiliar. Today, I checked out the syntrillium site again and there were assurances there that everything would be the same. I upgraded immediately. It is pretty much the same, but now I have multitrack capability and that means I’ll be playing with this software a lot. In the darkest corner of my soul, I am Gerald McBoing-Boing. I’d as soon play with sounds as food and sounds don’t make you fat.
I’m making chicken soup tonight. Feelin’ fine, but it seemed to be the right food. Boiled three drumsticks in a can of broth, cut ‘em up, and threw in some frozen vegetables to finish. Simple and perfect for the night.
My mouse has been acting up ever since I messed around with the Windows startup on Saturday. Attempting to capture video, was dropping about 10% of the frames. After I re-enabled the startup files (using MSCONFIG) the mouse was erratic. Tonight, I went to the Microsoft site and reinstalled the drivers. Presto! Mouse good now. I hate to do tech support after I get home, boy, am I glad that was easy. Now I can play with sounds, like overlaying a Doppler effect on a familiar track – something that wasn’t there in Cool Edit 2000.
