Firstly, Thanks Gareth, for giving me hope that i'll be able to use LAMG with my Lombard with the VXPocket! Also, thanks Yooshi for the "there are no rules" phrase, one which I believe with my whole heart. Thanks Mat for defending 'bad' sound, which I often use myself (I like to record the SCSI bus noise that shows up on the outputs of my external CDRW and use that in music, I also like the noise left on the drive when you don't zero the audio file before recording in it, etc.) ... Another Q: As a way of re-aquainting myself with LAM, I want to use it today to record some vocals. I've got a SDII interleaved stereo mix file from Deck that I want to play as a ref, so Jennifer can, like, hear the song as she's doing her magic :-), I brought that into LAM by adding it to the Audio window thingy. Unlike 2.6.6, it didn't insist on splitting the mix into .L and .R files, which I just thought was the coolest. However, after dragging the audio to a CBX track and playing, it only plays in mono, though the arrange window shows the little vu-thingies bouncing for left _and_ right. Mr. CBX only shows lights on the unit for left, though. After looking in the manual, I tried a few things, none of which seemed to work. So, do I need to turn the "Always Split Funky Interleaved Files to Funky L and Funky R" preference on? If I don't need to i'd rather not (16G of disk still isn't enough), but if I do, I will. Info: LAM G 4.0 with CBX-D5, on a 6100/60, 72M RAM, Sonnet 225MHz G3, running System 7.6.1 (hey, it uses _so_ much less RAM than 8.6, and it still works) ...
