So maybe it's not the computers. Maybe it's me. I've spent hours upon hours and days upon days (NOT exaggerating) to trying and properly install my music software, update the firmware, do my windows updates and locate and download drivers etc. I have used system restore no less than 6 times in the process and I've uninstalled and reinstalled Protools too many times to remember. Hmm... What does this reveal about my knack with computers? Oh boy.
Either I'm going to become a computer genius through the school of hard knocks OR this is cruel and unusual punishment. I have literally spent days down here in the bat cave trying to get everything up and running--to no avail. The fun thing is that I really am peaceful about all of it. I'm just tired. I'm trying to glean from the process and learn, but there's something about my right-brained, I-don't-want-to-read-through-to-the-end-of-any-instructions self that doesn't mind just punching buttons and experimenting until things are in a REALLY BIG tangled mess. Why do I do this?
I will say that the room is looking nice. That's not much consolation though, considering the fact that the computer, the Protools software, hardware and the audio monitors aren't working. But, at least it's pretty in here now.
I picked up a new firewire cable today to see if that would help. No luck. I can't update the firmware on the 003 rack and my sessions keep "underflowing" even when I reduce the H/W buffer size. I'm not technically-inclined. I'm actually extremely techno-tarded so, this is getting quite comical.
Jesus, I really think I'm more patient now. Can you please zap the studio and make it work? Please???
