Fran, I am doing relatively well given what I had to deal with in the last 5 or so years:
My wife passed away
My dog passed away
I had my hips replaced
You never get used to this but I think eventually I will accept this to as part of life!!!
I have fairly robust computers (General Purpose and a Music Computer). So I can put a great deal of stress on them and still don't notice any lags or latency of any kind. Both machines are powerful enough that I can set the latency at the lowest levels available in the software (ASIO, forte and so on). Bandstands takes a little longer to set up then Halion Sonic but they are up and running there are no delays with instrument changes. Also Halion is a 13 GB wavetable compared to Bandstand at around 2 or 3 GBs.
Fran thanks for checking in on me.
