I apologize again.

Kind Regards,

Claudiu

Claudiu, what are you doing? Don't follow what others have done..

Stick around and learn from old men..

Fran..that's what i'm trying to do but read my last post " A simple question! "... I was trying to get an answer...and they all started a mess....it's just 2 songs..and a question...what have i done that wrong... ?

" Hi there, Claudiu,
I think people on this forum don't really appreciate this music, maybe that's why people aren't responding. Try this forum: http://www.musicplayer.com/cgi-bin/ultim...t=0;DaysPrune=0

They are more likely to respond. "

I don't really care what other people think about this genre....i was asking a question..
and they are asking me to go to another forum..

Hi Claudiu,

I for one think your post are kind of neat. I have followed them all or nearly all. I think it is fascinating that the internet makes it possible to make contact with people everywhere and all over the world. I also am intriqued by different peoples use of language and the skill so many have in other languages that may not be in their own tongue.Anyway, please stick around.

Regards,

Danny

Hi Claudiu,
why are you thinking of leaving?
I think all that the guys were saying was, that there are other forums around , some maybe better suited to the modern type of "Dance " music of those demo's. Doesn't mean you have to leave this forum, just because we may not appreciate rap or hip hop or dance. I belong to 5 or 6 forums, this one deals with keyboards another one deals with music software, another deals with styles etc etc. Different forums for different questions.

best wishes

I'm not the rap/hip-hop kind of a guy. I've been playing the piano for 11 years now and i appreciate all the music in this world...and just because i posted those 2 dance songs people felt offended...i was looking for the answer Fran gave me...and they don't appreciate my willing + struggling to learn to work with my va76 which i'm so excited about.

Claudiu -

Stick around and keep working with that great VA76 board. I'd love to hear some of your own music one day

zuki

Claudio,Ilove your enthusiasm and your energy.The only way you will learn is to keep asking questions.You may not always get an awnser because sometimes the question may be misunderstood or others may not know either,but keep trying anyway.It is nice to hear from some one your age who actually admits to not knowing everything already.Terry

Hi Claudio,

I'm sorry if I offended you with my post. I wasn't trying to do that. I just noticed that you weren't getting responses, and you were wondering why, so I suggested that it was probaby because members of this forum don't really 'dig' that music.

I understand you appreciate all genres. Maybe it's worth using another forum for techno and electrinoca, and using this forum for more traditional genres. Just trying to help you out.

Respectfuly,

Zalmi

Claudio please dont go away. I enjoy reading your posts. Explore your va76 more..

Claudiu,
what people really meant when they said "check this other forum" was simply "check this other forum", and not "leave us alone" or "get outta here" or "oh shit, here he is again". I hope you understand that.

I also hope you understand that if you were "not welcome" in this forum, they simply wouldn't say "please don't leave", like they say above, they would remain in silence.

So there are enough people caring here to justify your stay here. And yes, there are other forums "specializing" in other music genres, and you are free to explore them, that doesn't mean you HAVE to leave here to do it. See Rikki's post above.

As for the "annoying" thing, I recently posted my PERSONAL opinion on how to write better, more articulated (is that the right word?) posts, because I believe they will yield better results. I recommended you to have patience, yet after 1 day, you say you are leaving because no one answered "a simple question". If I remember well you are very young? and if you are I understand that you wouldn't have that much patience. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to at least stay for a while, slow down a little and try what I proposed? If you like of course.

Hi claudiu
Don´t do that.

Hey, Claudiu,
don't leave. You are important part of the diversity of this forum because you are a representative of the Balkans, just like me(I live in Bulgaria).

George V

Claudiu,

I'm sorry to read that you feel unwanted on this forum. Please allow me to explain my own approach, which will hopefully allow you to see things from a different perspective...

I don't post very often; I only do so when I feel strongly about something, or think that I have useful knowledge to share.

In response to a question, I sometimes refer a member to a web page or another forum. My reason for doing that is to provide additional help, and never to say "Go away".

Although I'm in the "50+" age group, I'm not easily offended by "bad" language, and certainly nothing that I've read of yours has bothered me.

Obviously, I'm speaking for myself, and not other SZ members, although from reading the posts above, it seems many agree.

May I suggest that you give SZ another chance? Not that it's a good excuse, but all of us have a bad day sometimes, and things can be said (or misinterpreted) that aren't really meant.

Best of luck, whatever your decision.

..I believe that because i've got so many questions i might bother some people..because i post very quickly...and i write in my own posts several times...yesterday i went to bed with 100 questions unanswered and woke up today with 300 questions unanswered..and i log in, and post things that i want to know about and i don't get answers very quickly...i continue writing in my own post 2 or 3 times just because i can't wait ...sorry for that but i hope you understand that i've had my board for a short period of time and i really want to explore it....I'm thinking about staying..it's not that i felt offended that they sent me to another forum ...it's that i felt unwanted and i felt like i bothered them..but that's ok..i can go over that....I will stay and learn from old men ..thank you guys for being such caring and ( i can't find the word )...( more than friendly and curteous and respectuous )....

Respects,

Claudiu

Claudiu,

For my part, I¡¦ve never received anything other than helpful advice and encouragement on this forum. As someone said recently on here, the board has been going for so long that it has become more than just a talking shop/help desk for arranger boards. It has become a meeting place for old friends. Many seem to have made friends through the board long ago and there is a real sense of community here (for example; note the many well wishes for George).

I think that makes it even more remarkable that there is no cliquiness on the board and that the community is very inclusive. There¡¦s a real enthusiasm for helping out newbies to the point of being willing to answer the same old questions over and over again.

Like you, I get excited when buying new gear and eager to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can. The temptation is to take advantage (in the nicest sense of the word) of the goodwill on this board. Unfortunately, apart from the few lucky enough or talented enough to make music full time or those that are retired and enjoying a well earned rest (yeah right, meaning having to do all those jobs for the wife, you put off for all those years ƒº) the rest have full time jobs to do and can¡¦t be at our call 24/7.

I certainly don¡¦t play the type of music I suspect most on here do but that doesn¡¦t mean I can¡¦t learn anything. On the contrary, listening to other peoples¡¦ styles and opinions, especially when it comes from someone on a very different track from me, is probably the most rewarding.

Have patience my friend and you¡¦ll find this board to be one of the friendliest and most helpful on the net (and I¡¦ve tried a few).

Claudiu, I just realized that something I said could be misunderstood. What I meant to suggest by "I don't post very often; I only do so when I feel strongly about something, or think that I have useful knowledge to share." is that a lack of response to a post could just be because the person reading it doesn't have much to offer on the topic, and not that it's being ignored. I wouldn't want anyone to think I had meant that you or someone else should necessarily limit their own posts.

I'm glad to read that you're giving us another chance.

--Barry

Claudiu, i agree with everyone else, you already are a part of this site, i go to other sites as well as here,i have a psr 3000 and there are specialist sites that deal with my board,i can ask questions from others and get a rapid reply, bit this site here is better in that apart from friendship,here it covers much wider fields,it won,t be long before it will be YOU that is offering advice to others who have problems that YOU know the answers to, stick around,mike

claudiu,
I'm not going to say leave or stay. This is decision that's up to you. If you feel that you're bothering others with your questions I have to disagree.

That's what this forum is designed for. It's for arranger owners to talk, ask questions, share life experiences, and so on. I'd say that 90% of the time that's what happens here. We do get off topic from time to time though.

Another thing to take into consideration is the keyboards owned on this forum. Some models arent as great in numbers here. Example: If you have a question about a PSR-2000/3000, Tyros 1 or 2, and a Korg PA series you'll tend to get answers quickly. There are quite a few 3000 onwers and Tyros owners here. I and a just a few others have Casio WK-3500's. Several own Korg PA's, some Ketron SD's, and even a few GEM's.

I do remember the VA series being owned by several members. I just haven't seen many posts about it lately (until you joined the forum). Not to say it's not a good keyboard. The VA-76 is a very nice arranger. Thing is that there are probably just a select few that can answer your questions regarding this keyboard. Seriously.., ask a question about the PSR-3000 and see how my responses you get

Fran's a good source for your VA questions. There may be a few others as well. I rarely have posted a question about my Casio WK-3500. Like many I belong to several forums. My keyboard is rare on this forum. So many of my questions go to another Casio Forum for those answers.

You're not alone on the (genre) of music here. Myself I like to play some blues, some jazz, but I'm also very big into HipHop, R&B, and some Rap. I learned a long time ago that these styles aren't popular here. It's also understandable too.

I hate to see any forum member leave. I've been here for over 5 years now and things have gotten pretty heated lately, but the bottom line is we're all here for one reason. That's our love for music and arranger keyboards. At times that subject can get lost on this forum, but we eventually get back to it.

It's your choice to stay or leave. If you decide to leave I'd hate to see you leave with the feeling of being unwelcomed and unwanted here on this forum.

Claudiu, I just realized that there may be a very simple explanation as to why you aren't seeing some replies as quickly as you'd like; it's possibly due to the Earth's rotation .

Seriously, central Europe is 7 hours "ahead" of the US east coast, and it's 10 hours when compared to the US west. If you should post one of your questions when you first wake up, it could be 7-10 hours for those of us "over here" to see your message, even if we log onto SZ when we first get up.

I know that not all members are in the US, but maybe this accounts for some of the delayed response.

--Barry

Barry, Claudiu is in the US now..

LoL sqeak...Maybe you could help me with my Casio Wk-3500 because i own that, too ...but i have the same problem...i can't do anything with it...just play the piano...I decided to stay.

Regards, cla.

Welcome back then! Glad you made the right decision.

Hello ..thanks..( I'm thinking about a trance production software..the price doesn't matter ) ...I'm back with my wonders

Thanks Fran, sorry, didn't realize that; his profile shows an email address in Romania.

I think it's time for me to go back into hibernation .

--Barry

Claudiu,
Feel free to ask me any questions about the Casio WK-3500. You can either post here on the Zone or use my email address listed under my SynthZone profile.

Best Regards, (glad you're staying)
Squeak

Ok squeak...Got a lot of ques. about the Wk ..I'll write you an e-mail a.s.a.p...
Thank you..

Hi Cluadio, glad you're still here.

Re: Trance software. You'll love fruity loops: http://www.flstudio.com/

You can download a fully working version (just no save) before you buy here: http://www.tucows.com/get/209204_87241

Good luck, I loved using it.

FL is my favorite app for throwing patterns together. To me it's like the Motif ES' phrase factory on steroids. Orion is a worthy contender as well.

There are many different musical tastes here at this forum. I like the productions you did btw. You're music has a European techno / dance sound to it for my ears. While that isn't necessarily among my favorite genres, I do like some related themes including experimental genres.

Hello...What do you guys think about ACID Music Studio 5 and ACID Pro 5.0 and Sound Forge 8.0 ?
I bought them yesterday for like..500 $

Hi Cluadio. Don't know much about ACID. Did you have a chance try Fruity Loops yet? It's a great program!

Hi zalmi..are there like...Trance FL..Hip-hop FL...?or there's just one Fruity Loops..?

No, there is only one FL. You have to try it. Download it, I gave you the links above. All the best.

OOPS!hit the button,sorry.Sometimes I feel the same way when I post,Knowbody Answers ,in my mind because I think no one cares,or when they do answer,I go into a long answer or Question,so some people will remember,and say,"oh it's him again",our minds can play with us.I heard the music when you posted 1st,was good but not my type.It was pretty bad How someone told you good bye to you,I thought so,but I find sometimes you have to turn the other cheek,after correcting confronting the person.I'm sorry it went that way.Hope you stick it in there with us?I belong to other Keyboard sites forums,they are all great,sometimes I do feel like a family,because we have the same likeness in music.It's hard for me because all of my Friend,and Family here at home are Non- Musical,they don't care,and no support from the wife,because I want the latest in keyBoards,and the best $$$$.Don't we all?I feel for you.We always can forgive,yes, I know,butwe don't forget,so we have to let go of it,it's hard to.Take care
Ron

Okay....I don't know what to say...Zalmi...i checked it out..i like it..but i don't know...i have these 3 softwares i bought yesterday ( Acid Music Studio 5.0 - Acid Pro 5.0 and Sound Forge 8.0 ) all of them from sony..
