Hi Kevin (and all) 
Already played the guitar again (only few minutes the last three days - not longer, because my play doesn´t improve anyway).
Played around with Studio One a bit, but it´s not too much fun, because my MIDI keyboards are standing a bit far away from my pc monitor and my pc keyboard and then recording is not easy. In addition - wearing headphones all the time sucks.
I should attach pc speakers. Would have to buy some, but have no idea where to place them, because I haven´t got enough empty space.
I already connected an adapter audio cable that I just bought, to the speaker OUT of my Presonus USB audio box and then plugged the other end of the cable into AUX of my Cambridge Soundworks pc speakers. This leads to some strange noises in the speakers. (Not too bad, but irritating)
Either my speakers don´t seem to be well enough shielded against radio / mobilphone, etc. waves or the audio box is responsible.
Not knowing where to place new speakers and if the improve the situation, I´m hesitating to buy a pair of active speakers. In addition I would need one more empty 230V socket. Maybe I should dispose of my old speakers and buy a new 5.1 set, but the good ones give new problems, where to place a big subwoofer in my office. (My small Cambridge Soundworks subwoofers fit below my office desk - new subwoofers won´t.
Today I fiddled around with your (shelved) MoS. Can imagine, you want to leave it behind you for some time, because it reminds you of bad times and at the moment it´s better to soothe your mind with positive thoughts.
Maybe later I will create a MoS version with (light) compressor + my added beat of cymbal, anyhow. (Just, to store it for later times.)
I already uploaded here "MoS with compressor" and "MoS with Cymbal" before, as you know, but never both combined.
I perhaps maybe add some sounds from the new PresenceXT sampler or from the new MaiTai synthesizer to another recording. (in case I should get some idea).
MaiTai is not included in the free Version of Studio One, "Studio One Prime", but PresenceXT is. (Should you ever like to try.)
But of course I´m curious about
My last uploaded keyboard song in my post above was rather meant as a joke - just to show, how tired the 40+ °C made me. I wouldn´t have wanted to listen to music faster than that song during the hot days. LOL

Luckily since monday we´ve gone down to 21 °C at daytime and only ~16 °C at night. Just heard on the news: "Good news for all sun worshippers. Next week we´re going to see another heat wave."
I hate it.

Hope they´ll soon be able to get back to normal life. :thum:

AIR (there were times when the word SKY got erased on some boards and replaced by ***, that why I avoided the real names.)
On monday I already sent back my smartcard (4 days before the end of my contract - so they can´t maintain that i used their smartcard longer in my dreambox).
Now I´ve still got FTA channels and Amazon Prime Instant Video (which I rarely used up to now) and lots of bought 2D/3D blu-ray discs. (Still haven´t watched ~20 new bought blu-rays and many more new bought DVDs. I´m oversupplied. Don´t know, when to watch all the stuff.)
-------
Had some german beer (PILS) the last days, too. (Never mixed it with Strongbow cider the same evening, of course. Either beer or cider.
But Strongbow really is better than Somersby - except for people who want sweet drinks).
Maybe one day I´ll try Merrydown cider (7.5% alcohol ). ...

Today I´m curious whether I´ll get Windows 10 or not. On my pc No. 1 I´ve got a 6.52 GB big folder named $Windows.~BT and this should contain the Windows 10 files, but I didn´t yet get the message from Microsoft, that I could upgrade now.

Seems as if I don´t get it, yet. No need to hurry.
Have a good time (all)

Nice. Then hopefully your YouTube uploads may gain some more mouseclicks.

My outdoor thermometer even showed maximum 44 °C last week on my balcony. The first time ever.
Luckily since monday we´ve gone down to 21 °C at daytime and only ~16 °C at night. Just heard on the news: "Good news for all sun worshippers. Next week we´re going to see another heat wave."

Some good news, at least.

Yes, that´s why I cancelled my subscription. The amount of ads is rising and you have to use their closed hardware that doesn´t even allow you to transfer recordings from FTA channels to a pc. I could live with not being able to transfer the encrypted SKY recordings, but I won´t accept to get stopped from storing free stuff from other FTA providers.

I gave away the Somersby - which, by the way, - is by Carlsberg.
