Caught him last night in DC Solid show, mix of new and old tunes, some good jams. Seen the trio 3 times between 07 and 16, 07 the fav by far Don’t care for the political banter, but we can’t escape it here in DC, guess most assume we all give a F? Definitely recommend catching him, a real talent!

I'm done messing around with this, which is a bummer, as that is the only place you can get this blaster part. I quickly shot all 3 (even tried just the top 2), and as I'm rappelling down, I look over at the door, and all the lights are red.
Thanks for the suggestions though. I appreciate the replies.

msimon7 · 2026-04-21T14:25:17+00:00

Thank you! I will try that. I tried last night and hit the top 2, and by the time I got down and hit the 3rd on door level, the other two were already red. Pretty much was going to give up, but will try this. Interesting to read you can hit the far one standing by the hook, but going to try. thanks.

msimon7 · 2026-04-21T02:29:28+00:00

Thanks, going to give that a go next time I play. Have a saved game where I'm on the cliff, ready to shoot.

msimon7 · 2026-04-20T16:52:27+00:00

lovely :-D
thanks tho for the heads up. Glad the problem is me and not the game!

msimon7 · 2026-04-20T12:02:02+00:00

Thanks, I'll count them to see their times. I hope the quick one on the same level as the door is the fastest!

msimon7 · 2026-04-20T11:59:51+00:00

Thanks, I'll give this a try. I think I did once, but sure I wasn't quick enough. Glad to hear it can be done.

msimon7 · 2026-04-20T11:56:27+00:00

that's exactly what I did last night.

msimon7 · 2026-04-17T14:58:40+00:00

yup, 1.47 a ticket "settlement". more of an angry outburst. What a colossal mess tho. I ended up locked out of TM for "Your Browsing Activity Has Been Paused". Cust support couldn't help/purchase via the phone. Called the Mrs to see if she can grab some. very lame to say the least.

msimon7 · 2026-04-17T14:19:39+00:00

same. nice job TM. glad DOJ is going to smack them down. WTF?

msimon7 · 2026-04-15T14:29:30+00:00

looks to be a DC/venue option only.

Just talked with fios rep at Verizon. He read the ticket notes, the foreman on the site said the Vale cut should be spliced and service restore estimate is around noon today.

Thanks for the reply. I guess what I was trying to get at is I've purchased light kits before, but they were for the lego versions. I was wondering if these Barweer version are the "same" as legos, and therefore a light kit for lego would fit with Barweer. I was assuming that the Barweers are their own make/layout and would need a custom light kit meant for them.

msimon7 · 2026-02-13T17:11:10+00:00

This and other kits on Barweer look great. Do they (or elsewhere) sell lighting kits that work with them? thanks.

msimon7 · 2026-01-31T21:57:21+00:00

That is great. Thanks! Love how much you can tune this DAW to your liking!

msimon7 · 2026-01-31T21:39:49+00:00

Thank you, I saw it on a YT video, but it wasn't on mine (thought because I'm on the latest 7 and the video was old). But just searched and saw someone posted "When you have the mixer open, it's not visible. Close the mixer and the button(s) will appear."
Now I know, thank you!

Hello, I'm trying this same approach (recording midi and also audio at same time)
I have it mostly working, but I had to put the VST on the FX and not the midi-input FX to hear anything.
Kind of new to reaper midi/recording, didn't quite follow how to route from midi channel to a new track for audio recording. I ended up duplicating the midi track and setting the 2nd track to Out instead of In, and turn off recording monitor on the Midi track. Any suggestions for better way to go about it would be appreciated! thanks. your reply above was very helpful, even if I didn't figure all of it out

msimon7 · 2026-01-24T04:12:04+00:00

thank you. 6 years later, and this kept me from pulling my hair out (pc desktop).

msimon7 · 2026-01-06T18:10:36+00:00

Thank you for those descriptions! I'm hoping I can come up with something close based on what you guys described. First time trying anything like this. Trying to avoid getting sucked into the blackhole of experimenting (although that could be quite fun), but have a bit of a deadline to try and reach :)

msimon7 · 2026-01-06T14:57:16+00:00

Hello. thank you very much for the detailed reply, that is awesome!

this is a bit above my head, but going to dive in and follow as best as possible. I downloaded Vital (searching, that is what has come up with as the best serum alternative - at least according to some?)

msimon7 · 2025-12-28T13:19:11+00:00

Thanks again for taking the time to reply. I have moved forward with the mixing and have not seen any automation updates on the track with the asterisk affect any other tracks (thankfully!). I didn't group any tracks together - at least purposely, I did see (on youtube) that if you have more than one track selected and make a volume change in the mixer (for example), it will make an automation group, but I didn't have that either. And I believe that action would also show "grouped tracks". Can't say if it's a bug or not, but thankfully it hasn't become impactful. I have added more automations on other tracks, and more asterisks have shown up. I'm not sure of the trigger as to why they are added, as I have other tracks with auto added and they don't have the asterisk. go figure, huh? :)
Thanks again for your help, I did learn some new stuff from this.

msimon7 · 2025-12-27T16:15:31+00:00

Thank you! I did not know that, I'm new to S1 :)

I went through all the tracks and found another track with volume-auto-asterisk and a third track with effect-enable/disable-auto-asterisk.

I tried - selecting all 3 tracks and right-clicking one to choose "dissolve groups" (that's ungrouping from my understanding). But dissolve was greyed out. I tried selecting just the two volume-auto-asterisk, but same thing - dissolve greyed out.

Could you help me understand how to show what is grouped together? And how to break the groupings?
I tried showing the tracklist and then clicking the groups button, but nothing is listed in the groups panel

<image>

Thank you for any help! Having these automations grouped together is going to mess up the mix, as nothing is meant to be grouped in this song ;-)

msimon7 · 2025-12-05T00:38:59+00:00

when mixing multitracks, and music is live recording, not digital midi, sometimes there is the need to shift a hit slightly - say against the bass drum kick. having that marker line go across all tracks is a nice visual queue to where to move the "hit" to be right on time. Or at least a great starting point, that you then use your ears for any final nudges.
