Yes Phil, you did a great job on sd2.
But for window-eyes users, it will give them access to sd2, granted
there probably aren't that many window-eyes users on this list, but
one never knows.
But I am doing a very comprehensive set for sd3 which is much harder
than sd2, but a better product.
One limitation of sd2 is that you can't use extra keys to route your
sfz samples too, for instance, the snare rolls that came with sd3 in
one of the sfz instruments loaded up in sd2 wouldn't play properly,
rather they didn't play at all because sd2 couldn't recognize them.
Even after converting the samples, it only played part of the kit.
Sd3 has 12 pads instead of 10, and atleast on my system, isn't a hog,
for some reason sd2 and dimension pro together don't work right, but
with sd3 things are smooth as silk.
sd3 will load up more sample types like flac, and I can't remember
off the top of my head if sd2 had a width control but that's a nice
feature when your making your drums fit in a mix to narrow or widden
the focus of your drums in a stereo field and the most important
thing is that the contents, the samples that come with sd3 are much better.
I know it's not comparable to the great big stuff dfh and bfd and all
that, but still, a nice tool.
I'm getting happy reports back from my first customers on my work 'grin'.
That is what I wanted you know I'm not as good with hsc as you are,
and I was a bit intimidated, but I've always been the type to jump in
with both feet and make a big splash, and I'll learn.
Well, spotting up sd3 was definitely jumping off in the deep end for me.
But because I'm covering two camps, maybe folks will give me a bit of
slack 'grin'.
I'm going to have separate hsc and we setfiles for the mixer and the
drumkit page.
And all the sliders and buttons will be accessible.
We don't have anything as nice for window-eyes yet as hsc for jaws,
but window-eyes does a bang up job of finding things on the screen
when jaws is quiet as a mouse 'grin'.
I won't say it's as good as having sighted help, but it helps 'grin'.
Anyway, it's good to be productive, after doing all the christmas
projects around here, this was a good thing to get in to.
Your my hero Phil 'grin'.
Actually, let me amend my statement about window-eyes on this list,
there are a few of us second class citizens, wink wink, nudge, nudge
here who might benefit from that side of the pie.
I know one in particular who has a free copy coming to him should he
so desire, I won't mention any names, but bet he knows who he is,
I'll give a hint, I'm using the best sets ever developed for sound
forge that he worked hard on and gave to us so I couldn't ever dream
of charging him for my session drummer 3 set 'grin'.
Actually it's session drummer 2 and 3 yikes, I better get that
straight right if I'm going to blow my own horn 'grin'?
YOu guys excuse me for being a little silly in my own living-room.
Anyway, I'm hard at work making these better in both camps, and this
will be a great couple of tools.

There's already excellent access to Session Drummer 2 with the freely
available HotSpotClicker sets that I put together. Not planning two
withdraw that.

Just want to pop in and thank the folks for supporting this little project.
I'm happy to say that your going to get more than what was
advertised, ain't it great when that happens? 'grin'
Best of all, in the spirit of the old shareware motto of low prices
and the honor system, I will never sell anything copy protected.
So look forward to comprehensive access to sd 2 and 3 with both
screen-readers for the ridiculously low price of $10.00
And for those who think that the community spirit has bought the farm
around here to capitalist greed, I plan to submit a portion of this
back to the jsonar project.
Because Vic works his hind end off and deserves some shake for what he does.
But back to the goodies, you'll have access to the mixer view now.
And of course, those who buy from me will get free updates when they
become available.
Merry Christmas everybody and blessings from all of us here at
Affordable Studio Services.
