Re: Snap, Crackle, Pop - VST Effect & Sound Card Problems

Here is my status quo on this issue:  To hell with using the computer for 
looping and music performance. I'm so fed up with the troubleshooting, 
installing, uninstalling, tweaking, loading, unloading, configuring, 
re-configuring, testing, rebooting, modifying, etc, etc, ad nauseum that I 
could projectile vomit from here to who knows where. I can tolerate only 
so 
much of this nonsense.

I just used system restore to restore my new ThinkPad to the way it was 
when 
I received it out of the box. Thank goodness I had system restore active 
for 
a while before I installed this blasted software and audio hardware.

I removed hundreds of dollars worth of all my audio programs, VST hosts, 
VST 
effects, Echo IO, etc. I'm going to take a break from this bullshit for a 
while and get back to playing my instrument with my simple two space rack: 
my Looperlative and two Boss VF1s. I'll just let all this software sit in 
archive mode for a while, so I can prioritize and get my mind right for 
another experimental festival I'm playing at in a few weeks.

....I should have spent my money on an evantide or Muse Receptor. I may 
still get the Receptor so that I can take advantage of all my VSTs.

At least my ThinkPad is back to original condition so that I can use this 
screamin $2800 machine to check email and surf the web at my local coffee 
shops!   :)
