  12. No matter how clever, beautiful or awesome is a lady, there's always a guy who's "bored" of her.
  13. This, but not always. If I check the forum on Tapatalk sometimes (very few ones) it asks me to fill again the login when browsing on Chrome.

    Guitar-Case

    +1. On acoustic I like Martin and Yamaha, each one on its own price category, offer good sound, are well built and are nice to play. Epiphones for instance sound good and are affordable, but they're harder to play, perhaps not as a good first guitar as the Yamaha.
  15. Here it's the customs office through the mail service (which carries the delivery service once the parcel is in the country) who handles the taxes expenses. They usually confirm they have a parcel for you and ask for a payment receipt or an invoice, then they add the shipping cost and calculate the taxes and fees. Once you agree and wire payment, they delivery the goods. There are few cases, when the parcel is not very expensive or large, that they calculate the taxes so you pay them to the deliverer. I guess that each country would have its own procedures, it's possible that at some places it's EMS who acts as agent handling the import papers directly, then charging them to you, as Fedex or UPS would do. You're very likely to get better information if you contact your local EMS representatives.
  16. Get well soon, Mike. Damn stupid teeth
  17. I'm in Europe and have ordered goods from Japan several times. I've always used EMS, they're cheaper than Fedex and the like and they don't charge their own fees for clearing customs, but I've always had to pay duties, fees, fleet, VAT and other charges. In this country (Spain) the overall expense to import something from outside the EU is about 30% of the declared value (including shipping cost). So declared value, and what you can produce as a payment receipt, or invoice, are the key items to estimate your customs cost.
  18. I'm sorry for your ailment, Brent. Maybe you'd benefit of some PT at home. Those back exercises have helped me a lot.
  19. It seems that the main problem was my version of GB being very old (like 5.1 while the current one is in the 10's). I thought this was a music game like Guitar Hero, so go figure, I haven't opened it since this computer was new and running Snow Leopard. Likely OS upgrades won't upgrade GB. However without me realising and after several attempts, the sound banks got there and now I have a few more instruments available. Not all the ones I'd need, but enough to make it sound kind of right. Looks like the second matter, the one about making some sort of dynamic drive based on two different HDD is not feasible in OSX It'd make my life way easier.
  20. I have nothing important to say, I'm no one to scold anyone in here. To my understanding there's something escaping my knowledge in this interaction. The pictures seem OK to me, but if they may be offensive to some members, it costs nothing to protect them with the spoiler or NSFW tags. As far as I remember, Knuckles does that when nudity is blatant. I'd be concerned if the pics were posted without the models knowledge, but I think it's fine if they want to pose like that and give their permission to be publicly exposed. They'll have their reasons and I don't think they are considering themselves like objects or toys for doing so. Nude human bodies may look like beautiful objects, like statues or gorgeous animals, or trees, the line between obscenity and beauty rests in the photographer, the model and the observer too. I don't find those pics obscene, yet nor really a work of art either, but nice to look at.
  21. Found it. Mine has no "view" menu on top but from your indications I found a button at the bottom of the pane which opens a secondary window with the score option. Now the tough part of transposing a score made for piano into a more usable guitar one a whole octave higher As if I were able to read music :palm:
  22. The midi came from an online resource at Floydhead.com, no other information. As a matter of fact the website cannot display the page where the midis are supposed to be stored, but the file is there http://www.floydhead.com/PF_MIDI/Money.mid It seems that my GB lacks a lot of instruments, which are not available to download from Apple anymore. Using the ones I have available (some synth bass, acoustic guitar, a few types of organ and so on) I've managed to make it sound more or less OK, but the point is finding the score to play along the tune, which I've not been able to do. I've asked the mate who gave the midi download link, but he hasn't got back to me yet. Maybe he knows how to display the music score plot.
  23. Something wrong happens to my GB. I've been able to see the individual instrument tracks. While some part of the program knows that one is the drums, other the bass and so on, and as such display in the central pane where the track advances (although no score and no way that I can find to make it show the music score), most of them just play and display on the left pane as "Grand Piano". I'm trying to change that assigning the right instrument to every single track, but now the damn GB says that it needs to download the instrument banks. This is not happening, it opened the Appstore but nothing is downloading Now that the drums sound like drums and not some devilish fat piano, this begins to sound as it should. Thanks for placing me on the right track The idea with the HDD is not really daisy chaining them but while having them plugged into different USB ports, forcing the system to handle both as a single larger unit, so no need to move files or changing disk id's to get software finding the files.
  24. I can't choose instruments in preferences, there there's other stuff about midi output, looping, optimization for number of tracks or short delay, etc. However your suggestion, since the .mid file cannot be added to the left pane, made me to create a "new project". This opened a different window with just a "grand piano" track. When adding the .mid file there, it caused a crash and the program closed itself. On restart, creating a new project now showed plenty of instruments in a center pane, where I chose guitar. Now adding the .mid file was possible and it opened all the instruments into the .mid, but the sound is awful and I can't see any score to play along. Thanks!
  25. Couple of Mac/OSX questions. I'm still using Mavericks, for reference. - I have a few midi (.mid) files which are GarageBand compatible, my friends can play them on their Macs using GB-9 and use them to rehearse their lines. In my MBP they won't play. At first they got a warning of not being "approved developer sourced" files, then I told the system to open them anyway, and now they won't play in GB saying "Garage Band cannot play Midi Audio files". Suggestions to fix that? I don't have other GB legit files to see how it works, but the program seems to open and work normally. The midis in my computer play as tunes if using other midi players like MidiTrail. What bugs me most is that my mates can play them normally using my very same version of Garage Band. - Is it possible to add more hard drive capacity to an existing external USB HDD by using another external HDD somewhat linked to it? On Windows one could use what they called "dynamic driver" so when adding more disk space, you could tell the system to handle that storage capacity as if it were physically part of the existing unit. I'd need to do this in order to keep a large collection of files which are individually handled by an application. If I added a larger disk and copied those files into it, I'd be forced to individually add those files into that application. Then the dynamic drive solution would let me just add more files which this application would see as "more of the same" as I already have.
