i used the torrent file and downloaded it but i couldnt work out how to install - shitloads of files.
so i've downloaded vers 4 with limewire...its all going smoothly. what version are you using? will it make much of a difference to sending projects and such?
also give me some tips on how to use it - i'm having difficulty automating stuff and doing stuff i'd normally be able to do

im using the latest version (5, XXL i think) but nah it shouldnt matter. my old v4 projects open in v5 fine.
ok tips.... well im not sure what you used on that example you posted before (the piano thing) but you just use a lot of patterns for different parts of songs (say, drums, drum buildup, bassline, strings etc) and then open up the Playlist, which is where you tell what pattern to play when. if you want to play around with effects, EQ and stuff youll need to open the mixer, but first you have to look at the properties of a channel (i.e. sampler/303/whatever) and up in the right hand corner theres a little number box which says fx. change that to whatever you want (say put all drum channels to FX1) and then in the mixer on FX1 you can mess with the EQ, volume, add reverb or delay or a billion different effects.
as for automation... well ive still yet to pick that up. it wasnt really big in v4 but its getting bigger. i kinda need to figure out how to automate the volume (using envelopes i think theyre called) just because it makes the songs so much more dynamic and more pro. but that can wait until ive got somethin a little more tangible (i.e. a whole song)
