Brian

Awesome stories guys.. I want to read these all day lol. I'm not used to a forum being so slow, as my first forum was at Playstation Underground, where you get about 20 posts a minute per board. I'm gettin used to this though lol. Keep the stories coming, I love reading them! By the way, do any of you guys have experience with the Kurzweil PC1xL? That's the keyboard my parents got me, and I love it so far. I would like some other feedback though, just a confidence-booster ;)

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum. Didn't know awesome places like this existed lol. Well anyways, I started music in 4th grade on clarinet. I'm still goin strong on it at age 17. Just last year I started a music theory course at my school. I went in knowing how to read music, but as soon as we got to writing ourselves, I realized just how dumb I was. Didn't know what a triad was, how to write a treble clef, couldn't even write notes hardly! I really developed over the months, and strived above my class. I had no idea why, until one day when my teacher was like "Omg Brian do you have perfect pitch?" And I was just like "Umm....... What?" Haha so she tested me, and sure enough I did. I didn't even know that it wasn't normal to be able to identify notes like I can. It was really cool. Anyways, now I'm teachin myself a bunch of new instruments, just got a nice Kurzweil keyboard for my birthday a few days ago and hooked it up with my computer to be compatible with Finale 2006. So long as I get accepted, I hope to major in music at Indiana University of Bloomington. Only 2 years ago I had minimal interest in music, just going along with what I was told on the clarinet, but am now striving to make it my profession! Well anyways, sorry I make you read all that (and if you didn't, that's okay I don't blame you lol). So what's your story?

cool, thanks a lot for the help. well, not really i fixed it though, it just randomly went back to normal after like 10 hours of messing with it. i have no idea what i did. never touchin that dialogue box again

I just got Finale 2006 yesterday and was greeted with a horrible problem. It worked fine for about twenty minutes, but when i was tryin to get it hooked up with my keyboard, i was messing with Midi inputs and outputs, and then all of a sudden my "SoftSynth Settings" Output Source is stuck on "Modem #0 Line Playback" and it won't let me change it. Everytime i try to do anything on it, Finale crashes now, and I have no audio. I've tried reinstalling the whole thing, it didn't work. CAN ANYONE HELP PLEEEEASE?!? I would be oh so grateful.
