From: Here In Oregon on 19 Mar 2010 15:05 Just kidding, I just did what Glennbo did a year ago in the Cakewalk forums. Yesterday, during my research I noticed in different forums that there is a tide of Cubase, Pro Tools and Sonar evacuees who are relocating to the Isle of Cockos. So for grins I went over to the Sonar forum and typed in Reaper and got some hits including the one where Glennbo said what my subject said above but also a couple of videos that he posted that now have bad links regarding Reaper. I assume he took them down and that the links are now defunct. However, some of you might remember around three years ago I was over there and I made a few suggestions in an Open Letter to Cakewalk along with complimenting them for a job well done. Well the fanboys started attacking me and there was this snowball effect because I was too busy at the time to dance with them because I had this engineer here who I flew out for eight weeks to help me build my current studio and he was costing me a fortune. They wanted me to explain my issue in detail and I just couldn't take the time. Well finally I said maybe I will post our notes and said I never meant to release these to the public. They kept putting me down so around midnight I posted our notes about saving stuff in Sonar. Well immediately they accused me of plagiarizing my notes from either a manual or somewhere on the net and I admit they were detailed and quite lengthy. I assured them however that 97-98 percent was all original writing about how to save files in Sonar. The next day many people came to my defense and the fanboys were put into place and most were kind of apologizing and some posters were saying my notes were great and they were filing them away for archival purposes. So yesterday and again for grins I revisit that thread to see how arrogant I must have been and when I get to my notes they have put what looks like some kind of hieroglyphics throughout to make it almost unreadable. This was never like this before when I checked it three times in the past and as recent as a year ago. Why did they do this now? I also noticed where I make a suggestion in another post in a different thread this occurs as well but never when I am not making suggestions or telling them how convoluted something might be. For those in the know scroll down to almost 3/4s down the page to Here In Oregon in this link on May 13, 2007 12:15 AM. http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?high=&m=1046026&mpage=1#1048448 Thank you for your time and I am curious to get your thoughts. I did cut and paste from *my* original word document the saving part but even the opening four paragraphs have this stuff in it. Maybe one of you programmers can tell me what is going on. Again I am just curious.

MS Word used "smart quotes" (the opening one is upside down) and other characters that don't have ASCII equivalents. If by "they" you meant the Cakewalk people, they didn't do it. You would have been better off turning off that feature before creating the document (it's in the Autocorrect feature settings), but now you'd have to do a search-and- replace for the upside down single and double quote marks. Your post is a little hard to read, but not all that bad.

Try changing your character setting in your reader. Western Ueropean had zero problem - no odd characters. -- Cheers, Ben

Hey thanks Nil for chiming in and I appreciate that. Why did it not do that when I first posted and when I looked at it again for several days after that and then a year down the line and then another year down the line. Cakewalk had to have done something. Maybe they formatted the forums differently or something?

I have a new computer and it is probably reading it differently. That is good to know; I will change my font for viewing. Would you recommend Western European (Windows) or Western European (IS0)????? |
