Sorry, I’m a musician, not a techie and sure as hell not a computer science grad. Like Scott I’ve programmed synths, analog, digital and software based for a very long time. Beat Buddy may indeed be wonderful, but from my perspective it’s more like torture. I had it up and running for two gigs and half a dozen practices when my hard drive died, since then despite starting at square one nothing works. Their trying to help me, thanks, but it’s still not working.
