------=_NextPart_000_0027_01C80BF4.411D8AC0--Hi John,
Thanks for the support! I took a look at the eventiter code, and it already
assumes 44.1 for its calculations, so unless you're working at 48k, a sample
rate fix won't help the sound.
Does it get grainy just at high input volumes? I could probably add a input
gain knob, if it doesn't already have one. I bought a copy of it back in
the day, but I don't use that type of effect much, so I'm not that familiar
with it.
I've been hacking DSP code regularly these days, but I still can't read most
of it. I doubt I'd be able to improve the algorithm itself (at least not
until I can figure out more of the ESP assembler syntax).
Let me know what you think.
Mike

I would go for the least removal option. If you practice a couple hours
a day you will be playing at your previous level in just a few weeks.
I pick with the reverse grip, similar to Benson, Dimeola. I am guessing
you are a conventional picker, resting the pick on the flat side of your
index? You could just switch to the "bird" giving finger if you had to.
I once learned to pick the conventional way in about a month, but then
realized it was not as good a method.
Yes, it's a big-assed bummer, but you will be fine and if you practice
hard you might even become a modern day Django! Just think of the press
release you can write for your next album, "Guitarist overcomes CANCER
to make greatest album of his career!"

That would be tacky & exploitive and an insult to all the
people that have a serious type of cancer.
