I was in pal last night, and I had a touch of "the old trouble". Damn pooter crashed as soon as I grabbed the mic.
Which poses the question - "Is there a hidden critic built into pal, or is it my pooter trying to save the world from a fate worse than death?"
As for single singers, I got round this by playing a CD of stuff we had recorded in a local pub during a session.
I may have to upgrade so as to be sure it plays OK next time I try.
Waiting for the catters room to open at 4am can be a bit of a chore for us poor old Brits, but then I dont have to get up for work. (heh heh)
