I have been working with SS for several weeks now and have experienced many of the problems with it. It is true, you must wait for the task to finish before you click the mouse again or you may crash. This has to do with the way it moves memory around when you change tasks. Another problem you may encounter is that when you save a file (Track,Sound, or whatever) you have to make sure you don't put a period in the name (such as "bass.new") because the program seems to look for the period and a following code (".track",".sound",…) I learned this by losing tracks so be careful. The more I learn the more I see this is a very powerful program. I have added about 20 sampled sound to the library and can start a pretty good jam without an external keyboard. One thing I would like to see is program that prints out the songs as a music score. Maybe one is in the works…? (Or maybe, I'll work on one…) Any specific questions just ask maybe we can find the solutions together… Hope this helped… Jeff
