Hi Bleeping computer forums!
I just finished getting out of an attempted romance scam I went along with for the learning experience.
I'd like to learn about cybersecurity, social engineering and scams.
Have a nice day!

When I initially became a regular BC member in 2014, I needed and got professional help removing malware, but in 2020, I became a BC Advisor and a Staff member.
I qualified myself to be promoted to a BC Advisor when I provided help in the Windows 10 Support forum to many regular members having a specific common issue.
They were experiencing stuttering in audio, video, and mouse movements, but I managed to guide them to run various system maintenance tools to mitigate the issues.
Additionally, I provided several links to relevant technical articles online, which contained advanced step-by-step instructions that they could perform to fix the issues.
I also used dedicated software such as Resplendence LatencyMon - a suitability checker for real-time audio and other tasks to check their computers' performance.

Realtime audio... sounds like you're a music producer.

To learn about cybersecurity, social engineering and scams, you can read an article on Answers to common security questions - Best Practices.
Good luck!

Yes, I am an autodidact intermediate hobby instrumental musician and mostly play the piano, musical keyboard, and MIDI keyboard.
And I am even well-experienced in MIDI music interpretation and production, hence my user name.

I would really like to apologize for the late reply, but anyway:
Thank you for deciding to become my friend, dlbs!
The DAW software I prefer is the Evolution Sound Studio II, which was included on a CD-ROM when I purchased my full-size 61-key MIDI keyboard in 2005.

That's interesting. I was expecting Ableton or Ardour
But in the end if it works, it works

Yes, and just for the record, my favorite multimedia playing software is foobar2000, which I enjoy because of its visualization feature.
But now, I think we both need to sleep as it is 04:14 AM and we even live within the same time zone, so Good night!
