I forgot to mention that one of my problems has been that I've been sans keyboard for a long time. Of course, I've been sans studio for a long time, too. But now that I'm getting slowly set back up, I realized that the only keyboard controller I have is really nice, but not working.
So, my friend's wife had this Yamaha keyboard (a consumer model with all the drums and sounds and bells and whistles and speakers and everything) that he'd let me use. So, he did, and the first thing I did when I plugged it in and found that it worked was to make him a quick MIDI tune, drop it to mp3 so he could use it as a ringtone. Lots of fun.
Then, when I started working on my own tunes, that's when the troubles began. Finally I started to notice that it was my DS404 sampler VSTi that was the consistent factor in all of the errors. So, that's where I am now.
After I played and blogged last night, I was on the net looking for a replacement. I found a bunch of freeware soundfont players that I'm excited about, along with some good brass and string fonts. So, hopefully that'll take care of it for me.
