Re: GEM S3 correct floppy disks, help!

Recording off YouTube

many of you will have noticed the measures YT have taken to make this difficult when trying to <download> Pro-user registration, or recording from the cache in case a Pro user has recently downloaded what you want . . .

Demo of Some of the Sounds in the Fusion 8HD
