OK, read the docs(well just on that subject) but it didn't
really help me.
I'm one of those people who don't really understand some(most)
of that
stuff.
Where am I supposed to set the ambience?? Is it something you
have
to set for each piece that you want with a different ambience
value??
One other thing. I decided to try L2P, but how am I supposed to
set the
Library Path?? Yes, I checked the docs, but they are to vague
for me. I
assumed that you are supposed to set them in some .ini file, but
which
one.
Thanks
