Re: mp3 clip posted
wow, that's a lot of gear, sounds very expensive. At
the moment, becaue I play in a conventional band, I'm
working on getting my computer set up armed with the
latest version of Cubase so I can record our album. I
tend to play some keys, so I would be using the MIDI
to play the VST organ and synths. I'd love to put
together a band of sorts, involving an electronic
percussionist, and a keyboard player, and I'd loop
between guitar and bass. Anyway, you definitely know
how to make it work, you do good stuff.
