I played a $25,000 Gretsch Tuesday night. No shit, only 5 were ever made. Gold-leaf under the orange. The guy who owns it has a very serious collection. I could barely hold it properly. It just didn't feel good at all. Some guitars are better than me.

That's good stuff. I'm right behind you, but you're definately leading the way. Where the hell is everybody?

I'm gonna try to convert all my midi snippets to actual wave files. This could make the project 2 or 3 gigs. Do you forsee any problems in this approach? besides the initial loadup time? Dinty, you showed me how to drag midi into Ableton banks, can I do the same with .wav tracks from...

Ok, I've got songs and loops loaded horizontally. Each Horizontal bank represents the next song in my setlist. Is it better to save the entire project and "collect" the data as a whole, or should I save each song as a project? If I save each song as a project, how do I import it alongside the...

You can't split an Eagles song into tracks. You can record multiple tracks into Cubas/Home Studio if you have an interface with multipe inputs i.e. usb/firewire units with 8 ins that actually advertise simultaneous recording on 8 tracks, Don't know the specs on the Fostex, but I'll assume it's...

Yes, I agree, the Earth is flat.

Just bought an older Axiom25 for $50. Has controller features as a bonus. But I do like the new Roland boards as well. Lotsa shiny buttons and sliders.

That's good advice. OR, you can save your project as a "template" which will load all the FX chains and settings any time you call it up.

I feel like a stalker Dinty. Yeah, I play drums with my teeth. Contrary to your position though, if there's outside music, I can't hear anything else. Voice-overs, conversation, or the excellent tune I was just playing in my head! Really pisses me off when some subs at a stoplight screws up...

LOL. A good friend of mine was working with CreamWare on software to sample syllables, formants, vibrato, attack of the great singers. With it you'd be able to make Sinatra, Elvis, or Nat King Cole sing totally new songs! The whole project got tabled for some reason he was never quite clear on.

You are correct of course. I played around with Ableton last night. Thanks for the tip on how to drag midi files into the clips pane. What a frickin' nightmare. I didn't want to mess around with hooking up the hardware, so I just loaded a few soft-synths up to mess around with. I've got a...

Yer gonna spank the Mojo right outa that axe boy.

Sacrilage, yes. I had an original "67 SG with soapbars. Had to let her go. Couldn't stand the way she whined. Hope her new husband can give her what she needs.

Feel like sharing those midi files?? I too have tried Ableton, just can't wrap my head around it. I'm still using Sonar and a Yamaha Mu100r with boards XGEdit for sounds. Can you explain chopping up your midi files and dropping them into Ableton? What controller are you using for Ableton?

If you decide to buy an Axe-FX, you'll be looking to pawn that Randall. Might help you decide.

I'd be happy to beta-test those for 'ya! :)

I've got one. Love it. The portabilty is amazing. There's about to be an R24 with, you guessed it, 24 channel capability. 8 - simultaneous with drum machine I think. I remeber when an intro four-track tape machine cost $2400. I remember the first Tascam four-track cassettes were about $400...
