Wow, thanks everyone for your kind comments. I have to say I was really amazed by your responses!
Lt. Bob, you wanted to know about my setup. It's real low budget - don't Laugh...
K62 AMD 500mHz, 128mb RAM
DFI mobo
10gb hdd for OS(WinMe), Sonar 1, and Sound Forge 5
40gb hdd for audio files
SoundBlaster Platinum Live, With the Live Drive I
I have some Altec Lansing multimedia speakers for monitoring
MOTU Pocket Express (midi interface)
MX802a mixer and a patch panel
DSP1000pro for some effects
Alesis QS6.1
Alesis DM5
Yamaha PSR-220
All sorts of softsynths
I know it sounds crazy, but it works for me - for now. Everything I have goes through the patch panel to the mixer. I used the drum samples from
the Yamaha PSR-220 on "Broken". For "SEU" I used drum sounds from the DM5 and QS6.1. The guitars on "Broken" used
a real strat of some kind direct into the mixer and a guitar sound from
the QS6.1 combined together. Other than that, my setup is nothing special.
I am looking to upgrade the computer real soon, though. For whatever reason, I can't get Winxp installed on my system (even though everything says it is compatible), so, I am looking forward to that in the near future. I am also looking forward to some nearfield monitors.
Thanks again for taking the time out listen and critique, hopefully my next offering will be better.
