Write while you play, record it at the same time, no
engineering involved (I agree w/you there, Don), leave that for
later when you import the MIDI file to a computer & start the
real tracking.
How about that, Deej? A MIDI guitar hooked up to a synth
workstation? Too simple for ya? lol

>Awesome show. First show of the tour. Steve said they were able to do a
quick tour because everyone was available for a short window of time.
They all seem to be pretty busy with other projects.
It was the most recent lineup, with Dave LaRue on bass and Jerry Goodman
on violin, along with T Lavitz, Steve Morse and Rod Morgenstein. LaRue,
Morse and drummer Van Romaine played first as the Steve Morse Band.
Later Romaine joined the full Dregs lineup for their encore which
started with a blazing drum duet.
There were some minor stumbles with arrangements here and there. First
show kinda stuff. Didn't phase anyone. Amazing players, and a great
night of music.
If you have the chance, see this tour.
Cheers,
-Jamie

Core Duo laptop, 15.4" screen, DVD burner, 1 GB memory. $750
There are better deals on occasion but this is the current sweet spot. I
set up two of them last week.

Hey Lamont,
Thanks for the tip. Have you used Translator with Kurzweil discs?
Does it actually get the loop points correctly? I was hoping it would
also translate the effects in some way to Kontakt too. =20
Anything you have experienced would be great to know.
Thanks,
Tom
