You know, it's been forever since I last posted, and after I got such a warm welcome! My apologies to everyone here... With a full-time job, high-maintenance family scene, and house that is trying to kill me I don't get back to anything without a reminder. So I'll have to find a way to do that.
Anyway, just for some sense of continuity: I found a Terratec EWS88MT soundcard on ebay for $100- looked away from the
Delta 1010-LT. And now the
Tascam M-30 mixer, which developed an issue or two, is on the bench... I'll have 'er back in $125.00, or about two weeks. I'm now using Sonar Home Studio 4, as well as some n-Track plug-ins, and a few other gadgets. I've been hanging out on the nTrack site, learning quite a lot from those guys. Also the Sonar forum- these have been mostly for facilitating the learning of software, but I'm starting to get on the ball now. Got a few good recordings, and there's a band wants to come and do a demo at my little studio- two, actually. So it's going along, slowly- but it is.
I'll be hanging around more, now that I've just run into this site again! Sorry once again for being so suddenly gone like that. Pretty rude... Didn't even START to wear out my welcome. I'll get right on it now!
