Awesome news Tom! Go get em' Kurt

Lol Tom! Yup, Macs rock (been a Mac user since 1985) .. now running a G-5 with OSX Tiger, and is truly astounding. (I also still use an older G-4 that I can still use my older scsi devices with, though it gets used perhaps twice a month versus 6-10 hours per day of use on the G-5) Cheers Kurty

Lol John! I'm the first taker I guess :-) Hand Drums are very fun to record ~ I had the pleasure of recording a "World Beat Tour" at a studio in Seattle about 10 years ago featuring Michael Shrieve (Santana) ... For the low sonic end puppies such as Tablas or large "Talking Drums", the good old EV RE-20 works great~ For the higher end (sonically), I recommend a small good condenser like an AKG 451. For the mids, nothing like an old Neumann 87 :-) For snares, a Shure 87 works great (is also a great hammer) :-) Oh, and you also mentioned compression. I use a combo of an LA-2A and a DBX-360 ( The 360 is used for brick-wall, the LA-2A for the softer "Tube Compression" ) I also use the same combo for Vox, but with obvious level changes... Cheers Kurt

Hey Doru .. I've seen you post your samples on several sites, and really understand your situation. I plan to get some of your samples this week. **Thank You** !! Your contribution to the music community is amazing, and so giving. I do not know you, however I applaud your courage in a very trying time. (I cant seem to find an "icon" that fits this) All the best to you and your family!!! Kurt

Ha Ha .. This dates me, but we had a big hit here in the 70's called "Disco Duck". Almost made me throw up on my glitter disco shirt .. Oh, and bet you remember that tune Atom Now the Trivia Question: A well known Television and Radio host wrote that tune .. Who was that? Cheers Kurt
