ONE question arises:

Too SIMPLE?

Bye!

Hi KillerJoe,

Don't know if the question was more specifically addressed to me or not.

In my case anyway: what PC do you see in the gear I listed?

[Stefanos]

Just a technics digital piano and a

fatar studiologic sl-880 piano controller

And then just my pc 1gig ram ath xp 2000+ 180gig harddiscpace 7200rpm.........

I also have a violin, but that needs to be restaurated.............

oh yes, AKG 240 DF headphones

Here's most of what I use, or have had and sold. Currently, I'm messing with an Emu Orbit, and a Kurzweil Micropiano. These are not in my list yet.

Oooh....very nice. Just the odd bit of gear then!

Will we be seeing any reviews?

What's your best investment then and why? If you don't mind me asking...

Cheers

This is what I do, for sound processing. It makes a home studio much less cluttered, Just the wood of guitars, the ivory of piano keys and a microphone and its stand. I've got my computer sitting on a rustic table.

Easthetically, wires, electric boxes and wires ruins my inspiration. A milieu closer to the natural is better for me. Everything that reminds of electronics is concealed (computer case, wires, breakbox). Now I've ordered a Zalman extra silent power supply, which I hope will eliminate the last traces reminding me that there's somthing electric and noisy in my room.

I'd like to be a zen monk, but it's kind of boring. And I can't imagine just playing the flute for the rest of my life.
