    Bruce's rant from L.A. Saturday.

    Great.... one more reason for Maiden to avoid the States. I'll never understand the scum that seem to show up at concerts nowadays...

    What do you think of Maiden's touring schedule?

    I don't like it either... I could take a train to NYC, but having just seen them in June, I am not sure its worth the effort or the extra money.

    What do you think of Maiden's touring schedule?

    Check their site. Rod explains why - basically, they were just here for the Give Me Ed Tour.

    PC or self-contained studio???

    From what I have seen/heard, most of the 'real' studios use Pro Tools and their hardware for digital recording. I.e., there is a dedicated piece of hardware that accepts inputs, converts to digital, and then the data is either written to an intermediate storage device or directly to a PC (or...

    PC or self-contained studio???

    I'm really interested in hearing how it 'feels' when you play it... it looks like it would have as similar feel to my Aria Pro II, which is the nicest git I've ever played (in terms of neck, action, body size, etc.) Let me know! Also, I'd be interested in reading more on how the damn thing...

    PC or self-contained studio???

    Dude, that git looks killer! As you know, I've got the POD, so I love Line6. How much is that bad boy???? Yeah, I'm bummed about the Exxplorer thing, but who knows what will happen? At least it was an opportunity to do something at that level, even if was only 4 songs on a re-release...

    PC or self-contained studio???

    I'm afraid the Exxplorer thing is dead or dying. They have no ambition, but I'm there if they decide to ever do anything. I'm planning on writing and recording my own CD now. I'll do it solo (with the exception of drums and perhaps a guest musician or two). When its done and if I think its...

    PC or self-contained studio???

    I've been looking into setting up a small digital recording studio in order to do my own recordings and perhaps make some $$ recording for local bands, artists, etc. This means, of course, that I need to have multiple inputs. I've seen some combo rack mount/soundcards that give you...

    broke my hand

    so does the edit command on this site! Anyway, hope your going to make out OK. I am rebuilding my recording PC this month, and since the last one crashed HARD and since changing jobs, I've lost a TON of stuff. Can I get some material from you? Drop me a line at .... and I'll hook up with...
