Defeinitly a COPY of windows, but not pirated. I own an IT company and do installs all the time. Its also a custom build of windows not exactly the full XP install, i pulled out all the Bullshit and re built it ....
The OLP is fuckin badass man, I made all the necessary upgrades to make it as much like the EBMM as possible. New Tuners, New Frets, te Same Dimarzios and Wiring Petrucci uses, abd i stil saved $500 by upgrading the OLP, A friend of mine owns the EBMM and said he likes my OLP better, its got a darker tone than the actual OLP and its got more balls where it counts according to him.
As for the studio mnitors, those are gonna be my christmas present this year, I think im going to go with a set of yamahas but im not positive yet. Ill hit up te andy forum i remember a thread being there on good budget monitors and i think the yamahas here higly rated.
After the monitors we are moving into a larger place in january a rent to own home, so once im in there its time to build some tracking and iso rooms along with a control room. From there its time to start really buckeling own with the recording.
I figure by Jan of 2008 ill open up to local bands and whatnot.
