Tom, thanks for your kind comments.

I would say I am about 99% there with a totally software based system. In fact, I may move to 100% given that someone wants to buy my music computer. This will cause me to build the Shuttle XPC computer. This computer has only one PCI slot - so I will just use one high quality soundcard. This sets the stage for the complete conversion.

As I noted previously, I can use LiveSynthPro to produce excellent accompaniment. The only thing is to get all into one host environment. If I can get VSampler to work then I can move completely over to Cubase SX. I will perform further testing utilizing Cakewalk's Project 5. This may provide another alternative.

This is almost as exciting as music?
