I for one, dont do any gigs. Im a bedroom producer. So far with my Korg i30 and Roland VS, produced a cd for my brother in law that he sells when he goes out to churches and sings.
Its not perfect, but people do feel that its a band thats playing there. That makes me feel good, cause it was all done in my Korg i30. Except for the Lead guitars that I personally did.

If I can get that type of quality from a PC arranger, then im sold.
So far, I feel that OMB is really good. I just have to learn the ins and out of it.

I havent even figured out how to make it work with Cubase VST32. I have this program just sitting there. I wish I can learn it really good, cause once I do, then im going full pC.

Little by little, these big companies are going to feel the pain we consumers are feeling.
Why? because, technology is moving foward, and yet, they are giving us products with parts that arent even made anymore.

We are their lifeline. No customers=less jobs for them.
I for one, hope this doesnt happen, but its getting there little by little.
In the current world economy, if a company does not take care of its lifeline, then it will have to settle with the consequences.

best,
