Dave....Thanks for responding to my post. Also, apologies to DonM for taking his post south (as usual), but Dave's post really did stir my curiosity about the attitudes of long-time 'live' musicians about the effects of automation (on them) and how they've used (or avoided) it. I'm sure there's a variety of opinions on the matter but let's not take this post ever further 'south'. Interesting perspective(s) though.
