Bill...to be honest, the last technology I got involved in was programming my DX7. I'm more of a player than a "sound" person. As for recording from the mixer, it's too clean IMO. I don't sound good "clean."
Vangelis....no wonder I hear the Technics being evangelized and canonized all the time.
Paul...you went right to the top of my list for "peer recognition!"
I'm seriously thinking of going down to my storage bin and taking out that PRO-E and playing around with it. I'm wondering how it sounds now by today's standards?
