I actually think the answer should be, "all of the above". That's what makes this board great ( at times ).

2) 3) and 4)

I wish there were less topics like "Your dreams about Tyros 3 or PSR 3100"

I just hope the members of this forum would participate in a more positive way, I appreciate the start topic by Scott, I also have done some a few days ago, but I guess the "other" R vs Y was hot, and I had no much feedback.
What is important is the music you make and keep the audiences happy should matter more.

So, keep the good work Scott.!!
Soon I'be sending you some stuff.

Scott ... actually, all of the above ... and I really didn't mind ALL of the X vs. Y stuff ... I think it is great that someone takes a lot of pride in their kb, talent, etc. and is willing to 'explain' it (they shouldn't feel a need to 'defend' it) ... It's too bad that sometimes the stuff starts getting personal ...
BUT ... I hope we can continue to see discussions about the topics Scott listed, and even some "this is how it sounds on my kb" ...

I'd like to hear more from people using Arrangers with software recording packages like Cubase and Sonar, their ways of working, etc.

Apart from everything mentioned, I also enjoy sound 'shoot-outs' where people record the same exact midi file with all their different instruments.
