MacWorld Expo

Went to MacWorld Expo. Jesus, it was incredible. My jaw particularly dropped at the steinberg booth, when I was watching the rep demonstrate how seamlessly Cubase VST and ReBirth cooperate. He mentioned that I could use Cubase as a sound editor / software synthesizer and control it via a MIDI instrument, importing sound resources from almost anything.

If I had known shit like that, I’d have ten albums out by now, instead of wrestling with the cludgy multi-timbral capabilities of the Roland JV-80 and the mundane general midi instrument set of the Roland SC-155 Sound Canvas. I miss my music gear. I need to figure out a way to get it all from Idaho soon.
