I've got a bunch of fun hardware synths. I'm finding VST synths to be more fun. I set aside two hours per day, each and every day this week to get a handle on Native Instruments Absynth 5. Stephen Ambrose, I can't remember which book it was, mentioned that one of Hitler's flaws in terms of the military machine was he'd assign two different groups the same task.

I've decided that I'm gonna wait on the Super Studio.

I started with nothing and still have most of it left. My current “house” would not meet HUDs standards (American free housing for the poor). However, my gear racks would almost satisfy Mutt Lange.
