Then again, maybe not. Reaper has spoiled me. I've come to expect my DAW to work without unexpected results, pops, clicks and crashes. I guess I'm just high maintenance. malachi

Roland will be backing us. They've booked us a great hotel. Until next month, ciao. -- Cheers, Ben

To quote Wikipedia, "Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction or science fiction that emphasizes anachronistic technology, usually from the Victorian age. It is also used to refer to a trend in fashion and music." Apparently it also can refer to creating modern items with primitive tech, ie. I've come across references to steampunk drum machines, guitars, even computers. |
