Melikes your demo too. Good work!

That is the first time that I have heard the Madonna Piano in a context that I like. It actually sounds great in your recording... I'm gonna have to play around with it some more.

Speaking of avatars... you seem to be going with the minimalist White Album approach, Mr Frodo.

Oh, I dunno what happened. Maybe my server was down the last time I tried to fix it, but I didn't feel like doing the geek thing.

How ya doon, Mr. Z? You've been so "quiet". Good to see you!

Isn't that a killer instrument?

It's an Epiphone E230TC Casino--- stripped down from its original tobacco sunburst finish.

John and I thought the natural wood would make the instrument breathe better.

Man-- I agree with him every time I put on one of his albums (CDs-- mp3 collections--- RECORDINGS)......

I take it you've seen the making of imagine?

There is some footage of them cutting How do you sleep and his gtr sound on that is perfect.

Love that doco and the footage of Phil Spector in the studio is the icing on the cake.

Ah John we miss you so damn much.........................................................

I'm still completely in my Beatles mode... working tormentedly to try to finish up some songs which might at least deserve to rest at their feet.

Feeling rather pissed off these days because my voice does not sound anywhere near as delicious as the McCartney/Pete Ham vocal tone I am aspiring towards. When is someone going to invent a plugin that understands how to properly manipulate the characteristics of a vocal track? There really must be a way to do it. Perhaps that can be the next big plugin for Celemony.

The weakest link in the chain for me, at this point.

But 9/9/9 is coming!!

Just checked the http://www.ikMultimedia.com site to see what their introduction was for today and it appears to be Groov.eMaker running on the iPhone! I actually had some fun with the Mac version years ago... Very Interesting. Maybe they're working on a version of StudioPhonik that will turn the iPhone into a Wireless MIDI module

Groovemaker!?! ME TOO! I loved that thing. (too bad I don't have an iPhone (to run IK's new i-app on ) Love my Nokia N95-4US 8GB though. . . Waiting for the Symbian version of DP6. (I just put that in to be less OT )

If you use a mirror to decipher the number found on the front of the Magical Mystery Tour album, you can call it with an iPhone and discover that "You're getting closer!"

On one hand, it's a bummer that it's neither a ST 3 upgrade or a final release of StudioPhonik. On the other hand, I'm relieved that they haven't released either one, because I flat out just can't afford it right now. Though, I definitely wish they'd at least release the StudioPhonik library for SampleTank, and maybe an update for ST 2.5 that allowed you to mix the mic placement (which they'd end up doing anyway, like they upgraded SampleTank when they released SampleMoog, so you could tweak certain synth parameters if you loaded the SampleMoog library in SampleTank). Or give PLAY a run for its money and do a rock-oriented SampleTank instrument that focused on guitars, basses and drums.

Can you send other tracks in a sequence to this VI and utilize the reverb effects and such?
