I'm starting a 20 gallon aquarium to look at while I'm in my studio--so I'm just asking for gift certificates to Petsmart.

razor, word of advice DON'T get any apple snails... I'm looking after a tank / fish for a family member.. they are supposed to clean the tank and keep it clean... which is rubbish.. I dislike the things. The fish are no problem, but them things aggh!

Yea, I have a negative aversion to snails in general because of what they do to my garden. I like the little algae eater catfish.

Thanks,

I'm taking a year off from buying equipment or even asking for it for Christmas. So, i'll take the usual gift.........................................All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teefff!

Ha! Looks like Christmas came early for me

I got Ozone.3, T-Racks 3 and SampleTank.2.5.XL

Installed 'em all and fully loaded up without fuss, running non-stop for hours on end throwing everything at 'em and it all works flawlessly! Couldn't be happier.

The T-Racks 3 is very easy to use! Has a ton of warmth and is very loud n clear.! Everything stands out in the mix! Better than I expected! Also superb for fattening n tightening up bass n drums.

The Ozone.3 is like the icing on the Cake (pun intended)

As for SampleTank.2.5.XL..? it's not too bad, a little tweaking on the sounds I found it very usable. Loaded up multitimbral use and it worked beautifully! All too simple and very delicious


.

they all get scared when I ask for mics and software - they are afraid they'll buy the wrong thing apparently
even if I write it down and show them on websites..sheesh ..how many hints can a guy give..lol

Tell me about it - the person who's buying me the BFD 2 software had to have the entire web page e-mailed to them to make sure they 'got it right'

LOL
That reminded me of when I used to record onto cassette. I remember asking my parents as a stocking filler to get me couple decent cassettes and giving them the brand and the specific cassette number.
On christmas day my father with a huge grin on his face handed me over a parcel that contained not 2 but 20 cassettes he had bought for same price as my requested cassettes down at the market.
You can imagine the quality!!! I never asked again

godino, the pound shop used to sell em 5 for a £1.. lets just say.. they lived up to their brand name.. chizer... that not the correct spelling, but phonetically of a german word.

Colin, when cdr's were just out.. I remember the crazy prices.. £12-15 PER disk (normal ones)... the ones for pro-audio had a stupid price tag also. A friend at work, his wife used to work for BASF (their head office used to be near me) so we got em far cheaper via her as I think she worked in sales or something.

I got the synth anyway. the bloke in the bank remembered me from last time.. oh online shopping again huh? alas work pays me tomorrow , so I'll have to go back I guess.

Hmm, I sold a lot of the things I no longer use and got myself

Powercore PCI Mk2 *2
Waldorf Blofeld Synthesizer
U-He Uhbik
TC Electronic Fabrik C, Fabrik R, Nonlin2
Updated motherboard and 8 GB of RAM
Cubase Studio 4
Eastwest Stormdrums 2

Im very happy with all of that.

What is the Uhbik? I can't find that on their website.

I think I will go for the 7.1 version. Ya know home theater sound! I will need a hat type device to hold them all in place though. At lest I wont have to hear it through ear buds.

Just had to add that I picked up one of these:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186017

Honestly:
GET ONE (or something equiv. for your video card)

My studio is now nearly, almost completely silent.
It's shocking.

Cheap.

Get one.

Seriously.

But take your time installing it or you'll be out...

My present will come in January - the 2 new EZ Drummer expansions - Funk Master & Jazz

I bet you'll like them. Especially the Jazz.

Well, in my case it's what I already got myself for Christmas - a custom-modded Leslie 145 to go with my VK7. Investigating the serial number on the case dates it to about 1959, which makes it just a couple years younger than me.

(Well - ok. Over the last weekend I was in my local (NON-Guitar Center) music store and they had a very clean ToneLab SE on the shelf. I've seen one or two around locally and always thought "I should come back and get that" only to have it gone when I returned. THIS one came home with Daddy...)

But really - that's it, I swear. Promise.




No....really.

Wow! alot of folks want Santa to bring the joy of ProTools 8
That's on my wish list too.
