I steered clear of computer music. totally out of that loop. I record live through (sometimes) a mixer onto MasterLink, FD8, dat, new dvmedia. I never got what running through mazes on a screen did for anyone. I love tweaking things while I play and getting rid of a creak or footstep just isn't worth the loss of communication for me. But studio-personification is something that is a character in the music for me lately, and I like to mic, yes I do. So this works fine for me but to each his reach. or failing that idea: just play for yourself and don't record it until you hear yourself playing your instrument (whatever tool that may be). best regards, Pedro Felix - NYC 2002
