That allows you to use auxilliaries on AudioMulch - lucky man. I use a very old Turtle Beach tahiti card which is quite clean but has developed a DC offset over the last year. Turtle Beach don't seem interested in telling me how to cure it or even if it's possible. Still for live its ok. In the studio I use digital only. I plug my Strat and an old hawaian guitar which my wife bought me for 30 quid from a secondhand shop. It has a bass e string and some rubber mutes attatched. I play it with a violin bow and an Ebow. It's my own idea and sounds quite unlike a guitar - especially after its been through AM! I'm very influenced by Indian, and Middle Eastern music as well as North African stuff and my live set is the bastard son of impressionistic, electronically processed extended guitar and the above Ethnic influences - not bad for a Welshman eh :) This RMX thing sounds cool. I take it you're firing samples/ keyboard stuff?? I notice Doepfer have brought a unit out with 64 assignable midi control knobs which sounds interesting. I'm running out of foot controllers since I can't really take my hands off the guitar during performance. I'm thinking of running a sequencer program alongside AM so that I can generate a MIDI data track which changes various things automatically during the piece. The sequencer I normally use is VST but this is very resource hungry and probably overkill for this application. I don't suppose anyone knows of a simple sequencer capable of recording a few tracks of controller data, preferably with the ability to trigger individual sequences spontaneously? :) I might check out some of these algorithmic utilities that you see dotted around the net. I use a standard desktop PC for live work. I don't mind living dangerously and, (so far) no problems at all. Incidenatally you can get Xverb, (free) from the URL I posted a week or so back. Sorry for the long email. If others find this irrelevant then I'll email you privately. Hwyl, Gareth
