Re: the screen in between

[Douglas Baldwin <coyotelk@optonline.net>]

Hello Stephane:

I've never enjoyed using a computer for music-making, and I've been using
the Korg D1600mkII since February of this year for music recording. I'm 
more
of a real-time player than a software composer/manipulator, though. I thnk
that for drag/drop/click composition, the computer is best. For real time
capture of a sound event, I'm pretty smitten with the Korg. Once the sounds
are in the box, you can edit pretty decently, but it means using a lot of
sub-menus to obtain results that most computer software systems put up
front, nomsane?

Describe your ideal working process a little more, and I'm sure we'll all
happily chime in with our experiences and opinions.
