Sounds nice, huh ladies?I-468What do ya think Squid? Are we willing to share the magic?

Hmmm...at first I thought having female vocals on tap via VV 2008 was a good idea..but on second thought, this wouldn't make my musical life any more productive. I'd probably spend all my time trying to figure out how it works.I can just see the error message now..."You have failed to create the appropriate operating environment for this application to work correctly. You've left your old files lying all over the desktop, and you aren't reserving enough resources. Go sleep on the couch."

Comes with kick-azz modulations, amazing arpeggios and a seriously tightly-wound, estrogen-enhanced, read-only bitch. I don't care what your desk looks like as long as you tell me I sound great. And I get to keep my own desk.

What about getting a virtual triangle player - I know then bad boyz are hard ass instruments to play - 3 sides to choose from - blah hell, I don't even know where to start!

The engineer I sometimes use loathes triangles. He gets the heebie-jeebies around 'em. I can't figure out his damage about it but I did need a triangle on a tune and couldn't get him to put it in there. So I went out and bought one of those feng shui chime thingies that you ring with a bitty mallet? It was the perfect note too. Sounded exactly like a really nice triangle! I told him that it was appropriate for this song as it was expressive of my spirituality (I'm buddhist). He recorded it without a flinch. Surely he's got to know it sounds exactly like a triangle yet he still listens to that song quite a bit and hasn't made a single comment about it.Denial....it's a powerful thing, lol.

LOL Squids..."read-only bitch". Ya, I had a trial version of one of those...I couldn't save anything anymore.Oh the memories....the whole situation was JUST like a bad software demo: installed itself before I could read the terms of agreement, and after 10 days things shut down so I couldn't turn it on no matter what I tried...Thank the stars I have a more stable platform now....(time to end the puns, I guess! )P.S. "Triangle Aversion"...whoa...heavy stuff. What happens while driving and there is a yield sign? Doritos? I hope I don't get that...life would be over.
