Native Instruments have brought out, what's
effectively, the guitarist's version of
Reason - i.e. banks and banks and banks of
pro-sounds.

Looks particularly good for people still
plugging away on a crap amp and who can't
afford to buy all the 'soft'board it offers.

View one of the trailers first.

PS - Whilst I'm here. I'm looking for a copy of
ageist sci-fi classic 'Logan's Run'. PAL, NTSC,
Betamax, I'm not particularly bothered as long
as it's watchable. Chrs. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Is it the film of "Logan's Run" you're after, or the TV series?
It's not long since the film was on the telly. I'm sure it'll be on again soon.

OMG I'm over 30, don't send me to Carousel!!!!!

Hey D. That's cool, I've got a V-Amp that I use right now, but that software looks cool.

It's the film I'm after. I'm designing a CD jacket
for a rock band who've been inspired by it; I've
got the brief, etc., I just thought I'd sit down
with a few beers and watch the thing before I
started pencilling ideas.

It is on teevee all the time, but never when
you want it to be, of course. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Anyways, if nobody's got in on tape, but knows
it's on in their region/cable channel soon, I'd
appreciate you taping it for me. I'll pay for
for the tape/postage etc.

Cheers,
D.

Theres a few copies of the video and dvd on ebay at pretty cheap prices.

Yeh, I seen them. I don't use fleabay, though.
I don't even visit pornsites anymore since XP
started leaking adware.

Incidently, the band in question is No Connection.
The lucky swines have managed to get three songs
on the new 'Flatout' game.

Click a flag, then click on the lovingly old-
school cassette to play the music. The entire
soundtrack's pretty good, actually.

hey, how do you like the V-Amp? We have Pods in our studio, two guiar and one bass, and love them. I was thinking about getting a GuitarPort to screw around with at home.

I wish they had this stuff back when i was 16, i would still have sucked but at least i would have had a lot more fun doing it.

If you are looking for the DVD of the film, I have it and will gladly burn it for you.

And I agree with Bill, I could have done with
this stuff years ago, too.

My guitaris in the Mcrackins used it on the new CD we're recording. He ran it through a compressor and then through his mackie board and tweaked it. Then he recorded 4 separate tracks "recorded" not duplicated. I gotta tell you, it sounds huge! When he lets a chord ring at the end of song it sounds almost like a pipe organ. Once we get it mixed I'll post the new tunes on myspace.

The Guitar Port Is a WASTE of money, stick to the PODS they are WAAAAY better. I got a GuitarPort and HATED it, they want you to buy all this additional software to record it directly into your computer and it has only a fraction of the functionality of the POD 2.0 and get this...the USB ports are NOTORIOUS for frying out on you about 2 weeks past the warranty expiration. yup happened to me TWICE!

no more guitarports...EVER
