TED - Hope that long post answered your question. But even though I got Cubase not long ago, I've been recording and THINKING about recording for years. grin

PAULSC - Welcome to JPF! Thanks for the kind words...and never worry about mentioning the negatives either. Here we get pretty comfortable with calling out what might need a change, or what doesn't work for some. That's where the best changes come from. I'll see you around.

JOE - I have a friend who just got a ProTools rig, and I've been getting a sense of how that one is laid out too. If yours came with that plug-in called Amplitube...I'm telling you, that is a Very Cool Tool. Anything you can conceive can be heard, and without too much fiddling around...once you learn the program. It's worth scratching. Thanks Joe, really appreciate that you liked it.

-Mark
