Hi all,

I'm back with another drumming question. I've decided that I need to get a drum machine. I was hoping someone could tell me what is the best one to get. I need one that sounds really good, acoustic and electronic, and is not a bear to operate. I love knobs and buttons and hate programming but will do what I have to.

Is anyone aware of an open source audio editing program? It is needed for the prototyping of a piece of hardware. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
George

Although I am not a big fan of compressed overheads I have to confess that I have just burned my tongue recently-lol

I am finishing a new song of my album and realized that a combi of BF 660's and CB's did allow me to achieve nice tone.

So what are your choices on compressing overheads?
Please, the two teams.. Hardware and Plugs!
