What do y'all do?

Howdy

A good topic to kick around every so often. Keyboardists and synth programmers tend to get pretty interesting gigs every now and then so I thought I'd start a thread to see what it is you hep cats do. Do you play gigs? Do studio dates? Design sounds? Sample?

Let us know what you do. I'll come back in awhile and tell you what I'm up to.

KSM44

For my band's studio I was planning on buying approximately 5 good ($500 and up) vocal microphones, spending 2-3 weeks testing them to find out which one would be best for our singer's voice, keeping that one, and returning the rest. Then I found out that stores don't let you return microphones because of health issues. So I have to choose one and hope to get lucky.

Reference versus Play-along Monitor

Can a reference monitor like Mackie or Bringer Truth be used to play-along with or are they strickly for monitoring pre-recorded music? Currently, I use a set of 15-inch EV-152 and a 200 watt amplifier at very low volume to play-along and record. I was looking to reduce the size and replace the amplifier using a aplified monitor setup. Thank you for your help.
