Re: it's me again...



I don't hate you Cara.  I can still feel good in you...  As a matter of 
fact, when I can mentally strip out all the lols and <smiles> you're 
really intelligent and an amazing contributer to this list.  Not to 
mention a great musician and looper.

It's just that when you put the lols and smiles after every sentence 
they loose all meaning and become noise.  To be honest, they make you 
sound like an idiot, and you're not.  Sure a good emoticon or <smile> 
tag after a sarcastic quip (I wouldn't know anything about those 
<smile>) can be useful, but when I read your posts I imagine you 
sitting laughing manically at everything you say.  Are you really 
laughing out loud after you write every sentence?  Save them for the 
right moment and they'll be so potent.  Think of it like a guitar 
technique.  If you did a wammy-bar dive bomb after every single line it 
would get really annoying to listen to after a while.  Put it after a 
smoking line every now and then and its totally cool.

Plus, your not my father and I'll never join you!

Let's see what changes have happened to my kit (I love that term!  I 
picked it up reading Future Music.  Those Brits)

Traded my Line6 Echo Pro to Mark Hamburg for his E-MU PlanetEarth.

The PlanetEarth sounds were so impressive I sold my Roland MC-307 to 
get a E-MU XL-7 Command Station.  I liked the Command Station so much I 
sold my Behringer V-Amp and Yamaha DJXII plus a few vintage watches  I 
had and got a few more ROMs for it (Beat Garden and Protozoa)

Then I said, "Hmmm all this is nice, but my Roland PC-300 MIDI 
controller feels like cheese-wheat-bacon and beans.  Sold that and a 
Roland SPD-6 to fund the purchase of a Novation ReMote25.  Killer MIDI 
controller, I must say.  Never could get the hang of that drum pad.  
Having a keyboard and the pads of the XL-7 let me do really cool single 
note trills that I couldn't normally do with just the XL-7.  Nice.

Now I have an issue that the XL-7's aux outputs (that are going into 
the Repeater) are dry only.  Maybe a Lexicon MPX-110 might wet those up 
a bit.  Any ideas?  Good cheap multi-effect processor?  I like my 
MPX-1, but just for this I don't need anything nearly that elaborate.

Now I have a gig coming up that's a small festival type of thing and I 
have no looper for my mini rig.  The Echo-pro was cool, but something 
on the floor might be better.  I'm thinking of maybe the Boss DD-20 but 
I'm not sure if it will let me loop and control feedback at the same 
time.  Hard to tell from the stuff I found out there and Roland/Boss 
doesn't publish it's manuals.  Anyone have experience with this box?  
Damn, I'd love to have my old JamMan back for such things.

And that's my story.
