Well, in my normal life I'm a record producer. I have a studio and  
pretty much produce records all day. Though recently I got back from  
a tour with a swiss artist called Stephan Eicher. To be honest, I was  
never really into live playing and was more of a studio animal but  
with him there is a lot of room for looping and improvisation which  
makes it really exciting. And in fact, I learn a lot of skills that I  
can use again in the studio. And also looping which is really 'on the  
spot' makes me a broader musician I think. Hence my interest in this  
forum.

And I'm now the proud owner of a little church near Amsterdam where  
I'm building my new studio. It's a massive project and I promised  
myself that this will be the last one. But really, if you wanna know  
more, I suggest you take a look at www.reyn.net .

Yeh, I recorded all outputs of the mixer separately so I could make a  
more decent mix later on of what I did. The Echoplex is a great  
machine (if it works 100%) but it's a shame it's a mono unit really.  
Though this is still pretty much what I did. I didn't do anything  
with the levels as you can hear or anything else fancy..

You're mooore then welcome. This is a really nice community it seems.  
And also a very interesting one so far. I get great tips in here. In  
fact, I'm now also a proud owner of a Gordius Little Giant pedal! \o/

Cheers,

Reyn
