The Mac is here.

The Interface is here.

The Mics are here.

Now for the business cards and slight site re-design. Gotta get the business in business.

One thing that’s been bugging me, though… my Mac Pro (and all Macs sold now, I guess) are now full-on using Firewire 800 (otherwise known as 1394b). You’d think they’d offer, you know, an adapter or cable to help EVERYONE OUT THERE WHO IS STILL USING FW 400, but no. Nope, no such adapter even exists in my city. If I want to order one (and I’d actually prefer two), I have to pay ridiculous shipping. Therefore, I guess it comes down to me buying and installing a FW 400 PCI-e card.

I’ve missed owning a tower.

I have funding! The hurdles have been passed, and I have come through, richer on the other end.

Now to spend intelligently! The gear list includes, but is not limited to, the following;

• Mac Pro
• Pianoteq
• Addictive Drums
• AKG 414
• Sennheiser 421 (love this for radio voices)
• Heavyocity Evolve
• Much sound-proofing from realtraps.com
• Logic 9 (hey, why not?)
• Amplitube 3

I’d type more, but I’m actually too excited to really get it all out in words.

Second track completed.

Before you listen, while I hate making excuses, I really must stress that I plugged in my guitar, loaded up Addictive Drums and the ImpOscar, and said “screw it”. This is what happened. Barely mixed, barely edited, I do enjoy how it feels like a celebration of sound, as if you were to put a soundtrack to a flashy, abstract painting.

Just keep that in mind.
