The 80's - The Decade That Made Us

[MBTC]

Yeah I understand, making music is a sort of therapy for me as well. I decided at a young age to never allow it to become a career, making me the only member of my family that was not a professional musician.

But just for future reference, I don't need distractions either. The way I use these devices, they remove distractions and make life more efficient rather than the other way around. But yes, the way a device is used depends on the user rather than the technology itself.

Do know that I value your insight and suggestions. If I did not already have a Nook Color I may have purchased an iPad for the very reason I got my Nook Color in first place.
In course of building a hardware synth-based studio that started two years ago, buying used, a majority of people never kept nor knew where their User Manual's were and since everything is available in pdf format and I have made MS Word Doc Files of collected germane tips and facts as well and update the micro SD memory card time to time, having all those manuals in a searchable, handy format all in one place has been indispensable on this learning journey.
The person I purchased Virus KC from had all original manuals but not the KB firstly bought but huge percentile is applicable to KB. The large Reaper 4.X comprehensive manual is especially handy now that I am learning this as my chosen software but also have an interest in Cubase.

I now can get my Keyboard Magazine and others e-delivered on it as well, so it has more than earned its keep!
Will take one thing back aforementioned in that there's ONE VSTi that can be run standalone or happens to be fully compatible with Reaper that have an avid interest in purchasing later on, Izotope IRIS. Importing field recordings into the many sample mangling but musically, really looks like a lot of fun!
