Confessions of a metal-head

[MusicForAirheads]

I'm very excited to own a Virus TI despite the ongoing problems with stability and integration. The bastard sounds incredible and that's what matters to me....can't wait for OS 3 when all this shit is fixed though!......

I was a metal-head and totally against electronic music until age 16 when I found in my posession NIN's Downward Spiral, Pink Floyd's entire back catalogue, and Eno's Music for Airports. Soon after I bought a little-remembered compilation called 'Amberdelic Space' in '96 which had four CDs of the most mind-bending ambience/progressive Trance/Electronica I'd ever heard. (I recently found it again online from a small 2nd-Hand CD shop in the UK, and It's found it's way back into my collection!)

Learning about Synths then became my obsession. I also got into Digidesign Protools, which for me was simply another step on the way to the 'ultimate' Modular Synth, and a great way to produce! Then computers got better just when I needed 'em to!.....

These days I'm equally interested in good sound-design/ambience/atmospheres, and good 'hooky' tracks, pop, and yes Metal! Thank god for Tool, what a band.....

Here's to open-mindedness, experimentation, and courage in music and sound! Cheers!

Congrats on picking up the TI, you won't be disappointed. Not sure if you are currently experiencing any problems, but mine has been rock solid for almost two years running now, so if you are having some issues, post them here on this forum and we'll see if we can get them sorted out.

Welcome!!! I too, am a former headbanger, but never got a perm, and never wore leather pants. That being said I'm jealous of your Ti and hope you enjoy it. So glad Tool re-defined what the 80s/90s metal bands fucked up.

Cheers!!!
