Default I got into graduate school! (I'M BAAAACK)

Hey there all,

I took the GRE (Graduate Records Exam) a few weeks ago.
I needed 1,000 or better, I got 1,110.
Hence I got accepted to graduate school.

This is a large relief to me as I need to get this out of the way.
I haven't touched my Virus KC for 6 months and am ready to go nuts at this point.

I FDISKed my DAW, reloaded it from the ground up, and bought a Dell 22" wide panel monitor.

I'm looking into using either the Rekon VST editor or another product as a new means to play with my beloved KC.

I am keeping it simple this time round. I am only loading a few key VSTis and VST FX, no more polyglot. I want to get the most out of a good few and getting less distracted by others is a good way to do that. Also, I am going to play more of my acoustic instruments, electric guitars, etc. as I have been a synth junkie for a few years and need to not neglect my first batch of gear.

DJing has been low key. I almost bought a Vestax DJ MIDI controller but then became aware of the jog wheel acceleration issue it has and decided to wait. I might get a Numark Total Control as it is alot cheaper but it doesn't have touch sensitive jog wheels. The M-Audio Xponent does but it costs the same as the Vestax and is freaking ugly.

Anyhow, that's my status in a nutshell. I have 6 weeks before school starts so I'll be drinking and posting again and hope to catch up with you all soon.

Cheers!

Thanks for the well wished my comerades!

I'm looking forward to jamming out again after such a long hiatus.

Doc, are you still in Austin?

Lorenzo, has INTERPOL found out what you did last summer?

Nvisibl, my secret decoder glasses can see you, change the spectrum!



Cheers mates!

P.S. Been downloading (paid, not P2P) alot of kick ass tracks from www.junodownload.com and www.beatport.com. Give'em a whirl if you're up for new tunes.

Good for you, Lorenzo; that's what I would have done too. No body, no crime!

Hey Tomer! Yes, graduate school = university. I will be going part time (2 classes per semester) and continue working as I must support the wife and kids. Only 15.5 years to go until both are 18...

yup, still in Austin. We're having some weird ass weather here - last two months was basically all rain. Worst flooding here in a long, long time. Upshot to all this rain is that it has kept the temps in the 80s (where it really should be hitting the 100s by now)

ACL is up next !! - http://www.aclfest.com/default.aspx

Hows the weather in your neck of the woods?
