Distant Towers south

is there anybody out there???? oh well, no matter, I'll pretend there is.

The Distant Towers south studio upgrade is complete. Not completely tweaked in but complete. The studio now sports the following...
--New quad core PC with two flat screen monitors, 500 GB main HD and 1 TB second HD
--New KRK Rokit RP8 monitors with an RP10S subwoofer
--M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8R audio interface, rack mounted
--Furman power conditioner/rack mounted outlet strip
--Samson monitor stands
--Addictive Drummer
--Various cables, mic stands, etc.

Well, guess it doesn't sound like a lot but what it is a brand new studio with this new equipment. All the instruments and mics are hooked up and all levels are controlled from the M-Audio interface. It allows us to lay down live jam tracks and the quality is good enough to allow us to work on songs in the studio together and then work on overdubs later. Not that we are trying to move to a more traditional studio work ethic but we like having the capability to do it when it suits us. Also the latency for the Addictive Drummer is so miminal that Robbie can now play the Yamaha kit while listening to the AD sounds. That was a big and pleasant surprise.
