[edit] Computer Production

In the past I used to hate doing everything entirely on the computer. That as I have discovered in the last 12 hours (as of 1st March 2008), this may have had more to do with the computer than I originally thought.

I recently bought a Mac Pro and have been slowly moving much of my old studio software and samples onto it. After just having completed a new track on it I have to say that this machine is just downright awesome but also when CPU speed and RAM are no longer an issue you can really do a lot. Any way I will post a pic up later of what the OS X 10.5 CPU monitor looks like when you run Ableton Live 7 with 4 synth plug ins and loads of FX.

[edit] Cool things I will get to in the future

In addition to the above kit Dale also uses a laptop and a midi controller keyboard live to Trigger samples out of Ableton live in real time. I will get to writing a page with screen shots and a how to eventually, if I don't use the discussion page link up top to remind me!

Also check out this article on Tube article for info on Vintage tubes and valve distortion which is a part of Dale's production process
