The Alesis iO Dock looks like a way cool gizmo...almost enough reason to buy an iPad.

Personal or collaborative projects can be hard to sustain as many of my colleagues are simply too busy. The idea of doing things for fun/posterity/personal improvement usually loses out to a paying gig, which is completely understandable. I've been there, and surely will be again at some point.Vito":l45ukxs5 said:If you're a composer and producer (I am), the software tools available today are a godsend. Anyone with a computer, a good set of monitors, and a brain full of good ideas can create great sounding music without any of the limitations that used to afflict the craft.
Yep...been there, done that. It's especially difficult when you have a family, and you take that responsibility seriously. Plus, there's the difficulty of the multi-body problem. Working with others is a great motivator, but it has its own unique kinds of problems...and the more people are involved, the more difficult it is to keep it all together. For me, the solution was to go back to working on my own, with occasional one-off recording projects with other artists.MisterE":hexsma6p said:...I had a small brass group a few years back and we never were able to get there because there were just too many other things which took priority. We managed to do one disc and a few live performances and that was it.
Right...but even then it's a challenge to keep it fresh, spontaneous, and creative, especially when the very real practical considerations of being a producer (I mean in the most general, functional sense) of musical products that your fellow humanoids consume impose all sorts of demands on your time to treat your craft as though it were a business...which it has to be if it's going to support you.MisterE":hexsma6p said:...The ideal it to have your own creative project sustain you both musically and financially...
Glad to have helped in some small way, amigo!MisterE":6fvie99u said:...Anyhow, your post has gotten me thinking again about some of these projects that have been on the shelf for too long! Bravo! :cheers:
Josjor: Vito has received a confuse. Don't you mean "...having all the onboard processing..."? I mean, the Presonus gives you, per-channel:Josjor":6fvie99u said:...having all the outboard processing on the Presonus would be a real blessing.
