Well, Renndog Studios in the San Fernando Valley has shrunk yet again! Gone is the Dell PC and in ... is a Mac! Gotta tell ya, now I see why everyone raves about Macs for music and all things creative! I'm lovin' it. And because of the AMAZING virtual plug-in synths in Logic 8 and Reason, I was able to retire from active duty many of my old tried and true outboard hardware synths ... thus the studio shrinkage. Also warmed up the vocals with a Universal Audio Solo/610 tube pre-amp. All adds up to better and phatter sounds!
