Build to start Tuesday. Will keep you posted.

Just a quick question. This system will primarily be a DAW. No gaming at all. But will watch movies on it as it is connected to 2 X 22" wide screen monitors. I have no other system speakers, can I get the sound to come out through the studio monitors which are obviously connected to my Digi 003??

Shouldn't be a problem through WMP on XP SP2.

I changed My Email, Phone number and moved to North Dakota

Taking the Huskies to 77PRO's for a cold one.

Cell phones froze up too.

We'll swing through Shanes and let him tune up the Huskies.

Your definitely welcome to pop on by. Since my studio is in an industrial area, I have a place for you to park that 18 wheeler. And of course your welcome to stay at my place for as long a you like. We'll just have to make sure my cat doesnt beat up your dog.
