Thanks for the info on protools. I signed up yesterday to receive protools first and am looking forward to it. Right now I have logic pro as well and find it workable but not as easy as I think it could or should be. Also, if I do anything commercially, the idea of “that’s what the pros us” carries some weight as well.
Chris, you did very well on the song as well. As soon as I get some recordings with the new macbook under my belt, I’ll post them somewhere for those interested to hear. Once again, thanks for the good info. > On Jul 23, 2015, at 11:24 AM, Christopher-Mark Gilland > <clgillan...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'm a huge huge huge Randy Travis fan.
