Either way, you're looking at a several hundred dollar outlay. I rather like Roland GR series of guitar synths, take a look on Ebay.
I'm not really familiar with musicshop, so I couldn't really say what I think of it. But I'll give my heartfelt recommendation to Propellerheads REason, I do most of my tracks on it, and a minimal track will run fine on your 3400. -doktorboring http://www.mp3.com/c6h6 http://listen.to/vektor7 AIM- Doktor242 MSN+Yahoo- doktorboring "Of course you can’t ‘trust’ what people tell you on the web anymore than you can ‘trust’ what people tell you on megaphones, postcards or in restaurants" - Douglas Adams _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
