Wow - thanks so much for the continued informative responses!

This setup at MyShank looks pretty great ( and a bit cheaper than VinylRecorder). Plus they seem to offer 2 to 3 days of free training if you buy the system. I'll look into it more!

Thanks all

Thanks for your post!
I'd love to hear more about the setup you have available for sale. Where are you located? Feel free to email me at massmovementt@yahoo.com

THANKS!

I try doing that, but it can become very daunting and overwhelming rather quickly. Are there a...

That is pretty ridiculous. Considering I will not be flying to Germany for a three day training with this guy - I suppose my dream of getting this is shot. I've read about him a bit on here over the past few days - everyone seems to have problems with him. It's too bad. Are there any other options o...
