derton.

According to Alesis: "When we found out Craig was a major fan of the Ion, w=

flattered. But when we found out what he was doing with it—from using it a=
s a
sophisticated guitar, bass, and drum processor to jamming with DJs and hav=
ing it
serve as an arpeggiator module with digital audio workstations& mdash;we w=
ere
blown away."

Now you'll have a rare opportunity to learn what he's learned. You don't h=
ave to be

will let you get more out of your instrument than ever before.

Those who have seen Craig in action know he doesn't do dry seminars or sa=
les

udio
examples, visual images, live performance, and a few surprises too. There=
will be a
giveaway at each seminar (must be present to win), and bring a CD of your =
music&
mdash;at the end of the seminar, Craig will choose three tunes and offer c=
onstructive
comments on how to improve the production and engineering (or if there's =
