Speaking of all this digital recording stuff, I know that there are a lot of 
you out there who would like to know more about the ins and outs of digital 
recording so that you can record your mellotrons.

There's a new CDROM from Synth-Tek for $20 which goes over the setup and use 
of a digital home studio in great detail.  This company puts out similar 
CDROMs for learning how to use Kurzweil keyboards, and they do an excellent 
job.  I've used them, and they are much more interesting than reading the 
manual, and are a very effective training tool.  The graphics are accurate 
and the tutorials are worth every penny.   If they have done a similar job on 
this "Digital Home Studio" CDROM, it will be well worth the 20 bucks.  It's 
on my Christmas list.

Here's the link:

Then, once you learn how to do all this, you can record a tune for the <A HREF="http://www.tronsounds.com/updates1.htm">
Mellotron Project CD</A>.
