dude thanks for responding.

You might want to come to IBGEEK.  I am trying to get someone elts 
talking in there other than me aron and scott.  It would be cool to 
see you there.

Like I have to say that this is some great geek talk here below :)
  I am in love with the note retriger with LFO right now.

Sweet sweet geek talk.  I have also had some great luck with 
recording odd voice stuff, like layering my two way radio that i use 
for work (bike courier) with some beats.  Like all the clicking and 
so forth.  I am going to talk to the folks at this fire hall and see 
if i can record there horns and sirens so i can use the waves.  I am 
totaly digging the new microphones I picked up a couple of months ago.
Envriomental sounds are a great as wave forms.  Like take a odd lip 
smack or the sound of hitting a pen on a desk and use it with a arp 
or retriggerd LFO and run it through some reverb and it be sweet.  I 
could go on but ill save it for IBGEEK ;)

Peace
