Hi,

Merry Christmas to one and all (and if you don't celebrate Christmas then Merry Sunday to you!!! ).

I've been taking some time out from family activities to test out the new audio/MIDI interface that Father Christmas left under my tree last night.... here's the link to the music http://soundcloud.com/purplerhapsody/meanderings-in-f-minor

I've been playing this one on and off for a couple of weeks and I think it's almost at it's final version and I think this is probably the first track I've recorded with lots of use of the 'middle' peddle on my Clavinova - it works just like the middle pedal on a grand piano - i.e. the notes that are currently held down are sustained until the peddle is lifted but no other notes are. There's gratuitous use of it for the left hand "pedal notes" from 2:30 onwards!

The new audio interface is an Echo Gina 3G  ( http://www.echoaudio.com/Products/PCI/Gina3G/index.php )

It sounds to me like it's pretty good at recording the MIDI from my Clavinova, playing it back through the MIDI out, and recording it through the Audio interface... and then mixing down to stereo...!

Cheers,
Terry.

Sounds great Terry. I swear by my EMU 0404 USB although I am on my second after the first one went pfffft. Lovely piece of music.

Thanks for the positive comments Will,

My E-MU 0404 USB was lacking an easy way to have targeted aux outputs so that's why I got a different make/model for my new one. Also, using Windows 7 I've been having issues with the E-MU drivers causing blue-screen crashes which I'm not getting with the new one either.

Cheers,
Terry.
