Live is different. Not just dumbed down like GarageBand or Traction or Acid, but a whole new way of putting together songs. I'm having fun so far! As for using the guitar, I don't want to mess with the "signature" electronics + piano formula ;). I'd sooner play live drums (but I won't be doing that either).

I've been a Cakewalk (now Sonar) user since the Pro Audio 6.0 days and I'd hate to tackle the learning curve to change to new DAW software. My hat's off to you for giving Ableton a go! I'm more proficient on guitar than keyboard, though I'm not a slouch with tickling the synth-action ivories ;-) If you ever decide to use that Godin on some of your tracks I'm sure it would be awesome!

They really are great guitars with beautiful tone...maybe one of the kiddo's will grow up to play guitar. :) Just a thought... you know you might want to reconsider getting rid of the Godin.

That way I can put the money back into promotion, so at least the prizes will ultimately benefit the music. Thanks Mike! I’m thinking eBay.

Say, if you find yourself throwing your hands in the air, saying, gee, I sure wish I could give this stuff away, please keep me in mind for the Propellerhead Reason software. My version (2.5) is about 6 years old. :) Really, congrats on the contest -- that's gotta be fun to see (the prizes, I mean). -Mike Congrats, Brian!
