: My GEM Wk3 has been stored under my bed for a short time while i have been having work done on the downstairs of my house. It now turns on but the lcd displays nothing and no sounds can be heard or made. Any ideas why? Or what i can do? It worked before i moved it.

How do you know it turns on? do any lights come on to tell you it's on?

If so and the LCD isn't working, then something must have been banged and come loose. Sounds like a trip to the doctors for it then..

"Melody Assistant" by Myriad Software is a nice share ware for composition and tab creation/ convertion.

think of the beat before you try to do it on fruitloops. You can even record the beat you are doing with your mouth on a tape and then match it up with the beat you are trying to produce on fruit loops. as you are developing the beat keep a rythm in your head and stay on that rythm

Check this out ya writing was fucked up but I'm a help you.I use fruityloops and it's nothing wrong with the beats just flow with it,if it sounds good to you use it.If they are a true rapper they can flow over it.

It may be cool to slaughter your English vocabulary and verb conjugation for "rap" music, but punctuation?
Rap is all about rhythm. Don't you think you should keep the rhythm generating elements in your text?

Read up on some music theory.

I must confess, although I am a Mac user and a lover of Logic Audio, I have drooled over the 002 system. There are some short falls for me however. I am from the old school of massive inline mixing consoles and have always enjoyed playing octopus during mixdown. Although I love the automation of a digital system, I find the amount of inputs and outputs you can acheive for a price with computer systems lacklustre. For me, recording a whole band at one time including a fully mic'ed drum kit demands a lot of tracks and audio inputs, mic preamps etc... However much I want to like the 002 system, I don't feel it was designed for that purpose. Without checking the spec's, I am under the impression that it has 8 analogue inputs, an SP/DIF in and out and an ADAT in and out... soooo... large band and 002 don't mix. You could buy an ADAT breakout box to give eight more ins and outs but to keep the quality of the convertors high, you would probably have to be looking at the Swissonic A/D convertor

which will add a reasonable sum to your costs. Add some decent mic preamps and your solution is getting further and further away from the attractive 002 price.

Add to this that ProTools LE isn't a great midi platform although it does do it. How much midi you do and how many inputs and outputs you need should be considered when considering the 002. The rest of the system is droolworthy... :)

Logic audio is more an Audio/Midi facility. The newest version is for OSX as well as OS9 and like you have mentioned is now an Apple company. For Apple users, this is naturally a bit of good news as Apple has a reputation for pride in their software. I can only think that the application will become more and more Mac like and more and more OSX like which is a great thing. I have no comments to make on the Mackie Logic Control but I suspect it's quite an interface to use alongside a TiBook. As far as I know (I should really read up) the control surface is a control surface only and not an audio interface as such. If this is truely the case, then the 002 and Logic control are different beasts. Add then the cost of a decent firewire or PCMCIA interface (MOTU 896 for instance) to the overall cost...

Best of luck
