Lots of little things I'd like to unpack here...1. Reason 10. I love it. Absolutely love it. I'm digging it to the point that my hardware studio is starting to suddenly feel like a giant white elephant. I'm feeling rather stupid for my recent investments in hardware since I am just *not* using them. The new instruments Propeller heads added, Plus a few of RE's Ive added recently, have displaced most of my hardware. My modular is still, obviously, relevant as is my Kronos, but my Virus, V-Synth and, yes, even the DSI instruments feel a bit...limited and inconvenient by comparison. I don't even know why I have the Octatrack, Digitakt or MPC other than for a possibly live setup I may need to put together next year. Its a weird, weird feeling for me, who was always so anti-software for so long.2. A big part of number one is my iMac. I don't at all regret paying the extra for that 5k screen. It makes *all* the difference. The screen geometry is Perfect for Reason and other software instruments. Even though this iMac is a few years old already, and its not even fully maxed with RAM, it's lightyears ahead of anything I've ever used. I could easily see it going another 2 or three years as the center of my studio.3. The EP has a title, and even a possible cover. I'm going to try to do as much as I can myself since I believe that creatives should be paid for their work and I have zero budget for a graphic designer. Yes, my presentation will probably suffer....but for some reason I also feel like I *have* to DIY this one. Just once.4. I've found a place I can do a short run of CD's at a reasonable price....so I'll be doing a short run of physical media for the new EP. A few people have asked for physical media of Dust and...maybe. That album is going on 5 years, so it's probably not something I'd do with an eye of making a profit (and, really, if you're in this genre of music and you're looking for profit, you're a fucking idiot).5. Guitar. I kinda want a guitar. And some outboard FX to run it through. We know where this goes...6. Bacon sandwiches are amazing.7. Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
