Re: [Harp-L] Recording tips

[Tom Ball <havaball@xxxxxxx>]

You're very welcome, Paul, and thanks for the kind words. Actually we 
were in Scotland 3 weeks ago and we'll be back on your side of the 
pond next week at the Stamford Guitar Festival. But alas, neither are 
in the NW.  Feel free to contact me off-list and we can discuss it 
further (in light of all the recent controversy surrounding gig 
posts, I don't want to have to wear a dunce cap and sit in the 
corner.) <g>

But back to your subject: I'll be curious myself to read any replies 
to the part of your question regarding GarageBand for Mac.  My Mac 
also has that program built in, but I don't have a clue what to do 
with it...

cheers eenoo,
TB
