How Ibm using Composerrecording

Hi Sherry:
Yes it is fun. . . but time consuming to switch between the programs to get done what needs to be done.
Regarding my effects processors, I set them up on channel 16 on each of the two modules that do not have effects. My other modules do have effects that can be configured via sysex imbeded within the .wrk or .mid file and can be altered on the fly. At the end of my chain is a compressor/gate that's an old one but effective. They link through a Midiman 8X8 USB, and each module runs through a 16x Mixer to a stereo amp which drives my Bose speakers (before I moved I had a pair of Martin Magnificats with double 14" woofers, short and long throw, 8", 2x 5" and 2x 1 1/2" tweeters. No room big enough for them now (without cracking the walls).
I was not aware that I could use my .ins (Cakewalk config. file) in Musician or Composer. I'll have to try the Composer demo this weekend and if it can speed up (or make my life more fun) my work, I'll buy it before the price change deadline.
Regards, Larry
