Copied Post – Good News and Bad News

Well the good news is I’m working on a song now I think is my best ever. I have 4 or 5 in progress and along with my long 33 minute ambient thing that should be the next CD. I’m pretty happy about it, but it’s hard work! Also this song is about 130 tracks so far so it’s getting slow on my old computer.

The bad news is, everything is breaking down this year. I have a tc electronics M-one that needs repair, and my Alesis DMPRO. Then suddenly a week ago I had car problems (body work) and a few weeks ago my CD-40m suddenly went bad (one osc not tracking right).

Now last night suddenly the same thing happened to my OB-8. I did an auto-tune and it said voice 6 wasn’t working. Then I did it again and it said voices 5-6-8 weren’t working. Third time it said all 4 voice 5-8 weren’t working. I went through them and they all sound but again it seems one osc is a tone low.

I’m guessing both the CS-40 and the OB-8 need to be recapped and I have a feeling this is going to cost around $1000.
