I actually use the Mirages all the time. A piano Mirage sound mixed with a Wavestation is the main sound I use. Also Mellotron-like string sounds. Now the Macs are another story. I have some seldom used software on some of them (Max for instance) and lots of old graphics programs (I'm a graphic designer in the real world) but most just are there cause they have something on them that must run on a older OS or different hardware. Some of them fall squarely in the "door stop vintage" category. I don't know if you can see the 4 Apple IIcx computers stacked behind the one rack, true candidates. There is also an Atari with Dr T's omega software in a pile somewhere down there. The trouble is you can't throw that stuff away noadays - you have to pay to get rid of it. And it does still work. Someday they will be free on Craigslist I suppose... -James On Jul 22, 2008, at 8:27 PM, Ross Goniakowski wrote: > my studio ain't a whole lot better, but i decided to not have every > crappy Mac or Mirage i've ever owned actually set up haha...you have > a lot of great gear, but some of it might be considered "door stop > vintage"... > but i repeate: my studio ain't a whole lot better... > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: James Husted <the_ersatz_planet@mac.com> > To: Doepfer_a100@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 12:14:28 AM > Subject: [Doepfer_a100] Messy Studios... > > > I have recently been trolling the photo section of the list and > noticed how much more tidy everyone's studios seem.
