Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Ok, thanks to everyone that took the time to listen to the rough draft and 
give me ideas.  After a bad spell of writer's block, it helps to know 
you're at least on the right track again!  Anyway, after a couple more 
marathon sessions working on it, the track is now done and available for 
anyone that wants to take a listen:

The players:

Emu XL-7 - Provided all of the sounds except the intro pads and guitars. 
This was originally a 16 measure pattern that I wrote to use in a 
downtempo live set, though the addition of the guitar stuff changed it so 
much that I'll need to find a way to mimic it in the XL-7.  The drums are 
all doubled up inside the XL-7, a very easy procedure that makes a huge 
difference in the way they sound.  Easy to do on the mc505 too! 

Guitar - A custom-shop Ibanez S540FMTT running through an ADA MP2 midi 
tube guitar pre-amp, with a Digitech TSR-24s on the effect sends.  A 
really basic tone, with a hint of reverb and delay added at this stage.

Access Virus KC - The pads in the intro are just two held chords from the 
Virus, using my own patches from a forthcoming User Soundset I'm doing.

Cubase SX - All of the arranging and recording took place with this.  Plug 
ins that got heavy use: TL-Audio's EQ-1, PSP24 Lexicon Delay emulator 
(what a kick ass plug in!), Antares Tube (one of my new favorites), Ohm 
Boyz Delay, and SX's Dynamics.

Wavelab 4 - Used this one for the mastering, with the Waves Linear 
Mastering plug ins: LinLowBand EQ, LinMB, and L2.
