Well, maybe local cultural services give me cash to buy some stuff, and I'm thinkin' about gettin' this setup:
17" MacBook Pro (3Gb RAM, 7.200 rpm drive) Apogee Ensemble FW interface Logic Audio Pro 7.2
Seems like it's built to work flawlesly in combo. Any idea/suggestion/recomendation?
Taxidermist, this one's for you!

I am the wrong person to talk to in suggestions for a computer setup involving mac and logic ;P
That said, that seems like a fairly expensive setup, and it seems like it will work relatively problem free. You must have something nice in mind to consider spending 3k-4k+
I myself have a new job comming down the pipes. I intend on getting myself one of these as soon as possible.

Oh, I see... I also have been a PC guy all my life, but well, if someone pays that for me, and it's the government, then I don't give a shit if the stuff is overpriced. Also changin' because the Apogee only works in Mac, and I fell in love with that gear...
BTW, that Andromeda looks weird (in a good sense)! Kinda alien spaceship stuff...

Yeah. Its a modern fully VCO polysynth. Its the reason I got a job and got into gear in the first place. I played with it the shop a few times and decided "I need one of these. I will get a job so I can save and buy one". Thats one of the only two reasons why I am not a homeless drug addicted wretch right now.

Well, it certainly looks nice, but I don't know anybody first hand who has experience with them.
Would the government be paying for that as well? I need a government like yours that seems willing to pay $$$$ for music gear. :)

Maybe next year. Current year I ask for the DAW cash...
And our local government, well... I kinda tricked them (knowing how to do it because I'm an insider, I work for the cultural services...), but it's been a lot of papers and work.

Tut tut tut. Hardly independence from the system, is it? ;-P
This does seem a failing of beauracracy the world over; so convoluted that only those who work for it are able to take advantage of it.

Indeed. My old flatmate worked for the housing benefits people (who provide cheap housing to the poor/unemployed) she used her inside knowledge to jump the queue (waiting list was up to 18 months) and secure herself a nice flat for about 1/4 of the going rate, even though she worked full time.
The only danger I can see in exploiting it in this way is that people can use it as ammunition to do away with benefits wholesale.

Also here it's impossible to acess housing benefits if you're not in...
Our local government is so corrupt it looks like a Mafia. Go figure, cultural services payed last year a travel to Eurodisney (cost 8.000 euros) to a bunch of party affiliates under the excuse of external cultural promotion.
Now the newspapers, the financial police and tax services are investigatin' them... Hope someone goes to jail (but that's not gonna happen).
Anyway, worst problems are in the territory/construction area, soon all the island will be made of concrete and hotels.

Thats happened here too. Funnily enough, these are the same people who are setting up organized squats in buildings set for demolition as a petition to the government to build more social housing. Its a pity, because their are a lot of poor people who need housing, and the only people who seem to be trying to help them are taking all the benefits for themselves.

If you are going between access and clavia, see about getting yourself a Virus TI. It can do anything the clavia can, plus a lot more (like wavetables and good sounding filters and a bunch of effects, and it can do 3x the polyphony.). That said, the sunsyn is practically an analogue modular in a small case. It can do all analogue, but also has digital oscilators. 8 voices all told.

Coses de fer-hi feina, jeje! Per ara és tot el que em donen. Les altres subvencions (ja saps...) encara no estan avaluades.
Però els meus informants diuen que el Festival sembla que col.larà !
Ja veurem...

Jeje! Em sembla que només al sector de serveis turÃstics i al de la construcció...
NT07 UPDATE!!!!
A veure, sembla que ens subvencionen la meitat del festival. Ara ens posarem a cercar patrocinadors i a ajustar el pressupost. I per "ajustar" vull dir que segurament només us podrem pagar l'avió i potser un hotel del tipus birria. Altra possibilitat seria no pagar això i sà pagar catxé. Per ara i a l'espera de més pasta, les dues cosses no podrem...
Que trobes?
Si pagam pel bolo, haureu de pagar-vos el viatge. La ventatja és que aixà podeu triar l'està ncia.
Si pagam el viatge i el bolo el feu gratis, segurament només us pagarem un cap de setmana.
Encara que també és possible que el finançament extra arribi a cobrir-ho tot. Ja veurem...
Per ara les coses estan aixÃ...

Ok! Ido potser us convendria cobrar el bolo i aixà gastau els diners com volgueu en les vostres vacances.
Campings n'hi ha, encara que no en conec cap concretament... Com he de mirar allotjament per uns galleginyos que igual també venen, et dic coses si trobo res interessant.
Tan prest com pugui també et confirmo les dates exactes del festival...
Això ja està en marxa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
