Got an email last week - You have won the Dream Studio Sweepstakes...

Yeah, Right.

Only thing, it was from Digidesign, so I phoned the contact number and sure enough, I won the NAMM Digidesign giveaway. I vaguely remember dropping a card or filling my name at their booth in Anaheim.

This is a pertial list of what I have coming to me:

+Music XPC Desktop Computer
+Digidesign 003 Factory (not rack)
+Digidesign Pro Tools 7.4
+Digidesign AIR Virtual Instrument Box Set
+M-Audio EX66 Monitor Speakers
+M-Audio Axiom 61-keyboard controller
+M-Audio Sputnik Microphone
+Sibelius 5 Music Notation Software

I feel a bit guilty, cause there is very litlle in this list that I can use right now. As the forum states, I already have So Much Gear and So Little Time.

I'm so entrenched in Mac based HD3 that I've got to be creative to figure out a use for a Native PC setup.

Anyway, the Digi folks I'm dealing with are really nice and I appreciate this whole thing; and in general I'm a big fan of ProTools, which serves me hassle free and doesn't let me down even when I do something really stupid.

I wish it had been won by some young musician/producer just starting out, who would love this stuff to death.
