off - lend a hand - off

[Steve Moody]

Michael, a little extra info-
The Digital Cd Recording Studio software I use has excellent adjustable
scratch reduction for lp transfers, the ability to add delay, adjust pitch,
reverb, gain, amplitude etc , as well as being able to loop and splice
tracks. Nice to know you know the benefits of SCSI, I bet you have a great
home studio - I'll keep working on mine and labor to be worthy. Enjoy
