[Herts] Sound talk

[David Honour]

I didn't recieve it the first time, so, thanks for resending.

I think actually that if I do talk about rosegarden at all, it will be brief, 
mainly because rosegarden is the only program that (albeit very rarely) locks 
my machine so I have to hard reset (boo).

Please do feel free to bring mics, if you have any mic preamps that would be 
legendary.

Please do bring drums, I don't have drums, i'm not allowed them (loud boo).

Oddly enough the drum machine is a Dr Rhythm (DR-5).

Well, there is likely to be quite a bit of ensuing chaos, I have to admit.
