[..] "My approach to this album as with all my musical endeavors begins very simply with the songs. I use the Roland VSC Sound Canvas with Band in the Box first to get a general idea of what instrument sounds I am looking for. I then generate the music parts or phrases and listen roughly 2 to three times to see if I can feel the song. I edit in BB and will re-generate the melody, swap patches whatever needs to be done to complete the composition in the "feel" I am looking for. I save the song and move on to either NTONYX stylizer or Stylemorpher. Depending again on what "feel" I am searching for. If I play a part or generate a part Stylizer or Morpher can add a little zest or tighten up the composition as I wish. I then use Logic Audio to further edit the MIDI composition. Now it is ready for recording in N-Track Studio. The outputs of my Delta-44 go directly into my Behringer mixer, I use the effect sends and returns which yields a nice crisp sound thanks to the dual 24 bit DSP of the Behringer ULTRADYNE PRO. This unit is a multiband compressor and limiter, noisegate with tube emulation. I import the composition into N-Track and proceed to find the patches I desire for the song. N-Track allows seemless intergration of Cakewalk Dxi synths along with Cubases VSTi instruments. You need no third party "wrapper" programs. N-Track is the best of both worlds. It allows me to run multiple instances of both Dxi and VSTi synth samplers in one session with very little CPU overhead. I assign each part a patch and or synth ( Dxi-VSTi) then EQ and adjust the ULTRADYNE and record. I edit all my tracks using Soundforge 5.0."
