Well, I didn't take 10 years of piano lessons just to play chop sticks. Can you give me the URL for this Anvil Studio? My fiancee has this ultra-cool Soundblaster Live soundcard on his computer, and I think it actually has an input where you could actually record from a synthesizer, guitar, whatever you can plug into it. But mostsly he just uses the card for getting more realistic ka-booms when he's playing his shoot-em-up games on the computer, so I'm not sure he's done any exploring with the input thingie. And I surely don't know how it works--plus he'd get mad at me if I went messing around with it without his help (though I'd likely just get out the book and figure it out--he doesn't like reading manuals, and seems to frown on my doing it as well, at least when it comes to messing with his computer).

Anyway, this Anvil thing might be a way around all that... :) Old Brown's Daughter
