Presonus firestudio project and such

[tom adam]

Hi Tony,

Unfortunately going the midi route is not an option. I need to record audio.
I can't recall a patch on my modular ;-)
Looks like I'll be abandoning live after just a couple of weeks playing 
with it. Back to ardour it is than. This is actually a shame as Live got 
everything I need. I liked the clips and arrangement setup.

Cheers,
ToAd
