hi Andy and anyone else on this list, My name is jim mooney (moonz)...I live in a rural part of south-central Illinois...not too far across the Mississippi river from St Louis, Missouri. I just discovered fruityloops recently so I really haven't actually created anything lenghty with it yet, but I hope to. I'm using an M-Audio Delta 1010 for my digital audio, on a Pentium III 800. I think I'll be using fruity mostly to create drum loops, and maybe some apreggio loops, to fit in with my midi sequences when I construct songs. here's hoping someone or everyone on this list knows more than I do about fruity loops, because I don't know zilch about it, as of now. I'm also not familiar with discussion lists so bare with me if I don't seem to know what I'm doing....it's because I don't! regardz, -moonz-
