[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='107338' date='Dec 20 2007, 09:17 PM']Did you ever hear about a former guitarist called Billy (his surname escapes me but he moved to my home town in NZ and never gave anyone a chance to forget he was ex-Boney M. Wanted to set up his own world class recording studio but, as was the case with many over ambitious immigrants, it died on its feet due to sheer apathy from the rest of the industry because he charged international rates too!) Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnice![/quote] Steve... Dont remember him...there was a Guitarist called Bobby at some time.. In Fact this Summer i was working in Berlin for the Producer [Frank Farion] who pretty much wrote and produced all the Boney M stuff [apart from a couple of covers] .He was really Boney M. I will email him For Billy's second name.. [Was he English..?] Garry

Thats the very excellent Player called 'Trevor Barry'....! Garry

[quote name='Sean' post='101730' date='Dec 9 2007, 02:35 PM']Does anyone have a serial code for Cubase LE that they could let me have? I got Cubase LE with my Zoom H4 and lost the CD sleeve in my recent housemove. I've now got to reload everything on to my PC since it had problems and I'm a bit stuck. Any help greatly appreciated. Sean[/quote] Sean... If you emailed Steinberg...and explained the problem... They might if they are having a good day help you. The reason being that it is a very cut down version with very little value. It is only a taster to encourage you to buy the flagship models. In fact you would be better of buying Computor magazine.. They have a complete sequencer package...with software synths and plenty of efx. And its P*** easy to use...with plenty of tutorials.. And its free....!!! Garry
