Let me tell you a story...
less than a year ago I bought a Roland VS1880 18 track digital studio. It cost $2000 (plus tax) and at the time that was the cheapest price around. To make a long story short, my bandmates are retards and just stare blankly at it, not even bothering to learn how to use it. So I tell them to F- off, we\'re goin back to the studio where I don\'t have to do EVERYTHING and I\'m selling the thing. Well, low and behold, 4 months after I bought the thing, they come out with a 24 track model, and the price drops $700.
now I\'m trying to sell the f@#$in\' thing on ebay and getting reamed royally. Obviously I expected the price to drop, but Jesus Christ this sux.
Which brings me to the topic of this thread:
I love the fact that I live in an age where there is always some cool new electronic toy or a faster computer coming out, But I hate the fact that once you buy something there is already something better, faster, cooler. And what you bought is instantly yesterday\'s piece of crap.
OK, I feel better now

Nice unit. I would keep it and charge the other guys in the band for your time. :)
BTW, what do you play and what type of music? Any demos to download?

I\'m pretty torn up having to sell it, but it\'s gotta go. sux.
I play guitar in a band called corsair. I have no idea what kind of music it is. We\'re loud & rock-y, maybe somewhat psychedelic. We like stuff like swervedriver, catherine wheel, BLACK SABBATH
verve, etc.
I\'m gonna have a song or 2 on MP3 soon, I could Email to whoever cares.
I also own f-incorsair.com (actually spelled out) but have had no time to build a site there.

Cool,
Keep us posted. I would like to hear some of your music. Once I get some demos I\'ll do the same.

I\'ve been playing guitar for sometime now. I am putting a band together with a friend of mine. We were in a band together when we were in high school.
My musical tastes run from hard, to pop to alternative. It\'s kind of a blend of all the influences I have had over the years.
