cylobs - "are we not men who live and die": this one won the spot in my
heart for mac vocals, a beautiful yet utterly simple track
anyone else? id love to find more good mac vocal tracks
and on a similiar vein, is there a good program for doing computer vocals on
a pc, or is this just another gift mac users get for giving up universal
compatibility and worldwide access
thanks
brian

-"I certainly had no feeling for harmony, and Schoenberg thought that that
would make it impossible for me to write music. He said 'You'll come to a
wall you won't be able to get through.' So I said, 'I'll beat my head
against that wall.'"
-John Cage
