Subject:VB3 and CLONEWHEELS ...

Hi all ....

After hearing Norm Petersons work and sounds using VB3.
I am getting very enthused about VB3   I have worked with Computers for the last 20 yrs ..
but never any real time spent with a DAW on my own PC ...tho
.....a bit of time with GARAGE BAND as the player while someone else manned the Apple Computer ...and Garage Band controls ..

I do not  have an Apple computer ..but i do have 3 home PC's

So I downloaded the free version of VB3 an now as i understand it ..VB3 is a plug-in so it needs to be used in conjunction with a Digital Music program such as Pro -Tools ...( I think Norm P seems to be the resident master of the 2 ...  VB3 and PRo Tools ..) ...

so i have the free
version of VB3 ,..and of course i dont know how to get it to work yet ..lol

Talk about feeling like i need a 13 yr old to school me on what is next ...

VB3  to purchase is relatively inexpensive in comparison to the Pro Tools an such ...that surprised me ...

so looks like i will need a controller also ...

The question i have about  VB3  is   while one is playing using the VB3 how easy is the hands on work ..like one needs to do with a Hammond ...right hand on keys an left to adjust drawbars and  ...leslie switch ... etc
But a VST .......how can one hands on to a mouse an monitor .while playing ....?????

Any suggestions for beginner setup for VB3 ????

what H/W and other S/W  do i need besides ..

PC
VB3
Controller

what do you masters of the Clone world think on this one ???

thanks .

Mike
