New Audio Toys

Ohhh, I am a happy Smith this morning. PG Music came out with a major upgrade patch to Band In A Box, adding all kinds of new features and toys for the Real Drums...

... and they've come out with five new Real Drums sets, two new Soloist sets, and two new Style sets. I recognize a number of the Style names as ones I suggested and Very Much Want.

So, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna be a touch busy today. My already-formidable audio arsenal just added heat-tracking, a sniper scope, and about fifteen times the firepower.

How's your music going?

2007 Hugo Nominations

Final ballot. A really good year all around. Long Dramatic, I have yet to see Pan's Labyrinth, Children of Men, and A Scanner Darkly, but unless Pan's is incredible my vote is for The Prestige. Short Dramatic, "The Girl In The Fireplace" (although "Army of Ghosts" and "Doomsday" rocked hard). I understand thatcrazycajun's distress that Heroes didn't receive even one nomination. (And thanks, Matt, for the heads-up on this.) Novel, Her Majesty's Dragon.

Thoughts?
