My music Bachelors was hard as fuck. On the average at my school, the music majors had to take about 20 more hours than any other course of study. Theory, pedagogy, and ear training, whupped my ass. i may go get my masters or doctorate if i get back on drugs.

you ain't kidding here ray... I was a music major and know the grief wel.l They give you 1/2 a class hour for a class that requires "lab time" of 8 hrs a week, plus the frigging 4 hrs a day in private practice with a piece of plumming hermetically sealed to your lips (I was a trumpet player), and the gigs, and the OTHER band, and the quartet, and then they wonder why you drink all night and sleep through english... sheesh! That is a tough road to take, no doubt. Some good times though!
Just because I"m curious....
what did your first rig consist of?
rode nt-5's > behringer mxb1002 > jb3 (I only wanted to do matrix recordings at first)
Then I added a digimod ua5 and an svu-2, then went to 391's, then c-4's then c-4s and c-1s, then mbho's and I started ho'n it up pretty good after that, but mostly on the multitrack rig! Although I just bought a v2 yesterday!
