It's pie in the sky. One of the cheapest video effects systems would be to run a combination of a projector as a second monitor and some sort of graphics program, however what I said would require the sophistication of using video cameras in the studio and doing a cut and fade application, as I said, perhaps based on volume or 'soloist' channel embedded code. Perhaps we are grown up enough to have a blank slot for any instrument we deem. I liked the suggestion of having drop down menus and being able to plop midi instruments from pg music's library, with an auto filter. That would be a huge step forward, using existing stuff.

Exciting times. Hold on to yer caubeen.
