I don't use Apple, I never liked their proprietary/costly business model. Plus over a 30 year career, I never saw a single engineering dept. use Apple computers. Vax, Unix, Windows and various mainframe supercomputers such as Cray but never Apple. Apple has always been an innovative company but I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Windows guy.

I understand Apple did develop the M4A format to succeed MP3 and so far I'm seeing no problems with it. Studio One can export in that format, Windows Media Player can play them and I understand SoundCloud will except them.

Based on new info acquired, I updated my signal diagram.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
