* Get '''4 monitors''' to work('''DONE'''! Well sort of... See the following link for my situation... )
* Use '''LVM''' to span storage space over 3-4 hard disk drives.
* When I have time, create a shell '''script to terminate studio applications'''. I like having a script to automatically launch and patch studio applications, but find it tedious to close applications - this should be automated...
* Determine method to support keyboards from the wall - '''Tubular Structure'''
* '''Attach monitors to the wall''', monitors to curve (in a concave fashion).
* '''Purchase additional Midi Keyboard / Controllers''' (88 key fully weighted keyboard, and a 60 key semi-weighted keyboard). '''DONE, but pending delivery of 88 key midi controller in mid January 2011'''. I already have an old Yamaha DX27 keyboard...<br /><br />'''By the way, don't let a music store sales rep talk you into purchasing a keyboard for $2500 to $3000.''' If you are going to use Ubuntu Studio and its applications to generate sound, all you need is a Music/Midi Controller Keyboard. The keyboard itself does not produce the sounds, but sends important MIDI data which connects to the computer system (desktop, or notebook for live performances). A fully weighted 88 key midi controller should only cost around '''$300 - $400 CDN''', and a 60 semi-weighted midi controller keyboard should cost between '''$150 - $200 CDN'''...<br /><br />* '''Purchase Electric Guitar''' ('''DONE:''' for my son, but I will learn to use it as well)* '''Purchase Acoustic Guitar''' ('''DONE:''' for my daughter, but I will learn to use it as well)
* '''Start having fun''' (I already am having fun) !!!
