I "gave" Andy the weekend off, and I did some vocal editing - when a singer (Andy in this case of course) performs a song we usually do about 5 or 6 really good takes and then I go through and select the bits that I like from each take. That is really fun and part of modern vocal production (in my opinion). That process can be very simple (one complete take) or very complicated (lots of edits) depending upon the singer and the song, and over the years Andy and I have voyaged between these extremes. Finally I play the edit back to the vocalist and change anything that they do not like (which is usually just the odd word or phrase here and there).
I also got NI Kore working, which was pretty simple but rather longwinded as Kore needs to scan all my plugins. I had a problem with it before because I tried to go straight to plug-in mode and this time I ran it in Standalone mode first. Anyway - great to have it working, it will help me use Komplete4 which is in the mail to me now. Also downloaded a demo of Massive, which seems like it is going to be a great tool.
This weekend I also went to the movies with my wife, which was very nice. We saw "The Prestige" and "Borat".

What a coincidence, Gareth, I've been noodling with Kore myself this week and have had a bit of trouble getting my NI plugins to scan properly on my new Core Duo Laptop. Challenges the patience, but it's always a rewarding process with NI.
Massive (and FM8, actually) look very solid and I'd imagine they'd both fit in to the Erasure lexicon quite well.
Anway, thought it was funny how parallel our experiences were at the moment. I've enjoyed your musings here a lot.
Cheers.

Funny, I've also been noodling with getting Kore up on a new Intel MacBook pro. Been a bit of a struggle to get it to scan the Komplete stuff properly...
Massive (and FM8) does seem to be a really solid new entry from NI and I'd imagine it would fit into the Erasure lexicon quite easily.
Anyway, just thought it funny how parallel our experiences were at the moment. I've enjoyed your musings here. Thanks.
