I guess I'm going back to college...

I've been waiting to click Buy until I heard from you! ?

Why not Fleer? I've had my eye on these for awhile. Interesting fact - if you add the three items to your cart instead of the bundle, you get an extra 10% off. I don't think you give up any product either...? (disregard, bad math!)

I'm kinda feeling like I want this...

I missed this sale - is there still a chance to get the Spitfire reverb at a discount?

Bought the complete midi packs for $29. Could be interesting.

I’ve got a few security cameras that record animals and people. I have had a number of black tail bucks in the back and garden, a coyote on the porch, and a fox in the garden. No bears yet….

Thank you for this advice! I do still have n95 masks and a large outdoor fan. ?

I'm pretending wildfires don't exist...

Thanks Bit - I have been warned about the ice but not about wind. Our house is considered part of forest park, so apparently we get lowest priority when electricity goes out from ice and storms. And since we’re in the hills I’m told you have to stay put as you can’t drive anywhere. I met with a generator company when I went out and closed on the property and I have a whole house generator being put in when I arrive. I can’t change the weather but I’m going to be as prepared as possible for it. ?

I was looking forward to no more snow and then I found out rain turns to snow at about 500 feet and our house is at 1,100. Then again, I saw some pictures and the snow is STUNNING up there and apparently only lasts for a three or four days. Compared to the 7 months of post-apocalyptic gray and the cold I'm used to, it sounds like a refreshing change. ?

I'm moving to the woods but internet was a critical requirement! lol

That's encouraging Craig! Also - it was cloudy and rainy when we were up there last time but I could not believe the amount of ambient light. Here in Nebraska it would have been a dark and depressing day. I read that it's the moisture in the air from the ocean and the angle of the sun that causes light to disperse differently. You still needed sunglasses even though it was raining. With all the windows in the new house, I am optimistic!

I picked up Bag of Tricks mostly to play with the Euclidean beat maker. It’s pretty dang fun actually.

Summers are ridiculously hot and winters are crazy cold and very very monochrome. We really get the worst of it all without much to celebrate unless we get lucky and get a few weeks of fall. I’m not certain how I’ll respond to the lack of sunlight with all the rain but I’m committed to giving it a real go!

Oh man I just want to open all those road cases and see what goodies are inside! ? I didn’t count guitars in the box count. I’m taking those on the RV we booked one way to drive out there. We’re heading out two weeks from today. So tired of all the contractors in the house and everything torn up and just can’t wait to get on the road.

Holy crap - I would never move!!! ?

Forgot to say that the studio required 57 boxes to pack. ?

Thanks Ed! This is a really big change for us. The only thing I don't like is leaving our two kids behind, but I suspect we may lure (bribe) them both to come that way over the next couple of years.

Well, we're two weeks out from our big move to Portland, Oregon from Papillion, Nebraska. We've been in this house for 25 years and raised two kids; I knew this would be a lot of work but I had ZERO idea of just how much stuff we'd have to go through! It started to wear on me in a big way - then I went to Peru for 9 days and did four nights of ayahuasca ceremonies with a master shaman. I'm feeling energized and ready to wrap this up! There is still much to do while dealing with contractors getting this house ready but I feel we're on course. I've been without my studio for a few months now and I really miss it. I have a consult with Haverstick Designs (https://www.haverstickdesigns.com/) to design my studio for me next month. Do any of you know about this group or have another recommendation? I'm stoked to get to have this next one done professionally and I just need to find the right partner. Back to packing...

I got this English version AND this version. Neither worked for me. I must have been Doing Anything Wrong. lol

This fails on install for me - says I need to close my DAW. My DAWs are all closed. What else might DAW stand for? lol

Rain - It's cool to see the Rock and Roll Over art on your desktop! ? That was my first rock album. I still remember coming home (I want to say third grade) and going up the stairs to my room and the album was sitting on steps staring me in the face. Such a great moment! For years when I listened to the CD I expected to hear very specific skips where I knew they were in my album. Here is my favorite Strat - my 1963. It's a re-fin but done really well -sometime in the early 90s I'm told. I had to sell SO MUCH stuff to buy this. Chess sets, guitars, kidneys. I called it the Great Purge. lol

They weren't. t used to be very difficult to get a good plugin under $99.
