  1. I know you guys live far out there, but you should try digital antennas.  I had cable routed thru the house.  When I ditched cable I put a big antenna in the attic, paid about $190 at Best Buy... and reversed the signal flow from bottom up to top down.  I have 3 TV sets with lots of channels .  Sad part is there is no one to watch TV anymore  :(

    What did she play?

    In Middle School, I was on the basketball team and in the band. The band was going to play at a basketball game, and I had to make the choice. I chose the band. It was the right choice for me.

    My daughter plays flute and did so in high school. Not to brag, but I'm bragging...she is a world class flute player and song writer in LA.

    In Marching band and Pep band she was the Drum Major, which was funny because she knows absolutely nothing about sports and always needed someone to translate what was happening ...something good or something bad.

    I've said it before, but i bears repeating.

    My Mother was 100% Polish.
    My Father was 50% Polish.

    We inherit 50% from each parent.

    I'm more Polish than my Father was (even when he was alive you jokesters).

    I wondering if you are happy?

    I knew a guy who was half Scotch and half Soda...he was happy all the time. :)

     Sites asking me to sign up for this or sign up for that. Pay for plays. Pay for airplay. Pay for promotion. Pay for advise. Everyone wants my money for the promise of exposure. It's one long con. And most importantly, it doesn't make me happy anymore.  

    So I quit. 

    This is the old "Picks and Axes" marketing strategy.   During the California Gold Rush it wasn't the gold minors that made the most money.  it was the ones selling the Picks and Axes.

    Yep, Listen, Music is the only way I have made a living for 40+ years and I feel much the same. my time has come and gone and there are huge number of people putting out pretty decent music.  I'm refocusing and creating music that students can learn from.

  5. Any middle school orchestra teachers out there?   So here is a piece I did.  You can purchase it at  JW Pepper.  AI is crazy.  Not enough hours in the day now.  Rockin' my world!

  6. I remember as a kid staying up 'til midnight (Chicago time) on Saturday nites just 'cause I loved the show's theme song.  If I was able to stay awake I could hear the other acts.  We had no way to record music or the TV so besides AM radio the only way to hear/see music was getting in front of a TV at just the right time.  It made going to church the next morning pretty ruff.  We did not have a turntable yet.

    I just want to say thank you to every person who has come here and helped someone else solve their problem. I have come here for many years and there has always been someone who has had the solution to my issue. Thank you to those who don't have to be here but they are, people like scook who helped me in the middle of the night fix an issue so I could keep recording. Guys like Cactus Music Studios, John Vere and Shane_B. This forum and these people are like emergency room personnel there to help in a time of crisis, and if you are recording, and something goes wrong, that is a real crisis. I would rather my house burn down than not be able to get signal coming through a channel. So a huge thank you and hug today to everyone who has helped someone here. ?

    Amen...

  8. This thread is kinda reminding me of how I kinda feel things are changing.  Seems things are way slower around here.  Have most people just moved on?, like to other platforms, not just DAWs, but to Discord, Facebook Sonar pages or other places?

    I do owe a huge dept of gratitude to all the Old-timers here.  Even before I joined the Forum (i think 2007)  I was sneaking around it getting many answers. I have never been good at knowing answers or giving answers,  but when I had an issue I could always get great answers here.  As a self-employed musician I always worried about being my own IT guy,  but between Sweetwater and this forum I had the best tech department anyone could ask for.  I mean I KNOW when and how to use Bapu's Am...or a G7(+9) chord...or how to modulate keys...but I was very sketchy and uninterested in things like IP addresses and such.

    So I hope the new Sonar is inspiring and this forum stays vibrant.   It certainly has served me well in the past.

  9. A geetar player friend (we were in a band for 21 years)  use to say this...

    Whiskey!  Check 1, 2 3, Bring me a Whiskey....

    Many times a waitress would then begin looking for the person to give the whiskey too. Nice trick.

    The bass player always said, "Can you give me a little more upper-mids"

    I thought,  wow he's got some great ears.  But then he literally said that every time we did a sound check... and I realized he just liked saying upper-mids to  impress the sound guy and just like saying "Upper mids"
