No, but now I have one......thanks!!

Just kidding

As some of you may know I recently got a 2nd PC for general family use and will also be using it as a DAW (just for my children to play with...not using to mix anything serious, but rather to just hear whatever is being played through it). 

Would general PC speakers work for this or what other options do I have (besides getting studio monitors)? For an audio interface, I'll be using a 1st gen Focusrite 2i4.

Headphones might be a good option....having to consider the inexperienced musical notes (noises) that we'll all have to hear.

I'm by no means a keyboardist, but do love the sound of IK's B3 and working on a track that uses a B3 (NI's). When it goes on sale, I can (possibly) justify buying it as I like to have good quality instruments (even If I can't play them well lol). Are there any other decent B3's you can recommend? I also have the one that came with AIR Music bundle, but haven't really put it through the paces (yet).

Currently, I'm slowly working on getting good tones out of BIAS Amp2/FX2 which has so many excellent options to tweak....it can also be a bit overwhelming. Always trying to educate myself in finding info on getting the best out of amp sims using hardware/software.  The struggle is real....

Hey Mesh, I bought it but haven't used it yet in a composition. It looks to have quite a few complexities and consequently the learning curve to get the most out of it is probably longer than something like InstaChord/InstaScale/Riffer, but then again it can do more.  

Anyway, I'm far too busy with GAS ? I'll let you know when I use it in earnest! 

....and they said you can fully grasp it from the 20 min video. ?

Thanks Zinc!!

I'm also interested in this. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. ?

On slight different note, is Deoxit the best thing to use to clean up crackling noise on the pickup selector switch?

Got the Lenovo PC and it's working nicely. Except for a few scratches on the case, didn't notice any other defects. 

The only issue is there's no room to add another drive (came with a 500GB HD) and I do have a new 1TB ssd I want to use. Will have to see how to move Win10 to the ssd. 

On a separate note, can I use general PC audio speakes to listen with CbB...just for my little one's to hear what they're playing? Or are there  any other (economical) options?

Those of you who got Riff Generation, how do you guys like it so far and do you use it regularly in your composition?

(the Outside In Edition)

SW, have you used Helix Native (your thoughts)?

I wasn't all that impressed with the Soldano demo, but the Marshall was on point. At this price, it's a no brainer.....purchased!  

Yo, we be waitin' on GrandMaster Bapu to sez da werd....

I think I may have arrived in the wrong universe. Either that or somebody is playing a cruel trick on me.

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar,
You're gonna go far,
You're gonna fly high,
You're never gonna die,

Almost didn't recognize you Glynn with the new 'look'.

I like this track and now listening the album 'The Man Who Never Was'.  

Notes, I like those Zep covers too....good stuff.

@craig: I don't think I can ever listen to Stairway to Heaven the same again

Enjoying this cover:

I just ate it...

@ Mesh -

Per Alan Parsons, RAM is everything!

Why settle for only 8 GB?  Memory has gotten very cheap lately.  For dual-channel use, you'd want two sticks of exactly the same RAM.  So, if you're system comes with two 4 GB sticks, then you'll actually be faster than if there's only one 8 GB stick in there.  That said, if you DO have only one stick in there, you just need to get a second matching stick to get the performance boost.

I can always add more RAM, but it just came with 8GB's. Like you said, RAM is cheap so will add as needed and don't really want to put too much into this PC as it's just a utility PC.

However, Alan is right!

Variety is the spice to life.

Ordered!!

Thanks! Now that's what I call an eye-opener!

That sounds brilliant, but are you being sarcastic?

Swing Zeppelin?

Thanks for the details Copius.

You do realize this is going to cost you me!!

Just keeping with the random theme.

It all went well until the alligator went underwater.

And it's one of the more intellectual threads around here.

Great minds think alike while fools seldom differ.

I'm thinking of getting this: https://www.newegg.com/lenovo-thinkcentre-m83-business-desktops-workstations/p/N82E16883998897?Item=N82E16883998897

Will be installing a 1TB Crucial SSD to it as well as CbB (just for my children to play around with). The main use is for general purpose, but wondered if the 8GB of RAM/rest is enough for very minimal DAW usage (playing with a few synths etc..)?

It's sitting in the cart ready to buy  .
